Just don't eat Limping Fish!

I don't like the idea of a lion eating an animal. But I'm not in the power to stop the lion, or even you from doing so.

My ideals in my life are to do the least damage to the world as possible while I am in it, and thus die with a clear conscience.

Haven't KFC been known to drown chickens to kill them? I read that recently somewhere.

you really should learn how to google.

For example.

Limping fish: Hmm.. if I was an activist I wouldn't go stealing dead bodies.. no. I imagine I'd just burn the place down to the ground when no one is there, and of course making sure to rescue all the animals out of there first.

As far as I know a 'true vegetarian' (who does not eat any animal products, including cheese, milk, eggs, meat (of course)

You mean a vegan. A vegetarian by definition eats/drinks dairy products.

You have no sense of humor.

That's wrong! He has a sense of humour, it's just rubbish.. (kidding)

So, if I chose the option of eating meat, I don't have moral and/nor ethic?

He never said/implied that.

So if you have your own chickens that you look after nicely and don't force to lay lots of eggs, it would be OK to eat those eggs, then?

Well it's better, anyway.

"Also, I was reading in this week's New Scientist that giving babies soya milk formula instead of cows milk formula is very bad for them. Of course human milk is better still..."

I'm more concerned in that aspect with Nestle encouraging the use of their powdered baby milk products in developing countries and causing deaths from malnutrition. Breastfeeding all the way..

"And what's wrong with smearing poo on one's windows, eh? eh?"

Do I have to answer that one?

"And can you wear leather if the cow involved died of natural causes. Also, my feet smell if I use non-leather shoes."

That's okay, but I'll still grose out about it. Non-leather shoes? Well that depends on the type of shoes now. If they were plastic, well then yeah, there's no air in them for your feet to breath. my shoes are made of the same kind of material as yacht sails. And my safety shoes. And my trainers are synthetic but not sure how, but they aint leather, and they look real cool. Even if they are meant for skateboarding.

About food, I know that vegetarians have wasted a lot of time and money into finding ways to feed themselves with some alternatives than food, but SOYA MILK?

In their eyes, and indeed my eyes, it is not a waste of money. Whatever costs you are talking about anyway. And I drink soya milk because it has proteins for my body. (and.. I drink this nice chilled creamy stuff, not that nasty dry section carton stuff) I still eat cheese and chocolate.

"I mean it just sucks! It's a fact that cows produced 3/4 more milk than their children will need. Why not use that 3/4?"

I'm guessing the reasoning here is because of the majority of cruel ways used in order to get said milk. So the vegetarians/vegans wouldn't want to drink something that had been extracted in such a way.

"As always things are getting ridiculous."

Whatever.

"But then someone comes to you and says :" HEY! You don't want cruelty and yet you drink cows milk! Do you know how cruel these people are to cows in order to take their milk?"

In my experience I get more people telling me I SHOULD eat meat, more often than i've ever told someone they shouldn't. In fact, I never force my ideals down anyone's throat. Only in circumstances like this, or if someone asks me why I don't eat at McDonald's for example. And as you can see, I still haven't told you not to eat meat.

"And btw, how cruel is a lion killing a baby zebra? Pretty cruel in human standards... Heck are we, humans, not animals?!?"

Not sure of your point here, but we are animals to a degree, albeit with higher intelligence and awareness, so those people who argue that we should eat meat because animals do it are suggesting they contain the same amount of intelligence as the animals, are they not?  : "ooh look, that monkey just smeared his poo all over that window, and I shall do the same. Heck, I'm an animal too!" 

Can I make a comment about the sprites?

They look like hairdryers.

I doubt you were going for flying hairdryers. 

"I could eat a horse" is a meaningful metaphor to express hunger, but if enough people say it whenever they're feeling a little bit peckish, it loses all its power. "I could literally eat a horse" recaptures, briefly, some of the original impact of the phrase, before it too is inevitably worn out.

Yep, that's why I'll use my imagination and say something else.

"I'm so hungry I could eat the entire content's of Rik Waller's fridge."

(If you don't know who he is, it's a bad fat person joke)

"They told of how SATAN kicked them out of a park for practising religion in public."

Are you sure they weren't listening to a grand theft auto game's radio station? And here I was thinking they were far fetched!


How can they so easily define whether something was done by GOD or SATAN anyway? What if say, GOD foresaw that if they stayed on the park one of them was going to slip and break his neck? So he made them stay away. But no, they assume it's SATAN's doing! And how about Euthansia? Mercy of GOD or killing by SATAN?

For the record I'm agnostic. I'm just theorizing or whatnot.

Yup, I too like to think that everything I do is by my own choice. Even when I say "I had no choice." it was a choice, but the alternative may have been very bad indeed.

"Some people are more spiritual."

I am actually I suppose. When my grandma died it was just too hard to accept that she'[s just some ashes now and that's it. It's comforting to think that her soul is in existence.

Yeah, the last time I was on a forum and they started moaning about vegetarians I got a warning for flaming, something I've never done before.

They were all making stupid and childish comments taking the piss of of vegetarians and vegans, calling them pasty skinny wimps and the like.

On the forum:

Person: "Vegetarians who think it's wrong to kill animals for meat are morons, IMO."
Me: "That's fine, I think you're a moron, IMO."

I get a warning..

Moderator: "No personal attacks."
Me: "Ah I see, so I can't attack personally, but it's okay to attack a group of people! My bad."

All the shooters that me and my brother made with the shoot 'em up construction kit on the C64.

I loved midnight resisitance.

As for today's shooters, metal slug series.

Actually yeah, virtually and literally mean two different things entirely.

"Virtually fat free!" Meaning it's almost fat free.

"I have a frog in my throat" meaning I got a sore throat.
"I have a frog in my throat, literally." I really do have a frog in my throat.

EDIT: So, in what context have you heard someone say literally instead of virtually?

Creepy! That was creepy! Good though, although I like happy endings.

Didn't you just answer your own question? Yes, powerful. Like most sayings, gets overused and loses the sound of effectiveness it once had.

Silly sayings? Like "Frog in your throat" for having a sore throat? It comes from a LITERAL (hehe) meaning of centuries ago when they would LITERALLY stick a frog down your throat to cure your soreness.

It makes me wonder about "cat got your tongue?" 

Obviously mine doesn't count as an entry, but I was just messing about and figured I'd post it anyway.

Haha amusing photos chaps!

Matt went on a boat last week.

And steered it. Sometimes.

And went all adventure game like and created a toddler detterent; a plastic scoobie cable thing that children use was tied into knots and created this device that held the door handle up, meaning only weak people like toddlers couldn't open it and bumble through the back of the boat and fall in the water. Or bug me.

When did Mr Dog talk? I don't remember that.

Erm yes, I liked that!

And I recognised the actor of the zombie emperor dude, it was David Hyde Pierce, who played Niles in Frasier, or if you like, Sideshow bob's brother in the simpsons.
