And a hollowed-out cow would make a handy canoe.

Yes but imagine my moral dilemma. The very reason I could return to civilization and vegetarianism would be the death of a cow. Actually, not such a big moral dilemma after all. Yeah, the cow still gets it.

I used to know some one who COULDN'T drink. Alcohol did horrible things to her system. People treated her as if she was from another planet when she said she didn't drink. Either that or they assumed that she was a reformed alcoholic on the wagon.

A few points.

A) I'm assuming your friend is British or Australian. They're the only countries i'm aware of where one's ability to consume vast amounts of alcohol and then being sick is akin to winning the Nobel prize for literature.

B) On a more cynical note...at least there's always some handy to drive to pubs, clubs and parties.

Why pick on those two countries? You get just as many strange looks here in the US I think. Okay, maybe not just as many, but pretty damned close. Try it in Japan, too, I'd say. Or Russia. (Japan I know somewhat firsthand, Russia I don't, just assuming there.)

sure eggs can be fertalized but they aren't always. growing up we kept a few hens--only hens--and always had plenty of eggs. I'll I"m saying is no rooster means no baby. might as well have an omlette.

A laudable use of an otherwise wasted resource then.

The only time I visited Russia they seemed very fond of their vodka.
And you got very strange looks if you refused to drink some - even though you had the seemingly very reasonable excuse that as it was homemade it tasted like paintstripper (& had a similar effect if spilt on the table).

Backing up a bit here. ...and of course there is a fine word that can be used as an opposite for vegetarianism - cannabilism

As a vegetarian I would just like to say that I do not think meat eaters should be called cannibals. What was wrong with carnivore?

So we're all agreed - come armageddon we omnivores will be laughing up our sleeves at the ex-vegatarians?

;^)#

Carnivores eat meat almost exclusively - like dogs & cats. While the term might apply to some humans, I think the correct term is omnivore.

;^)#

I stand corrected!

Please feel free to resume your seat & eat.

It was a leather seat ...some vegan's eating it

Er, I don't know if it's just me or the powers that be causing hassle again but there is no way you could say this forum was running in conversation order.

And just so you know, tofu is probably the most awful crud I've ever tasted.

I think they've secretly changed things so when you reply it posts your input to the entry you hit reply to. It used to add it to the end of that particular thread but now it doesn't. It's a real pain on threads like this trying to find that elusive entry that happened only 4 minutes ago!

I agree with the item below mine.

A while back it seemed to be doing both. Maybe colour-coding for age of entries could be introduced now that the PTB have minions to do their editing for them.

Yes or no, maybe, perhaps, but then again.....
