If he has children and they survive childhood sane enough to read I bet that'll make em feel treasured

There's hope yet...

Here's a view of the way down that they would have had to go to meet the greeting crew.

Sheesh and they say to get a pet if you want something to love (to underage girls that want a baby). Damn crazies. :thumbsdow

In other words, balls first - ensuring that if he made it to the ladder, he would not in fact have children even if he did survive.

Good 'un TS, thanks for the shot.

Unlikely, very unlikely. One way in, means one way out...

Thanks, there's a lot of gee-whiz factor to tooling around the ocean in a 2 billion dollar go-buggy.

I know how you are about your IoTD and QI shots, so here are some good shots of an improved version of the boat I was on.

Fast and black and never come back...

I thought vegetarians weren't allowed to eat meat

Besides, some of my friends are vegetarians not because of a love of animals but because they hate plants just that much!

Let my vegetables go.

I think that they should issue tags for PETA members, just in case one accidentally gets in between you and a deer.

The idiots trying to board the sub sound more like Greenpeace ... or there is also a more radical batch of those fellahs ... Sea Shepherd, I think.

Bet they hate it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Anybody else have a good laugh reading the sidebar that indicates that the French did it?

I am organizing a counter-protest publicity stunt on the other side of the street, "Donkey Show for Eating More Meat"

jaguar · 07-28-2004, 02:58 AM

Greenpeace does some fairly crazy stuff but I doubt they'd try and board a nuclear sub.

wolf · 07-28-2004, 03:08 AM

They've done it before.

On the whole meat is murder issue...

I refuse to listen to PETA or anyone else who would encourage the consumption of harvested grains or vegetables in favor of eating from animals that are slaughtered. Take a wheat field that's ready for harvest. That wheat field is an ecosystem. You're going to find critters from all points on the food chain, from bugs to birds, mice to snakes and foxes.

Now, run a harvesting machine across that land. The bigger things like foxes and birds can easily flee the area when the tiller comes around, but woe be to all those small animals. The ones that nest above ground have no where to run and they can't outrun some of those machines. The ones that have nests below ground only have a short time before the field itself is tilled. And the small critters are opportunistic maters, so they could have families at any time of the year.

Unless I'm misreading/misunderstanding where PETA stands on the whole animal rights/animal suffrage issue, PETA ought to be doing something to stop these ritual mass-slaughters of small fuzzy things that live in these grain field habitats farmers create. Stop the merciless culling of the voiceless small animals who are lulled into a false sense of security by man with their fields of abundant food and ample cover from predators! *waves her Stick of Fuzzy-Thing Justice around* Maybe they can hold a Love-In down in front of these reaping machines in protest. We should get a picture of that too.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit back with one of my rats and carnivorously devour this double-bacon cheeseburger. (or I would if I was at home....*mutter*)

Bit of a difference between a peaceful protest and boarding with the intention to sink wolf.

PETA needs to stop blowing it's damn feet off, they're a bunch of damn nutjobs. There are some things I agree with - meat production is a very inefficient way to get food, animals should be slaughtered harmlessly and those kind of reasonable things but if they think my cat wants to be thrown into the forrest to fend for itself I wish they could ask it personally so she could scratch their eyes out.

jaguar · 07-28-2004, 08:17 AM

because killing journos and sinking a private boat protesting that oh-so-defenceable activity of irradiating the pacific is a defenceable act.
