I killed two tomatoes tonight. I feel so dirty. I mean, it's like abortion, all of those seed that will *never* grow into baby tomato plants. These were tomatoes on a vine no less. I had to pluck them from their vine. I hope I didn't hurt them too much.

It's not like I enjoyed it. Well, the ranch dressing did taste good on them, but really I tried not to enjoyed it at all. I cut them in half. Then in quarters. Then in eighths. All those potential little lives.

Who speaks for the tomatoes in the world? Who speaks for the plants? Sure, you talk about animals and fish and eggs and milk, but plants don't talk or move or have a very good lobby. No one protects them. They just eat them.

At least we didn't have bread tonight. Poor little wheat kernels, crushed and ground for flour and baked for the pleasure of thoughtless unfeeling wheat eaters.

It's called Natural Selection.. They're just unfortunately lower on the food chain. I mean, yeah, they're killed en-mass in a "not so friendly" way. However, we as humans are bigger and are carnivores (or omnivores, or vegetarian/vegan). That's just the way it is.

What can I say... ROFL!

Absolutely excellent MO. I especially love the reference to the unsung plight of those poor, poor wheat kernels!

If you have access to a PC equipped with either Powerpoint (Office 97 or better) or OpenOffice.org (2.4 or better), download this Powerpoint presentation. It is a hilarious test to determine if your cow has mad cow disease. Open it and then double click the sound icon under each cow to run the "test". I still fall of my chair laughing when I play with this, and I have had it for years.

BTW unfortunately this does not work on a Mac, even one with MS Office installed, as the embedded sound files seem to need Windows Media Player.

aww.... someone booted that guy the message was for. He was taking everyone way to seriously. lol

I have a Mac, Mac57. We are on Mac-Forums. This is not Window-Forums and your name isn't Windows57. How dare you even imagine I own a Windows box or have access to one!

I tried it about 35 years ago - don't know what I was thinking.



Of course with all the other things this old hippie was doing back then, probably wasn't doing much thinking at all ...

All I can say now is ...







Where's the Beef

Now now now Bryan, I have a Mac too, but I am forced to work with Windows on a daily basis because of work. I know that a lot of us here are in the same boat.

You are clearly a lucky fellow, if you do not have the Windows boat anchor foisted on you daily. Excellent, I am glad to hear it. For the rest of you, do check out the presentation. It is ROFL funny!

I have the privledge of working on a Dell at work. It's probably too old (P3 500MHz) to run a media file in Powerpoint. It also doesn't have speakers.

this thread is hilarious. Im glad people can say their opinions without having to be "politically correct".

i hate vegans, every time there around and i want a burger, they call me a "savage" or "your insensitive to my feelings eating meat around me".

I say. your dumb for not eating meat. We have always eaten meat, and by not eating meat you are going against our humane nature. and your being insensitive for calling me names because i am just following my instincts. now leave me alone wile i eat this delicious choped up cow on a bun.

and MO, i feel the same way. PLANTS HAVE FEELING TOO YOU KNOW.

i love this community (L)

To quote Kenny from Kenny vs. Spenny: (in a roaring and drooling voice) "I haven't eaten meat in three days, i'm meat crazy, I need meat, I need carni flesh, I need to drink the blood of the beassst."

Meat is good.
