PETA and Ben & Jerry's Ice CreamFollow

Ungrateful wench, do you KNOW how hard it is to milk rice?

I don't drink a lot of milk. I get my milk from cheese, ice cream, etc. I keep it around because my son drinks it and there's always some recipe that calls for milk.

But I'm with Nexa. It's not so much that I'd have a problem with human milk, but the human it comes from. And offhand, I can't think of many women that would allow themselves to be locked away/monitored for the sake of clean milk.

Personally I find the thought of farming women for milk a huge waste of human resource. But then the Miss America Pagent is still going strong, eh.

...and while Nexa has a point about the quality of milk you may be getting (from women), the cows we currently mass produce for milk are pumped full of anti-biotics to fend off the diseases they routinely get from production dairies, oh and perhaps laced with some bovine growth hormones too. cheers.

I wonder if I sat out side their HQ's here eating some Ben and Jerry's, if they would say something.

A local radio show here used to hold an annual fishing tournimate here just out side their building lol.

Aside from that when my ex wife had our daughter, I was getting up for work 330am sux, and was making the coffee, yes I grabbed the breast milk instead of regualr, cause she put it a container similar to what I put my coffee mil in.

didnt taste to bad, just had a twang to it lol.

How do the Flat Earthers explain the Lunar Eclipses? (Where the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon)


I refuse to make an account and try to talk with people as stubborn as those appear to be.

Alright, here ya go:





Yeah, I don't remember the math behind it, but these are the models they use.

So I guess, in the Flat-earth model, the sun literally is behind the moon during an eclipse?

Heh, like I said, it's been a while. Like 2 years or so...

I would wager that about 99% of the people who advocate a Flat Earth Model do so purely for the intellectual "fun" of poking holes in people's own logic. It's not about proving the earth is flat but getting people to acknowledge that most of the reasons they believe in whatever model they believe in is just as equally based on "because that's what I was taught" arguments.

I know quite a few engineers who'll take up the flat earth argument just for the sake of the puzzle of it. Can you come up with "sound" explanations for everything we see that would fit in a flat earth model? Can you come up with a model that is complete enough that only first hand observation can disprove it? That's really the objective for those guys IMO. Because then they can point to the vast majority of people who don't have that first hand observation and say "Ok. How do you really know for sure your model is true and you aren't just being lied to?".


It's a pure intellectual exercise. At least for most people...

Two words: Poe's Law.

We'd still have to eat them...unless PETA is pushing for Soylent Green...which wouldn't surprise me, haha.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This is exactly the problem in western society and the reason why children in other cultures are unabashedly breastfed until 2 or 3, even four years old, while in the U.S., anything longer than a year (hell, even 6 months) is considered "extended" breastfeeding and gets women dirty looks and shocked reactions when others learn about it.

Not long ago, there was one woman who posted a bunch of "PSA"-type video blogs about how breastfeeding is sexual abuse.



Check out Craigslist sometimes, there are ads from men offering to pay women for their expressed breastmilk to be used for fetish purposes.
