Well, I am Middle Eastern...I'd be shocked if I was harassed. One thing you should do is not make yourself stand out if you're not from there.

Also, I don't always have the kindest experiences there. Worst moment was when some IDF soldiers(about 10ish) came to arrest some teenager boy. Forgot what he did, but the soldiers thought throwing tear gas and shooting rubber bullets wildly was the right thing to do. 

I even had a family member be beaten up senseless by some IDF soldiers for being in a protest. Some disgusting stuff happens there. When I see people complaining about police in America, a lot of people don't realize that America's police are thousands of times better than the policemen in third world countries

Americans have all the right to complain about their police. What you have experimented is extreme but does not invalid what others suffer too. I'm from a third world country too and here the police are useless most of the time, I actually wish sometimes that they had more freedom to arrest people and gain more respect since almost no one actually take them seriously. It's a shame really.

 

OT: I have a cat and she is the laziest animal I've ever seen. She likes to sleep all day and eat, that's it. I sometimes have to "force" her to get her out to the garden and run or just play with her because the vet told me to do so. She chose us too, to put it in a way, I was going to buy smth when she run into my house and never left.

They have the right to complain. Not like I can force people to not complain. I simply dislike how some Americans exaggerate all of their issues. 

 

Also, have you tried giving toys to your cat? Perhaps that'll make it move.

eh people always esaggerate things. It's their reality tho and no one has the right to tell them if their issues are more important or not compared to others. Altho some people do the most indeed.

 

She has so many toys but she doesn't use them. Like I said I sometimes have to annoy her with them so she will at least 'play' with them out of anger. She wouldn't survive a week by herself, I like to think she is happy. 



I find that the people who should have the most problems with that concept usually deny that it exists.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

How does that justify it exactly? I mean if you were to keep humans as pets but feed, nurture and care for them would that be ok?

Isn't that what it means to raise children?

Very true!  I have 2 young children-   perhaps Ka-pi96 wishes we set them "free" too ?!

I assume he does not believe what he posts at least some of the time as some like this one are not well thought out
