Man Jailed for Putting Puppy in Oven

............. a puppy is a more complex living animal...it has a more complex nervous system, and very soft skin with lots of nerves....a lobster is made up of a hard shell with no nerve centers in it's skin, only some simple nerves inside it's body, and an almost liquid insides.

Have you ever seen a crab being cut in half when it is still alive?... there is just a guey liquid inside it's shell, in order to make it hard and succulent enough for humans to eat it, it has to be boiled/cooked.....

Crabs/lobsters and such do not have "nerves" in their skins, puppies do....and that man and whoever else thinks that "cooking a live puppy, or even killing a puppy to eat it"....are demented bastards...

1Crisis, I'm not sure what it is about the term. It just does not sit right with me.

Handicap seems much more appropriate in my opinion. While the alternative comes across as derogatory. Just a personal perception.

Maybe I'm completely wrong on this, I'm open to hear an alternative view if someone has one.

Well, I for one agree. I am not much on political correctness,but when it comes to that word,I'll make the exception.

Chissler, I do see how it can be offensive to someone since it is used in an offensive way.

The word "retard" is misused and is considered an insult, but do you care so much that I insult a man who throws puppies in ovens?

When I used this word, that definition above is exactly what I meant, I didn't consider it an insult at the time. See that is exactly what that word means, which is why I was confused.

Mental retardation is a clinical term. It means slow. It took the place of the previous clinical terms of moron, idiot and imbecile, because they entered the lay lexicon as pejoratives.

We use the terms developmental delay, too, but then delay is a synonym of retard.

We can carry out the prime directive here of politeness, without falling into the absurdity of political correctness.
