John

so it's the fodder which feeds the domesticated ungulates around the world, that in turn constantly fart out methane into the atmosphere that could be a major contributor to ozone depletion along with burning fossil fuels?

If you now go on to mention Al Gore, I'll know you're not serious, and laugh at everything you say from now on.

I'll add that I recycle, only switch lights on when needed, energy saving light bulbs and other devices, 'green' shower heads, etc, etc. Not because I 'believe' but because of waste reduction, $$$ savings, etc.

And the irrefutable proof of this is, where exactly??

How much land do you think it would take to grow all this stuff, to feed the world??



Here we go again...



Benz, I'd like to ask you a serious question - What are your thoughts on other Carnivores and Omnivores (or predators if you prefer)??

Should we try to convert the Crocodiles, Tigers, Lions, etc, etc. to become Vegans/Vegetarians as well??

Good luck with that.

Rock Stars often have a fake persona they use to sell records.

I heard that Alice Cooper plays golf at a Country Club in his spare time.

So if you sterilize 98%of a population of don't allow them to reproduce it's not genocide?
So according to your vegan principles it is ok to reduce the populations of livestock by 99% as long as we do it over a few years by natural age related death. And its not genocide. ROFL

Yes he does. I read an interview where he explained that for him, the only way to kick his addiction to booze / drugs (I forget which) was to replace it with another addiction. He chose golf.

Dave, I was working one memorable day at the gunnery school in Dorset. Watching the student APC crews ranging with 7.62 GPMG, then letting loose with the 30mm(?) was awe inspiring. Bearing in mind the standard tracer ratio in the Brit army is 1:4 (iirc) & the tracer was hitting the target fast enough that I couldn't see how there could be bullets in between. Ricochets going all over the place! (HARD targets, I assume for longevity) Then the 30mm ricochets some 300+m (before the glow faded enough to lose sight of it).

I don't want to be on the receiving end of ANY modern fire, suppressing or otherwise!

hmmm....

wait till you see 40mm magazine fed rapid....

but nothing beats good old fashioned .50cal Browning M2 4B1T for heart cockle warming belt fed happyness.

well maybe the crack of the 84 homping HEDP or HEAT down range....


one day I shall regail (probably again) the story of the young trooper that after firing off 84 HEDP was asked the question "do you want the roo you minced OR the one you BBQ'd. by the safety instructor just before the #2 threw up.

haha I don't claim to be a messiah.
I know full well the world won't change their diet...

didn't mention global warming at all...
you have admit though. if are going to keep growing in population like the way we are now, we have to start changing something simply to feed ourselves. not to mention feed our addiction of possessions.

We could keep tearing down rain-forests and over fishing the seas if you like?
is this your idea of a solution?

no getting wild Carnivores to cut meat from their diet is a stupid idea... how in anyway is that a serious question?

but then again i think converting Crocodiles, Tigers, Lions, etc, etc. to become Vegans/Vegetarians might be easier the getting you to...
