Why Can't I Own a Canadian?

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses 조언 to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned 의해 a east coast resident, which was 게시됨 on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank 당신 for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some 조언 from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
When I burn a 황소, 불 on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this 일 and age, what do 당신 think would be a fair price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can 당신 clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can 당신 settle this?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear 읽기 glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, 또는 is there some wiggle room here?
Most of my male 프렌즈 get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden 의해 Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 의해 planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife 의해 wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know 당신 have studied these things extensively, so I am confident 당신 can help. Thank 당신 again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted fan,
Jim

I missed my chance.. I'm always one 년 behind in this show.. But now that their showing every episode in order, to prepare for the new season 7, so I'm getting my chance.
I'm so excited, especially cause it has Steven Ogg in it now. (AKA, this guy).
It's pretty easy to say that Grand Theft Auto did a lot for this guy, cause now just about everyone knows who he is.
It's weird how he always protrays nutcase's like Trevor, when the real Steve Ogg is such a nice guy from what I can tell.
But still, the guy that portrayed Trevor Phillips.
How can that NOT be awesome for the dark, violent, nature of a show like Walking Dead?
Where, even someone as kind hearted as Rick Grimes has murdered people in cold blood, in newer seasons he doesn't even feel remorse anymore.
But, yeah.. Steve Ogg.. I'm excited :)
