1. horse-drawn carriages are cruel?

Ho boy.

And I guess they used a fake horse because a camera would cruelly steal a horse's soul?

[flvegan]

2. Would appear to be.

7. I suppose if you're a sucker for everything you read on the internet.

Sure.

[RebelOne]

10. Not just PETA, but animal rights groups have been protesting

against horse-drawn carriages in New York for many years now.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. And?

[RebelOne]

27. And horse-drawn carriages are cruel.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. No, they're not.

5. They wouldn't have been very happy with my father and grandfather then

They would have hated horse-drawn combines:

12. Try pulling one for six hours and get back to us...

"horse-drawn carriages are cruel?"

Try pulling one with three people in it for six hours and get back to us...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. I'm sorry.

Is that supposed to be a valid argument?

[LanternWaste]

15. Don't be sorry.

Don't be sorry....

It was merely as valid/invalid as the the post towards which it was directed...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. Ah, but I wasn't presenting an argument.

Just mocking the silly idea of horse drawn carriages being cruel.

[LanternWaste]

17. And I *was* making an argument?

And I *was* making an argument? or was that an inference on your part...?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Well, yes.

You were arguing horse drawn carriages are cruel because pulling a carriage for six hours is hard work.

It wasn't a good argument, but apparently it was the best you had.

[LanternWaste]

19. Well... no.

Well... no.

I was mocking the absurdity of your post.

Six of one half a dozen of the other.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. "I was mocking the absurdity of your post."

Then you're positing that horse drawn carriages are cruel, and your argument was that it is hard work.

[LanternWaste]

23. You're simply reading too much into being mocked.

You're simply reading/projecting/translating too much into yourself getting mocked.

But, if you're better validated by continuing this Theater of Absurd, by all means...

Player One: Is it hard work? I've never done it-- no idea.
Player Two: What are positing?

End Act I, Scene ii

3. What do they want us doing after Peak Oil then?

Ferret-drawn carriages?*




*No offense intended towards ferrets, which I think are cool little critters!

[pokerfan]

14. Rickshaws?

[DS1]

4. It's madness having a horse trot around New York City

and I hate the people in it as much as the douchebag operator.

Fuck your romance.

[GCP]

28. In mid-August heat or the ice and snow of February

Either way it's cruelty as far as I'm concerned. The traffic is brutal and horses are killed. If they stayed in Central Park that would be one thing, but Fifth Ave and Columbus Circle are no places for horses.

6. She has gotten too thin for her frame. She looked good before all of

her weight loss.





I hate saying anything about one's weight either way, but she is shockingly thin.

[pokerfan]

9. She looks like a skeleton in the second pic

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. I was just thinking

"What happened to Sally? She can't kick my ass anymore." :(

[Bake]

22. She looks just fine on the horse ...

:evilgrin:

8. Bareback, no less.
