Fair point. Libertarians have no basis for objecting to animal torture right here in the United States. None. They might be personally outraged by it, but they are forbidden by their own ideology from doing anything about it.
You'd sit in judgement of another individual? Pass judgement? Inflict your will upon another? What if the charge was animal cruelty and the only bad thing to happen to him is he is arrested and brought to trial? Why is the law against cruelty wrong while sitting on ones hands in a jury okay?
INNER STRENGTH
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
I you can sleep without the aid of drugs, . . . . .
you are probably a dog.
My dogs are among my best teachers for "human" qualities and what it means to be a good and decent human being.
We're supposed to believe this in spite of an insurmountable body of evidence to the contrary? Ha, ha, ha.
That was your joke for the day.
What people invented the suicide bomber and chillingly referred to them as a 'divine wind'? Hmmm?
Or some other country infested with sexually degenerate dog eaters.
I can't believe how wide-spread this belief, that perverts can increase their sexual potency by eating dogs that have been cruelly tortured to death, is throughout the Orient.
We're talking cultural psychosis, here.
I'm sorry to see you are so into racial stuff. What people invented death camps to gas millions of Jews? What people machine-gunned innocent women and chidren in a small villege called My Lai in Vietnam? What people cheated and then slaughtered native Indians in order to steal their land? What people who are supposed to love dogs enslaved human beings and treated them worse then animals?
I've told you it's a dynamic process in which supply of widgets evatually matches demand for widgets.
You made this racist statement, not me. I was only responding to your attack of Westerners in your attempt to defend the indefensible torture of helpless, live, dogs by Far Eastern perverts looking for some cheap sexual thrills.
I was told that A.J. had resorted to cowardly, personal attacks, behind my back, on this thread.
At least you had the guts to make your race-baiting, typical, liberal, personal attacks to my face.
I knew the personal attacks would come. They always do, when you argue with liberals.
Dark skin represented the workers that had to work in the sun; light skin meant you were well off and did not have to work. It's a class thing.
Not neccessarily. Many imperial maids or concubines of wealthy people were from the working class in ancient China. They were chosen solely according to the Chinese aesthetic stardard, not their class backgrounds, so outdoor working doesn't neccessarily make your skin dark.
Huh?
I can't understand how any human being could inflict this kind of suffering to any innocent creature, especially for the stated purpose of "boosting their virility". Seems to me to be an act of a coward, not one of a man.
