Quote: My gosh! How crazy! These two were just downright disrespectful. They don't teach in schools that you should respect each other, and everyone's property. Or maybe they do.. ? I don't know. I have been homeschooled all my life!

I live just east of Tulsa and am relatively new to chickens. All my chickens are pets not show quality. I am faced with my first special needs chicken. I a have a sweet little easter egger pullet with a cross beak. I got her 4/21 at Orscheln in pryor. She has kept up with her peers in growth and activity. Eats and drinks well. I am looking for her a new home.
I also am looking to rehome a rhode island white rooster who is five months old and crowing, and a just turned one year old silver seabright banty hen who is laying. I will post pictures of my little cross beak later.

crossbeaks can llive happily with a deep food dish, depending on how severe keep it filed down, be warned we are an enabling bunch!

Eh, that language thing is one of those perception issues. When my kids were young I taught them that there was no such thing as "dirty" words, but there were words that were inappropriate to use in front of some people. I told them that until they could learn when and where to use those words, that they were only allowed to use them in their rooms.

You can say you found a bloody chicken in your garden, and it would mean a totally different thing here and in the UK. While I preferred my children not watch violence or shows that catered to men's perceptions of what women should be, letting them be exposed to the things that were all in how something was perceived was never really a problem for me as long as I was there to discuss it with them. Like nudism in art, it never bothered me to let them see the nude form in art, but I detest stupid Carl's Jr. commercials where the woman is practically doing it with the hamburger.

This!

Just this. Most old art does have nudism and it doesn't bother me. It bothers me when it's portrayed in a vulgar manner. Yes, those ads made me feel sick, let me tell you!

Ah, well.

But it's not the idea that she's practically doing it with the hamburger that I have an issue with... even there, I don't have an issue with sex or sexuality. What I can't stand is this concept that it's okay to use sex to sell a product and try to hide it behind some kind of unsexualized wrapping paper. We're not stupid, we know what you're trying to intimate when a woman is having a hard time fitting that big ol' burger in her mouth then giving the sleepy winking eyes. What I have a problem with is that this is done with women, and not (or very rarely) with men. I have a big problem with how we sexualize women, yet that hasn't become a common thing with men until recently. Women are still trying to put big things in their mouths, but men aren't making gestures like that and trying to intimate they're doing anything to women. If you're going to prostitute yourself for a hamburger ad, at least be honest about it and do it equally with men and women. I like the way Bill Hicks said it in his routine before he died. One of these days they'll have a naked woman spread-eagled on a page, and all the ad will say is "Drink Coke". THEN at least it'll be honest.
