Note: I will review Eragon in due time, as promised. But first...
Anybody see the guy in the Library Mall today handing out flyers saying "Pamphlet against animal cruelty?" I kinda had the urge to pimp-slap that asswad as I walked past. First, he had the most effeminate voice I've ever heard on a man. As far as I'm concerned, whether man or woman, gay or straight, hippie or human being, you speak with that lilting high-pitch and ridiculous lisp, I have every right to ridicule you.
Beyond that, animal cruelty is not a major concern for me. I mean, sure, I cannot abide cruel animals. I hate it when animals attack people for no reason, like Utah and his raccoons. I don't like when the kitty attempts to take my goddamned pot pie. But you know what? I take it like a man, walk it off, and smack kitty in the face, saying "No kitty, that's a bad kitty!!"
So instead of going out onto library mall with your ponytail, girly voice, and "my other tank top is also a purple sequins tank top" sticker, complaining about your lack of control over the animal kingdom, break off a strip and take back your own pot pie.

I totally saw that guy! He was a completely douche! What was really funny was that his demeanor, voice, and body language suggested that he was completely phoning it in. I almost took one of the pamphlets just cause I felt sorry for him. But then he did that "pamphlet against? annimal croooooolteeeeeeeee" thing again, and I was done. What an ass hat.
I saw him but he didn't bother me at all. People's voices, appearance, and mannerisms don't bother me unless they physically infringe on my personal space (i.e. close talkers, what is UP with them?!?).
Maybe he was phoning it in - he might get paid to distribute the flyers.
Elise,
I can't believe you would deem it appropriate to pass judgment on the close talkers. Close talkers are people, too, and I think it's important that we recognize the contribution close talkers have made to our society. For example, did you know that the great emancipater himself, Abe Lincoln, was a close talker? So were Ghandi, Winston Churchill, and Susan B. Anthony.
Also, it's horribly culturally insensitive of you to judge someone just because of their proximity when speaking to you. In certain tribal societies, close talking is considered a sign of respect. In one tribe, it's not uncommon for the elders to be so respected that the only acceptable way to talk to them is to literally have your lips touch theirs as you speak. It would be considered incredibly rude not to do so.
So you see, Elise, there's absolutely no reason to ever judge anyone for anything that they choose (or don't choose) to do (or not do, if ever).
What? Your glass house has a nice sheen to it, sir.
I don't believe we should honor the achievements of close talkers until we finally recognize the contributions to society brought by body-painting fans of the New Jersey Devils.
Though I haven't seen him in awhile, I also enjoy the guy who preaches the gospel and his pitch changes with every third word, like he gets hit in the nuts after every two normal words he says and then the next one just squeaks out. I'd like to cack that guy for the sake of contributing to his inability to speak like a human.
"So you see, Elise, there's absolutely no reason to ever judge anyone for anything that they choose (or don't choose) to do (or not do, if ever)."
So true...so true...
Unlike you all, I actually took one of the pamphlets as I was hurrying past his outstretched hands.
I "learned" the following:
"If everyone just cut their mear consumption in half, billions of animals would be apared from suffering"
Yes. Tell that to the starving kids in Africa. You there, only eat half of that.
"I think everyone has that capacity to stop and think and say, 'If I knew you, I wouldn't eat you.'"
Yes I would. And I don't care how they live or die either, as long as the meat still tastes good. I'm eating it, not keeping it as a pet. Though, admittedly, sometimes my steak is still bloody enough that I could walk it and teach it tricks.
An example of faulty logic:
"I think everyone has that capacity to stop and think and say, 'If I knew you, I wouldn't eat you.'"
On the contrary, if I stopped and got to know more people, I would probably be more inclined to kill and eat them. The one thing saving most people from an unfortunate death and barbequing is that I don't know them, and I don't have to trouble myself to know them.
"Yes. Tell that to the starving kids in Africa. You there, only eat half of that".
Okay so what do the starving kids in Africa have to do with this! Please reply I wanna here what you mean by this!
I think the starving children in Africa came in through a facetious interpretation of "if everyone cut their meat consumption in half," because starving African children are technically included in the category of "everyone," and if so, we probably shouldn't be asking them to cut their meat consumption in half.
Or, Mr. Lomax just hates Africans.
Personally, I think this whole discussion just shows how exploited these children are, and primarily in guilt-inducing hyperbole.
