Thread in GD about kitten killed to avoid paying vet bills.
And even then the specists couldn't avoid opening their mouths.

2. The story is bad enough.

6. I noticed more than one idiot.
I had to abort my typing a couple of times because my thoughts were too over the top to post.

I read the date wrong, so I have no idea who you mean. :shrug:

5. Jesus h christ on a stick, I didn't even say the P-word
And someone wants to turn it into a meat-eating vs. non-meat-eating thread.

And they claim that we're the fundies.

12. Lotsa folks don't like having their commentary derailed

13. I think we are all on everyone's ignore list at this point.
I wouldn't be surprised. I would try to stir the pot, but I am probably incoherent at this point. I am loopy on benadryl. Seriously - that stuff is too strong. :crazy:

16. I like it when you guys are "jerks."
I remember when I first started posting in the AR threads and the dynamic duo of flvegan and livinginphotographs were taking people to the mat. That was so much fun, and inspiring to see you guys say things that I would never say or even dream of saying because I don't have that much testosterone.

Men who were passionate about sticking up for vulnerable creatures. I'd never seen anything like it before and it was mesmerizing. And yeah, hot. LOL

I used to think intelligence was the most important trait until I discovered the most intelligent men are often some of the meanest. They know best how to wound with words, and some really, really enjoy using that talent. So intelligence isn't enough.

14. DU has really become a hateful place lately.
Any DUer that thinks it is acceptable to beat a kitten (or ANY animal) to death is NOT a true DUer.

I remember fondly a DU that consisted of people supporting each other and actually expressing progressive ideal and ideas.

Those days are long gone apparently.

:cry:

15. "Any DUer that thinks it is acceptable to beat a kitten ...
....(or ANY animal) to death is NOT a true DUer."

I agree 100%. These people are confused about their party affiliation, if not out-and-out freepers in disguise.

18. I originally posted that thread.
I guess I shouldn't have because I didn't realize that it would bring all the weirdos out of the woodwork.
