    Do you have any idea how hard it is to get piano lessons as a bear? You can’t even get a job to make money to pay for the lessons. Because you’re a bear.

    We live in a society. A society that was not built to treat bears equally.

      You know I was going to refute your statement… then I remembered we have circus bears, and bears in zoos, as well as “free” bears.

      Completely unfair system.

      Hey, bears at least have constitutional rights to arms, that’s more than any other animal can say.

      23 mauled piano teachers disagree … If the instructor didn’t have to remind the bear to keep up their lessons every week, the bear would be less likely to get mad about it

      reminds me of the improv “Bears gotta get knowledge” on the Dropout show Play It By Ear.

      This one.

    You have to break into a house just to access an instrument, and all people can do is criticize your lack of skill

    Such is the world we live in

      Callous people would call this bear a criminal, for stealing hunny just to feed his kids.

    Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s bad. That could be the Mozart of bear society working on his new piece and you want to say it’s bad because it doesn’t fit your idea of music.

    For some reason, this home looks exactly like what a home that would have a bear break into it would look like.

      It’s actually the bear’s house and the picture is being taken by a girl who broke in to eat his porridge.

    Yeah, I don’t mean to be a snob, but black bears and most dinosaurs are pretty terrible at playing the piano, I’ve noticed. I think they just don’t get many opportunities to practice enough. Plus dinosaur arms are little tiny twiggy things about 2 inches long.
