“this is british article”. What, because there are only white people in Britain. Also, could you not learn how to write coherently before you spew forth over everyone.

So basically another travesty of a celebration hijacked by Americans in order to further demonstrate the immaturity of their relationship with alcohol, ala St. Patrick's day?

It was actually mostly the BBC that brought you those shows.

He's not before parliament, he's before a committee. And in any case, why should he wear a suit?

OK fine. In that case don't put it under a massive banner that says 'SPORTS'.

You do realise this isn't real, right? And besides, lucha libre is far more athletically entertaining.

Except atheists never tried to impose their beliefs on others, never killed people in the name of what they believe in, never started wars, never treated whole swathes of the public as scum.

Impulse buyers are those who are buying from breeders, where it is much easier to get a dog. If you go to a shelter there are numerous background checks and waiting periods to go through.

I've met plenty of dogs who are affectionate, highly intelligent, energetic and small. That describes a whole multitude of dogs, not just Shetland Sheepdogs. They might have specifically been bred to be that way yes - through incest and genetic mutation. Hardly a desirable way of going about acquiring those characteristics.

If someone really wanted a chimp or a tiger or some other endangered animal whose procurement resulted in the mistreatment of a whole range of individual animals, would that be just as acceptable? Should I not try to shame those people for supporting a terrible industry.

The bottom line is that thousands of strays and rescue dogs are put down every year because homes cannot be found for them. If you are in a position to help one of those but choose not to for your own (I would say) selfish reasons, then that is your lookout.
