Ok even *I* admit it’s confusing because posts don’t show up, or posts randomly are or aren’t approved on here so posts you wrote before you write later sometimes appear in the reverse order (does that make sense) I think either moderate all posts or let them ALL go up all at once.. but what do I know

I wasn’t ignoring the rest of your post and yes, I knew you’d tell me that the anonymity issue was only one part of your post.

Sure, JL if you want to include third world counties – they don’t eat based on factory farming. I was speaking mainly of this country (and sadly many others- more each day) who do rely on it. Bottom line is I would be hard pressed (even being in the veggie/raw/vegan world) to come up with many people who raise their own livestock and meat.

I still maintain it is a tiny percentage (ok in the United States- the country I’m in and this website is based in and the majority of the posters are in)

Also I did reply on your AR comments too… If you don’t like animal rights activists or their methods than, to borrow a phrase you used above, so be it

Bottom line, the MAJORITY of the people I have met in my life time. (I’d say 99.5%) do NOT grow their own food or raise their own freaking cattle and chickens in their backyard.

And even if they did have a handful of cows out back I’d still say that’s contributing negatively to our environment… Let’s face it. eating vegetarian is better for the environment. Scientists say it , the UN says it (some of your favorite people I’m sure

Glad to hear you’re a RP supporter… Congrats.

I have to say that you don’t seem to agree with much on this board. And yes you’re entitled to comment on whatever you like.. whenever you like. But I have to say (to borrow an analogy of another brilliant poster made) isn’t it a bit like being a straight man on a gay board? Why bother?

Just curious

(I think everyone loved Ron Paul deep down – the dems, the true republicans. it’s a wonder he didn’t do better in the primaries. actually a mystery.. maybe even a conspiracy?

RON PAUL.

(Woot.)

To reiterate: My “whole post” was NOT about anonymity, that was merely the first paragraph. My defensiveness stems from your lack of attentiveness! (I can’t believe those are words…)

If you can’t read past the first paragraph and answer the assertions that follow (you know, the *context*), then there is no point in me commenting further and I bid you good day.

That’s the best you could do?

Methinks you’re defensive because the whole point of your last post was that no one else (but me) reveals their identity on this thread. When, low and behold, two other people did as well. You were wrong and , not surprisingly didn’t want to admit it. Keep hiding behind your initials – easier to make insults on my “maturity level” (or lack there of I’m sure you’d say) or age when you’re a coward who won’t even say their first name.

but when you say “not one person in this thread used a last name , not a single identifier”

Steve and Myrlia not only used their real names (granted not last) but a link to their blog with their identifying information LAST name etc…

See?

You seem to be the ONLY person in this thread who won’t give at least their first name.

Do I think you’re in ALF? LOL.. No, maybe “Young Republicans of America” but not Alf

OH you know I’m just teasing JL… Sorry you aren’t a fan of animal right activists. (as he clearly states in his post) I look forward to seeing what the majority of this board (animal right activists) have to say in response to that.. I give you cred tho for speaking your mind… even if you hide behind initials

I say, if you can’t kill it or meet it, you shouldn’t eat it.

If people saw where their food came from, exactly, and its lifeline, (for ANY product), chances are, there’d be some major changes in this country.

But AR likes to penalize in blanket statements. Which is why I dislike AR. And why I often feel compelled to post my thoughts. But this isn’t the time or place for an AR v. AW debate. Maybe there should be a separate forum on this site for such a thing? Nah, this isn’t the place…
