Bear Enthusiasts, a Rare Breed

For example, I've learned a lot about lions and leopards by reading blogs written by the people who work with them, and these are pieces that sometimes show a more accurate side of their life than, say, a documentary. 

In comparison, most of what I know about bears, that isn't much I have to say, comes from a few documentaries, and a little bit learned here, and that's it. So I think sometimes little knowledge means one gets less close to that animal. 

Consider the case of tje jaguar, the biggest cat here in Argentina. It's a beautiful, majestic animal, more muscular, bigger and stronger than the leopard. And yet, I like leopards much more because I know so much more about leopards than I do about jaguars.

On a final note, I'm not someone that likes to talk about something I don't know, so I refrain myself of doing so, except for making questions.

But @brotherbear , don't worry. I do like bears, my favourite is the Grizzly bear, the Black bear in second place. I may be more quiet about it, but I really enjoy bears. They present such a contrast than the cat, that is more about balance. The bear is all about power and raw strenght. Big, thick, and huge. Amazing animals.

I am back, guys! Plus, I do agree with everything you said Majingilane. My parents and I were in a huge financial trouble regarding my dad's company known as Micron. 

Basically, what happened was that Micron brought a corrupt share from an unidentified Chinese technological company specializing in computer chips, and the end result: all members and employees of Micron were charged 300,000 each for buying an unincorporated stock (my dad's boss actually bought the illegal stock but he wasn't charged, and I do not know why they didn't charge him for the crime.)

This turn of events, of course, riddled both my dad's banking accounts. He couldn't keep up with our house's mortgages and with this we went bankrupt. The computer, house, and phones (basically any assets we owned) were taken by the foreclosure agency. (which is one reason why I haven't been able to reply.) I also had to pay to use the internet service at my local library, and that service is quite expensive.

Luckily now, my Dad retrieved a lawyer and filed charges against his boss and Micron for allowing the unincorporated stock to charge his bank accounts, and the court case is still in the process.

Both my parents bought a house (albeit much smaller, but still roomy), and now I have the technology capable to communicate with you guys without paying for any sort of service. 

It's been a long journey this one and a half past month, and I hope my Dad gets his 300,000 back from winning the case.  Reply
