Well, I definitely side with animals when they fall on the wrong end of a child's affections. Children should be separated from animals until they are old enough to respect the animal.

Usually because the child acts old enough, and when you talk to her/him/it, they can verbalize concept like "respect" and "being nice to animals." I've seen toddlers who respected animals enough that I'd be comfortable with them together; I've seen teenagers I wouldn't let touch a stuffed animal, much less a real one.

Ravenshire Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Meanwhile, in the alternate reality DinoWorld ..."Let me get this straight ... GreenWar is suing me because they broke into my Utahraptor pens and while attempting to free the clearly-labelled, dangerous carnivores, got eaten, so they are holding me responsible for their lost members .... no pun intended?"Man, I'd settle just so I could sell the OpNet feed of the break-in.

Alptraum Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Civility is the armor of those who are weak and womanly. They must not offend or else be rent asunder by the strong.If you cannot stand the occasional insult you should slit your wrists and let your body fall into a garden. Then you would at least serve some purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 And what about those of us who happen to be female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Light Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think that was an insult too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I disagree. Civility is the privilege, the courtesy, of those who no longer need to fight. One of the founding fathers of the United States said, "I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain." Just because we're trying to move beyond hatred and violence, it doesn't make us weak. It means that we're trying to make the world a better place for each other and for those who follow us.
