oh boy... fun fun



actually, the Japan's Shame thread was renamed, so my guess is the
Canada's Shame thread will probalby be renamed as well

How about "Old Beatle hasbeen shame" or How artists who needs attention rent an orange suit and get photographed near cute furry animal that eat all the ugly mean cods. Who is it gonna be next year, the Who? Kiss?

really, I dont wanna get started on That one (that will sure attract Trolls )

yea, well, I am not sure I have the stomach for it. It was brutal and I admit I could not watch the clubbing and dragging around with ice picks. I did not know the guys doing it were commercial fishermen. The karmic debt they incur on those clubbings has got to be profound....kind of ironic since there I am holding a dead creature. Some life forms are higher, I don't mind saying that. Can't prove it though.

catherine96821,

Nice looking "ono" you're holding there. Reminds me of some of the fish we caught the year I spent on Midway Island. And by the way, the "higher life form" holding that fish is "easy on the eyes" also

I'll bet that fish made for some fantastic filets.

Pretty large as it happens, but then killing any creature capable of feeling pain is not exactly going to put you on the karmic success vector.

Of course if you've got a big reserve of positive stuff K, then you could start your own whalemeat sausage factory and still come out ahead. Unfortunately since we can't tell what our balance is, such actions strike me as foolhardy (aside from being cruel).
