We see no difference between pig eating and dog eating. The degree of objection lies in the methods of rearing, transport and slaughter rather than in the choice of species. The popularity of dog eating is currently increasing at a huge rate - it is evolving rapidly from its traditions as a cottage industry. Now it is no longer a case of a few peasant farmers breeding a bitch once a year and taking the grown puppies to the market for a little extra pocket money. Huge dog farms are being set up using modern scientific factory farming methods. [~snip~] There are currently strong campaigns proceeding against the use of St Bernard dogs for food and against dog eating in Korea where the methods of killing are egregious. These campaigns are a good way to start to tackle the more general problem of dog eating. [And dog eating is a good way to start to tackle the more general problem of the eating of non-human animals]. Unfortunately, much of the anti-dog meat campaigning is tainted by racism - as, indeed, is the resistance to the anti-dog meat campaigning. ... Notice that the AAPN is only against the eating of "non-human animals." |

I just called out the dumb jokes on stereotyping the Chinese to make that mutt into some platter.
Yes, some Asians eat dogs. I do not eat dogs myself neither does my family. So I don't like it when those jokes come around because in America it is unacceptable to eat dogs and that's why those jokes are made. It is looked down on, and I wish not to be looked down on. Not all Asians eat dogs, some do, but not all and I just don't like those jokes. |

This appears to be what was dry ground for the dogs, prior to the flood.
The Changjiang River, also know as the Yangtze, is where the Three Gorges Dam project is being built. This spot in Chongqing city, will be a couple km upstream from the new reservoir. Maybe they'll be Reservoir Dogs.

@Chronic: You know what, funny guy? My wife is chinese.
So don't try to explain the world to me. Chinese eat really strange stuff, and I eat whatever I get served. I once ate chicken feet to impress my parents-in-law. |

fresh is the grand poobah of all that is cultural bias and when it is acceptable and when it is not. The sooner you all realize that, the sooner we can live in perfect harmony.

Yeah gang up, gang up it's so fun when it's 10 against one.
Sorry for having an opposing viewpoint. Sorry for being offended at the jokes. I mean Dagney got all uppity about some jokes a coupla months ago and she up and left and everyone grieved and I say that one little sarcastic comment and everyone can tell me I'm a douchebag? Ok. Just after reading the Ibram and Merc Identity thread, can't all of you accept my cultural life experiences? You all know nothing about anything I've experienced directly so please think before you tell me how I should feel about related issues. Here let me say this controversial statement: I will never listen to "this is how you should feel about race" advice from white people in America. Because frankly if you are not white then you have no idea what a minority's privileges are. Please, read here. http://whiteprivilege.com/definition/ Here's another one, see the "Daily effects of white privilege" subtitle http://seamonkey.ed.asu.edu/~mcisaac...Unpacking.html Another one. http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_tol.jsp?id=722 White privilege definitely exists as much as Flint or anyone will try to say it doesn't. So when I tell you all to "Shut the fuck up" when telling me how to feel about racial issues, just deal with it, right Bruce? Last edited by freshnesschronic; 08-04-2007 at 08:29 AM. |
