Warren Jeffs should be locked up! Stop the crazy!!!!

Bears are attacking their own now?!?

And I hear radio evangelist doomsayer, Harold Camping, says the World's Last Day THIS time is supposedly this Friday. Buy your LOTTO tickets NOW!!!
Well, at least I've enjoyed one really good meal over the last three days....
and I'll be laughing my ass off--AGAIN!!----if I wake up on Saturday morning and all---SURPRISE!!!---is still well.

The King of Thailand is a HUUUUGE jackass!! Suck on a soggy Bangcock. Pray the scams away. Maybe mama bear found out that humans get away with it all the time. @1 jeffs is in for life.

@2 freesandbags: Thanks for the clarification about insaniac Jeffs. I missed that part. But get the escapee and the other 85 wives outta that nutcase community altogether!!
I'll bet mama bear's pissed that they've lost most of their natural habitat to humans, too.

@1 Animals in captivity are notorious for mistreating their young. Zoo animals are by & large neurotic, if not totally crazy. Captivity does that to you. Enjoy your next visit to the animal prison. Uh, I mean zoo.

@4: I agree---I'm all for wildlife staying wild. Unfortunately, a lot of it is taken up by humans. Deer are getting hit by cars on I-5 and in the neighborhood where I live. It's sad.

I think the bear's life is so miserable, that it doesn't want to inflict that on it's young. It would rather see them dead.

It's time for Zoos to go the way of VHS. We can get a much better view of an animal on digital media, in it's own habitat and without robbing it of it's life. The scientific purposes zoos serve can be folded into University programs, and the spectacle should be let go.

@6: Agreed! Although I remember enjoying visiting Woodland Park Zoo as a child (always a fan of the big cats), and later, the San Diego Zoo while in the navy, you make some very good points, too. Keep wildlife wild!!

Yesterday, a hungry young buck came ambling down a side street alleyway, into the parking lot of our apartment complex, salivating over the landscaping. Urban deer walk amongst us humans now.

If you know something is illegal in a particular country, and you do it anyway, why are we supposed to have sympathy for you? Granted, you sometimes have to break laws to get them changed, but you'd better have more people behind you that just hoping the government of your other residential country will step in. Much like the teen who was to be caned for painting graffiti and expected his government to go into a foreign country and basically say, "you can't do that to one of OUR citizens", I can see why other countries don't like Americans...they think they can just go anywhere, and only America's rules and laws apply to them, and they are not beholden to anyone else's laws.

Did anyone notice upon waking up this morning, on Saturday, October 22nd, that the world DIDN'T end??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAWWW!!!!

So much for radio evangelist, Reverend Camping's prediction about the world ending on May--OOPS!!---mmmppphhh!!!---"Friday, October 21st, 2011---leave your worldly possessions at the door."
I wonder what this old guy's next media-hyped "World Will End" doomsday prediction will be? April 1, 2012 gets my vote.

Did anyone see the much more likely meteor shower yesterday?

Please wait...
