Wow! Chinchilla fur is so dense that fleas would suffocate if they try to live there! To achieve her 16 inch waist, Pixee Fox had six ribs removed! Milwaukee, Wisconsin, once tested cheese brine to keep city roads from freezing!
More From Ripley's Believe It or Not
So Night Gaunt49, let me get this straight. John Day and gobin56 should not express an opinion about Pixee surgically removing 6 ribs to satisfy her vanity. But it is perfectly OK for you to express your opinion about John Day and gobin49 having an opinion. Hogwash! Both John Day and gobin56 are entitled to stating their valid opinions. Ribs ARE necessary to protect the lungs, if you don’t have them, you don’t have their protection. Other examples of protection are seatbelts, dust masks, face shields, steel toed work shoes, and football helmets etc. As far as your opinion that anyone should be able to do anything they want to their own body; that depends on what the thing is. We can’t fix stupid but we can legislate people from doing life altering idiotic things and punish those who help others do stupid things. As a civil society we are compelled to instruct and protect our citizens from doing stupid stuff because a society thrives or fails in a direct relationship of its citizens contributions. If you truly care about people, you stop them from doing stupid things. Only the callous and cold hearted encourage bad behavior.
