Horses AND "KHOMA."
Though the two usually go together.
If you don't know what "KHOMA" is then I suggest you read this.
You could wipe out third-world poverty if American women simply donated money to charity instead of maintained horses. But no, no. Pretties horsies iz so pretteez to looksies ats!!! Yeah pweettty horsieeeeessss!!!
Besides, what's a few hundred million child-deaths due to malaria compared to a pretty shiny pony?
God I hate horses.
Four-legged money pits. A house is cheaper, and lasts longer.
ReplyDeleteThrowing trillions of dollars at third world poverty - yeah, that's a wise investment.
ReplyDeleteA wise man once said... "if it wasn't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college".
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
Cap, its not girls who throw the most money at horses, its mega wealthy elite. In Aus there was a major scare with Equine Flu that was threatening to kill the industry(which is owned and run mostly by rich Arabs) so they were given a government bailout. Despite horse racing adding nothing to the productivity of Aus, and despite other sectors such as Ag and manufacturing facing severe problems, the mega wealthy pulled the strings of their politician puppets and made sure millions of tax payers money was thrown into this useless industry.
ReplyDeleteA tax deduction for the care and feeding of dressage horses? Ok, that's just obscene. How the Hell did that ever become permissible?
ReplyDeleteAt least you can eat them when hyperfinlation sets in.
ReplyDelete"God I hate horses."
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you'd feel pretty silly trampling your foes into dust under the hooves of a cow.
I hear they are good eats.
ReplyDeleteHating horses?!?
ReplyDeleteTHAT is unmanly and no bones about it. Every man should be able to handle and care for a horse.
Oh right, third world kids are starving because western women spend all their money on horses, and there I was thinking that the reason Ethiopians are starving is because they are having between 6-8 kids per couple. Since 1984 Ethiopia's population has gone from approx 30 million to over 70 mil. Yes lets give them more money so that they can increase their population to 140 million, that will solve the hunger problem alright.
ReplyDeleteTam, I (like the Roi-Tanners) much prefer trampling my foes into dust under the hooves of merino sheep.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking children in the Third World were starving because of their effed up political-economic systems.
