TheArchfiend Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i dont think fish drink  I saw Aquaman drinking at a bar one night cause he was upset that he was such a pathetic super-hero. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yeah, and Aquaman abused those seahorses, big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Housepets? Like cats and dogs? No. They aren't against that at all. They are just strong advocates of neutering and controlling the population so that stray animals don't suffer. They are big on adoption. They are certainly not against having housepets. Â Wait, I thought they were for "complete animal liberation." There was a video fo the founder of PETA saying that posted earlier in the P&T video.

Hercules Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's kind of hard to let domestic animals run free and wild since they have been domesticated. The best that can be done is to is to help control the pet population since there are so many without homes already, it is kind of senseless to have cats and dogs bred when there are plenty of animals in shelters. Â You know, just do it Bob Barker style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So basically, you're saying YOU are for population control(which is understandable). Last I heard, PETA didn't like pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goleafsgo Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 PETA are idiots. if a cure for AIDS was found because of testing on a mouse, PETA would be against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ^ Yes, but in his attempt to reach 1000 posts in a month with one line answers, we should really let that go and simply encourage him to reach his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 One major thing that I think PETA does that annoys me is that they seem to always focus on the negative. Nature has checks and balances, so eating other animals is not going to mess up nature. The only time it does is in the cases of mass hunting to extinction, which we all know is fought against by many people not just PETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Another thing to take into consdieration is the spreading of Development projects that are casuing deer, coons, and other animals to into the city. PETA was up in arms when the MetroParks rangers started to do some population control by extermination a few dozen deer. Keep in mind, we had an over-population in NE ohio. We had deer running thru downtown, where they were getting maimed and killed after getting hit cars, buses and trucks. It wasn't pretty. I'm not fond of PETA. IMO they are just another non-profit Organization that several people are getting very rich from. Â If we'd had no animal testing at all, could you imagine where we'd be?

Last I heard, PETA didn't like pets.  No. I'm saying that PETA is for that.  http://www.peta.org/mc/factsheet_display.asp?ID=134  http://www.peta.org/feat/cap/  http://www.peta.org/about/hamptonRoads.asp  I'm not fond of PETA. IMO they are just another non-profit Organization that several people are getting very rich from.  Call me gulible, but I actually believe their financial data and believe they use as much money as they can into what they do. I believe their highest paid are their lawyers, at about $60,000. Their president set her salary somewhere around $25,000 I believe (of course, the funds are paying for her travel too).

goleafsgo Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i just read an article on PETAs website saying that eating meat causes global warming . even though what they meant to say was: farming animals makes there be more methane released into the atmosphere becsause they fart alot. and they forgot to mention that global warming is BS. Â i find it annoying how they are trying to convert everyone to be like themseleves, it really pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ^ WTF is wrong with you? Seriously, I have no idea where I stand on these issues, which is why I've just sat back and read this thread without commenting, and let everybody else continue the debate. You don't seem to have anything constructive or inoffensive to say... Why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks Lou. Should I start a global warming thread to go along with the stereotyping thread  No need to thank me, to be honest I'd be inclined to disagree with many of your views, but you and a couple of others in particular, and many more to an extent, have argued your points intelligently and articulately, and I don't see why it should descend into some immature name-calling discussion, which is what seems to happen whenever goleafsgo posts here.  Probably the best thing to do is to just ignore his posts in this thread and carry on around him, IMO.

ScOtT k Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Goleafsgo, If you think global warming is kook science, you are a fool. The earth's average temp has risen by almost 3 degrees in 50 years. Anyhow, you are an idiot, you manage to say something offensive in every post. Most members even tried to respond politely to your foolish posts.

However, I could have sworn I read somewhere that they didn't support having "pets." I could have misinterpreted something, but I was lead to believe they didn't want me having a dog.

BeemerBoy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 goleafs, you wouldn't happen to be related to a Mr. Octane, would you? Just curious. And I'm kind of like Lou on this....the thread has gone so many different directions, and I've got so many conflicted feelings on just about everything posted, so I've just decided to watch from the bleachers while those of you with intelligent material continue to debate (you guys know who you are ).
