sihiya,
Because I am trying to learn, how this relate to the ozone?

RicksReefs · #**127** 11/04/2005, 02:33 PM

oh, and since sugar is subsidised by the feds, they have to buy
any excess sugar that can't be sold, then let it rot because there's
to much of it.

big sugar just plowed under another 100,000 acres to grow more
sugar. (they get twice the world price from uncle sam, so why not)

last I knew, that is what happens with the tobacco farmers too--started a long, long time ago (my grandfather owned a tobacco farm in Tennessee).

Wow! I don't eat meat 'cause I choose not to. Don't keep HS 'cause I'm too cheap to buy live starfish for food. I personally like wearing leather and drinking orange juice. I prefer not to commit suicide.

Wow, life stinks! Maybe I'll just move into a small hole and consume lots and lots of beer (I brew it myself, does that count for anything?)

That's all well and good but you can't deny the fact that you produce waste which is dumped into our rivers and oceans. Like it or not, you too are part of the circle of life that is helping to destroy the environment! Argue all you want about what's right or wrong about everybody else's diet and other practices but unless you plug it up, you're at fault too!

1/2 of methane is released by the production of 1 lb. of beef. To put that in perspective... 15% of methane released comes form pigs and cows.

So yes, all their farting is destroying the ozone.

You too should drink more beer!

AGAIN.... its about choosing the lesser of two evils... and agriculture is lesser by about 90%.

Methane is smelly, too many carrots turn your skin orange.

Beer is good food!

This public service announcement has been brought to you by my boredom at work.

And that's great but that's not really the issue at this point. The issue is that we omnivores are tired of being blamed for destroying the earth! I don't care about anybody else's life choices as long as they keep their opinions out of my dinner plate!

Only if you show me your tattoos! Oh, wait, that may not be ethical either!

sihaya · #**142** 11/04/2005, 02:49 PM

It's like the difference between driving a mini cooper and an ford excursion.... yes, they both pollute, but one pollutes a LOT less.

Let's see, I guess somewhere close to $.65. Couldn't have taken more than a minute to post, I don't think.

Hrmm, let me think about that one...

OK...yes!

That remindes me, I have to go get another tattoo soon. I got a gift certificate last X-Mas that expires this X-mas. Hrmm...maybe I'll get a harlequin shrimp eating a starfish!

But what about all the gas that vegetarians produce?

"Beans and peas are famous for their gas produce effects. This is because they contain large amounts of complex carbohydrate, which pass into the colon largely unabsorbed. However, beans and peas are not the only potential culprits. Troublesome foods may include vegetables of the cabbage family such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower. You can add to that list asparagus, cucumber, onions, turnip, peppers, garlic, melons, spicy foods and cheeses such as Roquefort, Brie and other strong cheeses. "

Make sure that the tattoist only uses vegetable based ink!

Sihaya,

Do you have a fish tank?

Naah..I like the stuff with lead in it! I mean, more lead under my skin means less in the environment, right?

I still can't find any tattoos on this picture, are they on your back?

Right!! And less in the paint for you to chew off the windowsill to boot!

I can't believe you posted that picture....I told you that I look awful without my coffee in the morning!
