Why does everybody freak out over pigs in S. Korea,

I think people ARE animals.

the 1st earth summit in rio was when it was made official
.

While I would agree old people could absolutely be treated better, I've never seen a million old people being buried alive, have you?

Pigs are known to be even smarter than dogs. This was unbelievably cruel.

On the Korea thread people are saying how terrible it is for the poor pigs, but on another thread it's nothing to read how they wish baby boomers would hurry up and die, so they wouldn't be stuck taking care of them.

It just amazes me how animals are FAR more respected than our own parents and grandparents.

Why is it that people will cry over an animal being harmed and think nothing over an elderly person losing their medical or pension? Not only do they think nothing about it, but they are called all sorts of names and blamed for where we are now.

Don't you find it upsetting?

Most people love animals and hate people. Get it?

PEOPLE ARE EVIL... PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE AND PEOPLE KILL ANIMALS. VERY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS

I'm not saying what was done to the pigs was right, I'm just saying I see retired people being treated like dirt, while the pigs get real tears.

Anyone who would cry over the pigs and tell their elders to drop dead has a serious problem, don't ya think?

I understand where you're coming from, Farmgirl. It's all perspective, really. I have an innate reverence for all life, including pigs and people. The problem is that sometimes the roles seem to get reversed.

Pure spirit is found in animals other than human, in most cases. The human animal has the ability to corrupt and be corrupted. I do see a difference there.

farmergirl, sorry...

Animals kill other animals and sometimes they kill humans too.

Cats will kill birds for fun.

Animals should never be placed above the level of humanity.

but u see - money being spent on caring forthe elderly could be
more profitably spent on killing them -

and then we'd have more money to spend on coming up with ways to kill the rest of them

an that way we'd be relieving the great burden being
placed on the earth's resources
.

Exactly. You see where I'm coming from.

I see all sorts of animal charities advertised on TV, radio, etc. But how many ads do you see supporting our elderly or poor?

If you do see an ad for humans, it is NEVER for Americans.

I know elderly people who own their own homes, but can't afford food. They are neglected. Why is this, when we can afford to send billions of dollars to foreign countries?

Why are we shunning people who raised us and our parents?

because they cant protect themselfs.and they are innocent.and its so many.its a waste.

Yep

i think you are smart

alan watt goes into this in his programmes - it's a soviet-perfected technique of indoctrination - to break
a culture up - because a cohesive culture is the only
thing that can stand up to them
.

They're concerned about their relatives...

Many humans can't defend themselves either. Anytime I hear about an elderly person starving, freezing or dying from neglect, I think it is worse than the pigs.

One human life is worth more than a million pigs.

Thank you! I'm just trying to make people understand true priorities and awaken compassion towards their fellow man.

Sadly, many have forgotten what really matters.

Absolutely! I watched this entire series. It was excellent.

Lol. Good one.

No, I haven't, YET.

That is the purpose of my thread. To prevent something like this happening to humans.

When animals become more important than humans, this could be the case someday.

its normal for old people to die ,if it was a child that staved to death then i would be sad and angery.still sad that an old person stave to death but not as sad if a child was to.

one human life isnt worth more then a million pigs.thats crazy.

and its how the pigs are been killed that upsetting people.its unnessasry.with the old person dieing it all ready happened nothing can be done about it but with the pigs its unfolding before our eyes and they countinue to do this.its not like people put this old man in a house with no food and didnt let him leave to get some and waited for him to die.they didnt throw him in a hole with other old people and prceeded to burry them.tottaly different surcomstansies.

You must like Benjamin Creme.

Plenty can be done about old people going hungry or doing without! On the other hand, NOTHING can be done to save the pigs.

i dont have enough fingers and toes to count the many reasons why pigs could be more important then people.

I beg to differ.

Humans were meant to rule over animals, therefore they will always have more importance.

You are a prime example of what has gone wrong with humanity. I feel sorry for you.
