n.b.

From the Urban Dictionary:

beer goggles: phenomenon in which one''s consumption of alcohol makes physically unattractive persons appear beautiful; summed up by the phrase, "there are no ugly women at closing time." ["When I took her to bed, she looked like Halle Berry. When I woke up, she looked like Keith Richards!"]

These boards are interesting because people on them are so new to the Internet sometimes, and aren''t familar with trolls. A troll is a person with something broken inside, where they like seeing other people get angry - not so different from Vick and others who like dogfighting enjoying watching animals tortured for their enjoyment.

For a pretty pure statement of their intent - "I was only playing devil''s advocate to see you people get all riled up and make idiotic, out of proprtion statements like I should go to hell or something because I do not agree with your opinions. " - here it is. It''s a juvenile little power play - they feel good by making people riled up. Dumb, but there you are. Ignoring them is the thing they hate the most, not letting them control the debate and make it all about them to feed their little ego - that''s how you stop encouraging the troll - and have a real debate, real discussion, rather than a bunch of personal junk.

The topic is Vick, and dogfighting, and I hope to see him get plenty of time, I don''t expect to ever see him play football again, and I love hearing about all those Vick jerseys being sent to animal shelters, so they can be used to clean up dog kennels, wipe out dogcrap.

"The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it."

A severe case of "beer goggles" --

The girls are always prettier at closing time... But you really have to down a few, to mistake Masha and Misha for beautiful girls...

NO DaveGF, Humans don''t eat meat because of the way it taste. Humans eat meat because if gives the human body certain nutrients not found in veggies. The good taste is a bonus.

And if you want to go as far as killing living things, then you shouldn''t eat veggies either, plants are living things also. The are pulled or cut then boiled in most cases for humans to eat, so if your going to fight for animals fight for the plants to....

Good grief.

Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans."

Best thing to do is share your beer with the bears.
Falcons are a different story.

It would be nice to see some constructive dialogue now and then on the various articles rather than the hateful rhetoric that seems to be the norm.

"Bears kill and eat other animals because nature and evolution has designed them to do so..."

Michael Vick is a Falcon, not a Bear.

Speaking of bears...

"Monday August 20, 09:18 PM

Serb man mauled to death by bears

A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage.

Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.

"There''s a good chance he was drunk or drugged. [the guy was naked in the bear cage during a beer fest... DUH...] Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.

Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans."

redhoffer, I never said anything about a woman being gang raped. "Gang bang". You know, a girl who has *** with multiple men for fun, and then claims rape. It happens.

You conveniently missed my statement that I''d do anything to stop a woman form being raped, regardless of the consequences.

Dave , the reason other animals eat flesh is because they like the way it tastes also.
