Are you referring to the shrimp, the meat eating or the flagellation?

I like pizza. I like bagels. I like hot-dogs with mustard and beer. I could eat egg-plants. I could even eat a baby deer.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Who's that baby deer on the lawn, over there?

Geez, it's kinda like a broken record, isn't it? So, how does that "Ignore" function work again? Just out of curiosity, what are your shoes made from?

Mea culpa, mea culpa...I'm eating veal for dinner. Annick, self-flaggelation is preferable over self-flatulation.

Click on "My RC" then "Edit Ignore List" then type in "Sihaya" into one of those white text boxes... that should do it.

God I love this place.

Were any animals injured in the making of RC?
I hope whoever wrote the software didn't eat any meat while doing so. Hopefully the trucks delivering the servers didn't hit anything!

Which pair? My plastic flipflops... or the sneakers I wear to class everyday?

But if you were hoping they were made of leather, well, they're not. And even if they were... leather is a by-product of the meat industry. The economic demand for leather will not likely ever surpass the demand for beef. For that reason, any vegetarian could make a respectable defense against this/her purchase of leather shoes. I, personally, just don't like the smell.

Trying to understand...

Man ate meat before it was a commercial enterprise. My ancestors ate buffulo, and not only used the meat, but used almost every piece of that buffulo to make their existance easier.

Is your difficulty with this because we now breed them vs. catching wild ones?

Again, trying to understand...

Any idea of what plastic is made from? Petrochemicals... Any idea where that came from? Decaying animals.... mmmmm..... I see...

wearing non-biodegradeable plastic is much better for the environment...

What?! It's not like they killed a lot of animals, piled them up and waited for the petrochemicals to form. lol Besides that... it's completely impractical (and often times not even environmentally favorable) to live without plastic.

Anyway... I'm done with this conversation. Attacking me isn't going to change the truth even if it does relieve your conscience. So I'd prefer not to encourage the behavior...

well, since your the one that attacked all meat eaters with
no 'truth' to it, i hope your conscience is relieved. it's your
views that are out of the loop, and when called on it, you
scurry away, claiming some moral superiority.
blah, meat good, vegemite bad.
me, i'm fine with being what i was born to be.
i sleep well on a full belly of prime rib...*buuuuurp!*


sea urchin gonads are only good if they're
raised in bio-assay marine mix...

Dude, I never attacked anyone... I made that clear in one of my earlier post... the one that says something about making your own moral judgements about these things.

your obtuse commentary is pretty clear to me. 'we need to make
our own moral judgements' about these things indicates to me
that you feel your on a superior moral ground than the rest of us
that do consume meat. IMO, whether or not you eat meat has
nothing to do with morality, it's a personal choice, and i'm all for
personal choice, but when you attempt to denegrate the rest of
humanity because we don't agree with you is a direct blow to
any 'morality' you have.
