I'm hope that I'm not the one lauradav is referring to for making derogatory comments...
I didn't mean to insult anyone. To respond to Dianne, I realize that he may have meant it as a joke, but personally, I don't find cruelty to animals to be a joke. Anyone who has ever seen dogs or roosters that have been involved in fights (which I have) knows how hurtful and mean this practice is. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for eating meat, but cockfighting and dogfighting, IMHO, are unnecessary and cruel. To me, joking about them is akin to joking about child abuse, racism, or any other wrong--just not acceptable.
I'm not apologizing for my comments, but I'm not trying to attack any other GC member, either. I know a thing or two about shultzz, methinks.
