Sounds Delicious To Me.

Sounds delicious to me.

Sorry to ruin your strange little world but animals eat animals, this is the way of the world. Meat is not murder. When an animal has died for you - given up its chance of life so you can eat it and then you turn up your nose at its sacrifice - that is murder.

The willingness of either party in the exchange is a moot point because in the wild, do you think an antelope is in any way willing to let a lion/cheetah/leopard eat it? Do you really think that the plants you mercilessly eviscerate to put in your holier-than-thou salad particularly want to be shredded?

Okay, so we don't give the food we eat a fighting chance but I'm afraid that is just how things are and I really doubt it'll ever change, I certainly know what I'd rather eat given the choice.

But hey, the chances that you'll ever read this are slim and the chances that it'll in any way change your opinions are even slimmer, so for now I'll just say all the more for the rest of us.

Not quite the great escape

Bluebottle: "How are we going to get out of here!?"

Seagoon: "Don't worry lad - this evening I received a cake from a friend, and guess what was inside it?"

Bluebottle: "You mean...?"

Seagoon: "Yes! Raisins!"

"Apple has more cash than the US Government"

What a fucking stupid comparison.

While Apple are busy mugging gullible hipsters for their cash, the US Govt are trying to pick up the pieces of what the previous administration left behind. W spent 5 trillion dollars he didn't have on pursuing his various policies and Obama has had to spend 1.4 trillion on repairing the damage, given that the world is in recession and yet idiots with more money than sense are still throwing their cash at Apple, what a fucking surprise.

I really do feel sorry for Obama, if he wasn't picking up W's left behind crap, and wasn't having to cope with a hostile house, he could be doing so much good for the US - but hey, people never want things that are good for them, right?

It doesn't matter.

If you don't want to live in a world where the government can strap you down and force you to provide a life-saving organ transplant, you don't want to live in a world where the government can force you to carry a pregnancy to term. A person's right to life does not extend to using another person's body to survive.

I have accepted the lack of internal consistency from conservatives (you have to, to stay sane here), but ffs liberals, shut up about fetal personhood. Stop getting dragged into this debate! It is the wrong framing of the issue and I'm honestly terrified of what any "victory" under it would look like (like, increasing the mainstream acceptability of sentences like "they can't even x, therefore they're obviously not a person!" is chilling, no matter the original context.)

I don't have to donate my liver, I don't have to donate my blood, I don't have to donate my fucking uterus. It's that simple.

(could you imagine the "pro-life" conservatives meltdown if a state tried to institute mandatory blood donation?? I imagine they'd be saying "my body, my choice" pretty fucking quickly... Maybe we should actually do that 🤔)
