Extremely cruel people in this world

I was at a local shopping center early one morning. There was a pack of geese eating in the parking lot. The lot was empty. So this guy drives his truck through the pack of geese and totally disrupts their meal. I thought that was extremely cruel and hateful. Why would someone do that?

    Because that guy is an idiot. We pretty much breed them in this country. Hell, you're from northeast Ohio. You know what I'm talking about.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      Yes, indeed I know what you're talking about. I asked a friend of mine who's from another country what was so different about being here...he says "the people, in my country, they're friendly"....He said there's not too many helpful people here.

      Yeah I experience rude and obnoxious people everyday. It's a shame. lol, I wish those birds would have attacked him that day...I know I'm wrong for feeling that way but that was awful.

    Maybe not extreme cruelty, but it sounds like there was only one true birdbrain in that parking lot.

      I don't know, I think it is rude for birds to be having lunch and not invite me.

        Hmmm,

        Do you actually know what they were lunching/munching on? It was in a parking lot after all.

        Personally, I would decline the invitation myself, but I certainly wouldn't try to run them over with a truck!

          I wonder if they would send the invitation by carrier pigeon.

    Out of curiosity, was this a Walmart parking lot?

    No but there's a bunch of Geese in the nearby Walmart parking lot as well.

    You are all reminding me of the last time I fed geese. There was a flock hanging around a pond in an office park where I was eating lunch, and I decided to give them the bread from my sandwich.

    After I threw the bread down I walked away. One of them chased after me and slapped me on the back with his huge wing - scared me half to death and lucky he didn't knock me over.

    Did you know they are almost 5 feet tall when they stand up? It was neck and neck for me - again he scared me to death and I will never feed them up close and personal again.

    I would have liked to see them pop that guy's tires or smack him upside his head for interrupting their lunch. What a dork.

        I was at a local park one lunchtime. I was eating my lunch. The park was empty. So this pack of geese charge straight at me and disrupts my meal. I thought that was extremely cruel and hateful. Why would Geese do that?

    Great post Bill. It's so easy to take out including animal life for no reason but it's so hard to preserve life. Cruel people will always do cruel things but you know that under the laws of Karma, that Truck driver will pay for it........Imagine his truck breaks down one day on a rainy day and he's standing near the pavement asking other motorists for help. None of the motorists stop and one truck driver hits the puddle of dirty muddy water which slashes all over his face and body. Believe it or not that will happen. I love the laws of Karma.

      And I'm sure a puddle of muddy water is going to bother him . . .

      . . . when he's got this beast on the back for dinner.

        Did he Honk the Geese before moving forward and upsetting their table. Bet they honked him back.

        They do have a nasty habit of setting up their tables in the middle of the parking avenues outside Wal-Mart. More upmarket stores have Geese picnic areas.

    That's really terrible I think people are becoming mentally ill , they have more tension, axiety, depression and they feel better only by hurting others. such people don't know the purpose of life they are just not normal this is what I can say and they need some sort of mental therapy. I believe today there are more people living outside the mental asylum claiming they are normal when actually they are not. I only pray God to help such people in better understanding.

    Every day there are billions, if not trillions of acts of kindness and love and mercy in the world, yet people want to focus on the crud. Why is it so many people put their focus on cruelty, wickedness, crime and perversion?

    Just think about that for a second. Someone clicks on a post and they can come away feeling a little better or a little worse. Which is better?

          You tried that before and look at where it got you, (referring to your head getting bigger)!!!!

          True, turning on the news, and having the typical story of this bombing, and that mishap, doesn't help!

          They do it, so you stay at home more, since it is safer, and spend more on their advertising when you do go out!

          I ognore the news, and read the paper when l go out, so at least l can skip the dredged negative stuff!

          But you are right, watch one sicko after another, and by the end of the week, your subconscious thinks that a much larger percentage of the population is like that. Which isn't the case at all!

          We all need a warm and fuzzy tv station, minus the max out the treble crap, when the ad's are on!

          That's ok, help a little old lady across the road, and we will forgive you!

        Bill; You are fine. There is no need to justify an opinion. Of course, you are allowed to share your observations.

        Just be prepared for feedback.

        Wait until you are assigned a mortal enemy here, who condemns your every thought.

        We have decided to name my mortal enemy Riffle. It's obviously a stage name.
