Last night, I went to GD and was

[flvegan]

called a feminist (quite the compliment, thank you).

Tonight...I'm Fred Phelps.

Please, my friends, remind me to stick to The Lounge, okay?

1. Quit whining, lezbo

[flvegan]

2. You watch it

or I'm gonna start breastfeeding right here, right now. AND, I'm going to coat my nipples in corn flakes before doing so!

[XemaSab]

5. I heard you have a bigger chest than most breastfeeding women

[flvegan]

11. In inches, yes. In importance, hell no.

I can move big things, but a breastfeeding woman, a mother, is creating big things, and I, and all men, will be forever overshadowed by that, and rightfully so.

[XemaSab]

19. I'd rather have someone around who can get the sandbags out the car

than someone who can lactate.

[LeftyMom]

20. Yeah, until you're out of soy milk and want coffee

Then the lactating mommies kick ass. :silly:

[flvegan]

22. As an evolved male, I'm prepared.

I always keep a half gallon of soymilk in the fridge.

Hmmph.

[LeftyMom]

24. I always get the shelf stable stuff by the case to keep from running out

Life was much easier when I had the backup supply in my bra.

[flvegan]

31. Well, I'll trade you

How many half-gallons of soymilk can I trade for what's in your bra?

Oh yeah, I'm bad.

[LeftyMom]

33. Hon, you could trade the contents of my bra for airfare anytime

:loveya:

[eyepaddle]

52. Hey this goes for both you and LeftyMom--why in

the hell would you contaminate perfectly good coffee with MILK?!? :scared:

(fyi flvegan...I keep soy milk around too, it goes great on cereal!) ;)

[LeftyMom]

53. I don't drink coffee

(and for that matter, I seem to recall that flvegan doesn't either) but he'd already mentioned breasts and lactation so I was morally obligated to keep the silliness going for the lounge's sake.

Vanilla silk on maple pecan peace cereal is one of the best breakfasts ever.

[eyepaddle]

54. Yeah, I figured--I just saw my chance

to imply that putting milk in coffee was "contaminating" it. A boss of mine used that expression once and for some reason I thought it was really funny--I wouldn't actually get worked up over what you put in your coffee (the coffee you don't drink that is ;))

I just wanted to ignore the main line of silliness and branch out, broaden it up a little.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

26. I am so taken aback by this I don't know whether to laugh

or be totally grossed out or both.

[LeftyMom]

27. Laughter would be best

:hi:

[XemaSab]

29. Righton!

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. !..!...!

:spray:



That right there was the funniest thing I've read all night! :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

3. Uh oh

Pointing me at arguments with omnis=fun, but not smart.

[jonnyblitz]

4. he was implying that vegetarianism/veganism is as fanatical

as religion. snicker.what an asshole. i bet you thought you were on a progressive discussion board didn't you? I am always amazed at all the "dittohead" like comments i see here on a daily fucking basis.

[flvegan]

7. Sometimes I think

I took that wrong turn at Alberquerque...

The worst part is calling them on it, then they play chickenshit about it.

[jonnyblitz]

14. I am glad you do call them on it though.

:thumbsup:

[flvegan]

16. Like you said

I think I'm on a progressive discussion board. If I didn't call them on it, then, well, that'd not be too progressive, eh?

[cynatnite]

10. and here I thought vegetarians were born that way

:hi:

[jonnyblitz]

13. ...

:hi:

[Bucky]

6. Whey they call you Fred Garvin, I'll be impressed.

Fred Garvin, male prostitute!

[cynatnite]

8. I'd hire Fred...

What a man! Need some seductive poses right now.

[Bucky]

12. You want seductive poses? Try these, bay-bee (Warning: VERY sexy!)

[cynatnite]

38. Nobody does it like Fred, though...

No woman could turn down this hunk of man. :loveya:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Last night I was in there defending birth control

I'm a vegetarian, I don't know if I have another one in me though.

[jonnyblitz]

17. hell, LOTS of people are vegetarian/vegan. I aspire to be at

the least vegetarian. oh well. :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

18. You know we'd be happy to help with that in the veg group, right?

'cause we would. :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. You are the people that put me on my path to a new diet

I poked my nose in there and BAM! they'd slapped me with links and list out the wazoo! I've been off and running ever since. :toast:

[LeftyMom]

25. That's so awesome

:party:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. My formal one year is April 1st

I'm still a newb.. :)

[flvegan]

35. That's incredible!

Well done.

You should maybe consider a journey down there to tell those good folks about it. Not only would it be a boost to them, but also, with the feedback I KNOW you'd get, a boost for you.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Excellent Idea

I tend to neglect the groups on DU and all the wonderful people who post there.

