I couldn't agree more.
Really, you read her post and couldn't agree more?
Well then it looks like I've been wrong all along. It seems everyone I've been arguing with have been right in their arguments. People only care because a kitten has fur and looks cute. And wishing harm upon reptiles is now morally acceptable is it?
I despair. I really do.

A cat will save your life while a snake will take it. A snake really doesn't care. That's the difference.

They don't have loyalty, they don't play with you, they don't cuddle up to you when you are sad (like my cats do with me) they are --perfect-- psychopaths without intelligence. Just like this gender-indeterminate (incubus or succubus) making the videos. Snakes should be regarded as sources of leather and meat and -banned- as anything else, or a hefty fine and prison sentence.

We're talking about DOMESTICATED animals that people keep as pets that CANNOT survive in the wild.
Read the thread before you jump to conclusions.
As I've mentioned, cats have saved peoples lives. Snakes on the other hand have taken alot of peoples lives.
While a snake does not know any better, the snake is much like the psychopath who performed this experiment. Are you a snake?

I just need to follow the 25 sad pages of this thread and pick up the number of people who think this video and the guy in it is "normal"..respective try to side with this guy with reasoning out of their ###....then i have the diagnosis.
As someone said a few posts earlier, its pointless to debate with people like you.
You are either a) still very young and immature and "one day you might get it" (which would kind of excuse you) or
b) the internet and youtube and whatnot already fried your brain in some way.
A typical answer in this thread would be "why not a cat?" which shows a CLEAR mind-set..and i am thanking God that not ALL people [yet] are so screwed up in their minds. As i said earlier..if you are already asking "why not a cat" and try to defend this video/guy with your bizarre "pseudo logic"..then i think its already WAYY to late for you and i also dont have a desire to even engage in a conversation with you. The least i could expect from a halfway sane person would be a something like a moral or a feel of "good/bad"...or responsibility...or maturity...and if you don't have this (in particular responsibility

Dogs and cats are domesticated animals that do not live in the wild. So no they cannot be grouped in with wild predators.

Owning animals is pretty natural actually.
It's just life. People have kept animals (including dogs) for tens of thousands of years. Animals and insects do the same thing more often for food though.

Wait, a few pages back you said you didn't watch the video, then someone called you out and said they bet you did and you admonished them for not reading your previous post and said you didn't again.Then in the post I'm replying to here you describe what you did or didn't see in the video.
How can anyone take you serious if you are mixing up your story and lying?

(Because YOU don't think so, and all the news, media and thousands of other people on the net must be wrong). I see.

Actually mice and rats are carriers of toxoplasmosis. You get it not from cat bites, at least to my knowledge, but from handling litter boxes and cat feces. It gets into cats from mice though..
Also.. you may have been making two distinct points, but toxoplasmosis infection has nothing to do with "cat scratch fever." People with it show no real symptoms, just some over all lifestyle variation correlations. Also a possible increased risk of schizophrenia.edit on 5-12-2011 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

Yeah.. I should have clarified, people with toxoplasmosis have no real symptoms. I don't really know about so called cat scratch fever.
Why do some people develop severe problems from toxo?
Few people with toxo develop symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. However, anyone with a compromised immune system is at risk for serious problems from toxo. These individuals include those undergoing chemotherapy, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune disorders, and recent organ-transplant recipients.
In these people, an infection that occurred anytime during life can reactivate and cause the severe symptoms of toxoplasmosis such as damage to the eye, brain, or other organs.
Ocular toxoplasmosis, which damages the eyes, can lead to reduced vision, blurred vision, pain (often with bright light), redness of the eye, and sometimes tearing, according to the CDC.
