"It's supposed to bother you. If it doesn't, you have issues." Oh oh... I feel as though I may have issues... could you please explain this statement. Ohh.... doobie doobie doo……………the Washington post sold a few papers that day, eh! Ha! Hmm… ... "the events (the violent tortuous deaths) may have been staged by 'activists trying to raise money and promote their agenda'.” … "Washington state officials launched a probe in May that included an unannounced plant inspection. The investigators say they were detained outside the facility for an hour while their identities were checked. They saw no acts of animal cruelty” … “most plants were complying with the law.” Do you think the Post would sell many papers if their articles didn’t take issues to the extreme. 95 per cent of that article is shock value. Shock sells. That article is moot, baby… tell it to my journalism degree. I’d rather discuss Spiderman vs. Batman. Peter Parker’s a chump, man! Bruce Wayne? Ladies man. Almost all of the info regarding this issue is biased: Animal-rights groups are very formidable, and they have their duplicitous hands in every media outlet, and they are disguised very well… this article is an example. They know the power of shock. Little 14 year-old girls from Sarasota are very easily persuaded by graphic images, not to mention, they’re gullible, and have a tremendous ability to regurgitate propaganda. IT’S A FREAKIN' SLAUGHTERHOUSE! You want them to hire Martha Stewart, grow some flowers, some tulips, put a hot apple pie on the window sill, make the place look pretty and all feng shui? Sign a petition, let's get the Trading Spaces team down to your local slaughterhouse. argh. Humans are meant to eat meat (but they don’t have to and I respect their decision) (now respect ours, dammit)… if it was counter-productive we would’ve died long long ago. You think caveman was a vegetarian? And meat will stay in your bowels for a week if meat is all you eat. Should you be a normal person with a healthy diet/happy digestive juices, meat, according to the Physiology of Digestion (a medical book) takes a good 3-4 hours to digest, after which it shall smoothly travel yer intestines with the rest of your well-balanced diet. Quit eating Doritos and have a banana. umm.... yeah. If you hate me because I eat meat then you don't deserve to be on my ship of friends. That may not mean much to you, but, keep hating and you will not be allowed to board any ship of friends. BLT's are the bomb, baby... the bomb!
Freedom is something that can be defined in many ways, it can mean many different things to different people. To me, freedom could be classed as living without government, a free people, able to live in a harmonious fashion...more harmonious than now, anyway. As nice as that would be, in time, humanity isn't really ready for living without government. Imagine how people would react? The majority of society is too dependant on said government, and things would get hysterical. Its a beautiful dream, and one that in time, may arise
When you see aweful pictures like that, if it's something that really bothers you (which as a living thing I sort of think it should) all you can do is vow to make a difference... help those other more unfortunate-mistreated creatures that we all take for granted...and hey if you a human rights person this thread could just as easily contain similer pictures of starving children that would be equaly disterbing and prove a similer point, don't shout about people being more important then animals, we all share this earth together...just help them too...oppression and cruelty hurts all living things subject to it, thats why it's important that we try to lead everybody to freedom, not just ourselves and our close kin...
People don't know, people don't care. Sometimes I don't know why I come here. The fact isn't that omnivores, you, or anyone else bother me. It's just that people get caught up in the nonsense of photos. People don't know, and if they do, often, they just don't give a shit. I stand where I stand, you stand where you stand. I don't care about you. I don't care about what you do in your own time. Just please respect the rights of others. And not just humans either. YOU AREN'T THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS PLANET.
are you saying everyone should not kill animals and eat meat when you say 'things have rights not just humans respect them'
man you sound like the president with all the fucking implying your doing. when you say make it a good experience for others, do you mean not killing animals and eating animals?
It's right in there!! "do as you please"... just make it a good experience for others. That defines it plain and simple and if you have problems comprehending, i'm going to pass a no hippy left behind act.
ok you fucking politician. does killing an animal to eat it constitute as making a good expeirnece for other living things?
That depends on how it is killed and what you take from it. I know plenty of hunters who take the tender meat and throw the rest out.
ok so at what point are you telling me how to live my life? am i ok if i buy a certain kind of meat? or what?
Nope, i'm reminding people to try to be more conscious of things other than themselves.... it's not about you, it's about everything overall.
so you ARE telling me how to live my life(while sounding like a politician at the same time!). just checking.
Nope, i'm telling you to do as you please, but there's other people here too. I'm actually attempting to reccomend you being a bit less self conscious/egotistical...
Freedom is peace. Freedom is peace of mind. Freedom is to do what you want to do. Freedom is no more persecution. Freedom is sharing the land. Freedom is getting together. Freedom is having somebody to love. Freedom is love. Freedom is poetry. Freedom is beauty. Freedom is a blue sky, sun shiny day. Freedom is a deep breath of country air. Freedom is a cool breeze from the north. Freedom is driving down the highway in a VW, blaring some good tunes. Freedom is protesting what you believe is wrong. Freedom is choice. Freedom is free-spiritedness. Freedom is enjoying what you like to do.
If I only had a nickel for every time that was said... To tell you the truth, I enjoy politics... I've actually set 2 records in S.S. classes and i'm the first to get 600/600 on SOLs in five years in ... or since SOLs started in Gloucester... but...... I do like government, law... etc... I just don't like what comes with it. To tell you the truth, I really need to get away from the title that comes with it and just go with my own thing and not care about the stereotypes, you know, you've got to break away from it.
Freedom is woman. Freedom is man. Freedom is God. Freedom is Life. Freedom is Death. Freedom is Happiness. Freedom is Sadness. Freedom is Pure Emotion. Freedom is Trustworthyness. Freedom is Mistrust. Freedom is Religion. Freedom is Superstition. Freedom is not Government. Freedom is Safety in Numbers. Freedom is Shelter. Freedom is Everything. Freedom is nothing.
