The missionary who taught our family thought it disgusting that americans eat corn, in Mongolia, at least where he lived, corn was for animals, not humans.Brian and Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554814097193988120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1169723809123937052007-01-25T05:16:00.000-06:002007-01-25T05:16:00.000-06:00I really don’t think that the Mongolian missionar...I really don’t think that the Mongolian missionary has any point at all as a matter of fact all it shows is that he was biased towards another culture that he did not understand , which sees cats as a pet rather than some rodent or something that should be on the menu .<BR/><BR/>Now is the problem the missionaries or the fact that he was not taught or versed correctly on american culture and their affection towards certain animals , I dare say it is the latter .<BR/><BR/>I don’t think the missionary should have commented at all on it. I now it’s only a small thing I mean cats who really cares about them , after all cats really don’t care about humans lol .<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I get tired of missionaries especially the ones that feel they can comment on what they find in your home the type that when your speaking to them , their eyes are wandering around your house trying to take it all in scanning your book shelf to see if everything is ok not to mention your dvd collection.<BR/><BR/>They should never forget they are there as guests nothing else as a matter of fact if they where not members of the church you wouldnt have half of them in your home anyway, personal opinion anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1169701818021073552007-01-24T23:10:00.000-06:002007-01-24T23:10:00.000-06:00My Mongolian friend has a pet cat.My Mongolian friend has a pet cat.Bookslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077778974473538408noreply@blogger.com
