Be Careful What You Wish For . . .
A few posts ago I wished for someone to reply to one of my posts. I guess I still do, but the dickhead (Really! - he signed his post "Richard Cranium") who sent this is either funnin' me, or Jerry Springer's about to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Here's what ol' Rich writes in reply to my "Say What You Mean . . . Mean What You Say" post:
your words make you seem like a closed minded moron...prosecuting the murderers of animals would only really happen if animal rights were actually laws...which they clearly are not..."murder" as you refer to it(having a law against it usually resulting in death or permanent incarceration upon conviction) refers to the murder of another human being, not an animal...killing or injuring an animal falls under the animal cruelty section in "the law of man" us humans are governed by...so just because killing animals for food, fun, clothing, experimentation, and profit is not a crime in this sick world, dosent mean that it shouldnt be...and it definetly doesnt mean its not murder...it is...and its murder out of laziness, ignorance and greed...maybe you should look into why humans "need" to eat the flesh of other living beings, instead of pondering a bumper sticker or a conversation/arguement you! think youd win only because the whole thing takes place in your feeble closed mind... then decide if you think meat is murder.........................sincerely...............................richard cranium
Although I was mercifully brief in replying to Mr. Cranium, I'm afraid I wasn't too kind, as I did wish him a good life at the end of my reply, but suggested that he "keep it short, ok?" I think the problems with ol' Dick's reasoning - and I use the term loosely - are self-evident, so I won't go into them here. It always amazes me that those who seem to seek perfection in humankind are the most brutally judgemental of their fellow humans, somehow failing to notice what a sadly imperfect trait that is.
Oh, yeah, I remember what I was going to follow up that "Meat is Murder" post with. A few months back I heard an article on one of those network "news" magazines describing how a judge had decided that some poor schlub in Houston had to pay child support for two kids who were not his - even though his wife had conceived them with some other guy and lied to him about they're being his. He apparently raised them and loved them as his own, and still loved them from all appearances, but thought that maybe the guy who'd knocked up his wife while they were still married might join in the payment for raising his biological offspring. The judge said that, even though he'd been misled, since he'd treated them as his, they were his.
So, a judge can order you to pay to raise another guy's kids . . . And I thought indentured servitude was illegal in the U.S. Something's wrong - very wrong - with this.
Well, that's it for now . . .
Don't have a cow, gentle reader.
