If someone has kids with the intention of them making their parents rich in the future, then that's just immoral. The parents have lived a poor life and have made nothing out of THEMSELVES and expect the child to carry them. Only cowards to that, who are afraid of hardship and lack determination and willingness to work hard for their own dreams and success.

just old people paying to see it that have nothing else to waste there money on. When they die the business dies.

Lassies a filthy little whore.

Cats sitcom babies faces, smothering them.

They also don't give the same love and affection as dogs do. If someone starts feeding your cat nicer food, it's no longer your cat. Evil animals. I hate them.

This made me laugh so hard.

It all depends. If you're an active person with a proper sized home for a dog, get a dog. They are great and loyal. But only take an animal if you're willing to put in the work and feed him, play with him. Animal won't be a side hobby, it will be a huge a part of your life. That's what makes it all so great. I love how sincere animals are, if they are angry, you will get bitten but never back-stabbed.

I own a cat, took her from the shelter and it has been like winning a jackpot. Golden character, she is very playful, affectionate and follows me around everywhere. Best part about him is that she isn't a easily scared cat, so she doesn't hide under the table etc. Only bad thing about her is that she is too brave. When, for example, I get into a fight with my brother, she attacks him aswell.

Don't take an animal, because it is cute and cuddly, take it for the right reasons. There are enough animals being killed because idiots and spoiled prats want to play home. Like I said, if you know how to look, shelters are a great place for a friend for life. Animals that come out of shelters KNOW you saved them, believe me.

Definetly agree!

I see many people buying dogs because they want to have a baby, but think it is too much work and too expensive. They end up either giving up on the dog or the dog becomes those human looking pets (eating real food and using clothes). Dogs are dogs and in my humble opinion they feel much happier being treated like dogs and not like humans, with love and care.

I would love to have a dog, but I know I definetly dont want all the stuff it comes with it. Yes, they are amazing friends and there are incredible stories about dogs and their owners. However, I have absolutely no patience to walk with him twice a day, to educate him on how and where to pee and poo, take him to the pet shop and play with him all day long. I also remember of me complaining of the smell and noise my brother's pug used to have, lol.

Cats on the other hand, are really easy to take care of. I didnt know I would like it so much, I basically spent the whole weekend playing with him! He is very very playful and likes to just sit on my lap asking for attention. He also hardly meows and is very independent, so that is a good thing (I hate dog bark). I just stopped in a pet shop and bought some cool toys for the little one, I hope he likes them. I am loving it really!

Dogs have their advantages and disadvantages, so do cats. Each person will know what it is best for them...

P.S: I hope my cat come to help me as well!

PARA ENTENDER O EUROPEU

CRÔNICA...Cartas de Londres: Educado é fingir que o outro não existe

Mauricio Savarese

O que nós latinos achamos de uma frieza sem igual, como não ganhar um bom dia de volta do porteiro do prédio ou ouvir o silêncio em resposta a um comentário bem humorado no ônibus, para os londrinos é uma forma sutil de mostrar respeito pelo espaço alheio.

E isso, descobri em um livro que se pretende de sociologia britânica, tem até nome: polidez negativa. Não vale para os pubs, onde a bebida fala bastante, mas quem papeia com estranhos em espaços públicos pode ser confundido com um doido ou com alguém que acabou de tomar todas.

Milhões de pessoas vêm das cidades ao redor de Londres para trabalhar ou estudar. Muitos pegam trem no mesmo horário todos os dias com um mesmo grupo de pessoas. Nem por isso se falam. Um colega que vem de uma cidadela chamada St Albans passa cerca de três horas todos os dias viajando para Londres. Na etapa da manhã, há uma moça por quem ele ficou abobado há dois anos. Conversaram pela primeira vez há duas semanas, quando o trem quebrou e os passageiros tiveram de andar nos trilhos de volta para a estação de origem.

“Reclamamos dos atrasos”, disse ele. Nem o nome perguntou. Eles continuam se vendo no trem da manhã. E voltaram a não se falar. “É normal. Se você conversa com uma pessoa uma vez, pode ficar na obrigação de falar de novo. Ninguém quer isso. Para falar mal do transporte ok, todo mundo fala mesmo”, ele me conta. E me relembro só interagia com gente daqui antes da faculdade quando o metrô travava.

Uma amiga que já passou uma longa temporada na América do Sul diz que ficava chocada com as olhadas de brasileiros e argentinos. “Aqui olhar diretamente tem só dois sentidos: não gostei de você ou gostei bastante de você. Mas mesmo quando gostam ninguém te olha como vocês fazem lá”, ela diz. “Talvez vocês entendam que ser educado é fazer o outro se sentir querido e nós somos mais preocupados em não ofendermos. São sensibilidades diferentes.” Bingo.

Já vi gente corar no ônibus ao ser pega saltando os olhos para o meu jornal. Já vi uma bêbada bonita baixar a cabeça porque eu e um amigo olhamos com interesse (ela entendeu outra coisa, disse à amiga que não tínhamos direito de olhar só porque ela tinha tomado demais). Enfim, agora aceito que parte do que chamamos de frieza seja outra coisa. No fundo, o meu desconforto com eles deve ser tão grande quanto o deles comigo.

@, this is a very good read from a very good journalist!

Being european is sad. Not that I usually talk to strangers at the bus or public spaces but if you can't even look at them is awful.

Hmmm, wouldnt put it like that...

This says it all for me, different aproaches to the same situation: "Talvez vocês entendam que ser educado é fazer o outro se sentir querido e nós somos mais preocupados em não ofendermos. São sensibilidades diferentes".

I agree we are more sociable and cool though!

I don't know, the way that journalist put it, it looks like to me that people get offended even by you looking at them. The guy he mentions got all red because he was caught looking to other person's NEWSPAPER! WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT. I agree that staring is unpolite and everything but people getting offended because you just looked at them for some seconds is crazy.

HAHAHHAHAHAHA, it is not called crazy, it is called being European!

Like, we do things with 'strangers' or 'newly met friends' that is unthikable in strong relationships in Europe. It is who we are, we have no boundaries or shyness. I love this characteristic, but I can totally understand why it might be offensive.

I get what you are saying, but we are more social than the normal already highly social brazilians (gotta admit that)...
