Hello! I am an Australian and I'm going to be defending America today! O.K. Let's see: 1) Inbreeding is a joke that doesn't happen in America, just like it doesn't happen in most countries. Even if it did generalizing the entire nation as inbreds is an idiotic and offensive view. 1-A) You might think "Why should I care, America is offensive to me, many Americans have disrespected me, fuck them". This is again a generalization. Condemning a nation based upon the fact that it has it's fair share of idiots is idiotic itself, showing that you have not entirely thought out your opinion or you would realize that there are many decent American people. 2) I will admit that there are many "over-patriotic" Americans but you must realize that there are way over the top patriots in every country. Americans are just a bit louder, and as they have a more numerous population there are likely to be more of these types of people. Also a sense of pride in your country is admirable, maybe a bit annoying but still you should not dismiss a country based upon the people who love it. 3) Overpopulation is a problem, but looking at it like some huge insult is both idiotic and confusing. Why do you hate a country because so many people live there? 4) PETA is American, but it has members in a lot of countries, and to say that this idea is entirely theirs is wrong. It is an entirely stupid idea, but then again it is not an entirely American idea so hating a culture because they have members of a world wide organization is wrong. 5) America is probably fucked. But to say that they have no future is again wrong. It might not be as "glorious" or whatever some would call it but they will still continue to exist as a nation, and to most likely at some point in the distant future work again to strive, as all nations do. A concept known as "no future" doesn't exist outside some form of continent devastating disaster, which is unlikely to happen. I just don't like it when people hate groups of people based upon the actions of a few. If you were extremely specific then i might agree with you but as what you wrote stands, you are wrong. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1191 Joined: 24 Apr 2008 | "Sea Kitten" in Russian means "Seal" (the animal) ^^. Why the fuck would we want to call fish sea kittens? That would make cats partially cannibals o.O |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1287 Joined: 18 Jun 2008 | Anyone else who think the "Sea kitten facts" are a little.... Odd? A University of Edinburgh study found that sea kittens can remember information that they learned up to 11 months earlier, which makes them cuter and smarter than the president of the United States! Eeeh... |

Some animals do live rather shitty lives on farms, I'm not disputing it. While I've only seen cows and asheep in large open pastures and chickens in a free range environment I have heard of the way animals are treated in large ranchs. Yeah, that does suck but people need to eat and food needs to be made. if it isn't then the bottom line is that people starve. And mankind has started many wars over it's history but do you really think that if given our level of interlect other animals wouldn't do the same? There are some rather disturbing videos on the internet (I'm not going to put them up here) of different species of monekys fighting and eathing each other. One rather disturbing image is of a monkey eating another monkey's arm while said monkey is still alive. There are also videos of Merekats (sp?) fighting other Merekates over some burrows. If given the chance to evolve to a high order of intelligence I think it's rather likely that different species would start wars and would fight each other. But then would they stop being animals and become human? Is "human" a level of intelligence, the level of intelligence that we are now at? I suppose if you view humanity as not a single spieces but as a level in the evolutionary history of our species then maybe yes. What I'm saying here is that every species could (if the circumstances are right) achieve the level of intelligence of a human. Every species had the potential to get to where we are now, just that we got here first. However it is possible for say Lions to develop a detailed social structure (they have in a way), develop simple communication and invent simple technology. Their structure is not suited for the use of technology (as compared to a monkey) so it would take them longer to become "human" but over long time and with the right circumstances they could become human (or very similar in all aspects but looks). My thoughts don't come across well on the screen (especially at this hour) but what I'm trying to say here is that all animals, all living creatures, would behave like us if they could. Some do. I must look like a loon. Boy, this kind of got off-topic. Best for me to leave now. And theres nothing wrong with providing links as long as they don't link to porn or disgusting/disturbing images or videos. If you think a link isn't bad enough to upset someone but might get them in trouble at work say "Not safe for work" before the link, just so peole don't get a suprise and then get banned, |

I sort of found the points you made valid...until you said 'Animals would never do that.' Sorry, I'm not trying to insult you in any way here, or troll you or whatnot, but the fact of the matter is that they would. We have identical 'programming' in a lot of ways with animals; we strive to make life easier, more survivable, and most of all just downright easier. If a cheetah learned to set traps out of sticks and stones to catch bunnies it would. It wouldn't give a toss if it ended up crushing an unappetizing poisonous creature or anything, that would just be a whoopsie. No, animals would be just as likely to fuck with things as we are, we're just doing what animals do but doing it better. I love animals, and I find myself weirdly desensitised to human suffering and deaths through the media, video-games, whatever. If I saw a guy go 'round murdering people in an action film (see: any) I wouldn't care. If he turned around and lightly slapped a puppy I'd probably lunge at the screen. This doesn't mean animals are the more 'moral' though; we are programmed to look after our species and not care about others. A lion will kill a cheetah if it sees it; it won't eat it however. It just kills them to make it easier to catch food, it removes the competition and therefore increases the likelihood of its own species surviving. The cheetah world may have lost a pregnant mother laden with three cubs or whatever. No, I love animals. However, we want to see ourselves as the evil ones. Sorry to go very much off-topic there, but I just fancied being opinionated for a moment, sorry if this came across as smug, condescending, or anything else. It was merely used for discussion. |

Im so going to quote "The Wonder Boner" out of context. I love animals but to paraphrase Jim Gaffigan, "... fun to pet better to chew." [/quote] (shit I erased the quote box thing from "The Deadman") *SNIP* (I don't know if i'm aloowed to post the link, but...) Dude Spell freakin' Check |
BANNED Posts: 599 Joined: 10 Oct 2008 | Genius! By changing the name they wouldn't be disgusting any longer, and people would forget how tasty they are. On a side note, calling them "sea-kittens" doesn't make me feel any worse about the grilled Mahi-mahi I had last night. User was banned for: Your.Name.Here Presents: Perma-Ban, the Thread!.
