Cruelty Free?

How cruel is it to make a child eat tofu burgers instead of beef?

and what about the poor brocolli? screaming silently. I'm gonna start a groupsto lobby for the rights of produce. because they don't have a voice any one want in?

pax, I like your "polite curses."
Some of my favorites:

Dumber than a box of rocks.
One taco short of a combination plate.
Makes a two-by-four look like Einstein by comparison.

A friend once cracked me up when I heard him tell someone, "I know piles of dog s**t that are smarter than you." (This seems to apply perfectly to Clinton, BTW, and goes double for Algore, who's also crazy to boot.)

Obviously I'm being impersonated by a troll, 'cause I couldn't have double-tapped. I never do. Uh uh, no way....

Cactus, are you truly saying that a GROUP of people, working TOGETHER, wrote those letters? Well, that explains the mailings to so many newspapers, all right, but it raises a whole new set of questions about intelligence, doesn't it?
:rolleyes:

The stupidity of the whole is obviously greater than the sum of its parts.
 
I would respond but, frankly, I can't think of any way to respond except . . . to go to the store and buy some chicken. I'm hungry now! :)
 
I've never been around chickens, but my wife was raised on a farm. She tells me that chickens are just about the nastiest, most disgusting, and just plain stupid critters to grace a barnyard. Killing them for food is practically a mercy. Their brains barely qualify as such - more of a tie-point for the rest of their CNS...

Obviously she has the same IQ as a chicken. Just from seeing the previews I took this movie in a different way. As another attempt to try and impress on children that animals have the same feelings, thoughts and emotions as humans and thus should be acourted human rights. Since the children are more easily influenced the radical left is attempting to influence them to become animal rights nuts, against hunting and fishing and vegitarians. My two cents...
 
Anthropomorphosis of animal creatures in film is nothing new. We've all seen it and many have enjoyed it. The distinction to draw:

FANTASY vs. REALITY

I'm closer to comprehending Jung's collective unconscious now that I've seen an example. :D

Talk about someone:
Who's not the brightest bulb in the box
Whose elevator ain't hittin' the top floor
Who's a 60w bulb in a 75w socket

Sheesh!

I read Ms. Browning's letter, and then I read the first few posts...and said to myself: "Hell, don't these guys realize a send-up when they see one? It's SATIRE!!"
Then I read the post that reported the same letter in Tacoma.
Omigod, it's NOT satire! The woman was serious! (Well, what passes for serious in someone so out of touch with reality as she apparently is.)
It can only be a PETA plot. I don't know of any other group dumb enough to systematically deny common sense like that. (Well, there is the Southern Baptist Convention and the Democratic National Committee, come to think of it!) :D

(with grateful acknowledgement to Maynard James Keenan)

"And an Angel of the Looorrd came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber, and took me on high, and higher still until we moved in the spaces betwixt the air itself.

And he brought me into a vast farmland 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 possessed me then, and I begged: Angel of the Looorrrd, 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 life! They HAVE a consciousness! They HAVE a SOUL! DAMN YOU, let the rabbits wear glasses, can I get an AMEN?! Can I get a HALLELUJAH?!"

I pride myself on spotting satire early, but I honestly don't think that's what this is.

I had a friend who dated the dumbest lump of blond hair skin cells I ever met. After they broke up, he admitted that she was indeed "a spoon among knives." One of my favorites ever since.
 
"...unlike dead chicken flesh, are free of saturated fat, cholesterol, and salmonella."

Check for yourself how much saturated fat and cholesterol are in chicken. It's almost non-existant. Heck, it's almost pure protein. It's the choice of professional weight lifters for a reason.

As for salmonella. We've been okay with that ever since the invention of soap and the refrigerator.

Unlike the truth, this letter is free of fact, common sense, and the ability to tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
 
As a kid in suburbia, one of the neigbors had an unusually large back yard, and they had a modest pen with maybe 20 chickens, one rooster and a male/female pair of ducks.

Standing and watching the stupidity was great fun.

Example: it turns out a rooster "does it" with a chicken by jumping on her back, grabbing the red dangly thing on top of her head and tugging on it. She squacks, squats and he "slips it to her". The whole process takes between 5 and 10 seconds.

Now picture a rooster standing on the back of a highly upset male duck. The rooster is looking all puzzled trying figure out where the missing dangling bit is to grab, while the duck hisses and tries to bill the rooster's legs to death except it can't quite reach.

:D

The duck trying to screw a chicken was even better...pure "poultry in motion".
