Double Standards....

[Atomicus]

Wow... this race issue is so overplayed.

Back in HS, I had plenty of black friends and I used the N-word frequently and jokingly with no negative consequences whatsoever. We reveled in the ridiculousness of racism. Let me give you a little more background on my HS:

1) in Brooklyn, NY
2) about 40% black

Watch the movie Glory, starring Matthew Brodderick, Morgan Friedman, and Danzel Washington. Today's society needs to cleanse these words of the racial hatred from which they spawned from. If you still believe the N-word holds any kind of negative connotation/denotation, then you seriously need to stop living in the past.

Racsim is a valid issue.
Black<white>Black
Black>Black(especially light skinned)>Black<educated successful sellout Black>Black

There is of course the hispanic issue , and unfortunately now , the Middle Eastern aspesct as well.

Rather than sweep it under the rug or tolerate it , we need to address it head on. Education and effort are clearly needed. It isn't PC , but somebody has to address it.


Also , anyone in the public eye. If you are an actor , politician tec , you can get away with just about anything (ie. A football player gets probation for killing someone in DUI) That is DS big time.
There are entirely too many to mention between politics, popularity, race and class.

Euthanasia isn't painful when done correctly. The animal doesn't suffer. PETA is not inflicting unbearable suffering on those animals. Rather, they are giving then a decent, painless death - which is more than you can say for many of the a$$holes who farm livestock such as cattle and chickens for a living.

Wait a second, I have farmed cattle before. My (extended) family happens to own a large cattle ranch here in Texas. I can see nothing inhumane about the way cattle is treated.
For the most part they are allowed to roam a large open field, and fed a very good food every night that they certainly seem to enjoy. They are relatively warm in winter, and kept safe from predators and storms. Overall they have a good life.

aidanjm is now acting as an unpaid spokesman for PETA?

It's all starting to make sense...

Do they have a good death?

My Dad raises cattle, his cattle have a good life too.
