At the very least, a human would need a high-quality magnifier and very tiny tweezers. Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
that was a baaaad pun.

Is there any other?

There are bad puns, and then there are baaaad puns.

Are you making a sheep pun Jon Boy? Considering the story, perhaps thats a little disrespectful of the farm animal community...

I was just going to say that.

This thought just occurred to me:
When Papa Moose gets back, will he really be relieved this thread isn't about onanism? Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
That's a good question.

The sad thing is, I read an article somewhere justifying bestiality as a way to "show love" to animals.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
Well, for awhile, Peter Singer got people distracted from talking about his proposals on infanticide and other stuff when he published a review and commentary on a book on bestiality.
I'll link to the review, but it deserves a foul language and general disgust alert for people who prefer not to read things that fall outside of acceptable terminology. Some of the language and most of the content will be unacceptably offensive to some people.
To be fair to Singer, though, his thoughts on this are probably not to far afield from other secular bioethicists. About 2 years before this article came out, I was on a very quite email list devoted to medical ethics issues. Someone brought up this topic and the list dang near exploded. Many were making the same case Singer makes in this review article.
Doesn't make his views on this mainstream for bioethics, but I don't know if they're exactly extreme, either.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Mainstream or off-base or whatever, I still think the argument is totally bogus.
But that's just me.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yeah. Also, many of those examples he cites are being used in a way they weren't intended.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
Annie - agreed.
KQ - Good points. And those types of maneuvers are not unusual for Singer.
And I don't agree with the article, either.
I just didn't want to necessarily single Singer out. Although he seems to revel at that aspect of reaction to his work at least as much as he objects to it.
In other words, he's not the epitome of evil, he's just the tip of the iceberg made visible. Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
Wow, my midwife and a good friend live in Enumclaw, and everyone knows everyone there. I bet they know him.

*bites tongue and hits typing fingers - hard, to prevent the replies to romanylass's post that want to come out*
Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
Oh, come on, say it.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Everyone knows all the animals there too, apparently.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
So, romanylass...
Does your midwife assist when your pets are due for delivery?
Does your midwife double as a vet?
Does your midwife moonlight in animal husbandry?
Does your midwife make barn-calls?
*stops*

Wow. I just assumed it was illegal everywhere.

I was going to say, as long as she's been practicing there's a good chance she delivered this guy, but I figured someone would twist it.
I was also going to say my friend used to work as a waitress and probably served him, but......
