Ärende: Dealing With Bullies
============================
Hello David,

 JD>>>>> Yes, I am aware, just not aware which ones they are at the moment.

 LL>>>> Kangaroo courts always claim to give defendants a fair trial
 LL>>>> before the condemned are convicted.  And then after the sentence
 LL>>>> has been carried out the kangaroo court tells the crowd that
 LL>>>> justice has been done.  See how that works?

 DD>>> I might - but from my observations of kangaroos they have no court
 DD> system
 DD>>> what so ever - they just kick the shit out of each other.

 LL>> At least they carry around their own punching bag.

 DD> Are you referring to the pouch in the belly of the females?

Don't all kangaroos have a pouch?

 DD> The males do all of the fighting (that I've seen), they do not have
pouches.

Alligators do not have pouches.  But they do have teeth.
And huge jaws.  Not sure if males do all the fighting.  Not
sure if I want to find out, either.

 DD> Females, once of breeding age, almost always have a joey in their pouch at
 DD> some form of development.

Alligators lay eggs.  But I make sure never to even come close
to those eggs, knowing an alligator is probably somewhere not very
far away.

 DD> When the joey is very young, if they're having a bad season food wise,
 DD> development of that joey is put on hold for the duration of the drought.

An alligator will remain where it is, stationary, for long periods
of time, until it is ready for its meal.  If an alligator spots you,
and it is hungry, it is best to run away.  However, if you do not
know how to run away from an alligator, the alligator will probably
get its meal, as alligators can run quite fast when they are truly
hungry.

 DD> The female can be carrying one joey in a very early stage of development
 DD> plus one nearly ready to leave the pouch and make a life of its own.

Can you raise a joey as a pet?  I tried to raise a baby alligator
one time.  But then it started getting too big for the bathtub.
Removing an alligator from a bathtub and back into the wild is
not as easy as it sounds.  First you have to find somebody to help
you do it.  One person has to grab one end while the other person
grabs the other end.  If you think an alligator has sharp teeth
and powerful jaws, you do not know the power of an alligator
tail.  That tail will bust you up worse than any bite could do.
