We still have idiot white trash who think these huge reptiles are "cute" or "things of beauty and wonderment" while letting the snakes roam loose in their homes.

We see it on the "Animal channels" and on news blurbs from local area station reports that many of these fools have infants and small children in the house at the same time.

Not long ago a python or boa killed one of these kids (don't have the exacts) and a week or so later another segment treated us to another white trash household, the parents having dozens of snakes, several of the larger species loose, and the 250 pound fat wife with IQ of maybe a toilet handle looked straight into the camera and said somethng to the effect that "there is no danger because their snakes inherently loved their children and would never hurt them".

Hey, lady, snakes are cold blooded, meaning that they have no central nervous system and therefore incapable of an emotion such as "love".

When the instinct is awakened, what you term "love" more than likely may be "hunger".

Watching ignorance portrayed such as this brings out a little voice in the back of my head which says, "Maybe this is a good thing, for this gene pool need not expand..."

The python would have been careful not to crush any bones.

So the boy must have passed on by cardiac arrest.

"Hey, lady, snakes are cold blooded, meaning that they have no central nervous system and therefore incapable of an emotion such as 'love'."

"Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain."--Freideich von Schiller, The Maid Of Orleans.

Snakes do not lack a central nervous system. Whether they feel "love" is unknowable, but in any event does not depend upon a false claim that they lack a nervous system. You win one point for recognizing that they are cold-blooded, and -1 for thinking this has any effect on their nervous system. So:

Cold blooded: +1
No nervous system: -1
Incapable of love: 0
Cold blooded==no nervous system: -1
"No nervous system"=="incapable of love": -1

Total: -2 for this sentence, making the entire posting the mouthings of a complete moron.

We can do without the color references, thank you.