It really is a shame and I don't know why I do it.

[LeftyMom]

44. Yay!

I'll have been veggie four years March 1st. It took me another 6 mos or so to go vegan, which was cool because my goal was to do it in a year.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

47. March 1st is my b-day

We should celebrate together. :)

Congrats to you a wee bit early! :toast:

[jonnyblitz]

48. I will check it out later when i get a chance to sit online for a bit.

My good pal MAHNY has mentioned the Veg group to me so I am aware of it. I appreciate your reponse! giving up meat, for me, is hard like quitting smoking, which i successfully did over 6 years ago,btw. :hi:

[flvegan]

21. Come visit us, then

in the Tofu Ghetto, here at DU.

We could care less what you eat, wear, use...so long as you, as you stated, aspire to eat, wear, use...less.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=231

If you tell them that I, flvegan, sent you, I get a free toaster. So, you know, nudge nudge, wink wink, drop my name on the invite if you visit, ok?

[jonnyblitz]

49. LOL, thanks! I will check out it later today...

I fell asleep last night before I saw the responses to my post. :hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. If you would like to poke around there

There is the Vegetarian and Vegan group on DU. I highly recommend it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=231

[jonnyblitz]

50. damn, I could i refuse to check the group out now!!

all these friendly posts in response to mine! thanks! :hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

58. wait, you do?

:shrug:

[jonnyblitz]

62. YES! i just don't aspire too hard lately, that's all..

:P

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

63. ...

:P

well you did eat veggie with me ;)

[liberaltrucker]

28. I, for one respect your views

If the vegan life is for you, go for it.
I, on the other hand, love a thick, juicy steak.

I also love to hunt deer and game birds
(wild ones that may well outsmart me).
Any creature I kill, I eat.
I'm a very good shot with both a rifle
and a shotgun. I WILL NOT pull the trigger
if there's ANY doubt it'll be a clean kill
with no suffering by the animal.

Nature is much less considerate.
For instance, a deer reaches the ripe old
age of 10. By then, it's unable to escape
it's natural predators. Said animal is literally
ripped to pieces, while still alive, by, say,
a panther or pack of wolves.

[flvegan]

34. And I respect yours. However, in response to your post...

so?

"I love...a steak"
"I love to hunt deer (btw, it's not hunting, it's shooting and killing)"
I I I I I I I I I I I I

Do we see a pattern?

Nature is less considerate in many instances, but man is even less so in many more.

I do appreciate and respect that you regard the life that you take with reverance. I also understand your point, and I hope you understand mine.

[liberaltrucker]

36. I most certainly do

Try hunting deer with a Nikon instead of a 30.06
The technique is the same. A REAL hunter outsmarts
his quarry, whether the "weapon" is a camera or a rifle.

We can disagree without being disagreeable.
:pals:

[flvegan]

39. Indeed.

I agree. A hunter does just that. I find that there are very few "hunters" these days, though.

And yes, we can disagree, but we can also be disagreeable about some topics. So long as we meet on the same page on other things, considering where we're discussing those topics, we have no problems, right? I mean, we're not talking on www.antihuntingunderground.com so, the way I see it, so long as we see (at least close to) eye to eye politically, we're kin here.

Am/are I/we right?

[liberaltrucker]

43. Politically, I'm as liberal as you

Maybe more(see my profile). If we disagree on some
other issues, so be it. That's what the Big Tent
is all about:toast:

[NMMNG]

40. Wow, aren't you the radical?

:hug:

[flvegan]

41. Either I've mastered multiple personalities, or I'm a feminist Phelps.

Go figure????????????

[NMMNG]

45. I have a third option

Some of the people in GD don't make sense.

[LeftyMom]

46. .

:spray:

[EstimatedProphet]

42. I saw the thread. I didn't think it was all that bad

You held your ground after all. He ran off.

[KitchenWitch]

51. That is okay, I made a post in there and it got locked!

Within an hour!

[Left Is Write]

60. You did?

[KitchenWitch]

61. Yes!

It was a Clenis post, and it got locked by the generic Moderator.

[Benfea]

55. That place sounds like a real cesspool

I'll have to spend some time reading and posting there sometime. ;)

[LostinVA]

56. Well, it's YOUR fault for being one of those weirdo vegans

I know for a fact you all belong to Phelps' Westboro Nutcase Church. For a fact. All it is is a Vegan front organization.

[LeftyMom]

57. While we're talking about that thread

Let's have a round of applause for Lorien! Way to tell it like it is! :woohoo:
