may not have central nervous systems but they are still alive and must be treated with respect

Are you just trying to goad me into going off on your ass? Are you a PBM dual?

$100 in TK money says it's PBM. She's disappeared, this new hippie persona turns up.

^I believe faceman already confronted Cloudscum with that. Notice the affinity for flower-power icons and the general friendliness.

I'm not Pthalo - I barely even know her, and didn't realise she was of the hippie persuasion - she sounds cool though.

I'm actually not a veggie - but I'm studying radical resistance groups at university at the moment.

one of the arguments that the animal liberation front gives, is that they draw a line between harming creatures that feel pain (eg. cows) , and ones that don't, such as plants - thus eating vegtables is OK, and swatting mosquitos is fine.

this sounds pretty hypocritical though - and am curious what others think

So, if we can't eat anything, we just die out.

That's just fucking retarded.

well apparently a diet of fruit is OK, because picking fruit does not actually kill the plant, unlike pulling up a vegatable

So we'll all be massively regular.

Nope, not me. :)

And the reason I haven't been around is because I've finally gotten a life.

I found a new job teaching. Finally. So, watch out, Number_6, I'm "back in the game". :D

AND....

I'm working on a reconciliation of sorts, with someone (you might say relieving the ketman in my soul ;) ). That's taking a lot of my time.

Keep on truckin', you guys, and don't trust anyone over 30. ;)

If by this you mean that in the case of 1)Insects; you flatten them with the nearest shoe or phone book, 2)Plants; you brush-hog the whole area to make room for a parking garage, strip mall or golf course, then I would agree.
