I was watching on tv “The Big Bang Theory” and found out that vegetarians are meat eaters. Ban shows like that and all the fishing shows too. Here she is promoting eating 3 things.

Penny: I’m a vegetarian. Well, except for fish, and the occasional steak. I love steak!

Of course.

BTW, thanks for your service. I'm sorry LBJ, McNamara, and Cronkite got the Tet Offensive so wrong and killed more of your brothers. As you probably know, General Giap said in his memoirs that he was ready to bail after Tet.

“There goes the pride in my Scottish heritage. Guess I should trash the plaque of my Coat of Arms that hangs with my Military stuff. Is nothing sacred to these miserable woke a-holes? What next...Moby Dick because he was white?”

So with my 20%+ of my DNA coming from Scottish Ancestors, I must throw away my kilt, ties, socks and other Scottish clothing not even mention able on this site.

Actually, I might wear them more often to render liberals even more useless in life.

I'm with you, Dave. Gotta dig out my kilt of my clan.

Boycott tunafish!

First, we need to eat the 12 cans we just bought from Costco.

Tuna casserole is our dinner for tonight. (1 can at a time!)

Fresh Ahi aka Tuna is often served in this house hold if fresh Ahi is in the butcher section of the local store we shop at.

I person I never met but should have, (assuming his wife was not around) once said:

“Underneath the bridge
Tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I’ve trapped
Have all become my pets
And I’m living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It’s okay to eat fish
‘Cause they don’t have any feelings

Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Just loser “professors” who sit around inventing new outrages to justify their useless life and poor life decisions. NO ONE needs an “intellectual” and deep down they know it.

The Disney version of Bambi is far removed from Felix Salten's novel (as best I can judge from having seen short clips of the movie). I hate to think how Disney would change The Old Man and the Sea. Probably the old man would just take a photo of the fish and then throw it back into the sea.

It has been a very long time since I read Hemingway's novel, but as I recall after the old man wakes up, he goes outside to take a leak. That is obviously offensive on three levels: 1. he is outdoors, 2. he's standing up, and 3. he doesn't wash his hands afterwards.

So obviously the students need to be warned against reading the novel.

And the novel is probably deemed too homo and trans phobic, since no perverts are represented at all. Look what Amazon is doing to their Lord of the Rings series: every race and sexual deviance is being injected into the story, since Tolkien was clearly too moral and Anglo-Saxon for today’s woke world.
