You throw paint on me, and you're NEVER ever gonna use those arms again

Seriously though, you'll never get a positive reaction from people by bullying them, only resistance.

I've never liked PETA, and the "get over it" crap makes me resent them even more.

You're SO dead on Ivy, esp when you said that they care about animals than people.

I find it hypocritical of the folks in this thread who got bent outta shape by THAT comment from Kelis, and never even raised an eyebrow by Ingrid's remark about slavery.

The thing is Typhoon, is some people cannot be made to feel guilty about what they enjoy. Also, it's kind of a "he without sin" thing. Who are they to preach morality when they are not any better?

Please check out the link I posted.

And your point goes right out the window when you refer to her as a dumb bitch and suggest that she should be skinned. Unless we all are living some pristine perfect life, we really oughta leave people to theirs.

I think there ought to be a People for the Ethical Treatment of People.

Slavery isn't the issue here it's about the pain, suffering and needless death of millions that is happening right now.

If she made a remark about slavery that offended you, fine be offended if you wish, but don't use that to try and dismiss an organisation that tries to make the world a better place.

Animal abuse does not cancel out the history of the slave trade - that history will still be there if the needless killing of animals stops.

Vendetta1 said:

Because killing animals for their pelts is particularly horrific and completely unjustifiable - so people who support it are, at best, idiots.

Leather is part of the meat industry which many feel is a necessary evil.

So its ok for her to dismiss 500 years of oppression but not ok for us to not take her cause seriously? Whats wrong with this picture? You cannot equate human beings with animals,,,,even though some so-called liberals desparately want to believe otherwise.

She's passionate about her cause, fine by me, let her carry on. I don't wear fur by choice either but when you bully people as opposed to enlighten them, they'll resist you,,,,some are even crazy enough to harm you before you spill some paint on them. And when you're crazy, arrogant and stupid enough to dimiss history as you put it, people will develop deaf ears on you from that point on.

No, whats lame is what Pat Robertson and Rush Limpdick are rambling about Haiti while CHILDREN are dying by the dozens, and the fact that anybody who steps up to help get attacked for supposedly feeding a hidden agenda(and maybe some do), nevermind the fact that they're actually on the move to help PEOPLE.

Meanwhile this broad is busy on the task of only bullying CELEBRITIES to gain some fame when she could've used her organization for something worthwhile(Yes, I said it too) like I don't know um,,,,helping human beings for example?

Like say sending her organization to Haiti to help the victims and promote her cause in the process,,,,,short sighted as she as, she's probably on bended knees on Madison Ave praying to spot a celebrity with a furcoat on just to put her name on the news again.

PETA isn't an organisation that has the experience, resources or know-how (I don't believe I'm typing this) to help earthquake victims in other countries. I should have thought that obvious, but apparently not.

Individuals help people around the world every day. just sayin'.

PETAs leader was the one that brought slavery into the picture. Why isn't Kelis allowed to comment on it? Did you see the link I posted? Who is supposed to take people like PETA seriously? They come off nuttier than Kelis does and that's saying a lot because she is batshit crazy.

TheSkinMechanic said:

Correct, so now not only are we talking about a crazy person but a very idiotic one as well. And like Ivy mentioned earlier, she was the one who brought it up.



By bullying people?



I'm the one who started this thread so um,,,yeah.



Well use your mouth, influence and money to object and wait for the feedback but when you use your HANDS on somebody to object, thats not courage, thats bullying,,,,,and in result you haven't achieved anything but stubborn resistance,,,,ignorant or not, you failed to reach your main objective.



I wasn't referring to you in my previous post.



No, its called every action has a reaction. When you speak about a history with condescension and arrogance, you'll either get attacked or get mentally blocked. Both don't work for your favor.

Somebody buy me this.

I'm not campaigning for fur, but I do wear it.
I'm not campaigning for meat-intake, but I do eat it.
I'm also not by any means bashing anyone else for their beliefs. If you chose to be vegetarian and anti-fur, I think that's great for you. Stick to your beliefs. I'm nobody to judge someone else's moral values.

... I just don't mind bopping a chinchilla over the noggin to make me a scarf is all.

You would need about thirty of these killed for a fur coat.



Anyone who supports unnecessary violence, pain, death and the serious abuse of animals should count themselves lucky if all they get is a little so-called "bullying" from time to time.


I've now been convinced to join PETA.
