All forms of animal racing should be more strictly monitored, but not banned. I've been to a few amateur races, and at all of them the dogs were friendly and well-treated.

I forgot to add that when they're "put down" that usually doesn't even mean humanely. Some are beaten and left to die, many are shot. Many have their ears cut off so the owners can't be IDed easily. There was one newspaper article that I read a few years back that sticks out in my mind. A greyhound had it's ears cut off, was shot in the head, bruises from being beaten and it's jaw was completely broken and dislocated. This dog was just left somewhere, the owner believed the dog was dead. The dog was not however and had to suffer through that pain before being humanely euthanized.

They may have been well-treated at the races, but they're not treated well otherwise. They live in crates too small for them for almost the entire day only taken out for training and races. They're fed poorly if at all. Diseases run wild in the places they're kept. They have no interaction with people other than when they're trained. Many are abused by those people. Plus when they're deemed unfit for racing between 2 and 4 many are put down when they could live a happy live with a family. Puppies are also put down if it doesn't seem like they'll be a good racer before they even have a chance at life. The puppies that do make it to adulthood don't have their "puppyhood."

The reason so many preople today are athiests is because as a child, religion was forced down their throats either by school or parents or both. amirite?

I actually used to enjoy Sunday School and going to church with my mom. I realize now though that I liked the arts and crafts of Sunday school and I just liked spending time with my mom.

I just never believed anything that I was told at either. Even at a very young age when you're very impressionable I found everything I was told hard to believe.

What's with all the blind people wearing sunglasses? It's not like the sun is bothering you... amirite?

Since people with blindness are unable to see, they won't blink or squint at sunlight which can burn their eyes. The sunglasses protect that from happening.
My one professor who is blind also wears them because she has uncontrollable eye moment. It can make some people uncomfortable, so wearing sunglasses is a way to make others feel at ease. Sometimes she would even wear them in class.

It also has become an identifier of blindness which can help people driving be aware of someone who has blindness is crossing the street.

My favorite movie.

Yesterday I realized that this was happening to me, but there was no way I was going to say it better than this.

It's stupid how gay marriage is known as gay marriage and not just "Marriage". Just because you have lunch doesn't mean you have 'gay lunch'. Just because you park your car doesn't mean you 'gay parked', amirite?

I'm an atheist and I just want to enlighten you. Not all atheists are opposed to religion. Actually, most of the ones I know are supportive of religion or at least don't go bashing it to give it a bad name.

I'm fully supportive of rights of all people, including gay people and yes, including Christians. I may not have the same beliefs as a Christian, but I will never bash them for their beliefs. I just simply disagree.

(Chauncy Pickles): The US and Israel were both created by taking land away from natives. All that in is the past now, present day Israelis have the right to live there. I do see the muslims as the victims here and I understand their anger, but it doesnt mean Israel should cease to exist.

Israel was created in 1948 as a result of the Zionist movement being strengthened by WWII and the Holocaust. We have survivors of both still alive and many of the Palestinians who were displaced from their land are still alive. Therefore, it is not in the past. Btw, Muslims aren't victims. Palestinians are victims. Not all Palestinians are Muslim.

"it doesnt mean Israel should cease to exist." Well what about Palestine? Palestine has MORE of a right to exist.
