Re: E A R T H L I N G S
What a happy thread. Let's recap: Someone posts common knowledge. Some people say "WTF, no 1 cares!" Other people say "STFU, u r jerks!" More people say "OMG, no im not!" And people say "LOL, u totally r" Hurray! Let's contribute! Animals kill other animals in brutal, visceral ways. When too many animals kill too many… -

I just finished watching this documentary at a friend's house about human dependency on animals. I have been very deeply affected. We truely reap what we sow. WARNING: This documentary is explicitly violent and disturbing, and every bit of it is real. If you wish to remain in blissfuly irresponsible ignorance, do NOT watch… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
Well, I can't really finish the movie. It's a bit too much of a shocker for me. Always knew this sort of thing went on, just never saw it. And definitely never experienced it. I'm an animal lover, and a meat eater. I actually saw most of this movie as, "Humans eat meat and wear their skin as clothing. Here's how we make it… -

[ QUOTE ] like terrorism, eh? [/ QUOTE ] yeah exactly. Do you know how many people are in this country right now planning shit? Why do you think Best Buy, Circuit City and other places put limits on how many pre-paid cell phones can be purchased at one time? Yes this video shows some of humanities worst times towards… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
I haven't shared my perspective on the issue. I just think it's lame as hell you for to come in stating how you don't mind torturing cats (then you say you treat your animals amazingly, which is it?). And what does your first hand experience with imprisoned "potential terrorists" have to do with this issue? What does that… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
Such is the nature of the beast. I don't believe in, nor advocate cruelty to animals, however, whether or not you like to think so, we are animals ourselves. The human condition is not all that different than that of other animals. Looking at it from the lowest level, this is the way life was meant to be. Humans are at the… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
Makkon, just to play devils advocate, have you ever considered that killing and mistreating others is human nature? Developed over many many thousands of years through evolution. No different than the needs to live, eat, reproduce. As bad as it is to even imagine that, has there ever been a time in recorded human history… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
Mishra, you obviously didn't watch the documentary. THey never once told you not to eat meat or not to buy leather. The whole purpse was to make you aware of what was going on. They wanted you to be aware, grasp this whole concept of "just because it's an animal doesn't give me the right to exploit it" and to show a little… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
You really have to take this documentary with a hand full of salt. I think they should have cut the music for one thing, it evokes sadness that can bias your own opinion, adding to that, they're only showing the worst of what goes on. It is sad that animals are subjected to cruelty though, would be better if people raised… -
Re: E A R T H L I N G S
ok i take responsibility, can i go back to torturing animals? the thing is that they are a lesser life form. needless cruelty is never warranted, however, packing animals in dank dark places for profit is the result of capitalism. sure it may not be right, and the food tastes poorer than free range cattle or poultry, but…
