Do Not support PETA.
Oct 1st, 2004 at 3:29pm
 
I have every reason to believe the People of Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are a rather BAD influence.  Having checked their GoVeg.com website once, they are doing it ALL WRONG in terms of vegetarianism, such as making rather exploiting ads. Angry

What makes me most angry at them, via blame, was how I've found Stop signs with the words "Eating Animals" plastered on them, and THAT IS VANDALISM ON A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, BECAUSE A STOP SIGN ONLY MEANS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, NOTHING ELSE THAT IS NOT TRAFFIC-CONTROL-RULED. Angry

I believe becoming a vegetarian (by moving onto a meat-free diet lifestyle) is one's own freedom of choice which should not be influenced by PETA's ignorance.  There should also be nothing wrong with one even trying to learn like and eat meat less.  And I suppose all that is true upon making friends who are vegetarians, and I can admire what their dieting ways are like. Wink

For you Jeff, I say this for you and Kelly.  As far as my rant goes, wouldn't you agree?  And...if you wish to delete this topic, I'll understand. Wink

...hmmm.  I agree with your sentiments, especially with regard to defacing traffic control signs.  I'd like to maintain this board as a place for discussing and sharing cartoons and art, though, so this is not the right place for your editorial.

There are better places on the web for sharing a rant, or blowing off steam.  I know of several boards for doing just that, including the Straight Dope at:

http://www.straightdope.com/

Lots of strong opinions there, including the "Barbecue Pit," where you can flame in any kind of language that you want.

Also, you might want to start your own LiveJournal, for sharing your thoughts and feelings with ten million or so of like-minded friends.

..but please, no off-topic rants here on the Pseudo Comments forum.

Although I was indeed prepared if this topic would end up getting a pink slip, again sorry if again I may've went overboard.  Also, I have heard of Straight Dope and LiveJournal, but I'll really have to pass on those because I honestly don't often rant.  Another thing to consider, that neat song by Mr. Rogers, "What Do You Do With The Mad That You Feel?" 8)

On yet a happier note about admiring non-meat food, of course I like some fast-foods' veggieburgers.  Recently, I even had a chance to try some (one good Canadian meat company) Schneider's meatless(!) weiners (no-meat hot dogs), and they taste great, and how J.M. Schneider (the man who started it all) would be most proud! 8)
