Animals Are Not Ours To Wear

You know, for someones whos seems like an advocate for neutrality, you sure do love stirring the pot.

 

[doc ock rules!]

I already displayed the common cause in my first post. And sometimes force is the best option, especially to people who are so sheltered they can't think outside their comfort zone.

Maybe you should find an article from an unbiased news source or online book to post? I remember buying a book in the Everglades that talked about how using the skins of endangered wildlife is wrong. People may be able to read the posts without automatically thinking "Oh, this is a biased, radical site."

P.S.- I advise you to be a bit more respective of other people's opinions. If everyone was ridiculed for their own opinion, we'd be living in communist China.

P.S.S.- Posters, give Venice a second chance. She means good, but I think she's gotten agitated because people have been bashing her a lot in this thread.

Since when does advocating neutrality preclude one from taking an interest in something? And, besides, the best thing about neutrality from my viewpoint is that it affords choosing to support or tear down something as I see fit and suits my personal desires, needs, goals, ideals and philosophies. Stir the pot? Absolutely. Especially if it's full of beef stew.

Stir your beef stew on ignore then.

So, your answer to everyone that you cannot convert to your way of thinking or sustain a worthwhile debate with is to put them on ignore? Ostriches hide their heads in the sand, but doing so does not take them out of danger...

KFC chickens are grown featherless and footless for easier manufacturing. They're also bound inside of a small cage, unable to move and force fed nutrients through a tube stuck down their throats.

well... at least we don't eat this:

you sure love that ignore button. but here's a thought, why don't you try to have a calm conversation with someone who disagrees with you?
the reason some people think lowly of animal rights activists is because you're often very abrassive and your methods are extreme. for instance, if i buy a new leather jacket and someone runs up and pours red paint on me, im not going to sit and consider their point of view, im going to pop them in the jaw.

I'm always calm at first, try reading over the first page and understand what i'm talking about. I don't disagree with everyone, I just disagree with people who only come into this thread to purposely try to irritate or degrade me. We can have an adult conversation once you start acting like one.

Yeah, but your God isn't my God, nor is it the God of the majority of the people on this planet, so...

And there's a difference between ruling over something and boiling it alive. And why the hell does the God of the Bible always talk to himself in the plural? Let "us" make man in "our" image... I guess monotheism is a relative term. Although I know that the term used to describe God at the beginning of Genesis is "Elohim", being the plural of "Eloah", meaning "the Celestials". Whenever you read the name "God" in the modern english translations of the Old Testament, it should instead read "the Celestials". Probably aliens.

Ever heard of the Trinity? It's more then just a hot chick in those Matrix movies...

And to respond to your first point, my religion says it's okay to eat animals. Yours may not (I assume you're a Buddhist, then?). To try to say I should not eat animals, however, is to try to force your religious beliefs on me. Last time I checked, that was wrong...

Oh, and "my God" is the God of the majority of people in this country. After all, Jews, Muslims, and Christians all believe in the same God... And correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Buddhists believe that there's no God, just enlightenment? Looks like "my God" is the God of most of the planet...

like i said earlier, i live in an apt. building that's maybe five minutes away from the PETA building in Norfolk, VA... i drive by their 'base of operations' every morning on my way to work, on the way to the interstate. a few weeks ago, my friend and i noticed they were having renovation work done to the outside of their building- now, let me warn you, this is going to be a complete shocker: the construction workers were sitting on the scaffolds eating CHEESEBURGERS. for a group with their heads screwed on so tight about what's allowed and what's not, you'd think they'd have a problem with meat-eaters working on their foundation, their cornerstone. i didn't get it.

I love meat...

what reason do you have for ceasing to be calm? if you really think you're right, then you should remain collected and point out the faults in other arguments. i did read the entire thread before i posted and all i saw was you getting flustered because you weren't gaining any converts.
i for one don't think animals have rights, because in order to have rights one must be able to claim them. so until i see a few cows protesting outside of mcdonalds ill keep enjoying my burgers and wearing my leather jacket.
