Ringling Brothers is bringing a circus here to my hometown of Jonesboro, AR pretty soon and as usual PETA plans a protest. A woman wearing nothing but shackles in a cage in front of the county courthouse. Nothing too extreme, given what PETA had done before, but a student at the local college, Arkansas State University, plans a counter-protest across the street from her. He plans to hand out free BBQ and hamburgers to the downtowners. You can read the whole story here at KAIT 8. The guy who is planning the counter-protest also has his own website called Peta Sucks. This should be interesting.
Some of the PETA stuff is legit, buit hey go way over the top. As far as meat goes, I got canine teeth for a reason and I put them to use frequently.
I think that PETA gives this country's left a bad name. If they really wanted to do something productive they should help save some endangered animals.
I don't eat meat. I don't wear leather. I support animal rights. I don't support the circus. I HATE PETA! Look, you can believe whatever you want. I choose to believe that animals are sentient beings and I won't consume them for food (on purpose) or wear them for clothing (on purpose). But, I also realize that not everyone agrees with me and I am in the decided minority. Given that fact, it is entirely counterproductive to stick my beliefs into people's faces, particularly in a way that pisses people off or that scares small children. PETA used to be an educational organization that - while a tad outside - tried to educate people on the value of animals, the poor treatment many received and the benefits of a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. Now, they just seem so caught up in the "we are right" mentality, that they have become as bad as those they oppose. I have no interest in supporting their organization at any time even though we often fall on the same side of many issues.
In very, *very* general terms, I usually agree with PETA's basic goals: educate people about animal cruelty, offer alternatives to meat-based lifestyles and promote compassionate food choices. I even like most of PETA's street theatre. It's when they blast the Green Bay Packers for their name (or something stupid like that) that I usually part ways ideologically. As for this particular protest, I say rock on -- to both the PETA protester and the anti-PETA protester. That's what makes America great.
I vehemently oppose PETA. I stand for everything they are against. I just shot a cat with a B.B. gun because of this post. My buddy in high school is the National spokesman for PETA now. Anyone who would like to join me in chastising William next time he's in town, let me know. I love giving that jack-ass a hard time.
Two words: PETA sucks. They're a bunch of silver-spoon-stuck-in-the-mouth anti-capitalist liberals with too much time on their hands. And the sad thing is they've duped people into giving millions to what is a stupid advocacy group that does absolutely NOTHING to really help animals. And as we say here in the South, I love animals, they're delicious.
I love meat. But, because I do love animals, I don't support the circus. I can't remember the last time I've been.
here's an SAT question that basically summarizes how I feel about PETA. NRA :: guns PETA :: ______ A) Biscuits B) Cell Phones C) Abortion D) Animals both wacko political interest groups who dupe mostly single issue voters into becoming pawns of their incredibly extreme agendas.. but sadly, both nessecary evils.
I'm pretty sure in the NRA Handbook there is something that states that "in the case of a virus that kills all cats and dogs (driving humanity to use primates as pets and servants), it is unwise to leave your perfectly safe assault rifle in the vicinity of dirty apes" Or at least Charlton Heston asked to add it.
Anyone gonna go see Stephen Lynch at the Aerial next month? Kill A Kitten listen to the song: http://www.stephenlynch.com/Kittensong/index.html official statement: http://www.stephenlynch.com/kitten.html lyrics: When the game of life makes you feel like quittin', It helps a lot if you kill a kitten Mark my words, cause from where I'm sittin, You can't go wrong if you kill a kitten. There's no crime that you'll be commitin' I know the law, you can kill a kitten. If you need yarn for that scarf you're knittin' You'll get plenty when you kill a kitten Feed it turpentine, or break its spine, Crush it with your shoe, as long as you... Kill a kitten If the one you love isn't quite as smitten, She'll like you better when you kill a kitten To quote the bible, cause that's where it's written If yee loveth Jesus, yee must kill a kitten Flush him down the can, hit him with your van, Throw him at a train, make him snort cocaine Drown him in a lake, bake a kitty cake Stick some TNT up his cat booty Do what you must do, as long as you... Kill a kitten Killing kittens isn't easy, And if the thought makes you feel queasy, Grab a pitchfork from the shed, And kill a puppydog instead! Kill a kitten, kill a kitten, for a mitten Kill a kitten (4x)
Man I am allergic as hell to cats and would live a much better life if somehow they vanished off the face of the earth, but thats just MEAN. (creative lyrics, however)
Seriously, what is your problem with me recently? My response was so tongue in cheek it would take an idiot to think it was serious. We have different views on a lot of issues. I truly respect your opinions and views, even if I disagree. I expect same, if you don't mind.
I think its pretty well documented in the archives of this bbs that Jeff is a pretty hard core cat person.
