    That's pretty racist. I'm sure there are people disgusted by people of your culture as well.

    save the dolphins...cause it is wrong to eat dolphin in any culture.

    and, save the shark fins. sharks need to swim...not watch while dying washed up on shore as some guy dries its fins on a roof.

    and, save those poor people in (insert country of choice here).

    save everybody.

    i'd like to thank my agent, jerry maguire. you are my ambassador of quad.

    "A lot" is ambiguous and so is the word "many". People often interpret usage of these words as the equivalent of "most" or "the majority", which means greater than 50%, which in this case is plainly not true. Not sure if you did this intentionally but your statement is potentially misleading. Not sure what this has anything to do with the thread or why you needed to include a picture, but in your case as usual, ignorance is bliss.

    I've actually been to Korea myself and seen this.

    If the US ever experience hardship as some other parts of the world have for centuries, I am sure people in this country would not make fun of people eating non traditional food. When you are starving, you will eat anything.

    If other countries eat cats and dogs, it is animal cruelty, but many in this country taunt Muslims around the world for not eating pigs.

    the illusion you call morality is interfering with your reasoning here. flesh is flesh, including us. some taste better than others for sure, likewise some animals think we taste yummy!!!

    I'm curious what percentage of the patrons hand-selecting live cats in restaurants are starving.

    For all I know, eating cats over there evolved like lobster. Use it to be for poor people, now it's for rich people.

    What's the relevance of this comparison? They are gross for different reasons.

    I rather be a stray dog/cat in America than be dinner some place else.

    Yes, I have seen dogs (there is only a specific breed they eat) being held on the countryside for the purpose of being eaten. In Seoul or the big cities, I don't think you would easily find restaurants which serve dog. Dogs are mainly pets, like in the US or Europe.

    I guess it's a cultural thing. I could never eat dog, but I avoid pretty much any meat except beef. Morally, I don't see why eating one animal over another would be better or worse.

    Yeah exactly. People in China eat dogs, people in Korea eat dogs, people in redneck bumblefluk eat roadkill. Let's keep perpetuating stereotypes!
