wtf it had a jug on its head tranq it and pull it off don't kill it, the bear went to the city to find someone who would help him. Like the lion with the thorn in its foot.

That was like saddest possible news story, thread fails to deliver.

Also my dog a newfoundland looks like a bear and I fear people will shoot him when we got camping.

Uh, yeah. What's wrong with tranquilizing it, taking the jug off and putting it back in the woods. I don't get why they had to kill it.

So I was at this bar last night and was telling this story to my friend as if my friend was the kid so I started it "so imagine you're sitting there listening to your ipod..." Some chick made me stop somewhere around "so he's swinging your head around in one hand while eating your arm and trying to break out of the bus with his knife..." What ever happened to conversation?

I mean I get the principles behind it but it is a restrictions on our freedoms as Americans.

However, if these are government subsidized low income housing they should be able to restrict whatever type of business builds in their area.

Not to pick on you spenda, but I kinda found your American freedom comment amusing

Here's just a small recent example as to why:

And obviously always present {from the article}

Interesting events happened at my campus today.

There have been some protests regarding experiments done on animals lately at UCSC (which I attend). Last school year some of the scientists' homes were invaded by people with ski masks and they were threated. If I remember correctly they broke some stuff in the house during the process.

Earlier today a car of one of the scientists was fire bombed with something similar to napalm. The house of another scientist was also bombed in a similar fashion.

The car was completely destroyed.

like i said, they must command egregious misunderstandings with related issues in order espouse their position.

fruit flies have super poor memories. not to mention many other factors that basically make them being experimented on harmless.

Yea. The thing that blows my mind is that they will endanger human lives, the most advanced animal of all, to protect mice and flies. WHAT!?
