Have you mowed your lawn lately? If so, you may have committed a grave plants rights crime, according to the Swiss Federal Ethics Committee on Biotechnology. In what reads like a clever parody, their twenty-four page report argues that plants may well be deserving of nearly the same reverence a human life is due (of course, in practice, these hypocrites would treat plants with greater reverence than human lives, see below).

I lived next door to some Swiss people and the arrogance is unbelievable. The US is utterly stupid, all the people are ignoramouses, Bush was an idiot, all of our construction was sub-par, we were backwards and couldn’t speak multiple languages. And those were just the criticisms they would verbalize.

According to the Swiss, you would be a serial murderer.

Liberals committing murder...
Thanks for the ping!
Your neighbor is Art Vandelay?
LOL. We expected him to be a marine biologist after that.
Vegetarians and vegans, it would seem, should be starving themselves to death.
I love that movie (Young Frankenstein). I wondered for years why the horses always realed up and whinnied when someone repeated your screen name. Then I saw Cloris Leachman on O’Reilly and she said she wondered the same thing for many years until Mel Brooks told her that Blucher was German for glue. <>p Love that movie.
We water-board potatoes with boiling water. Then we crush them. Then we eat them! Sometimes we chop up other plants and throw them in there, too
That's right! I always though they were a bit flamboyant, especially when they get all fluffy.
It would only be considered wetlands if your dog or cat pi$$ed on it.......:O)
I love threads like this one...it shows how witty freepers are and a great way to get many chuckles.
