Apart from the ridiculous characterization of wives, anyone who has actually worked with a donkey would know that they can be stubborn, and even violent–kicking and biting their handlers. I’d say the the guy who came up with this comparison is the real jacka**. :rolleyes:

Sounds like my buddy’s ex-wife.

Speaking as a man who has both a wife and donkeys, I have to say donkeys are whatever you make of them. With proper training and handling, they are the most gentle, biddable creatures you can imagine.

Hey, with proper training and handling ANY creature will be gentle and biddable.

But I think the author won’t have much luck in the matrimonial department if his criteria for female perfection rests with what a woman does for HIM and not what a husband and wife do for each other, their family and friends, and above all God.

And if this were a “humor” piece comparing MEN/husbands with donkeys, with the same conclusion, I’d be equally up in arms against it.

We don’t need any more “humor” that is really a put down in disguise and a source of division and hurt to groups of people–do we?
 
Oh they are great. My daughter works with two, “Thelma” and “Louise”, and she loves them. They are certainly more intelligent than sheep (much as I love sheep). Of course, we like CHICKENS too. . .you’d be surprised how tame chickens are around my Liz (she has the “Elly Mae Clampett” touch.

My jenny, Jill (actually, my wife owns the donkeys, I own the horses) foaled last June. Since the jack was named Jonah, the foal was named Jinx.

We gave Jinx to a little girl who has a horse – the horse was in a 3-acre pasture by himself, and was becoming neurotic. Once he was introduced to Jinx, he calmed right down – and the family just live Jinx. He follows them around, butts them gently to get attention, and has pretty much taken over.http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon10.gif
 
With respect, vern, I don’t think the issue is how wonderful donkeys are. I’m sure they’re great animals. But that’s the thing: they are animals, not people, and this textbook says that these animals are better than human beings. That’s what I find offensive.

Actually, we’re talking about a different culture. They don’t have our values – and we don’t have theirs.
Pity the poor, benighted Hindu
He does the best he kindu
From first to last, he sticks to caste
And for pants he makes his skindu.

A big screen plasma tv and dvd home theater…perhaps…and you dont even need “loyalty”…just some fresh batteries in the remote. 🙂

True.
Next time someone complains that they’re sick of feminism here or tired of political correctness tell im, “Buddy, have I got a country for you!”

Ah now, what’s wrong with saying “"? The original wording for it was arse, which Americans couldn’t pronounce properly, forcing the change of "” (which meant donkey), to donkey.

Of course, “arse” and “***” are used quite a lot in their proper sense in Ireland, still.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t realise this forum censored a perfectly normal word.
