Children will simply imbibe what is taught to them. I do not think the adult in question was dysfunctional. I have seen many normal people who think it a divine right to torture animals. I simply cannot fathom the reason though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1134537637647725322005-12-14T10:50:00.000+05:302005-12-14T10:50:00.000+05:30Zap, I'm a strict non-vegetarian, but will you poi...Zap, I'm a strict non-vegetarian, but will you point me to the Dahl story anyway?

Of course there are similar characters such as the puppy torturers in many of his stories. Please hurry and dont keep me waiting. Will rush and get the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1134491714267177982005-12-13T22:05:00.000+05:302005-12-13T22:05:00.000+05:30For me ttg, the story of the dog only inspires one...For me ttg, the story of the dog only inspires one question "Are you vegetarian, Dilip?". And if you are I will point to a good Roald Dahl short story.<BR/>Not that it'll make me smug though.<BR/><BR/>- Zzaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160390414559095042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1134479305174041472005-12-13T18:38:00.000+05:302005-12-13T18:38:00.000+05:30hmmm, the reasons for the lady saying 'we don't wa...hmmm, the reasons for the lady saying 'we don't want his kind here' were, most likely, purely economic. <BR/>The rest of the paying public does not want somebody grimy rubbing shoulders and elbows with them. <BR/><BR/>And with 'dirty' some people might, subconciously, associate other unjustified undesirable characteristics to someone who looks like Sunil. <BR/>Certainly unjustified. <BR/>So it is all very well, that you bought Sunil a ticket and later had an all-american-movie moment, but methinks that what one should be striving for, metaphorically, is to arrange for the Sunils of the world to have a bath and get some clean clothes.<BR/>And uske liye, thoda Economics ka sochna padta hai.
