I think I'd prefer someplace like Montana; a nice, quiet, sparsely populated red state that you hardly ever hear a peep out of.

Do you promise?

I saw this movie...didn't end well for humanity.

Haha so did I......

But what I want to know is your thoughts on this. Do you think it's a wise thing that governments are experimenting with weaponized A.I. and tinkering with the idea of deploying these weapons in the field to save the lives of using human soldiers?

Getting back to the Dallas issue. I just found out that the `993 Miss Black Alabama (sorry but why have a separate ms black anything when there's plenty of blacks in ms America etc), is in the news for PRAISING the Dallas shooter, calling him a Martyr, and saying its hard to be sad about the lost cops (and civilians) lives.

And the sickest (IMO) part of it all is supposedly many commenters on her video are actually Congratulating her for saying this!??? What the heck over..

You can bet, if a Ms white anything had said the same thing after Dillan Roof shot up that church in Charleston, there would have been hell to pay, and NO one would be complementing her video..

I took a look at that first article and she knows it's not right to feel the way she feels -- the woman is conflicted - can you blame her?

She's not saying Johnson's a martyr and good riddance to the dead cops - revenge is sweet.
She's saying she knows she shouldn't feel this way but she can't help it in light of how many blacks get shot or mistreated.

One thing the BLM folks are overlooking that I am reminded of this morning as I hear there has been a 2nd inner city killing in as many days... The biggest threat to young black males is other young black males.
Why aren't they getting bent out of shape over all the black-on-black violence, which claims more victims than anything else?

Or do black lives matter only when whites can be blamed?

[Gatefan1976]

Their concern is Cop on black violence, not ALL violence, just like breast cancer organizations are focussed on breast cancer, not all cancer. Such a distinction seems to be beyond you.

This is totally off-topic, but pisses me off no end.

Man accused of cooking cat in oven

BATAVIA, NY - A Batavia man is facing charges after he allegedly cooked a cat in the oven.

Firefighters were called to an apartment on East Main Street just after 9:00 p.m. Monday for a smoke alarm activation. When they entered the smoky apartment, they discovered a deceased cat in the oven.

The resident, Darren Annovi, was arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty. He was remanded to the Genesee County Jail until his next court appearance on Wednesday.

(other media reports of this say the cat was alive when it was placed in the oven.)


How can someone do this?
If convicted, they ought to do the same thing to him.

Poor cat...

I can only hope he gets the punishment he deserves and will be a registered animal offender so he can never have pets again (if it even was his own cat to begin with).

[Gatefan1976]

Did you know that using cats for food is legal in most US states?
Dude wouldn't even be charged for Par boiling a kitteh.
Which is more shocking?

until a few years ago, pigs could be fed pig and cows could be fed cow. Don't ask what's in catfood, because the answer may very well be cat.

If he gets the punishment he deserves, exactly what he did to that poor cat, he'd be dead, so we won't have to worry about him getting pets again.

[Annoyed]

Yes, I know, in other cultures and even in our own. animals are sometimes used as food.

But this is a different situation. The poor thing was a pet, who had probably been taught or learned to trust its human owner, just as my cats trust me even if they don't like what I'm doing at the moment.
The betrayal that animal must have felt as it was dying at the hands of it's owner must have been horrible. To me, that is the real crime, the betrayal of a trust that is not given easily.
And don't bother trying to tell me that animals don't feel emotions. They do.

They can be sad alright... and happy.
