“Europeans used to sodomise animals”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_and_cultural_perspectives_on_zoophilia

A cave painting (photograph) from at least 8000 BC in the Northern Italian Val Camonica[4] “depicts a man complete with full erection standing behind a female deer.

Obviously my comments are "unsourced ancedotes" - they are my ancedotes. I don't pretend to have any deeper knowledge than that. I didn't say that Chinese students are stupid, just that in my experience lazy and propaganda spewing. It is a shame. Certainly plenty of people plagiarise. I don't recall arguing that China is unique in this. Nevertheless I didn't think these charges were bad enough to warrant the spleen and the attempt to insult me by saying that Europeans used to sodomise animals. As Fat Cat said reading carefully what people write will be helpful. And again, I am not an American. Anyway I won't reply to any of ferins' comments, as it seems to merely wind him/her up further I probably shouldn’t reply – but just for the record.
