> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Aw. That’s too cute for words! How on earth can you find it cute?! I am offended, because it represents the cruelty and enslavement of wild animals in so-called “circuses”. The Romans had “circuses” that they made the Christians play in. With lions! Would you give your child a cuddly black minstrel with a ball around his ankle to play with? No? Won’t someone think of the children?! How their little minds are going to be warped by this image of servitude. I urge you all to boycott Ellie the Elephant and send emails of protest to Patons, the bastards. ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > Go ahead and defend the country - there is a lot of ignorance out there and it does need to be fought. Clearly, as it is your “HOME” you have a vested interest in doing so, but do bear in mind that some of the time when you do so, you sound like nothing more than a state propagandist. I said my piece to **even sven** and I’m happy with it. I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. If she has anything else she wants to say to me she can start a Pit thread. Until then, I’m moving on. I just had something I needed to get off my chest about her and I did so. As for the “state propagandist” comment, though: you know, it really is odd how quickly one gets called a “propagandist” or “shill” or “apologist” or chided as naive for supposedly believing “bullshit” simply for choosing to reject the groupthink that so many try to force down one’s throat and open one’s mind to the fact that maybe, possibly the picture painted of China in the West is inaccurate. Other than that, I have nothing to say to you. If you make a post about something that offends me, be it about China or about something else, I might have a different response. As it stands now, though, you’re butting in to a conversation that has nothing to do with you. Good day. ---
