I was just kidding guys.

Well I won't be arguing anymore gotta get the radio out of my fingernail.

Superfluous, after reading your original post, why don't you just tell your landlord/landlady that your roommate has a stowaway girlfriend living with you? That'll probably get them kicked out, or force them to renegotiate the lease.

<< Dogs is just wrong. >>


I dont' see why. Like a ton of people have said in this thread and in past threads... it's just cultural differences.

<< People are just to hung up on pets. Listen to this story as an example.

My roommate bought a ferret against my wishes. So when she left for classes I busted into her room. I affixed him to the backside of her door with a sharp object. Next I stripped down and put on a pair of her underwear. When she came home and enetered her room, I was sitting at her desk putting makeup on myself in her underwear. I got up and started doing my impression of a velociraptor (ala Jim breur style) and stormed out. When she shut her door she freaked out when she saw the ferret. Maybe she freaked because underneath it in lipstick I wrote "I think you got a defective one".

*sigh* people flipping out over animals, what ya gonna do? >>


What the f*k?

 

Nice discussion, DBZwukan! You remind me so much of some poster elsewhere.

Anyway, to answer your question: I'm all for eating dogs if it suits you. But personally, the thought of it disgusts me. It isn not just some affection I have for dogs, for I don't. I must concede that it is just this engraved belief in what is appetizing and what is not. Besides, some of those dogs are too ugly for me to imagine ever putting into my body. Ewwww!

I think someone already stated that it is simply a matter of tradition and different vegetations/experience. It is such diverse experience that affords us all different foods and cultures. It's such pleasure trying foods from all regions of the world.

I have had the privilege of tasting rabbit, snail (I luv it; I once got sick from eating it, though if I rightly recollect), an insect whose name I never bothered learning, and a few others. . . . They tasted great, though the rabbit wasn't that tasteful. At the same time, I was offered the opportunity to eat dog and snake. I was just too scared and the thought of it made my stomach turn, so I never accepted the invitation. I was a kid then . . . so I may have actually eaten the dog by "accident" and when I realised it, I freaked out and felt like throwing up. Ewww! Isn't that what they call "hot dog" here? :Q No wonder that food is nasty. Hehehe! I'm kidding there!

I thought that the meat of animals that are carnivores doesn't taste very good. Also, herbivores would be less expensive and less labor intensive (self grazing) to raise.

<< now... i heard eating people is bad for health reasons.... >>



yea man, i once ate this guy who i had a disagreement with... and the next thing you know, i got kuru... now i'm sitting here, laughing my ass off as i type this...

I have no objection to running dogs, jumping dogs, breathing dogs, drinking dogs, or eating dogs. Dogs NEED to eat to stay alive, it's that simple.

I have a simple rule: I don't eat things if they're cute.

This effectively eliminates cat, dog, deer, and most other non-typical dietarily consumed animals from my diet.
