But Peta says, “Rats just want to live their lives just like all NYC people do.” Is that statement insulting NY’ers or complementing the lives of ordinary rat families?

One of the most annoying things of my current existence on this planet of ours is that I thought life would get better after I just bought a new smart phone. While my new phone works better in may ways, I cannot get replies to my texts from people who have iPhones. I don’t know whether or not this is just a ramification of iPhone aloofness syndrome opposed to my commonplace android system. My carrier can’t figure it out. And I have googled every possible solution on the net to avail. All I now really know is what it feels like to be unwanted.

 

The Answer:

I expect that everybody knew that the iconic movie first seen by the public 75 years ago today “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
