... your crap.

You might have a more enjoyable time if you find out that there are more than two threads here. Also more than two opinions.

To be fair, she has posted in several non PETA and non animal threads and she has started a few non PETA threads. True she seems to only get really passionate in the animal and PETA threads, but we all have our specific topics that draw us the most.

Oh, and UT isn't "the boss" as such. He's the guy with the machines in his basement.

Garnet HAS posted in other threads, but people seem to keep wanting to bait her on back to these two. I never got to see her original posts, so I don't what extremist things she may (or may not) have said, but based on the available evidence, I think we need to all give her a break for a change. And, let's face it, the guy who pays is always the boss. UT is pretty low key about it and EXTREMELY tolerant, but he can pull the plug any time he feels like it. Sounds like the guy in charge to me.

For the record, I did my garnet-baiting in the weight thread. Hey, I'm a carnivore, she's an herbivore, it's only natural.

Aren't herbivores bred to be prey anyway?

At first I was saying to myself, "Not again..." but this is going to be an interesting read.

Hi Lookie, how are ya?

Naw, the liquor companies don't care about PETA, but the cattle ranchers, KFC and Outback Steakhouse do. These guys give a nice donation to the CCF (fully tax-deductible, by the way), and the CCF "reciprocates" with a "PETA Kills Animals" billboard in Times Square. The liquor companies get their piece when the CCF bashes the AMA, MADD, etc.

Are the listed numbers in some way incorrect?

Were the quotes actually spoken as they were attributed?

Did they actually produce and distribute this comic book to children?


And the first mother-fucker that hands something like that to my child gets to play christmas tree, by the way.
