or ll bean, or True Value, or anywhere. Just remember that in general. But especially when you eat at a Chinese restaurant. Or a Korean restaurant.

Huh? I think those are the most local and typically are US citizens... no?

Koreans eat dog meat. --a joke about that)
and another old joke involves Chinese restaurants serving cat meat to unsuspecting patrons. again, a joke, albeit with poetic license. So to sum it all up, next time you are eating at a Korean or Chinese restaurant think about the picture, not in terms of the perceived cruelty, but of what might be beneath that savory sauce.

Except with chickens battery farmed to the extent major supermarkets can sell them for £2.50 for a whole bird, who would bother to run after kitties?

If you want to worry about what you eat, think about all the male chicks that hatch in the egg producing "industry" and are diverted down the conveyor belt into the high speed grinder. 72 hours old. Live. Every day. Bri - don't search on YouTube.

I'm not taking the moral high ground here. Eating only free-range eggs/ chicken doesn't absolve me of guilt.

Don't ask how I found that.

The link still works, and is current during this Burning Man.

( I know, it's an old post that I'm bumping to the top...I'm bored..)

Fine. See if I ever make a joke again.

When I first moved to China, I was somewhat horrified to see a couple of security guards getting their kicks slowly burning a live rat in a cage-trap over a small fire. Kind of giggling as they moved the rat in and out of the fire.

Mayor of Shekou 08-30-2010 06:58 PM

Sorry to say I am no longer surprised at that sort of thing.

My time spent in Asia taught me that Asian culture is alien to western culture. I'm sure there are things we do here that make asians sick also. Who's to judge which culture is right or wrong?

By the way they treat their people.

WTF is in the sky at 0:28, 0:31, and 1:03? Some sort of Hindu deity?

Quote:

he two most common forms of Shiva's dance are the Lasya (the gentle form of dance), associated with the creation of the world, and the Tandava (the violent and dangerous dance), associated with the destruction of weary worldviews - weary perspectives & lifestyles. In essence, the Lasya and the Tandava are just two aspects of Shiva's nature; for he destroys in order to create, tearing down to build again[
Probably makes sense in the context of the film, undoubtedly the story line relates to a broader concept. From what I have seen (at a distance) of the culture, its spiritual dimension, gods and all, is alive and well.

For the life of me I cannot find the link to where I found these, they had several more that weren't quite as weird.

1st: Thorazine; 2nd: Pakistan Int'l Airlines (prophetic, don't you think?); 3rd: No f'ing clue.
