PETA Wants Higher Insurance Premiums For Meat Eaters

[Stanley Burrell]

I dunno, I usually just give my scarabs to the locksmith. If I have seven boxes that need picking, and there are 5 scarabs in total, I might take the last one. Only if it's quite a few boxes and a jillion scarabs fall (that go to the picker, first.)

ROFL.







If that was an accident, it was freakin hilarious anyway.

Do vegans have a book that teaches you this retarded nonsense, or do you come up with gems like "using tools to hunt proves we are herbivores" all by yourself?

True vegetarians only eat vegetables they pick themselves (BY HAND), not the vegetables that those filthy farmers plant/harvest with their satan machines (tractors).

[Clove]

Some Buddhists only eat vegetables in such a manner as not to kill or severely damage the plant.

There's a funny song by Guttermouth called Veggicide whose subject is exactly that.

Based on what are our bodies not fit for meat consumption? Last I checked, humans have incisors, which are specifically for cutting flesh. Of course our bodies take longer to digest meat. Any animal that eats meat takes longer to digest their food than a herbivore. The nutritional value argument is pure bullshit, we can get our nutrients from either source, and is generally best from a combination of both.

Why is it when I take a shit after eating corn, do I see corn in my crap? It's like I didn't digest that vegetable fully or something weird....

[CrystalTears]

Heck sometimes you'll see corn even when you didn't eat corn.

Wait, what?

Just to throw it out there, there is such a thing as an XX male. Figured you guys would find it interesting.
Yeah, that is interesting. I've heard this condition described in various ways, though. Sometimes the person is said to be a male with no Y chromosomes; sometimes the person is said to be a female with male genitalia/appearance.

In any case, the analogy would work just as well with "does not become pregnant" replacing "lacks a Y chromosome," etc.

XXY is klinefelter's and is just a nondisjunction event.

XXY is klinefelter's and is just a nondisjunction event.Naw I think they're referring to La Chapelle syndrome or some shit.

As opposed to a board troll who seems to run to the argument to take part in it just to hear her own insults (and never any actual good points?).

Speaking the truth doesn't make me a troll. :D


For someone so critical of this thread, you sure have invested a lot of time in it.

I have 5 posts in this thread out of over 260. You have 54. I think not, mmkay?

To call what we have incisors is laughable. Our jaw motions are that of herbivores (no shearing, we go side to side and front to back. Omnivores shear, as do carnivores), our jaw musculature is well developed (standard for herbivores- we have to chew more than omnivores and carnivores do), we have high ph stomach acids (omnivores and carnivores both have around a ph of 1), our incisors are dull unlike omnivores and carnivores who have sharp and curved incisors (note: the primates with the largest incisors are both herbivores, the animal with the largest incisors is the hippo- an herbivore. The whole "we have incisors and are therefore carnivores thing couldn't be any less grounded in reality), and we have herbivore nails (which are flat and not used for tearing- unlike omnivores and carnivores).

And yes, we can get nutrients from a lot of things. Cats can get some nutrients from the corn meal in their pet food, but they're not omnivores.

I'm not sure who you're kidding here, but you are the definition of a board troll. We all know it, no need to deny it. And funny that you say you have 5 posts in this thread: how many of them are actually about the subject matter of this thread? And how many of them are just insults? Do tell o great board troll.

Typical PETARD argument. Typical "you're a PETARD" response.

Most people don't eat soy meat and vegetables all the time because it doesn't suit their palate. Most "Vegan restaurants" such as veggie heaven, sunflower, or such, have a menu mainly comprised of food that I can best describe as tasting like horseshit mixed with pig cum.

