Sounds like the KZN rioters. Life has been much harder since the looted food expired and the shops closed down. The question is, how do you only realise it is wrong after you commited the act. Something is seriously wrong with society. But don't worry, the chicken will come back home to roost.
Lazarus chicken?

Well you need a hen and a rooster to breed... if this was a egg farm then there would be few roosters.

I heard something interesting though this weekend, my friend bought chickens for her little home egg farm and the guy said that he breeds "broilers" and "egg layers" but mostly broilers.
Apparently broilers can be male or female, we eat them so young it doesn't make a difference. I didn't know that, I thought rooster was too tough to eat.
Nah, Cornish or mature birds have tougher meat, same as lamb vs mutton, veal vs beef, just chickens mature really quickly.

Just slow, potjie or pressure cook them. Older birds have richer flavor.

Broilers are rapid growth, large birds, ideal for meat production, egg layers are bred to sustsinably give a egg every 20-26 hours.

Both types can suffer from genetics though if commercial breeds as they target a specific life span.

Understanding the Prisoner's Dilemma​

The typical prisoner's dilemma is set up in such a way that both parties choose to protect themselves at the expense of the other participant. As a result, both participants find themselves in a worse state than if they had cooperated with each other in the decision-making process. The prisoner's dilemma is one of the most well-known concepts in modern game theory.


The prisoner’s dilemma presents a situation where two parties, separated and unable to communicate, must each choose between cooperating with the other or not. The highest reward for each party occurs when both parties choose to co-operate.

It's a case of that a person doesn't want to go loot, but if they don't go loot, they'll be the only person without a chicken, so they go along so they get something instead of nothing.

The next person see's this, and has the same rationale. And so on.

Morality and ethics won't put food on the table, life is also made up of people making good choices and not being recognized - we are all condemning the looters, but the people who are innocent vicitms in the community(and who didn't go loot) mean nothing to us.

I cant help but think of one famous economist who said:

" If you gave each and everyone in the world a chicken, 75% will slaughter their chicken and eat it, 15% will raise them for eggs and 10% will breed them"

This solves nothing for those people, their minds have been infected with the easy pleasures of stealing, little do they know they are digging their own graves. Poor is as poor does.... I feel sorry for them.
But that 25% will also have zip - because the other 75% stole them and ate them.

In the long term, people who behave in a socially compatible way, that is they are behaving morally, are always going to end up being better off than people who take the easy way out. A car mechanic that does the best service possible for their clients will have a much easier time in their life than the skollie who runs a backyard repair shop and just fleeces their clients for a quick buck.

I'm the racist for pointing out the ANC burnt schools?
Nice framing.
Ahem, i believe you said, and i quote.
"South Africa even has a public holiday to celebrate the burning of schools in 1976 while screaming "Liberation before education!" and then blame the whites for lack of education during those years."

Is that what we celebrate ?
Who blamed the whites ?
Also citation for every burning being attributable to ANC members.
Please.

I mean it looks pretty racist in a thread about chickens and job losses.
How did the struggle for human rights become this in your mind ?
Troll is a deflection you use.
Just say you were wrong to reference an entire nation as celebrating burning schools.
Its easy.

Just dont say racist things.
Ok ?

Oh and unless you are a struggle stalwart, you cant comment about the struggle.
As per your rules on SANDF/military/medical/all other fields you are expert in.

You cannot beat a decent human being hard enough to force him to rape someone....that is BS.
And the whole thing about being an mpimpi just proves my point - for that to matter to a person the opinion of the scum living around him/her has to matter.
It's easy to deal with absolutes such as "no decent human being would do that" if you're not in the situation.

I've read stories of people being forced to rape their parents at pain of death and doing so. I don't condemn these people, I feel deeply sorry for them having been put in that situation.

In this case, bring considered an impimpi by Zama Zama can lead to a quick death, or even a necklacing. If someone didn't want to rape and was forced to do so, I wouldn't stand on a soap box and condemn them without bothering to understand their circumstances.
