Original article: Don't have a cow!

bravo to the (carnivorous/omnivorous) posters making excellent points...

... maybe the vegan (oh, i pronounce it veg-in, because i say veg-etables, not veeg-etables... seems to annoy the hell out of the vegans too, must be a lack of some amino acid or sumpin'... evil hee hee hee) *and* interviewer should have read a few of the off-the-cuff posts which nailed many issues the vegan and interviewer slide right by... (*and* these same points HAVE to be made EVERY time a stupid 'go veggie!' article comes out; do you vegans have a learning disorder or what ?)

1. yes, SERIOUSLY, you get so weepy-eyed over flossy, but don't give a second thought to the plants you KILL and EAT ? ? ? SERIOUSLY, his argument is PRIMARILY centered around the 'feelings' of the livestock being slaughtered, BUT PLANTS HAVE 'FEELINGS' TOO ! ! ! (yes, i am SERIOUS)

i am certain that if THEY could articulate their 'feelings' they would say, 'please don't fucking chop me down and masticate me, you brutal nekkid ape! allow me to live a full and natural life and go to seed !' too bad they can't make little cow eyes at us to make us realize their, um, 'feelings'...

2. in a world that tortures, that subjugates most nekkid apes to a lifetime of abject servitude and misery, that spends half its resources on wars, that doesn't give a shit about 90-99% of the nekkid apes on this here ball-o-mud; i'm supposed to get more worked up over livestock not having the opportunity to 'self-actualize' ? ? ? eat compost and die, vegans...

3. flaunting hundreds of thousands/millions of years of evolution where we -at least- would scavenge carrion does not seem like a 'natural' solution to me... (mmm, monkey meat)

4. another excellent point: if it were not for the food value we attach to cows, chickens, etc; then we'd have NO REASON to keep them around (or breed them into being)... (other than whatever wild variants -if any- would reclaim a niche in the pitiful tracts of semi-natural world we have left; i bet they'd have a swell life, and would never have hurt feelings or get eaten by any other animals...)

5. as referred to above and elsewhere: to live is to kill, whether it is a fellow mammal, or a helpless plant; whether it is a virus feeding on a cell, a bug eating another bug, or a lion eating the ass out of a live zebra (awww, how 'cruel', *snicker*)

6. as to why vegans are so much fun to make fun of: they are self-important, oh-so-caring douchebags, who are essentially self-mocking, THAT's why... *many* (not all) are also prone to being total assholes about their 'englightened' ways, and -like *many* converts to whatever- are more self-righteous than is endurable...

7. my 'guilt' over eating DEE-LICIOUS charred dead animal flesh has to do with the corrupted ECONOMIC system and Big Agriculture which has -as per usual- turned a sustainable system into a profit system... we SHOULD have more small family farming that distributes those 100000 piggies over the whole county, instead of two factory farms with 10 acre lagoons of toxic shit; but THAT is kapitalist imperialisms 'fault', NOT MEATEATERS...

8. my personal thinking on why vegetarians choose that way: they are too slow (from lack of meat!) to catch a mammal, but those stupid plants can't run away ! ! !

@ jsschultz (sp? sorry)

1. you are richtig in your assessment of gg's oftentimes thinskinned retorts and undeserved nastiness to 'contrary' posters... (not to mention the usual fanboyees who will bare their peace-lovin' fangs when saint glenn is glancingly criticized...)

2. your point -regardless of its validity or cogency- was bound to be lost on this crowd; some represent the worst of kneejerk lib'rulism (*ptui*), and many will NOT 'allow' a discouraging word regarding The One's (tm) infallibility...

(NOTE: *of course* saint gleen would be the first to say he is fallible, but not his fanboyees and fangrrlees ! ! !)

hell, most of these pwogs do not understand the concept of freespeech, much less support it ! ! !

3. there are numerous examples of sincere (although i would argue that even 'insincere' counter-arguments which are on point, deserve response) posters making arguments which are unpopular (though valid), and get unfairly bitch-slapped by glenn and glenn frenns...

once those barnyard biddies peck a chick speaking out of turn and raise blood, the rest of the flock will pile on and finish them off...

4. posit 3 cohorts:

A. a literal handful of sociopathic neo (nazi) con (artistes) (and their twue bewievers, amoral functionaries, and authoritarian sheeples) fraudulently obtain power, start illegal, immoral, ill-advised wars, subvert the constitution, and murder millions in our names...

they don't care...

B. a vast majority of over-worked, under-paid, thoroughly disgusted sheeple who are witting or unwitting propaganda viktims, take the superficial reasons for warmaking and constitution-shredding at face value...

they don't bleat...

C. a small percentage of nekkid apes who take seriously the idea of small-dee, particaptory democracy, and go beyond the mainstream pablum to stay better informed of the lies, perfidy, and illegal actions 'our' (sic) gummint takes, and they realize what is going on, but writing stern emails is all they know...

they don't count...

rank these cohorts in their relative culpability for our gummint to be subverted, and inhuman horrors to be committed in our names...