A Petard arguing about the moral responsibility of others and how they are being bad by eating meat holds about as much water as an an Islamic militant cleric telling people to blow shit up to do god's work and be moral. Yea, thats right, PETA endorses blowing up buildings, arson, domestic terrorism and killing animals. That's right. Necro loves an organization that claims to be fighting for animal rights, but puts down thousands of pets a year, and doesn't even give the animals or local environment the respect of burning the bodies, but rather uses the local dumpsters.

hey, look, PETA's medical advisory board, which does it's medical research doesn't even have licensed doctors doing the research! Yay, random starbucks cashiers and A&P shelf stockers telling us about health!

http://www.consumerfreedom.com/article_detail.cfm/article/168

Hey, PETA's been linked as a domestic terrorist group in the US Senate! Yay! and they are listed on the domestic terrorist watchlist by the FBI!

So wait, what exactly did Peta say this time?

I'm familiar with PCRM- it's a non-profit organization. So much of the BS you just listed is so insanely skewed it's not even funny.

PCRM has actual medical researchers (and no, they're not ALL doctors because not ALL people involved in the process of medical research are doctors), but it's also a standard NGO with staff members who are not doctors who do a variety of work ranging from administrative tasks to marketing. This isn't exactly shocking. Their strong campaigns against animal testing in research have earned them the ire of some organizations (*cough* AMA *cougH*), but they have still received grants from the NIH, National Cancer Institute, and have worked with the ADA (Diabetes not Disabilities).

And yes, the Senate tried to add PCRM to the list of terrorist organizations. This was heavily criticized (they tried to throw a LOT of animal rights groups on there...just for being animal rights groups), and it was post 9/11 when a lot of organizations and individuals were ending up on terrorist lists where they didn't belong- including gay rights organizations, mainstream environmental organizations, and professors who dared to criticize US Foreign Policy. This is a time that says a lot about us as a nation and nothing about the people on those lists (for the record, *I'M* on one of those lists that was declassified later because I helped out with an anti-war rally at Stanford)

And the whole "they put thousands of animals down" argument is probably the most skewed of all of your BS skewed points. PETA was taking in animals from people who didn't want them, yes, but any *adoptable* pets (no chronically sick or dying) were referred out to regular animal shelters. Meanwhile, shelters would send the sick or dying pets to PETA. So PETA was keeping the animals that weren't adoptable- terminally ill, in pain, etc, and ever other pet was being routed to alternate sites. To PETA, what they were doing was euthanasia- something most member of PETA undoubtedly believe is moral. Yes, dogs with cancer or who were on the verge of death were put down to end their suffering. But of course the fact that PETA was routing all adoptable pets to other sites somehow never makes it into this argument. People like you ("PETARD- I'm so fucking clever!") just leap on anything that looks bad for an organization you don't like and run with it instead of getting all of the facts.

And, out of curiosity, what does any of this have to do with whether or not we're herbivores? I mean, honestly, if PETA and PCRM (Two DIFFERENT organizations by the way- though PCRM was initially started by people involved with PETA- as were MANY animal rights groups in this country) were actually everything you said they were...what does that have to do with human physiology? How many facts from PCRM did I use to support that idea? From PETA? Any? At all? If there's a "tard" here- it's not PETA, and it's not me...it would be the fool who actually seems incapable of looking at an argument on its merit but rather thinks the best mode is to attack two potential sources for that argument even if they weren't actual sources.
That's all today for "Half Truths = America!" Tune in next week.

This is epic box. Epic box is epic.

Consequently, I believe you're right about Nihilium already having everything cleared in beta, so it's no surprise that they cleared everything in live on the first weekend. For some reason I forgot about beta when I made my post, but as has been said, the Naxx strats are the same, just with the numbers adjusted, and that's been cleared for years. Perhaps Tamral will give us his analysis.

I can't wait to get a motorcycle mount. I'm also tempted to switch back to tailoring for a flying carpet mount.

I'm buying a motorcycle made out of the recycled guts of lambs. On it, will be the large letters sewn from baby seal eyes that read, "SUCK MY CROTCHROCKET PETA."

If I had a set of nuts, I'd probably leather out a motorcycle for real though. Maybe wear some chaps made out of veal. Dunno about Naxx strats though.
