im a 20 year old who earns 100 bucks a paycheck working for his family, trying to live out the American dream. why don't you send me a 1000 dollars to help me afford gas and living. or how bout your local homeless guy. for a thousand bucks you could clean him up, buy him a suit and a hotel for a few days... just that little push to help him get a job. im sure any school would gladly take that money off your hands. theres soooo many better uses for a thousand bucks than a stupid cup.]]>Apr 30th 2007 3:29PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 3:35PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/May 15th 2007 8:35PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/sure, they may be long and gone, but have you actually thought about what your posting? if u dont like the idea, then dont buy the drink!! its not like they make buy it! sure, there are all sorts of homeless people in america, but what really all comes down to is, how is 2 nights in a nice hotel (prices nowadays) and some fast food or a nice dinner going to do for them. true food is a nice delicacy for someone with no money in their pockets, but in the end, the person is gonna have a nice night and then be out on the street again! horses are living things you know! im not going to take the position of tree hugger or hardcore hunter on this one, but really, knock some sense into yourselfs! these horses are worked to the bone day in and day out, and really, when you think about it, its not the jockey who wins, its the horse! how would you like if you were a runner and one season you do badly, someone calls you old, kills you, and eats you. overall, im really disturbed by the dumbness of some of these comments. its called humanity and college.]]>Apr 30th 2007 4:19PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/
"...these horses are worked to the bone day in and day out..."

"how would you like if you were a runner and one season you do badly, someone calls you old, kills you, and eats you"

now let me ask you this... how would you like it if you worked for a living, then one day you made a mistake and got fired. with no job, you couldnt afford to pay the rent and got kicked out. with no place to live you wound up on the streets....

yeah, poor horses. oh, and by the way, it doesn't have to be a "nice" hotel. im sure someone on the streets wouldn't mind if they were put up in a motel 6 for a week.



and jess. docent the process of breeding cost some sort of money? and if so, why doesn't the price cover the cost of the horse's living? that just seems like bad business to me.]]>Apr 30th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 5:23PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 10:01PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/May 2nd 2007 1:44PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 5:52PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/Apr 30th 2007 6:30PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/
Horses have been around to aid us in our time of need when traveling the world and discovering new places for us to live in. They've been here for beginning entertainment when we didn't have tv to watch them race on or drool over delicious food that homeless people can't afford. They weren't useless then, and aren't useless now. Some people prefer to live the nice life with a ranch and a few animals. That's their choice. Other's choose to spend countless billions of dollars getting themselves drunk off expensive drinks and lazing around.

Personally, if you people want to turn animals into kabobs, then do it yourself. Let's see if you have the guts to do something like that to an animal. Animals have feelings, as do people. I'd like to see you take your cute little kitten or puppy and turn it into food just because it widdled on your 1,000,000 dollar carpet.

BUT OH~ WAIT! You people only pity yourselves if you got yourself into that predicament. You get thrown out into the streets because you lose a job? Face it, it's life. You're officially an animal on the streets, starving to get some food and a nice home. You've worked all your life pleasing others in hopes you'll be put down nicely. Yeah. Think in terms of the animals, dipshits.

Homeless people put that on themselves, some don't mean to, other's can't help it, but they themselves can change that. McDonald's will offer just about anyone if they're willing to work. Human's have the ability to adapt to their surroundings and change their lives the way they want it. Animals don't. They live, graze, and die or depend on humans to do that for them if they're a tamed beast.

Humans and animals co-exist on this planet for a reason. Can't live with one, can't live without. I'd truly like to see someone treat an animal cruely and still live and work a day after without the thought of that animal haunting their mind's forever.]]>May 9th 2007 8:26PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/
1. the homeless people was just an example, everyone needs to stop focusing on just that.

2. i love animals, but you people need to stop treating them like humans. because... well, they are not.


i have no problem with charity and helping out animals, what i do have a problem with is when its pointless.

I'll go back to what i said before, someone answer this... do these retired horses still make money for their owners through breeding? if so, how come they need charity? ]]>Apr 30th 2007 7:09PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/http://www.luxist.com/2007/04/19/1-000-mint-juleps-return-to-the-kentucky-derby/If you like horses and animals, donate to them.
If you like hobos, get them a motel 6.
But seriously, let everyone have their own opinion]]>Apr 30th 2007 7:25PM
