jakee 1,595 #153 January 26, 2010 QuoteThe way I see it, man was originally only a plant eater and then with millions of years they became hunters and brought meat into their diet (let's not forget these humans were barbarians) and now millions of years later, with technology the way it is- there is no reason for the meat to keep our vitamin intake up. If you're going to go back millions of years (even just one million) then you're not talking about man anymore.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,116 #154 January 26, 2010 > It's a physiological fact that we need a level of protein that cannot >be obtained by a vegetarian diet. We can get all the protein we need from a vegetarian diet, and indeed be perfectly healthy. The one thing we can't synthesize is B12, but cheese and milk have plenty of that. Eat a piece of swiss cheese a week and you're covered. I think you meant we can't get all the nutrients we need from a 100% vegan diet, which is true. >Eating insects went out of vogue for some reason and the steak >became epically popular so we're left with factory farming. Well, or any of the many options. We get most of our eggs from a friend of ours with a yard full of chickens, whose biggest stress in life is that the neighborhood Dachshund will get through the fence and chase them.

Teigen 0 #155 January 26, 2010 About time! What a bunch of f*cking douchebags! I hate Paul Watson and that crew! The Japanese whaling industry is HUGE! Yet they claim to halt their entire process by chucking butter and stinky bombs at them! I hope the Japs gets fed up and sink their stupid ship! If they REALLY want to throw a monkeywrench in the japanese whaling industry they should grow a pair, and start shooting! THEN perhaps Whale Wars would be worth watching! The fact that Paul Watson actually faked being shot proves what fags they are! "Oh i've been shot boooo f*cking hoooo.... Luckily this medallion was covering my heart, saving my life, we better sell this lie to the press" I DO think a good side effect of their retarded methods though, is that they create debate on the subject! Hunting any species to the brink of extinction is never a good idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhaig 0 #156 January 26, 2010 Quote It was mentioned that man incorporated tools into their dietary habits and it's the same for supplements, they are the next tool in the evolutionary process for human diet. True that the time might not be right now, but I think it will happen as it's already becoming fairly common and makes perfect sense. And if I'm still alive when that happens, I'll still love the taste of a fresh apple, or berries, even though I can get the same nutritional value from a pill. Just like today, I still love the taste of a steak, even though I can get equivalent protein through other means. It's personal preference, not evolution, that comes most into play here.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #165 February 27, 2013 Quotem I correct that this US Federal Court gave some weight to laws of and rulings in foreign courts in rendering their decision? Yup. Courts can do that - especially if there is no case on point in the US and there is interpretation of language for a treaty. So if Belgium is signatory to the treaty and Belgium had the first crack at interpreting the language, that interpretation has persuasive effect. Not binding, but persuasive.

Hey just need a surplus sub from one of the third world shitholes we sold them to and we can feed the commercial whaler crews ( add the fucking MAKAH too) to all the krill and crabs there. I'm not in favor of whaling, but I have always wondered how people could justify killing humans to save animals. Seems like conflicting values to me.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skypuppy 1 #168 February 28, 2013 Man, you have some weird ideas. This is not true at all... Where peaceful protest of any kind ends and terrorism begins is highly subjective. I guess we could call the idiots at the tea parties who carried guns while Obama showed up terrorists and the non-gun carriers as peaceful dissent. Unless what the gun-carriers are doing is illegal. Now if they're waving their guns around pointing them at people, or verbally threatening them while they're there, then yes, maybe you could call them 'terrorists', but if they're obeying the laws, they're not.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead. Bruce McConkey 'I thought we were gonna die, and I couldn't think of anyone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither is getting in the way of their water cannons. Maybe not, but I'm sure that intentionally piloting a vessel in an unsafe manner probably is illegal...If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme.
