yes bulls still get nose rings but it may save your ass at some point

I am well aware of what they do on farms. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin that was part of a mulit-farm co-op. Granted, it was dairy and not a ranch - but, branding still happened.

Just the point is the cute factor...

How can you say piercings are abuse on said kitteh - but it's not abuse on a calf? Oh, because the calf has it done for commercial reasons. So, it doesn't abuse the calf.

Do you think cows and cats have the same emotional capacity?

Well, he's really my stepson...I just never look at him that way, so I didn't have a choice. He's "cut"...but it looks like they kinda fucked it up and only did like a half circ or something...I hope it works itself out.

Now on that same subject I'll get a little personal here and admit that I'm not cut. Its never been a problem and never will be. I think there's a lot of untrue propaganda and research out there in favor of it.

Yes, if you don't shower for a week and you're not cut...well you may get a fungus down there. But wash your dick and it'll never be a problem. Hell, I even had unprotected sex a dozen times with a girl that had Chlamydia...and I didn't get it.

When I do have a son I don't *think* I'll have him circ'ed.

Cool.

I never realized he was a step-child. I think that says a lot about the relationship that you have.

I didn't need to know all about your cock but thanks for the insight.

Its also large and bulky...but I consider it a carry-on.

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

Awwwwww, eHug...

Josh, I don't actually care if one has emotional abilities and the other doesn't. I'm talking about the lack of consistency that is so prevalent in our world. I can have my daughter's ears pierced at birth... but, that's not abuse. That's "pretty".

Yea I hear you. I'm not advocating any type of animal mistreatment, even of the animals that will eventually end up in our bellies. Mass farming is disgusting, and if you've ever been to a commercial cattle ranch it will make you never want to eat beef from the smell alone. Goddamn its sick.

But, piercing a child's ears vs. piercing a cats is different because 99% of all women will choose to get their ears pierced at some point anyway...where as a cat will not. And then there are the issues of making the cat always feel submission or throwing her balance off with the piercings whereas piercing a human's ears has no functional effect.

OK, let's take this a step farther.

It is accepted in our society to pierce our daughters ears when they are young... as decoration. The Chinese will not - if just because of their understanding of accupuncture. Through this study one can come to understand there are points and nerve endings in the ears [as well as other places around your body] that effect other senses and functions in our bodies. Slice through one of those, and it might adversly effect your vision, sense of smell, blood pressure or ability to digest foods properly.

Are you SURE it doesn't effect anything?

No, I'm not sure, and that's a really good point. It might also explain why American women are so fucked up!

I wouldn't pierce my daughter's ears BTW.
