BS, I had not seen that before. Thank you for your post, it has brightened my day.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) The Grammys are really awful. Katy Perry was nominated for Album of the Year. How do people take this s*** serious. How does Arcade Fire win album of the year but lose their subcategory? WTF?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) WTF do you have against PZ? His being a pompous douchebag in general, but particularly the whole "New Atheist" bulls*** subculture where atheism is turned into a religion and Meyers is one of the leading evangelists. From what I know he does good biology.

Meh, most of the comments do a pretty solid job of framing my thoughts. What was the point of that article, except to b**** for b****ing's sake? Response to the article found in the comments: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroa...foodies_are.php Response in Salon as well: http://www.salon.com/food/francis_lam/2011...dies/index.html Why is it that people with the name "initial""initial" Myers, both this BR Myers and PZ Myers, seem to be pompous, egotistical, elitist and evangelical douchebags?

Bad Religion is still a band? Wow.

Hey BS, any good vegan or vegetarian meals you can recommend for someone who doesn't particularly like vegetables? What do you eat for protein?

Dunn. i was between him and Alexi.

I guess it makes you think about the question of why meat is so ubiquitous in today's society--would you eat nearly as much if it wasn't so readily available and prepared? Boneless, skinless chicken breasts allow consumers to be pretty far removed from the idea of actually killing and eating a chicken.

A more fair question would allow you to raise and slaughter your own animals. Basically, "what type of farmer do you want to be?"

It really misses the entire point of criticizing farm-raised animals. If we eliminated all factory production of pigs, cows and chicken, we wouldn't suddenly have a glut of uncontrolled population with no predators running through the countryside. It's a specious argument. Animal population control is unrelated to the "should we eat meat?" question since wild game accounts for such a tiny, tiny percentage of meat eaten in this country.

Low-flow toilets=doesn't work toilets. though I would like to get one that has both flush powers.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) For me, it is. Not actually reading it (because in most cases I have legitimate access), but accessing it via an unauthorized medium (the commercial Internet). Just because classified information appears in public doesn't mean it's de facto declassified so if I started browsing Wikileaks at work it'd be treated like any other security violation. Right, I heard this on NPR. You have a classification and you know the rules. You know if its above your grade. I don't have any sort of classification related to those materials, so it doesn't really matter for me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 04:45 PM) I had you confused with another poster. My regrets. I was trying to bait you into posting these guys: edit: I've also reported your harrassing posts to Balta, ss2k5 and lostfan.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) Is that the one where some guy shows how there is gas coming out of his kitchen sink and he lights it on fire? They had a guy on the Colbert Report once who talked about that topic and showed a clip from his documentary. Yes. The concern is over the "cracking" process where the pressurize the rock by pumping a bunch of chemicals into it to free up the gas. It's not supposed to get into water tables and underground aquifers, but it does.

You know they're getting some sausage on the side.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) If you happen to have any Q's about the actual facts of the movie, feel free to pass them along. How much money was he paid by eco-terrorist NWO liberals bent on destroying good, wholesome, clean, profitable energy that benefits everyone?

You mean sickly and malnourished. This isn't a ethical or moral question but one of effort. It would take a hell of a lot of time to kill and butcher an animal versus just going to the grocery store and getting vegan food.
