In the local newspaper I found some click – to – give sites whch generate money for charities. A click on http://www.thehungersite.com donates 1.1 cup of staple food to a starving person, http://www.thebreastcancersite.com funds a free mammogram, http://www.therainforestsite.com helps preserve 11.4sq ft of endangered forest and finally, a click on http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com pays for one bowl of food fod a rescued animal. Plz, plz spread the word!
FOOD FOD? Ha, ha, ha! I guess you guys are smart enough to realise what it means.
Yeah, sad how we’re still perpetuating these awful cycles…*voice dripping with disgust and sarcasm*…but hey, it doesn’t ever affect us (at least not yet)…so why should we care? America: the land of self-absorbed consumerists. (I’m including myself in that category…I’m an ass, what else can I say?) But, you know, “we didn’t start the fire/ it was always burning since the world’s been turning…” Or you could just adopt the attitude that “it’s just another day.”
Michael L – ever read Ishmael (or any work by Daniel Quinn, for that matter)? He’s a trip, man, you should read him if you’re into the save the earth/ecology movement.
-E (who also likes a little Billy Joel after her nightly fix of Boingo…oh yeah, she also eats strictly organic food…yeah, go ahead and jump all over me for that one…gotta go hug a tree)
Hmm…you can blame the priests and traders for this dogshit..as Carlin would say.
@!#$, i wish i could eat organic food more often…don’t you know it – the stuff that’s actually GOOD for you costs MORE! What stupid sumbitch thought up THAT idea? Death is truly a cheap enterprise– minus the aftermath, which is expensive.I don’t eat organic food by choice, but because preservatives set off my neurological disease…god, what I wouldn’t give for junk food (sugarey cereal, pizza, something with CHOCOLATE in it would be nice…). It really blows, that’s all I have to say. However, it is a fairly cheap way to control the beast, since I don’t have health insurance… Ah well, that’s just the way the —- happens…

Yeah, well you’re lucky…You might actually live longer than me…and most people.
That’s kinda funny…anybody else notice how the average lifespan was significantly SHORTER before industrialization happened and our food manufacturers started adding preservatives and stuff?
Artificial ingredients won’t kill you, people. In fact, many of them enhance and lengthen your life. Stop listening to all the environmentalist propaganda you read.
Umm…yeah and the only problem with the preservatives life enhancing benefits is the cancer? I guess either way you can’t really have it good…Life’s a crapshoot.
The FDA bans any additive that gives rats cancer at even like 100,000 times the dosage that you would actually get in your food. They’re very ridiculously overly strict. But ANYTHING will kill you at those kinds of dosages. Vitamin C will give you cancer if you eat nothing but pure Vitamin C, sucking it through a straw non-stop 24/7.
Almost none of the additives that end up in people’s food have any harmful effects. There may have been a few highly publicized incidents where they have been harmful, but even then the news reports have been exaggerated, distorted, or even outright falsified.
If there’s a higher rate of cancer now than when people’s life expectancy was a decade or several decades shorter, it’s because of the simple fact that the longer a person lives the more likely he or she is to eventually develop cancer. I’ve been eating processed foods my whole life, I only very rarely eat “natural” foods, and they haven’t given me cancer. The same goes for hundreds of millions of other people in industrialized nations.
Don’t let the scaremongering get to you.
Qoute: “Hmm…you can blame the priests and traders for this dog—-.”
Incidentally, if you think priests should be “blamed” for this, you’re wrong. Religion always fights tooth and nail against any nutritional or medical advance, saying that we’re subverting the will of God or some such nonsense. You see, they want your life to be short and miserable.
Traders, on the other hand (the good, honest ones, anyway), want to make you happy, so you’ll keep buying their product, and want you to live longer, ’cause if they killed you, they couldn’t get anymore of your money!
I would love for my professional job to be left alone in a room for five minutes with someone who has abused an animal–because I’m thinking five minutes is all it would take….with the proper tools.
But really, I love gathering stuff up, and heading down to the local animal shelter. I mean, I’m always broke, but $5 bucks buys a lot of food–and you can always donate old blankets and used toys and such.
My general opinion is that people always forget animals–or at least save them for the last. I mean, you smack a kid, and it’s life in prison. You skin a dog alive, beat it as hard as you can, scold it with hot water, and it’s a $500 dollar fee– tops. Oh, and maybe thirty hours of community service.
And that really needs to change.
Thanks Erika! (WINK) I’ll certainly have a good look at those books!
Yeah, some drunk guy tried to kick the crap out of my dog the other evening when I let her outside. I unloaded all the days frustrations onto him, verbally that is, and then I reported him for disorderly conduct
Have a nice day!-E
If anyone ever so much as thought about hurting my dog, I would make them wish for the firey pits of hell–because I’m thinking Satan would show more mercy.
Yes, my poor aging dog has been really frightened since then…she’s not been wanting to go outside, and cowers in the corner whenever a car passes by…poor thing! Then again, I’ve always been more inclined towards being nicer to animals, as opposed to people. It’s pathetic: I cry like a 3-year-old during “Black Beauty.” Yeah, think what you want, but I love my dog more than any person I’ve ever met…yes, that reasoning and the fact that my dream is to live on a llama farm explain why I have such a plethora of dating options… *self-deprecating grin*
-E (who owns – amongst several other pairs of Chucks – a pair with a dragon design, and another with the Joker…yeah, I couldn’t think of anything else interesting to put as a closer…)
