They're trying to Americanize something that can't really be Americanized unless the maids actually act like maids.

Babies and animals are uncorrupted; fawning over the innocence that was lost from us, or a desire to protect that innocence as long as possible so they do not become like the rest of society today.

Sorry if I went off topic for a second, but that's how I see it.

>> No.914752

SO MOREAY

>>animals are uncorrupted

>> No.914767

>>914758
Animals can be corrupted if a person utilizes that animal as a weapon, the mistreatment of animals will cause it to have a mean streak and lash out at others around it.

>> No.914778

And in the wild animals have to fend for themselves or starve to death. This obviously involves killing other animals, often violently, of course. I hate animal cruelty, but don't forget the realities of Nature.

>> No.914810

>>914778
Yes, but self preservation (Survival) Overrides everything. Animals only kill if they are hungry, however people continue to kill for stupid reasons..

That is why I said that animals are uncorrupted, they only know what is according to their instinct, their desire to stay alive.
