Let this be the end of it:

Before the USA came to exist, there was no country here. There were tribal aborignals who did all sorts of things. Then the USA was caused into existence and the prevailing attitude became that we don't eat dogs, amongst many other things that define us as Americans. That's what 'country' means. You meant 'land' in your illustration.

The prevailing thought here where you live is that people from lands where they eat dogs are backwards and barely civilized primitives at best. In addition, we're also likely to find incest, child rape, obscene sanitary customs, and horrid conditions for women where they eat hounds. That to me is no coincidence. I mean, who are YOU to judge that child molestation is some sort of "Evil", huh?

Yes, you misquoted me with an invention of your own. You put quotes around the word as if I said it. Don't do that.

You're an odd bird. I would probably recommend that you don't offer it up to people that you're in favor of eating dogs and have eaten dog, but maybe you're just fine with being open about it.

You're likely to find those same things here in the USA. It doesn't matter whether the people eat dogs or not.

You're correct, I am an odd bird and I am fine with people knowing that I have eaten dog.
I didn't say I was in favor of it. Now you're putting words in my mouth.
After living in Southeast Asia for almost 6 years I've probably eaten a number of things that would make many people sick at their stomachs just at the thought. That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with eating these things, people just aren't used to the idea.
Meat is meat. Some meat is more desirable than other meat because of cultural differences, or because the meat has less fat, or more fat (ever had a piece of true Kobe beef?).
Put your cultural differences aside for a moment and tell the truth, if you were starving, literally, would you eat a dog?

I'm not arguing this point just to be arguing. I'm trying to make you see the absurdity of the statements you've made that JUST because a culture doesn't think that dog meat is taboo they must, therefore, embrace all the bad things that you've written about.
