• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any vegans out there?

Hmmm Very strange billboard indeed. Photoshopped 20yrs and 50lbs off while holding a lambs decapitated head. Reminds me of the prius peeps. Drive your go go gadget save the world thing hypermiling with a stupid smile and flip a light switch on when you get home. A for effort F for being Hippocratic.

I just had a moist piggy chop, spinach and carrots for dinner. Almost there i guess. New York on the menu tomorrow so nah i'll take and hunt my red or white meat on the ground or in the air but thanks.
 
Not around here....

All we see is ribs, steaks, cops, chicken, fish and no end to bacon...:roflblack: if I have to have a vegetable let it be wrapped in bacon...:thumbup: but have nothing against anyone who wants to graze with the farm animals....
 
I wonder what Alicia plans to do for the millions of sheep that could die from summe4 heatstroke or simply from being unable to get up after lying down after a few years of not being sheared ? She didn’t appear to clarify that on her billboard.;)

In case you haven't heard this one before. Vegetarian is an old Native American word that means "bad hunter". :roflblack::roflblack:
 
Vegetarian = Old Native American for 'Bad Hunter'!! :roflblack: :clap: I like that! :firstplace:

As Pete mentioned, I wonder if all these people protesting realise the extremely agonising deaths they'd be sentencing ALL the unshorn sheep to if everyone stopped shearing tomorrow.... :dontknow: and the slow & lingering deaths they would be inflicting on those currently on potentially 'no longer viable' farms if the wool market slumps significantly??!?:lecturef_smilie: Or that one of the few reasons these protesters even have the intellectual capacity to think coherently enough to come up with their ideas is that their parents fed them the necessary protiens found largely in meat products for their brains to develop sufficiently... or that one of the reasons we aren't still all covered in fur & sitting around with the rest of the apes picking nits & lice off each others heads & backs is that our ancestors ate those foods this lot find so offensive now!?! :gaah:

Maybe they'd be smarter to lobby for better treatment & more 'humane' shearing methods, but I bet they wouldn't want to let their 'ease of living' slip at all in order to fund that sort of stuff! But it's fine to protest just so long as it doesn't impact their way of life.... Yeah, destroy half the rest of the world's livelihood & ability to live, let alone live comfortably, that's fine by them, just so long as it's 'not in my back yard!' :shocked: PETA = NIMBY = another word for fu..... oh, hang on, that'd get me tossed off the Forum! :opps:

Speak for yourself, Peter. I am sitting here right now, covered in fur, with my wife picking nits and lice out of my hair;)......some of us haven’t progressed as far as you think.:D

I just wasn't gonna say anything about that Pete, but since you've 'outed' yourself as still being furry... :shocked: :roflblack: :thumbup:
 
Eat your meat in moderation

Eating is a learned behavior folks. Plain and simple.
I do not advocate what people should eat, but as a health care professional I will tell you what the science says: Diets high in animal proteins and Fats significantly increase your chance of heart disease. Period.
That said, enjoy your meat but do so in moderation, unless of course you do not care about your health.
Your diet should be Mostly vegetables, fruits, some nut meats, animal meats and of course carbs. Our brains and bodies need sugars and fats but there is more than enough fats and sugars in our foods without adding any.
Hopefully all of what I mentioned - you buy and prepare and consume in a minimally processed way.
If you are a die hard meat eater it's okay - just study your waist line and ask yourself if less might = more health.

Be safe, be healthy, be smarter about how you live your life.
 
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy. What to do?

I was planning to go rabbit hunting today!

But, oh the cruelty! :(

But, oh the rabbit stew! :D
I think I'm gonna go get me a rabbit!:ohyea:

Have you ever heard of "Paleolithic Nutrition"?
The theory is that we evolved as omnivores, and that nothing has changed...
We started out eating whatever didn't eat us first! :thumbup: That includes whatever part of the animal that we could choke down... :shocked:
Processed carbs became a cheap way to feed a lot of people about 120 years ago.
Eat all the meat you want to: it's not going to hurt you nearly as much as the fear-mongers say it will.

As far as those idiots from PETA: :cus::cus::cus::cus::cus::cus::cus:
They wanted to changed the name of a Town in the Mid-Hudson region of NYS. They wanted the Town of Fishkill, to change it's name to "Fishsave"... :roflblack:
Apparently they didn't know that the name has a Dutch origin: "kill" is simply a derivation of the word that means "stream". :banghead:

Is this the same science that one promoted smoking and had Doctors touting the benefits, or the science that said that eggs would kill us only to change it later, or the science that back in the 70s was worried about global cooling and wanted to spread coal dust over the arctic to melt the ice who have now decided we have global warming? Then again it could be the science that said the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth.

Or is this the same science told me I have k9 teeth for eating meat?

Just because science says it does not mean it is always right.

As far as looking at the waist line, I know some fat vegans also. Looking at the waist line tells you if you should cut down on calorie input, not just on meats.
 
There is no denying that we evolved by mostly a meat diet and then our evolution took off once we started cooking it. Vegetables were not added until our brains could understand what happened to the poor animals and people who were the genie pigs for trying that green and multitude of colors of veggies along with that stuff in the ground.

what we eat today and the fact we don't exercise like hunter gathers is a huge reason our spare tires in both men and women are what they are. Shoot, most people won't even walk to the mailbox let alone take the stairs instead of the elevator. Vegetables are a awesome thing there is no denying that. They are popular because they push out all the crap we eat and provide some of the nutrients we need to balance our nutrition intake.

im not saying eat anything you want but eat what your body tells you to eat. If you do that AND exercise all should be good.

Hmmm. I don't think this is about being a vegan so much as an effort to stop the mistreatment of sheep being sheared for wool production. I think there are probably more pressing problems in the world to be solved, but I also understand the desire to stop the unnecessary cruelty in these industries.
