Fortunately, my brother had made some smoked turkey and brother in law
made some smoked mullet.

Why would someone be branded a "nut case" because they've decided on a
healthier lifestyle? Seems as though you wingnuts instantly brand
someone that doesn't live your exact lifestyle as nutcases or some
such. Why is that?
And I LOVE smoked mullet.

It's not so much being the veggie head that makes them "nut cases". It's
the other aspects of their personalities that seems to go along with
that lifestyle, at least up here in the North

I had a friend that was a vegatarian. It was just crazy in her mid
thirties hearing her try to tell us that "no animal in the world really
eats meat, only us". What I said? What about Lions I asked? She
explained to me that Lions don't eat meat, "they rip open the animals
and only eat the stomach contents of grass and stuff"! That was about
when I admitted I was an animal and a terrible person for eating meat,
and went on with it...- Hide quoted text -

Most vegetarians aren't concerned with whether animals in the wild eat
meat or not. Most are concerned with human consumption gone wild. What
we have in this country now days is NOTHING short of animal factories.
I've seen it first hand. Animals aren't treated with any regard to
pain, living conditions or anything short of getting them fattened up
and ready for sale. There is also the aspect about what those huge
farms are doing to the environment, let alone eating diseased
animals.
Isn't this a lovely sight:http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_cows.asp

I really doubt that if there is a God, he'd want us treating his
creatures like this.

Loogy, why jump on this as a political thing? I have a niece who is a
veggan. She's also a conservative. She's also weird, which she wasn't
until she started the veggan stuff. Nothing political about it.- Hide quoted text -

Where did I say anything political?

Gosh, perhaps I misinterpreted this line you wrote earlier:

"Seems as though you wingnuts instantly brand
*someone that doesn't live your exact lifestyle as nutcases or some
*such."

Usually you use the term 'wingnuts' when you're referring to
conservatives, i.e. 'right wingers' (as opposed to 'wrong wingers', I
guess).

I suppose you're using the term 'wingnuts' to refer to anyone who
isn't a 'veggan' or other non-meat eater?

I'm referring to a wingnut as what it is:
From the Online Slang Dictionary:

wingnut
?someone lacking in mental abilities, uneducated, rather than mentally
handicapped.
he's a a real wingnut!

From Merriam Webster:

Main Entry: wing nut
Function: noun
Date: circa 1900
1 : a nut with wings that provide a grip for the thumb and finger
2 slang : a mentally deranged person
3 slang : one who advocates extreme measures or changes : radical

So, the question would be asked, why are YOU making this political?

Oh wow, I didn't even know such a dictionary existed.

I must apologize then for thinking that you were turning an
informative post into a political statement. You were actually just
'name-calling', like Harry does all the time.

Sorry, I should have known that you weren't saying anything political.

Not to mention trolling for the Christian response bringing God into it
in such a manner. You shouldn't apologize, it was a troll...

No, it was a sincere comment. You believe in God, correct? Do you
think He'd approve of someone treating animals as in the vid?Do

Do you think Obama does?? How about Pelosi and Reid, they have a clean
majority in the house and senate and a lock in the Whitehouse? It was
another wrong winger slap at conservative values just like the comments
above about being against all change.. Just political crap strewn into a
non-political conversation... again...- Hide quoted text -

I made NO political replies in this thread, you have made several
however.

Maybe you wouldn't understand, but when you bring God in, you also bring
in my conservative side... You bring in politics.

Bull****. Are you really saying that you must believe in God to be
conservative and if you do believe in God you HAVE to be
conservative????
Christianity has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics. NOTHING.
