Oh dear, Gaulder. At least if you get a lamb instead of a Poodle, you can eat it and hide your stupidity. But wow. That link was sad and hilarious all at once.
I'm inclined to go with ted on this theory. How do you not know a Pomeranian from a fox? The first time that thing poops the smell would be a good clue. Then, that might not be fair of me to say given that he obviously has no clue about dogs and I have a dog who thinks it's the height of fun to roll in fox poop.
Just to add, part of being American is having the right to live your life as you wish within legal means. If it is reasonable to change a law that is restrictive of those rights, you work toward that change (such as the gay marriage issue, and I do support gay marriage). But we must keep in mind that in having the right to live as we choose, we must allow others to live as they choose, even if it is not the choice we would personally make.
Actually, Psych Major, there are laws specifically against animal abuse, even if that animal is on your property, though that varies from state to state. Child abuse is also illegal. Disposing of motor oil as you suggested is also illegal, so no, I am not saying that anyone has the right to do illegal things. That argument makes very little sense because that is not my perspective at all, and your understanding of it is obviously skewed.
Unfortunately, people do have a right to be bigoted and racist so long as they stay within the law. And again, people do have a right to build cults and compounds so long as they are within the law.
There is no law against stopping this woman from breeding, and if you want that, then you might prefer somewhere like China, and their laws are nothing to be proud of either.
Personally, I don't feel that someone else having 18 kids degrades me. I could care less what they choose. I'm not the one having them or raising them. For them, it is wise, commendable and noble, even if we don't all necessarily agree. It is only irresponsible if they cannot support their children on their own. As for unecessary, again, that is your opinion against their own.
Point is, just because you don't approve, doesn't mean that it shouldn't happen, or that it's automatically wrong. According to your perspective, only your opinion/belief is acceptable.
Like it or not, it's still legal to have as many children as you want, and for whatever reason you want. No one has to approve. If they are building a religious fanatic army, it's their right to do so. The good thing about the Prop 8 fiasco and others like it, is that people are appealing and fighting against the taking away of those rights. That's what America is all about.
For the record, as a person who has defended their right to use Mrs. Duggar's uterus how she sees fit, I wouldn't care what religion they were as I tend to think all religions are basically the same and don't follow any, in part because I hold them all on the same level.
Christophe is right. I'm sure that there is some law preventing the sale of smuggled goods anyway.
Geekazoid, what an assumption to make about people running the hospices without anything to base it on. Unless, of course, you happen to have first hand knowledge of these places in Milan, in which case, I will shush.
I just have to wonder why so many people are acting as though giving the homeless beluga caviar is somehow wrong and outrageous. It's not going to waste, it's very healthy, as it is packed with omega-3, and is also loaded with vitamins A and D. Furthermore, it's a heck of a treat for these people.
Compared to some of the old touchdown celebrations I have seen, this is nothing. I agree with Johnny Cat. As long as it isn't some two minute long dance routine there shouldn't be a problem. They really sucked some of the fun out of the game with the rule.

Now that I am thinking about it, I hated Home Alone.
