Here's a test for you to try at home:

1. Catch a wild house cat outside.
2. Keep it in a cage just big enough for it to stand and turn around in.
3. Beat the cat, breaking it's arms and legs.. let it heal..
4. Refuse to feed or give the cat water until it is on the verge of death. then give it the minimal amount required to survive.
5. Find innovative ways to torture the cat on a daily or hourly basis.

Repeat steps 2-5 for 5-10 years.

Release cat in your house.. see how well that cat likes you or trusts you. The cat will avoid you at all costs, but won't hesitate to lash out at you if given the chance. :hippy:


fyi: I don't condone the abuse of animals and am not advocating it. This was just an example of the psychology involved with McCain's POW status and why he feels that way towards a group. Which is still racism; but nothing like just blindly using a racist term with no history behind you to justify your words.
