childspeak??

I was watching TV when a promo from the local RSPCA came on. It said 40% of pets were obese, and from now on they could prosecute anyone who had an obese pet for animal cruelty.

I thought it was fair enough, and decided to take my dog for 2 walks a day instead of only 1.

But then I realised there was no legislation where I live for parents with obese children. Half the kids in my area are fat, and every second one I see is eating McDonalds, drinking Coke or sucking on ice cream cones.

It suddenly seemed crazy that I could be prosecuted if I allowed my pet to become fat, but my kids could be morbidly obese and the law can't touch me.

Is this a case of "You wouldn't do it to a dog ..."?

What do other people think?

Is the DNC just trying to convince their base that freedom is a guaranteed handout that is totally free? Did the founding fathers believe this?

Global warming is a fact only the ignorant and blindly greedy deny. Pollution is spoiling the natural beauty of this world. Over-consumption by a ballooning population is eliminating species on land and in the sea. Fossil fuel consumption is driving pollution and global warming. Yet conservatives are clearly the pawn of the oil industry, which outright owns the Republican party in America, and stand in opposition to rational population control programs, such as condom usage and planned parenthood.

Can these vital problems be solved, the planet healed and humanity saved without first getting conservatives out of power in all nations?

Do liberals understand the idea of "freedom of speech" and "freedom of religion", or do they just understand "freedom from religion"? It seems that they think they have the "freedom from speech" of rightwingers that make them look like asinine (like Ann Coulter, Limbaugh, and Fox News)

Or is it taking us out of the Clinton recession? Is it because he refers to God and not Mother Earth?

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Democrats would vote against Bush, even if HItler were on the ballot. Is this smart, or is this the work of fools that are filled with hate?

Driving his 1984 Ford Escort, doors rusted out with a "I love Bush" bumper sticker on the back.

I don't get it. what has Bush done for you? I make $500,000.00 per year. People like me should love Bush -- not people without a pot to piss in

How have the conservatives bamboozled the south?? Seriously, I'd like to know.

It seems like to me that they love to wink at Islamofascism. Is there a pact somewhere, liberals? Is Hezbollah looking forward to the Next Moore film?
