    Speaking of PETA just makes me think of hamburgers. Juicy dripping with hot animal fat.....how could anyone ever long for a veggie burger when the ones from cows are just sooooo much better? Beach

    Gee Beach, that wonderfull desciption of hot animal fat
    just makes me think of the the dead people I get to see
    every year in the emergency room. Some are still clutching
    their Alka Selter in their cold dead hands. But, I guess
    we all have different visualizations from different words.

    JBB...I'm over 50 years old, Ran 7-8 miles a day every day of my life until my running career was ruined in Somalia. Have the Cholesterol levels of an exceptionally in shape 25 year old. Still teach judo three times a week and I don't know for what you use Alka Seltzer. So I'll keep downing the cow burgers and you can keep eating your vegan stuff and we'll see who makes 100. Beach

    I think the real question is: Why would anyone speak of PETA!

    trooperchin,
    I don't like guns, I love guns.
    I don't hate meat, I choose not to eat meat.
    I don't hate hunters, I choose not to hunt.
    I even let some hunt on my acreage.
    I don't hate, maybe with a small exception of
    liberals who want to take what belongs to me,
    I just want to live and let live, except for the
    above mentioned liberals.

    beachmaster73,
    I am 60 this year. So I will get there first.
    Just hope to enjoy the trip. I had several
    careers messed up in a land far away also.
    Never could understand why they were so hell
    bent on not whating their hearts and minds
    changed. May have been when I quit trying to
    change other peoples minds. Seemed counter
    productive. And truly hope you also make the
    trip. May we'll even be on here pounding away at
    the keyboard.

    JBB




    I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them.

    humans are designed to eat meat, we are omnivores, not herbivores...if you have a moral inclination against dead animals, I hope you take all your vitamins.

    Dead stuff tastes good! A quote from Ted that I just so happen to agree with. I made an awsome batch of venison chilly over the weekend and it was great.

    (PETA)= People Eating The Animals

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    I don't want to give the impression I "hate" PETA. This is on all counts a free country (per-se). We can choose what we decide to eat.
    My anger is directed toward the veggies that want to force their opinions on us all and the way they do it. I don't try to force people to eat meat, be a babtist, buy a green car, wear only jeans, or say what I want to hear! I expect PETA to do the same. State your point and then move on!
    PETA, I'm sure, does good for a lot of animals, but, when they get out of hand and tell us we are killers and murderers- they are out of line.
    I would hope that they would try to love their neighbors (all of us) first- then try to save the animals.
    My family has----
    *6 chickens
    * 2 ducks
    *1 great dog
    * 2 goldfish (in a big pond)
    * 2 cats
    * 3 wild cottontail rabits. (back yard every morning)
    * 1 macaw (bird)
    * 1 cockateal
    * 4 crabs (shell type)
    * 1 baby quaker (bird)
    **** wild birds, snakes, spiders, ect!!!!!
    We care for them all, but I still love my T-bone steak!!!
    SO GET OFF MY BUTT!

    Just want to point out that ALL who claim vegitarian status and try to shove it on us normal human beings are, by their own words, proving themselves abnormal. Thus is my thesis:

    Humans, aka homo sapiens, are mammals. There are three classes of mammels: 1)Herbavores, or those who eat only plants. 2)carnavores, or those who eat only meat or animals. 3)Omnivores, or those who eat BOTH plants and aminals. Homo Sapiens are OMNIVORES, that is their norm. Therefore, anyone who is a Homo Sapien, AKA man, and claims to be either an herbavore or carnavore are abnormal by their own statement.

    Try that on a PETA person if you want some REAL fun, I have.


    And have you heard the New PETA idea? There is a town in Minn, can't remember the name at the moment, where Hormel has a big plant, the major employer. PETA wrote the highschool and suggested that the teams mascot and name should be changed as it was dregrading to animals, or something like that. The teams name is the PACKERS. PETA even went so far as to suggest a new name might be the SIX PACKERS. This is real and not a joke.

    People Enjoying Tasty Aminals, they need to get it right.

    The second admendment GUARANTEES the other nine and the Constitution!
