Bad Luck, black cat

[Sewer Bull]

And I thought Raph's Girl's position in this section was beyond any competition.

*shrugs* what can i say....I'm at work and I'm bored again....and news ((and by some miracle of GOD this place)) sites are the only things my company does not block.

*gets down on my knees and prays that my repetitive signing in does not cause the man to block this site*

And.....you wouldn't believe how close i came to putting "I swear I'm not trying to be Raph's Girl" at the bottom of my post


I'll be quiet...I promise

Nay, don't mind me. If the fellow Dromers wish to discuss such a major issue of international concern as a 11-month black kitten stuck in a building in NY, then it means you're doing a fine job, Katie.

I suppose the real issue here is whether or not a historic building should be destroyed to save a cat. My thoughts...no, The cat will come out on its own.

so anyway.....That's what I think. *runs away*

[Sewer Bull]

Ha! So in fact you posted a really interesting matter to discuss which you just didn't emphasize well. I thought it was all about the poor cat you wanted to focus on, not the moral concerns of what is better to preserve - an inanimate old building of historical value or a living sentient being. I like that topic, then. Alas, I share your point of view, so there won't be much of discussion from my side.

BTW - you shouldn't run away, you do no harm to anyone here.

see, That's the beauty of some of these little stories....they have social issues disguised by some sappy shallow something.

we got the issue in this story...*looks back at the other little stories here*

We have: The willingness of corporations to substitute robots (automation) for low skill employees (which would create an even bigger gap in the social classes if the jobs for the working poor are eliminated in favor of cheaper solutions)

a story that highlights the shortfalls of the press in checking their sources before running a story (therefore creating situatuions in which they later have to explain how they could have gotten things wrong *political stuff omitted *)

the encroachment of modern life into seemingly unspoiled native land...(Will this ultimately mean the end of their traditions and way of life as it did with my ancestors as the white settlers moved west? Will they assimilate? )

We have the ugly reality of a society who discounts the knowledge and cognitive skills of a child and this ends in tragedy

we have the story of a young man who was killed because he had to "be seen" in areas where his fan base gathered and who was killed for his perceived actions without regard for the good that he did in the community..thus highlighting the disparity in lifestyle experienced by successful rappers to any other successful person who came from "Poor" backgrounds.

There's always SOME issue that can be brought forth.....I'm just one who likes to see if it is discovered. If the people wanna eat cake, so be it...pooooor kitty in the wall. If they want steak, well....I'll just wait to see if i should serve it or not
