I was close - April 1971
"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions..." -- John Kerry, on NBC's "Meet the Press" April 18, 1971
Rama bama bing bang sounds all bloated and pouty.
You done good Presidio..!
How typical of the Left. Bets that he/she/it won't even have the integrity to pull the post down after she's been proven wrong.
"nothing to see here, folks, move along"
She has a bright future ahead of her at CBS...
"I don't see the problem. His addition was in parentheses. I have always understood that whatever is in parentheses is the thread poster's additions, not a change to the original title. Kinda like adding (Barf Alert!). I am sure that "Barf Alert!" is never actually part of the original title."
My mistake there has long-been addressed.
I would also consider that, given the extent of his snivelling, he may even be a leftist troll or frequent lurker here that has no other outlet for his obvious discomfort, lest he exposes himself to the rest of us or gets a swat from the zot kitten. Maybe he was zotted or slapped down here before this.
I don't understand, but the terms "thin skinned" and "blowhard" keep coming to mind...
I saw that after actually reading the replies. Sorry for piling on.
Try an experiment. The next time you confront by a neo-pagan, New Age animal rights eco-fascist who claims humans were not "designed" or "meant" to eat animal flesh, ask them about the origin of their creationist philosophy. Inherent in such a claim is the idea that there is a "designer" or some divinity of "meaning" in human existence. Would they apply this to abortion, embryonic stem cells, drug abuse, pornography or homosexuality? No?
Hey You! Didn't you know that brackets are used by posters!? Whats WRONG with you?
:)
LOL. You might get a little hazed this AM.
"Another interesting point would be that you would need to be living on Mars to be hearing the theory that switching to a vegan diet would reduce bovine methane emissions for the first time."
Control the environment. Eat beef.
Which, using this author's logic, would go a long way toward ending global warming.
Good point, there. Something has to be done to control the cow population!
Rama is quite the girly-man, eh?
LOL
That's harsh. I think we should be able to execute them in the winter, too.
I assume that when he says "Forewarned is fore armed" that he means "four armed" since, as a glib, he wouldn't actually have access to any weapons...
Am I missing something? The emissions the author speaks of are emissions produced in the production and delivery of the food as opposed to our general flatulance.
Ok - I've read the original article and I must admit that your title biased my interpretation of what was being said. On my first pass I couldn't figure out what the author was complaining about because the article did indeed seem to be about our personal flatulence. But as I neared the end I caught the reference to automobiles and so I reread the article. After the first paragraph I got the authors point sooner and the article changed from being about our flatulence to the emissions produced during the processing and delivery of said produce. Did you read the entire article or just the first 2 paragraphs?
All of that being said - your title comment did sway my perception of the article. I guess I just have to pay more attention. ;-)
Do you remember when bison were endangered? Remember how liberal told us that before the white devils got here bison were practically standing shoulder to shoulder from here to the Rocky Mountains? Before we needlessly slaughtered every single one of them so we could make purses out of their ears and leave the rest to rot? Before we ended the decades-old plains indian nomadic culture (which liberals think existed for millenia, despite the fact that the locals killed off all native horses 10,000 years ago and had to appropriate our ferral ones)? Tell me something: Did those buffalos fart or didn't they?
