The majority of people agree that gun culture in the US is insane, and it seems a change may finally be underway. However, one company has officially refused to stop delivering special benefits into the bloody hands of NRA members: FedEx. But even if you don’t care about guns, maybe you care about endangered species, the ocean, or cruelty. Shark finning involves cutting off a shark’s fin and letting them suffocate to death and the practice is destroying numerous species and disrupting fragile ecosystems. The largest importer of shark fins outside of Asia? Canada. And a major shipping firm that refuses to stop transporting them? FedEx. Stick with Canada Post or UPS, who has agreed to a ban. —This One’s Got Teeth

Possibly the most relevant and informative bitch I’ve ever read on this forum. I’m going to look into more of what was stated here to get my facts straight. If what you say is true then, indeed, fuck FedEx.
So Canada imports shark fins? For what? Where’s the proof of this? And prove FedEx’s role, can you?
You can bleed heart all you want; liars, scammers and thieves weave similar stories. Unless you have proof then you are in bad company.
I don’t understand how you went from gun control in the States to shark fins in Canada in one paragraph.
The connection was pretty clear I thought — it’s in the title of the bitch even. It’s not OP’s fault you can’t follow a simple two step process, most of us learn this before third grade. Additionally, I have since googled both claims and they check out. (at the top of your screen there should be a search bar, if you move your mouse up there and click into it, it should highlight the area. Type “Google” and press enter…from there you can find almost all information you need about pretty much anything.)
If you can’t be bothered to educate yourself then your thoughts and opinions about someone else’s bleeding heart lack value and are pretty much worthless to me. Come back to me when you have a point to make.
The shark fin trade is similar to killing elephants for their tusks but sounds especially cruel. “Shark finning …. involves removing the fin from a live shark and throwing the rest of the animal back in the water to die a slow death. ” From: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/shark-fi…
OB, could you post a link to information regarding FedEx and shark fins? And, if FedEx can be shown to knowingly ship fins and, especially, fins of endangered species, then it might be good for concerned folks to contact them – or at least sign some sort of online petition. A boycott without a message to the company as to why doesn’t sound very effective.
There was a petition on http://Change.org about FedEx and sharks a few years ago
but it still seems to be a problem. This is the most recent thing I could find: https://www.care2.com/causes/why-was-trump…
^I was kind of getting into H&N including Man in The Mirror lyrics. This thread let me down.
I can Google “the cause of AIDS” and find reference to Africa, monkeys and sex. Does that mean that African people had sex with monkeys, bringing AIDS to humans? No. The internet is full of misinformation, lies and other assorted abominations. Google will tell you that you can cure cancer by injecting yourself with bleach. Will bleach cure cancer? No. So when I read that someone Googled something and the results validated there state of mind or position in a matter then I think the opposite is true. Because somebody says something does not make it true. Google search results have never been used in court nor have they been used to treat illness.
Sorry all I got from that paragraph was “I lack self-awareness and the ability to reason”.
Oh, let me dumb it down: Cite your sources.
Do your own research. If you’re too lazy to figure shit out for yourself then there’s no help for ya cupcake.
“If you can’t be bothered to educate yourself then your thoughts and opinions…are pretty much worthless to me. Come back to me when you have a point to make.”
You have to show them that you’re really not scared
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they beat you, then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
So you have no proof? I thought as much.
So you are too stupid to find information on the internet? I thought as much.
So far the only point you’ve had to make is that you believe the largest information index in the history of humankind is an unreliable place to find information…very telling. Do you also think the earth is flat and that chemtrails are brainwashing the sheeple?
Provide proof. Can’t?
I can. I found several articles that backed up OB’s claims because I know how to find information on the internet. I am confident that anyone who is not entirely inept can find the same articles (not the ones already posted above). Why should I provide you these links? You seem to think you are pretty clever but you can’t verify information on your own and that’s kinda pathetic, don’t you think? If I give you the links I found what will you learn? Will you be online tomorrow asking stupid questions? Will you still fail to grasp basic internet literacy? Will you continue to fail at life in general?
I like having the last word, so until you say something worthwhile I’m going to just respond with “LOLZ”
Still waiting…
“If you can’t be bothered to educate yourself then your thoughts and opinions…are pretty much worthless.”
Screeching at me is not proof. Clearly you can’t back up your allegations.
*You seem to think you are pretty clever but you can’t verify information on your own and that’s kinda pathetic, don’t you think?*
Screechy screech.
“If you can’t be bothered to educate yourself then your thoughts and opinions…are pretty much worthless.”
Screechy screech.
Ok, well its been fun sinking to your level for the past couple of days but I am bored now. You win! Congratulations! The prize is you get to continue throwing your tempter tantrum all by yourself!
And remember kids:
If you are going to insult someone on the internet, dont turn into the worlds most childish troll when you get called out on your inability to verify information for yourself. You will lose all credibility and self respect.
Until next time, clown.
My mother’s neighbour had a dog once; one of those small, inbred, high-strung, yappy things. All it did was yap.
