first off dont like != hate
to better explain my point, im puting in an exerpt of a tool song

And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus.

maynards pretty brainy, and he has a way of explaining things to even the most brain dead of stoners. :Di have just harvested a small patch of my boss's potatoes. which i did most of the work. mixing dirt with a roto tiller, and digging all those foot deep holes, and in the piss poor south-east alaskan rain. anyway i got to take home anything that got stabbed.  i should understand that eating those potatoes was like eating my own children (after bathing them in the fry daddy of course). although they made an attractive side dish to my lemon pepper pork chops, it still saddend me to consume them, but only about as much as eating the other white meat. when a vegan assumes that the pig has a soul, why do they not assume the same for the potato? though a potato is a far cry from a human, who is to say that the potato has no feelings. i find this quite arrogant way of thinking. just because it is a veritable does not mean it hasnt the right to live, damn you people make me sick!

anyone who has seen the last episode of mythbusters, knows that peas grow better when they are talked to nicely, and really good when listening to death metal (anyone know what band that was, i need to d/l some mp3s). this is why those young people who feel that life is tyrany have to listen to death metal otherwise theyd kill themselves. any pea that lives to serve humans with their demise would feel the same way, unfortunately a pea cannot kill itself. when they listen to death metal it makes them feel beter about themselves and thus grow better. i feel sorry for those damn peas.

it really doesnt matter, because soon i will execute my final solution to the human problem.

[Singh]

good point in a sense, but sorry, i'd still take my Vegetables anyday.

(not that I eat much anyway....)

[mrfun]

Hahahahah at the mythbusters thing, that was hilarious.  Talking to plants makes them grow better: "plausible" rofl who would've thought

for the guy who asked PETA is people for the ethical treatment of animals, ask Penn & Teller about it.  They like to blow up medical research facilities and teach people how to make bombs out of plastic bottles.

As for the african nations rejecting the bioengineered corn, they were right on and had good reasons.  A friend of mine was in Malawe wit hthe Peace Corps at the time, a country that accepted the corn.  All the kernels were coated in the green fertilizer stuff, and people died because they didn't believe the authorities when they said it was for planting only and ground it into green flour.  Also the engineered stuff didn't produce fertille seed (because the bio company wants you to buy more, obviously, except this was donated to a third world nation that could never do any such thing), so any farmers that planted were totally ****ed the next season because they had no seed for another crop.  All in all a really ****ty situation and not something you wanted to be involved in.

Greenpeace was wrong about it killing you and being wierd mutations and stuff, and they should all be tied to a tree and beaten with a stick, but they were right about not using the corn.  It grew into perfectly healthy corn, it just trashed the economy of the entire country when it only grew once.

On the vegan issue, there are some people with legitimate medical reasons to be vegitarians.  Those folks are ok.  For all the people who do it because they don't want to kill cute fuzzy animals, why don't you take a stand on a serious moral issue or join the peace corps and donate your time and skills to helping feed starving people, instead of whining about my hamburger.  You can whine after you've earned the right to.

[kasperl]

I don't mind vegitarians, as long as they don't stop me from eating meat. Mind, in some restaurants, I'd rather take the veggy meal instead of the meat, but that's just suspicious meat. Now, if the entire globe would shift to being vegetarian, we'd save a lot of food. Eh? A cow eats more foodstuffs then the meat will give. So if we only hate those that were used for milk production and then got too old, and/or only let them graze on land were the ground is too poor to produce grain, we'd be able to feed a decent sized third world country. Mind, to do this, some other stuff needs to happen first, and that isn't looking like it's going to happen.

On the other hand, vegetarians who buy leather hats/coats are way offf. Shoes, I might be able to understand for the single reason that non-leather hiking shoes and whatever are bloody near impossible to get, but leather coats and stuff, that's just off.

Firstly: It's their own stupid fault for not listening to simple goddamn instructions. You could give them bottles of water and they could all die from inhaling it, so should we not send them water? It's common goddamn sense if someone hands you seeds that you've never seen before and tells you not to do something with them, you don't ****ing do it.

Secondly: One crop is better than no crop.

[Nuke]

i didnt even give my pleather rant, how rude of me. manufacture of synthetic materials pollutes the atmosphere. real leather, like the kind i wear, lasts forever, and is rather cost effective, and furthermore does not pollute the atmosphere. i dont even want to know what chemical compounds pleather is composed of, and im sure it produces toxic fumes when burned. and besides pleather is totally gay, a non-gay person has no buisness wearing pleather.

ok, no more tequilla for me

[kasperl]

About the leather thing, you know how much methane a cow/pig produces by farting? More then heavy industry.

And the path from skin to leather is quite chemicly enhanced too. We don't piss in a barrel no more, so the stuff as to come from somewhere.

[Flipside]

1 human being emits as much CO2 per day as about half a European car A Cow emits something like 15 times that, not including Methane. These are both 'greenhouse' gasses.

[kasperl]

As for the methane, if a vet is smoking while looking at the cows arse for some reason, and the cow farts, the vet just lost his moustache. And if there is a haystack near, bye bye farm.

Vegan != vegetarian.

Vegans are either people from the Vega star system or people who don't believe in eating anything that came from an animal. That doesn't mean just no meat. It also means no eggs and no dairy products.  Due to the fact that this diet would eventually kill you from malnutrition they are forced to eat vitamin suppliments to make up for the nutrients not present in their food.

Either way the term describes someone not living on this planet.

[Black Wolf]

Random though: I'd respect Greenpeace if they bought a submarine and started torpedoing Japanese whaling/shark fishing ships.

[an0n]

No, you wouldn't. You mourn them.

The Japanese hate war, but if you **** with their stuff they'll still blow the **** outta you.

[Flipside]

Well, as Billy Connoly said about French Nuclear tests in the Caribbean...

'Have they found some kind of use for glow in the dark seaweed?!'

Whilst I agree with the basic principles of conservation, and not abusing resources which are becoming more and more obviously finite, I think responsibility is more called for than the Evolutionary equivalent of 20 Hail Mary's for humanity

[an0n]

I think we should pre-empt the inevitable downfall of civilization and appoint me ruler of the Earth before the roaches take over.

I don't wanna have to learn to speak in clicks and hisses.

[Flipside]

You can lead the resistance, lead Elite hunt and spray squads.

[Annihilation]

It's just a matter of being smart you see, unless you bought some land on moon or mars from the same guy who sold you the golden gate this planet is the only one where we can live. Not a very smart move for a species if they let their homeworld die with them trapped on it. Who needs shivans?

[an0n]

Who needs the homeworld when we have the technology to leave it behind.

If it weren't for all the slackers and wasters and those who wish to do no work and live a life of luxury, this world could be a paradise.

This is why I advocate eugenics.

Basic theory of communism: get everyone off their asses and working. Nobody sits around and does no work; if they do, they starve.

But then, even the best theories fall to the corrupted practices of the human race. Nothing short of wide-scale disaster and a general problem that affects us directly will stop this.

[Flipside]

We may well supply our own inertia in that case
