PETA Recap/Summary

Trilby · 08-11-2004, 12:19 PM

thanks, Garnet! I am flattered that you think so.

Hang in---and if you post some pics of hot PETA chicks you might find a whole lotta converts at your door!

Boy, leave town for a couple of days, and you miss all the fun. Garnet, you seem to be holding you own nicely. Lots of time new members can really get under the flame throwers. I certainly did, but decided to stick around and irritate everybody just for the hell of it. I've had great fun playing devil's advocate and have gotten a pretty tough internet skin (Mine is that new sparkly glow in the dark fish net style - you might look around e-bay for some latest fashions in that area).

As for eating meat, I think that's a matter of personal choice. I eat meat and as a Buddhist, I feel rather guilty about it. I do not believe in taking the life of other living beings, so what am I doing chowing down on bacon and steaks? Being a hypocrite, that's what. I was a vegetarian for several years, but then I lost a whole bunch of weight and became anemic (NOT due to being vegetarian, it was a health condition I'd acquired), so the Doc's told me to start eating meat again. At this point, I now weigh TOO much and am seriously considering going back to being vegetarian again for both health and ethical reasons. Meat is a nasty habit to kick, though - as bad as smoking or any other addiction.

Well, this topic has officially used too many cuss words, so my net nanny won't show me Page 7 anymore...

Well, hey, let me know if you're looking for any specific info if you decide to make the change back. I know all kinds of nifty sites with tips and stuff. I have a wealth of vegetarian propaganda at my findertips...

Sure, PM me with your vegetarian "propaganda." I know I'll be happier with myself if I quit the stuff again!

Why would you go back to grazing if you had to give it up for health reasons?

Has your metabolism shifted?

Well, yeah, I think it has. For me, its easier to loose weight if I eliminate things like red meat, butter and cheese from my diet. That's just my personal body chemistry. Maybe everyone else is different. To each his own. If someone is content with a meat-eating diet, I'm not going to have a cow over it.

11) If PETA does launch a “plant rights” campaign, will it include weeds? If so, does that mean that your members will have to quit smoking weed?

15) Would you be offended if I mowed my lawn? I love this one....

16) Do PETA members eat animal crackers?

From the article Wolf listed.

Heather did a fine job addressing the first two, as for animal crackers I believe we've got some in the vending machine!

Hey thanks for recapping there. That wasn't what I was looking for but it was nice. No cutting sarcasm, no harsh language......very matter of fact. I like it.

Looks like you lucked out on the weed thing.
