Marxist Madness --> Nelson Mandela

The latest quote I read from this goof yesterday said something like "Why are the U.S. and Britain intent on underming the efforts of the U.N.? Is it because the U.N. President is black?".

Complete idiot.

Groundhogs Looking for Love, not Shadow

By DAN LEWERENZ
Associated Press Writer

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Groundhogs that emerge from their dens in early February are probably looking for sweethearts, not shadows, a researcher says. And what's more, the girl groundhogs invite the boys in for a visit.

The rodent ritual — whimsically marked each Feb. 2 as Groundhog Day — seems to be part of the mating ritual ``to see which females are available and where they are,'' said Stam Zervanos, an associate professor of biology at Pennylvania State University's campus in Reading.

Their scouting done, the groundhogs then return to hibernating until the March mating season, he said.

The appearances are the heart of modern Groundhog Day celebrations, which evolved from a German superstition that if such an animal sees its shadow on the Christian holiday of Candlemas, then a long winter is in store.

``What's happening, I'm pretty confident, is that they're getting together, getting ready for mating that's going to come later,'' Zervanos said.

I read the other day that many dog lovers mistake a dog's licks as kisses when actually they are searching for food. I tried to explain to a dog-loving friend of mine that when her dog licked her mouth, it was not kissing her. It associated her mouth with food and very likely could detect the scent of food around her mouth. I have seen no research that indicates that dogs know what kissing is. Personally, I don't want a dog licking my chops. Humping my leg is cool, but licking my mouth with the same tongue that licks his own...well, you get the idea.

It is my understanding that dogs actually never really grow up. That is, they have been bred in such a way that they, even in adulthood, retain many of their puppy qualities. In pups, domestic or wild, you will always see this behaviour of tail-wagging, excited yelps and licking of the mouth, when the parents return (from a hunt, in the case of wild dogs). The pups are simultanously acknowledging the superiority of the parent (and the bond) and "begging" for food.

For adult domestic dogs, who are usually well fed, I don't think the behaviour is concerned much with food, but mostly with the bond/superiority bit.
 
I'd like to get a dog but I'll have to fix my fence first.

Personally I like mutts. They are always the smartest.
 
Then it would be a good idea to fix the dog, too.

DD, that's interesting. I believe I've heard or read something to that effect; also about dogs being territorial. That's why they bark at the postman and others they consider to be intruders. They also tend to be protective of their "masters." Cats, on the other hand--I don't know much about them, and don't care to.:D
 
How did we get from the comments of Nelson Mandela (who I would definitely say is no friend of the US or the West generally) to the mating habits of groundhogs and the reasons why dogs lick?

The leftists have nothing to say when one of their perversionist icons steps all over his tonque in front of international media like the communist Nelson Mandela did.

Don't let them bother you--it is in their nature. They talk about "dogs licking" and yet still forget that communism died when the Berlin Wall fell. Pretty funny, actually. That is what they have in common--dogs.

I just got back from the grocery store. While there, I saw my first Segway in the parking lot!!! An old guy owned it. Must have been near 80 years old. Good for him!!

Does anyone else have any Segway sightings to share???

Edited to add: Ooops, sorry Crossbow. I didn't mean to hijack your groundhog thread.

We can talk about both things - groundhogs and Segways. Or maybe a groundhog riding a Segway!!! :eek: :eek: LOL!!! :D :D

My son went to a birthday party today and brought back two ballons. He went out in the back yard and released them. They went WAY up in the air.
 
Hey, JK, I have something to say that is totally on topic. Are you ready for it? Here goes:

This is my final thread topic. It didn't dawn on me that I was debating in the midst of a hate group until recently when sovietesque "mental illness" labels were used against people who did not adhere to the atheist extremism point of view on numerous subjects.

I have this neighbor who has one of those gas-powered radio-controlled cars. He had it out this afternoon. It made VROOOM-VROOOOM noises as it went up and down the street.

Millions of anonymous supporters:rolleyes:

oh and yeah, do they love him here or hate him here? Or is this just about the most tolerant place around? :confused:
"I will drop in from time to time but will no longer contribute to the forum. I am off to pursue a forum where there is less hate and hopefully more people who share my views and beliefs.
