You are right here. And I would never do it. It's repulsive and not part of my "society" at all. InGENERAL (not aimed at Mikey T.) Many people around the world have much different ideas about what is "acceptable" and we should not block ourselves off from learning about these cultures or practices. Do we have to accept it and do it ourselves? Well hell no. I'd never eat horse, or dog, or make a handbag out of a cat ... But I AM curious about the world around me, and whilst I may not leave my property line for long periods of time, I do take the time to learn how other people live and to gather knowledge from where I can get it. Closing yourself off to the various customs and ways of the world is why foreigners think Americans live with Blinders on. Cheers, Erika P.S. I don't know if I believe the site - but even still, the above applies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Dreamweaver with Homesite Plus from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=54 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145203 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
