Hi everybody,

I was doing a random Google search for Ball Pythons and came across the following post. Yes, this is a real post from another message board. I will post a link to the original in a moment.

I've always wondered what the motivation is behind keeping a snake for a "pet". Usually the snake chosen is a poisionous or otherwise dangerous variety such as a python.
Is it to feel powerful over family, neighbors, enemies. Unless some one is acting like a kenite, or one live in a dangerous ' hood, I see no reason to need that much feeling of power over others.
People that own a python or some other dangerous snake, do act irresponsible when the snake becomes too expensive or too much to take care of. They just let it go; either flushing it down the toilet or dumping it out in the yard or woods.
Then it does become dangerous for everyone else and it is very evil.
Too many people have dumped pythons and other dangerous snakes in Florida after they've grown bored with them and now they're a threat to everyone that comes in contact with them including our wild life.
Yeah, it's evil to dump a snake out into the enviroment that can hurt others.
I also believe that this is a gang type activity; keeping a dangerous snake.
Why should a Christian be a part of a gang?
How would you feel if the neighbor next door had a snake?

Amazing, eh? The original post can be found here: Are Snakes Evil? (Post #6)

The poster has more to say in another follow-up post. I've always understood that there are people who enjoy speaking with authority about subjects on which they are completely ignorant, but... wow. At least somebody on the boards tried to set him/her straight but... again, WOW.

What is the worst experience any of you have had in dealing with uneducated people's ignorance?
