Regarding FC:

>>Your Reply:

Yes, you guys have quite alot in common. <<

"You guys" is instructive; i.e., FC identifies himself as someone (something?) other than a conservative.

Very interesting. . . .very interesting indeed.

Vegetables and plants have feelings too. How can you eat a tomato? Potatoes even have eyes!

Eat what you want and leave the carnivores alone.

>>Vegetables and plants have feelings too<<

You know, you have a point. ;-)

Plants have feelings and do not like being eaten and are stressed out at the thought of their own demise----so says Cleve Baxter, the "father" of the polygraph.

Cleve wired up plants and discovered they react to emotions and music. . .so, it's true. . .plants do have feelings. Maybe we should all become "airians" that fictitious group that believes we can survive on air alone (from an old episode of Barney Miller)

From http://www.hrvg.org/newsletter/2002-09/conference.html

>>Perhaps the most vivacious presentation is delivered by the affable, 79-year-old legend, Cleve Baxter, who began experimenting on plants in the 1960's, testing for their electromagnetic responses to various external stimuli. You know, where the plant is hooked up to a polygraph and you think mean thoughts and the graph goes haywire? I like the one where you chop a head of cabbage in two and the plant just freaks. Then you leave the room and a series of people enter one by one as the plant grows bored until you, the cabbage chopper, renter the room whereby the plant loses it again, "Cabbage chopper, cabbage chopper!!!", thus demonstrating a form of plant recall.

In a similar observation, Cleve tells us of one plant's registered distress at the incidental opening of a yogurt cup. Evidently, it was determined, the impending doom of the bacteria in the yogurt was enough to upset the plant, illustrating once again the truly delicate interconnectedness of all living things.

The talk is a hit and Cleve's books at once sell out. I grab him during the after-talk book signing. "Mr. Baxter," I interrupt, "your plants get excited when someone close by wants to, say, set them on fire. But, how do they respond to love?"

"Not too well, I'm afraid," Cleve laments, "for a scientist, that is. Love tends to calm them down, and so their wave patterns become very smooth. If we're looking for a reaction, we really hope to see a spike on the graph."<<

Post 43 is for you too, by the way.

[Conspiracy Guy]

See what I talking about? Vegans are ruthless killers and torturers all for mere nourishment.

[Gunrunner2]

Selfish bastards.

[Gunrunner2]

Did I just say "sel-FISH". . . .oh, what a food pun.

[RushCrush]

Hi- I see that you pinged me but for the life of me, I have no idea why. Can you explain?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yes. I personally believe we were intended to eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and some grains. So I eat those with a clear conscience. The vegans on the other hand are hypocrites. "Save the animals at the expense of the defenseless plants".

Just as a fellow member of the Viking Kitty Patrol. Your handle is usually included in the fun.

 

Thought we might be smelling O-Zone. LOL See posts 38-4?

[RushCrush]

Oh sorry- gotchya. Not feeling too hot lately so am a little slow on the draw. :)

[StoneGiant]

I love this, turned a Peta thread into a goat thread, fantastic justice.

 

OK, let's return to PETA....

[RushCrush]

omg what kind of animals are those? That pic is truly hilarious

[Gunrunner2]

Dinner!

[StoneGiant]

Looks like the results of a very successful goose hunt.

You might say that the hunters are "flipping the birds"...

Mammals are higher life forms than plants! Too bad we don't all grow our own food because we are being slowly poisoned. Even our non-organic veggies.
Soy milk (which I do drink) is not pumpoed with antibiotics, growth hormones and fly killing pesticides.
I learned this growing up on a farm, not from animal rights activists. I don't eat poison veggies either.

[Gunrunner2]

Thanks for sharing.

Group hug!!

[followerofchrist]

What is it to you if individuals decide not not use animal products? I have vegan friends, and they do not comment on my occasional meat consumption. There is quite a difference between a plant and an animal. The argument should not be diverted, it should be addressed. Milk. Drink the poison, antibiotics and growth hormone every day if you wish, but people have a right to be informed before they put it in their bodies every day. I drink it too, about once a month, when soy milk won't work for certain recipes and such. But do allow people to be informed about the bad things in milk as well as the good. I am so glad my mom said it was good for me when I was a kid. That virtually guaranteed I would avoid it as an adult. I hate drinking milk from dirty cows standing in their own feces. Disgusting.

As opposed to veggies fertilized/feed with human and animal waste.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't drink milk. I only eat free range beef and chicken, and a lot of wild game. Plants are also quite dangerous especially those that originate south of the border where human waste is used for fertilizer and irrigation.

You need to learn a little more about facts yourself. Believe me you have no corner on the market of knowledge.
