I like eating animals and all. But this is just sick.

1. that's gross. nt

2. Your cultural hegemony is noted.

Thats nothing. In 1954 the UN divided the whole nation of Vietnam in half.

6. Hell, the US killed 3 MILLION Vietnamese.

How many hundreds of thousands were burned alive with napalm adhering to their skin?

The pig had it easy so people should STFU.

8. What on earth does that have to do with killing a pig in 2012?

The US left Vietnam almost 40 years ago. That's a bit like saying environmental activists should STFU about Japanese whaling because of the atomic bombs.

9. Yes, it is a bit like that.

There is something called "relative import".

3 million Vietnamese deserve to be mourned, reflected on, and discussed for ages and ages and ages in the US because that is what we/you did. I don't see that happening. Same thing with the atomic bombs.


So while one does not excuse the other, I will ALWAYS take the opportunity to remind anyone that doesn't give it enough thought that slicing a pig in half is about as far away from killing 3 million people as the distance between Hoboken and Alpha Centauri.

THAT is the connection. Relativity.

3. Isn't that what happens in congress every day?

4. Looks like the last get together at Bohemian Grove. nt

5. In Apocaplyse Now they did it to a bull. Remember?

[saras]

7. Yes, remember, any one killing justifies all subsequent killing - you're all off the hook

Cultures do value things differently - the experience of animals, the experience of outsiders to the culture...

10. "...to honor their local guardian deity, Doan Thuong." Religion, again.

Weren't the commies supposed to crack down on this sort of thing?
