Haha so true DecadentDragon, so true. That is really all I can say about this topic, without getting to rude. I have already stated my opinions awhile back, and no one has really made any newer, decent discussion topics, so I really don't know why this thread is still so active.
Really? So because what I say basically disagrees with what your image of PETA, you want me to leave? Oh, but I'm just getting started. Stop being a fool! You can't simply block out the bad parts and only look at the good with ANY organization, or you are doomed to ignorance... and being called a sheep. I'll grant that the meat industry has bad parts in the treatment of the animals, but ANY industry does. The fruit and vegetable industry employs cheap illegal immigrants. The clothing industry uses sweatshops in China. The movie industry... porn. Need I say more on that one? The point is that every industry has some bad points but that's no reason to refuse to partake in the products they produce. I say for the umpteenth time that PETA is simply another terrorist organization that wants to incite division and hatred in our already war-torn world. Don't let them fool you otherwise. Obviously they're not going to tell you about the bad things they've supported... they want more members and more money.
Look, Megamickel, any major organazation has some share of bad things, and PETA has a bigger share of worse things. But, sorry for dragging this in, the christian church has done horrible stuff in history, yet you treat them like heroes.
What I'm saying is that just because you are against an organization because you don't agree with what they believe in, does not mean that they are bad. If you deny what I said about the church earlier, say, because they did it for god, PETA does what it does for liberty, which can be just as imporant. Also (another referance to god), doesn't god want all of the beings on earth to get along peacefully?
I treat WHO like heros? What the hell are you talking about? I believe that the church is riddled with greed and corruption. The fact that I am Christian does NOT mean that I support the church.
Okay, well that was an example. Whatever you support, you will never face the bad things they do. I'm not a supporter of PETA, but they are not terrorists. They have as much right to do what they do now than anyone else.
Mega, I understand what you are saying and agree with you in a way but you really need to calm down. I understand your angrey but calm down please. Skipper, you can't ask someone to leave becuase he disagree with you, it would destroy and kind've argument and this forum would be very boring. I also agree with hojoko, with anything you always do there will be bad and good things, some are worse than others.
Theres been some new matirel but with every topic theres only so much you can talk about. This topic has gone from anmal saluter to why it happens to PETA's crimes to SOTF(Survival of the fittest) to terriosim from Veggies and now I think we are on PETA's crimes agian. The topic has changed quite a bit.
I'm more pointing out that the PETA argument has been going on between two parties with a fair amount of apparent hostility, such that Calm has had to step in on multiple occasions. Having created threads on the other major topics, I now see little point in continuing an iterative argument between individuals on a public forum.
Well many arguments can be considered iretive by two different sides but the two partys in this argument just ahve to take a chill pill and this debate should be back on track.
There's no discussion there. I've proved what I've said, I've proved that the FBI's counter-terrorism unit has declared them "dangerous terrorists", and I've provided some examples of the things they've done. It's all subjective, though - some people may see these things as "just". Al-Queda saw their actions as just in the 9/11 attacks. I don't think either party has a right to do the things they do. To say that PETA has a right to commit illegal offenses is to say the same thing about terrorists all over the world who see themselves as bringers of "justice".
I agree with you 100% Mega but you do need to calm down about the topic. You will get it flagged and locked down if you keep getting so upset. Anyways Maga is right on this topic of discussion many things PETA has down can and is considered terrorism
CoD4 Quote "No one can be called a terrorist if their cause is Just"
As true as that sounds, you are not just yourself if you plan death before any other action is the way to make your cause have an effect. Therefor, you are a terrorist as you strike terror into the hearts of people.
PETA is just like that, completely agreed. But calling everyone terrorists won't do much but flare up an argument about radicalism, one that I'm tired of fighting.
O.K. I understand that peta is not perfect just like christains (mega) i am not asking you to leave beacuse you are disagreeing with me but beacuse you are being offensive. Eco terrorism does not meant to hurt anybody that is not hurting the eniroment in any major way. It is soley based and fousced on Slaughter Houses (shock suprise) if i did what people do to cows to a codiver (i think i spelled that wrong<--) I would be banned from the mediacal communtiy . Not one Seril killer has killed that many people like that http://www.ccadp.org/serialpresident.htm this one is not even close ! *V*
