Next time you see a vegetarian, tell her (I say her, because no self-respecting man would ever be a vegetarian) that for every animal she doesn't eat, you'll eat THREE.

And for every dumbass comment that you make like that one, I'll feel three times better about my choice of food.

Sure thing, Rainier.

Sigh. Some people are unable to distinguish humor from bigotry.

Facists of any ilk are repulsive.
I was a vegetarian in the '70's... Talk about hard to get respect..... I came back to red meat and vertabrates as food and gained 30 lbs.... was a skinny 6'1" 140# 20 yo.... Now if we could get back to real sugar instead of this High Fructose Corn Syrup CRAP......







I swear the ExtraTerrestrials are changing our chemical composition to better suit their PALATES!!!!

"Dum" is not a word. Dumb, on the other hand, has at least two meanings. You are correct in saying that it characterizes one who is mute, but it also characterizes one who is stupid and/or ignorant. I refuse to take crap from someone who lacks a sufficient understanding of English.

It's for former meat-eaters who have been forced into a life of vegetarianism due to health concerns. Not everyone who lives a vegetarian lifestyle is a radical PETA member.

I hear you. I really loathe high fructose corn syrup being used as a surrogate sugar. Do you want to know why corn syrup is used instead? Because the Federal Government heavily subsidizes sugar farmers, making sugar too expensive for domestic use (and a nice tarriff is slapped on foreign sugar)! As such, producers are forced to use high fructose corn syrup.

Since it seems people are trying to convince you meat is bad, maybe you should try convincing peope meat is good? Meat is good. :)

I just read where Mexico is sitting on like 100 million tons or some unGodly number of refined sugar and they cannot sell enough to offset foreign debt. Thus they remain a drag on the economics of the Hemisphere and we can play smack down on them......
