@doubar: Have you visited a slaughter house? Eww, no. I know I'm being inconsequent there - eating meat and despising what they do there at the same time - but that's something I never ever want to see in my life. I can deal with the raw flesh, but not with those frightened eyes, those screams right before they shoot the bolt into their heads. That's cruel. But worse I think are the transports and in many cases the conditions under which the animals are being raised. It's insane. *sighs* But enough of that. I am in no position to rail against that. |

Firouz: I know Michael Moore is kinda controversial and one sided and stuff, but I greatly enjoyed „Stupid White men“. Particularly that one chapter which mostly went along the lines of “Hey, dude, did you ever notice how there are less boys born than girls these times? That´s cause nature is trying to have men die out since men harm the planet most.” And then he goes along satirically and there was this one hilarious passage about male and female anatomy. That was where I totally cracked up. I´m looking for it on the net right now. ;D

@doubar: Well, you are going to hear a lot more screaming if you become a nurse. And children do scream at the doctor's office, too.
@sinbad: Oh, I like Michael Moore. ;D

@firouz: Ah well, let them scream. I don't care. I mean, at least I am helping them ... or try to. It's not like I'm going to slaughter them ... although they sometimes might act like I would. xD

I found the passage I was referring to: ;D ;D
From "StupidWhite Men chapte 7: The end of men"
It is my belief—and this is purely from my personal observation of the woman I live with—that when God was creating the world, he spent the better part of Day Six creating what women would look like. I mean, you can’t help but notice the skillful craft of an artisan at the top of His field. The shapes, the curves, the symmetry, all constitute extraordinary art. Their skin is soft and smooth and perfect; their hair is rich and thick and vibrant. I am not speaking from a prurient perspective here—these are simply the conclusions of the art critic in me. Women—I think we all agree—are stunningly beautiful. So what happened to God when it came to usP It’s like he used up all his best tricks inventing women. By the time he got to us, he was obviously ready to get it over with, move on to something more important, like that seventh day of rest. So men ended up like Chevys, rushed off the assembly line and guaranteed to break down after limited use. That’s why we try to stay in our Naugahyde recliners as long as we can—the exertion required to pick up after ourselves can
lead to an early coronary. Our bodies were built to lift, carry, haul, and throw, but for a limited time only. And, I have to say it, what’s with this extra thing we were given? Well, let me put this as delicately as possible: In God’s rush to finish up, it looks like he just grabbed a stray part he had lying around in the shop and stuck it on us—’cause it sure as hell don’t look right. If you took an item like this and glued it on to a lamppost or a tree, you’d say, “Naww, I don’t think so.” But nobody questions its presence on a guy. Like a creature from Alien reupholstered by Frank Purdue, the male organ is testimony to the fact that every now and again, as with the floods in Bangladesh or the teeth of the British, God just fails to get it right.
