Yeah, it sucks to be us. I think everyone up here actually gets the Cowboys-Packers game too, unlike a lot of people in the US.I really wanted to see that game.

Things brings us to the most controversial issue of this blog post, and one that I'm sure will make some people think less of me. I ate some dog. Yes, I did. I know you like your dog. I like your dog too. Dogs are wonderful and can be great companions and pets. At the end of the day, though- I'm sorry, but dogs are still animals. Americans and much of the world may think of dogs as something more, but let this be perfectly clear: a commonly held ideal does not constitute a natural law regardless of how passionately people feel about it. People in the western world are passionate about dogs, and that's fine. Many people in Asia simply do not adhere to western ideals, specifically this one. It's not a matter of right or wrong- there is no absolute right or wrong in the decision of which animals are good to eat and which are not. To fill this gap, we have only a giant clump of emotion. While you're thinking how inconsiderate/inhumane/sickening/wrong it is to eat dog, have you ever though about how a Hindu would feel about you eating beef? A delicious cow to you is a sacred being to them. And do you know what? Neither you nor the Hindu is more right than the other. It's just a matter of personal and cultural convictions, not absolute truth. So yes, I ate dog. I know that many will think this is 'just plain wrong', but well- the truth is that this is governed only by feelings and faraway wishes. Do you know what you get when you govern only by feelings and faraway wishes? France.
Anyway, 12 of us went to a local restaurant in lieu of a traditional American Thanksgiving meal and we all agreed to stretch our boundaries and have something we'd not had before. It was a fun time and we all enjoyed it. Here's a pic of the group

Did you eat the dog somewhere in America? If someone does not follow 'Western ideals' that is fine, but don't come here and go against those ideals. If you want to eat dog, then go somehwere in the world where that is acceptable. I would never go to a Hindu country and eat beef so don't come here and eat dogs (I'm not saying dogs are sacred btw, just making a point).

There is no "Hindu country." Also, you can get beef in India without a problem.
AND we are supposed to be an American company.

I know there is no Hindu country, what I meant was an area where Hindu is dominant.

Edit: the point is, if it were deemed unacceptable to eat that in a particular area of the world, why would you go out of your way to do it there.

I was in Korea when I ate it, I am in Korea now, and I will not do it in a place where it is not culturally acceptable(not to mention illegal).
I'm in Korea, and just experiencing Korean culture.
Fuck turkey. Turkey blows.
