The Moral Ferocity of Eating Animals
Commented Oct 28, 2009 at 16:53:53 in Books
“A hundred years ago, people knew where their food came from; now it's neatly processed and appears pleasantly packaged in your grocer's freezer. The suffering your food goes through before it comes to you is the stuff of horror films. I guess it's OK because bacon and fried chicken just taste so damn good.”

“I will agree that the meat industry is cruel, but it is a fallacy to believe that the only reason people still eat meat is because they're removed from that cruelty. Meat was a mainstay of our diets well before the emergence of the meat industry and we all still had to kill our own meat. We had more respect for the act of taking a life for sustenance, but the bleating of the cattle, the squealing of the pigs and the squawk of the chickens did not stay our hands.”

“Since you're all now so concerned about cruelty to animals, remember the Democratic support for the continued abortion in this country. 53 million dead Americans and counting, including 3,500 every single day. Most sucked through out through a hose, some "third trimester" garrotted and sucked out as parts.
Here, watch a video on the procedure (if you have the balls): http://www
And you're concerned about chickens, pigs, and cows (let's not forget the keen relationship between cow farting and the end of the world).
Typical Democratic hypocrisy.”

“People KNOW where their food comes from, they just don't care that animals had to suffer terrible for it. Read the comments here.
The misperception that Weil has is that if people only knew, they would be decent and make a different choice. Most comments here - and the behavior of 99% of humans - shows otherwise.”

“I"m sure they don't care about you, either. Let's hope that there's reincarnation and you come back as a factory farmed pig.”

“MOST food is produced this way. People love to be ignorant so they can gorge on their fried chicken and bacon and not care how it was produced. We're lazy, feel superior, greedy, and ultimately as long as we get OUR way who cares who or what it hurts? You're a shiningly dull example, NeilFiertel. And you might proof your post before you submit: "I am supposed to get exercised about chickens?" - WTF does that even mean?”

How to Stop AIG's Bonuses
Commented Mar 16, 2009 at 15:48:59 in Business
“What kills me is the unmitigated gall these blowhards have. They accep bonuses they didn't earn while people lose their homes. Paraphrasing Joseph N. Welch: "Have (they) no decency"?”
TXfemmom replied on Mar 16, 2009 at 16:25:39
“That doesn't count all the huge bonuses they received for taking on these risky investments and generating "supposed profits" while doing it. Since they were not profits, but huge losses, then the bonuses should be clawbacked.”

“What a cowardly comment.. Someone tries to do the right thing and they're punished for it. I sure as hell hope no one ever needs a hand from you.”

“He wasn't "punished for it" by McDonald's. The assailant is the one who "punished" him.
I am an attorney. I explained the legal ramifications of what McDonald's did. If you can't wrap your small head around that, it's not my problem.”

“Not cowardly - simply legally correct in the sense that his actions were beyond the scope of his employment.
He is a hero - and just because something isn't morally right ( paying him his costs for his injuries ) - doesn't mean that they are not legally correct.
Let us suppose that he went out and tried to help someone jumpstarting a car and the battery blew up - causing him injuries. Would McDonald's be liable to pay for his medical care? No - because that act is not in the scope of his employment. This is the same type of situation with more emotion.”

“No, he didn't cause the hurricane, but there is no excuse for the way that was handled . His inaction regarding Katrina and the resulting corruption and total policy failure and the lying about WMDs were completely his administration's fault. How can you say otherwise?”
Mare58 replied on Jan 12, 2009 at 15:39:23
“Hurrican Katrina is not a Bush problem it was a Louisana, New Orleans problem. Can you acutally blame the president about that when the Mayor or the Govenor did nothing prior to the hurricane coming. Honestly, why does everyone blame the President about everything

“Thank you. Funny how easy it is to forget Hagee, Parsley, and all of the right wing racists who would just love to see Hillary as the nominee. I have seen so much love from the right wing since Reagan was alive. Wendee must think that playing the Rev. Wright card causes memory lapses from the Bosnia sniper fantasy. How "well respected" can one be after that blatant lie?”
