“I don't think you can compare the eating habit of the wild to the gluttony of the contemporary American diet - especially not on the the most gluttonous day of the year.”

emncaity replied on Nov 24, 2009 at 22:34:47

“Gluttony is a different point entirely--but that's a good point. Although I'd dispute whether Thanksgiving really is the most gluttonous day of the year. It's true a lot is eaten, but much of it is fairly lean meat, veggies, etc. I think every Sunday afternoon football barf-fest with five-pound bowls of nacho cheese, etc., might beat it.”

I do think those who live life by causing less harm are living in a better way. I don't ink of myself as holy at all though, far from it.”

“You have quite a lot of nerve calling others "Holier than Thou" due to one commercial and a few organizations advocating making conscientious choices in their diet while the airwaves are saturated with meat-centric advertising and restaurant menus are teeming with flesh foods.

You act like a straight person worried that gay marriage would somehow destroy your marriage. Vegetarians/vegans are no threat to you. If you choose to contribute to the horrendous suffering and misery inherent in the meat industry that is up to you. Some of us are more open to taking the suffering of others into account when making choices for ourselves.”

“PETA stands for nothing but hypocrisy! PETA kills 90% of the animals that they get their hands on. Ingrid Newkirk wrote of getting to work early so that she could kill more shelter dogs and cats.”

“Ahem. ALL us practicing omnivores know that iLoveOldNY was not gathering from this one PETA commercial that vegans and/or vegetarians generally have a "holier than thou" attitude..­. And you proved yourself to be one of them:

"Some of us are more open to taking the suffering of others into account when making choices for ourselves.­" - tjwdraws

To me, that screams "I, and people like me, are better than you because we live this way."

Major fail, mother Teresa, major fail...”

LauraD replied on Nov 24, 2009 at 15:59:03

“One commercial?

I'm sorry, but the organization that wrote a nasty letter to the President after he swatted a fly is absolutely holier than thou and no rant from you or anyone else will change that.

Just because you like them doesn't mean they aren't self-righteous blowhards.”

“1000% Agree.

In addition production of meat wastes precious resources and does incredible environmental damage.

Farmers should plant (and rotate) crops to feed people not livestock!”

“Joe LIEberman once said:

“I have long supported the goal of universal health care,” Lieberman told reporters. “Ned Lamont can talk about it. I’ve been doing something about it all the time I’ve been here.”... That was 2006. Now he says let's wait a few more years. LIEberman doesn't have a care in teh world about healthcare.

“The movie you reference was created in England for Brittish television and was a fictional account of an assassination not a call to violence.

The right wing threats are from within.

The teabaggers , Faux News models and right wing hate radio are whipping up rabid and unfounded hate for Obama unlike anything I have ever seen. To compare gun toting teabaggers, polls about killing the President, and violent inciting banners and signs at corporate funded rallies to a made-for-television movie in a foreign county is ludicrous.”
