There will never be "human rights" or "freedom" or any of that elevated nonsense, There is no point in trying to "educate" them, and I'm not saying this from an elitist point of view.<br /><br />Primitive folk exist and we have no right to try to bring them into our world. But theirs is often brutal and without mercy.<br /><br />It's always been that way with humanity -- it always will be.ChefNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506706291656673082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-29219168625041015992010-10-12T10:26:30.600-04:002010-10-12T10:26:30.600-04:00Anyone who hits a child should be killed on the sp...Anyone who hits a child should be killed on the spot.

Nor was a U.S. father taking the kite given to his daughter and giving it to his son. <br /><br />They don't think like us. In a deep, deep, deep way, they don't look at the world the way we do. And we are stupid beyond words to think that they ever possibly might, in the smallest way.Talley Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362055098735800484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-55693610372089623902010-09-26T21:32:56.157-04:002010-09-26T21:32:56.157-04:00Why are we so bad at things like this?Why are we so bad at things like this?Grammarian@mindspring.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579194551324905130noreply@blogger.com
