Think for a minute we are in the jungle before Babylon with all the concrete craze that is around you. Think that you are standing butt naked and there is two of you one black and one white and out of nowhere here come the gang (lion, tiger...& other) and they are hungry and they see this rare and well done soft delicious two jerks that hate each other but know if they unite they have a chance of getting out alive but on their ego driven individual ways no chance at all they will end up....

Why are you showing this? Are you trying to badmouth these animals so that animal cruelty and abuse can happen to them? Primates are already treated in the MOST ATROCIOUS fashion, everything from being experimented, caged in zoos, exploited for entertainment and eatten. PLEASE SHOW POSITIVE IMAGES OF ANIMALS AND DON'T PROMOTE CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE. If the animals are dangerous, THEN STAY AWAY FROM THEM. USE SOME SENSE!!!

It was my life dream to try to ride a moose, hug a cuddle fish, kiss a big cat, run with elephants, eat honey with grizzly bears, sleep in a wolverine den and scuba dive with a leapord seal! They are all just so CUTE! Now what am I going to do? I'm crushed! Augh!

Is it just me, or did only 3 of these animals seem cute? The others are kinda ugly. Or is it one of those times when something is so ugly, it's cute? like bulldogs.

Yep, we are fed up. Like you, we clicked on here to see the cute animals not expecting fools on here to say racists remarks. And I assume you are saying to enjoy the pictures which you are right. But you can't tell anyone not to be offended because let's face it, it is offensive.

Anomous, I believe the go saying states "Birds of a feather flock together". If you have lived all over the U.S. and the world and just about evry black person you see is on welfare, that must mean that you yourself are visiting the welfare office because most PEOPLE do not disclose their socioeconomical status to strangers. And if that's not the case then you must not see very many black people on a daily basis. I am black and I only know one black person on welfare.

He is a small percentage of people in this country possessing the disease of athiestic rhetoric, ignorance, racism and honestly, he has either a split personality or there is more than one person wiritng under the name. I am thinking "Spaz" is a misguided teenage loser with pimples all over his face with nothing else better to do.

As I read these threads only one fact counts. When your days are over, white or black you have made a choice. To be with the opposite color in Heaven or hell. Nothing else will matter.

Read my earlier post regarding this.

And by the way, I have to grade college final essays so that is why I am up...why are you up so late? can't get a date? you need a life and seriously, if you can't say these things in public, dont say it here. you must have ******* on yourself when Obama was elected....

I can't believe you're grading COLLEGE essays considering you obviously have not mastered the English language as of this post. Do you know that you are supposed to capitalize the first word in a sentance? I sincerely hope you are some teaching assistant kissing butt to get an a from the professor and not actually a professor. Also, just so you know, your post proves your lack of intelligence. had you not said you were grading "college final essays" I probably would not have posted commenting.... More

It is common for blacks sometimes to get sickle cell but it has appeared in whites also but not as common. And every race has certain traits in their genes that are generally known to them but not exclusive. What the person was saying if you remove the skin color and look deeper you will realize God made us all with all the same parts and blood that ties us all together as the Bible said we were cut from the same cloth. Man's ignorance is what separates us from God and each other. It seems we.... More

I am so procrastinating right now, but are you serious? If that is they case, I case that is why you do not hear of many Black people with down syndrome. We can debate this back and forth, but it can be genetic, related to diet, habits, etc. Outside of skin cancer, color is so unrelated.

"White" people do get sickle cell. Anywhere malarial mosquitos live the sickle cell allele exists. It is actual an adaptation that, if you are a heterozygote, makes you resistant to malaria. It happens to people of Mediterranean ancestry (Greeks, etc) also. Just because it seems to be an "African" disease in the US because the largest proportion of people to get it are of African ancestry (where malaria is prevalent) does not mean it does not exist in other areas.
p.s. Race is a social.... More
