The guy that wrote that article truly is an arrogant prick. He made that article to try to clear his concience, to try to make it okay for himself to eat meat. As PETA have stated, there are millions more times of animals killed every day than to worry about the few killed by harvesters. Also, his SOURCE page doesn't work, so I can't check it's validality.

Finally someone who sees in the way that I do. This is what I've been trying to get at, I'm just not so good at wording it. You've actually made a very good point about the 'harming plants' and the nervous systems of animals. And also about the cow eating grass bit.

CHERUB: Mad Dogs - Robert Muchamore.It's a really awesome series that I would highly reccomend. I know a few people on here who've read them. Also the author is really cool.

This is a pretty funny joke, even though I'm english.If people still don't get it after reading the other spoilers, then read this:

Damn, he beat me too it.

Watch what you eat. Don't eat too many fatty foods, but don't feel like you're letting yourself down if you treat yourself once in a while, just not too regularly.This part is important, DON'T SKIP MEALS!! If you do that you'll just end up feeling hungry later and will find yourself snacking on junk, which is not good.Do a bit of light excersize maybe 3 times a week. Just a walk around for 20 minutes, or longer if you feel like it. Maybe a jog if you want.Hope you find all of this information usefull.Liam

Hey Lachlan! Welcome to the Xisto forums.I hope that you stay here and post because you seem like a really nice guy. Plus, you're australian and I have mates in australia (who are absolutely AWESOME), so that's a bonus.If I do decide I like you, (you'll have to post more) then I'll add you on msn and we can chat a bit on there. I've been to australia, and I've got to say, your country muchly rawks, it's a LOAD better than england. I hope you find Xisto better than your previous hosts. I've not had any problems with them.I hope you have a good time if you go to france.

I don't think that plants think, therefore I think that we can eat them. All animals think, and therefore we shouldn't eat them. I haven't actually met any people who think they are so superior, that they go around boasting about it. Those people are just arrogent pricks and just ignore them. I still haven't seen any solid evidence about the KFC animal cruelty thing, so I can't make a judgement. Infact, your 'evidence' is absolute rubbish. You say, 'Animal rights SHOULD have killed them.' This shows that they should have, not that they have. Yes, I agree that they should have. Also, you ask why the pieces of chicken are so small. This is because of the simple fact that KFC and other big fast-food companies want to maximise their earnings by getting as much money for as little 'produce' as possible. Fact: The 'small' fizzy drinks cups in today's McDonalds are the same size as the 'Large' cups a few years ago. This just shows how fat we're becoming, but that's a whole different issue. OH MY GOODNESS!! That video about foie-gras is so disturbing. This is the kind of cruelty I'm talking about. It's just sick how people do this kind of thing. I'm going to show this video to everybody I know just to show them how disgusting and mean some people are just to gain money. As I have already stated, if it was the only way to survive, then yes, I would eat meat. But it's not and it is impossible (yes, you've mentioned that. ) End of post. xD EDIT: More on KFC here: http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/

Happy diwali to everybody!

I prefer firefox to IE. They're the two browsers that I've tried really.Firefox is faster and the addons that you can get are really really awesome!I still can't convince my family to stop using internet explorer though.

I agree that if I was trapped, and there was only meat available, then I would eat that. But in todays average society; then it is not neccisary to eat meat. I hope it will change some day and people will see it wrong to eat animals as they do now see about eating people. Just out of intrest, do people still eat other people in new zealand? It is also a big problem about people killing people, but thousands more animals are being killed more cruelly than the people being killed today.

Can you link me to an article which shows that plants have independant feelings and don't want to be eaten. I don't believe that vegetarians are 'superior', infact I don't think any less of someone who eats meat because of that alone. I believe also that everybody is free to eat what they like, but I'm trying to make people better informed about what they actually are eating and make their own judgement weather it is right. You say 'it's all about surviving', does this mean that you think that humans cannot survive without eating meat. I disagree with that statement, I am living proof; I have never eaten meat and I'm still here, in perfect health, not a problem with me. Also my parents are the same way. How do you know that the KFC thing is a hoax? Again a link to an article please. Can you please explain what 'foie-gras' is as I have never even heard of it. Also, you say 'I kill meat, it's in my DNA.' I do not agree that if something is in your DNA (which I'm not even sure if eating meat is), that you have to agree with it or go along with it. Look at all the people who dye their hair a different color. That is proof. I also enjoy debating about these things, so please reply!

I do not agree. Sometimes video games can help me unwind.When I've had a really crappy day or I'm mad at someone, theres nothing more relaxing for me to go on True Crime: New York City and shoot some people in the head with a sniper. It also helps to relax with my mates and makes friends.But sometimes, people become obsessed and that is really not good for you. I think that video games, in moderation, are very good for today's society.

That was obviously a joke. Let's reply seriously nontheless. As I said before, I don't agree that plants have feelings. I also don't believe that they are treated worse than animals. Most people do not know all of the things that their food has been through to reach their bellies hot and steaming. Chickens are forced to live in the most cramped conditions, live in their own *BLEEP* and eat practically nothing. As soon as they are born their beaks are cut off, without any kind of anesthetic, to stop them pecking each other. Imaging having your nose cut off. This is not fair. Then they are forcefully grown. Some chicken's bodies grow so big that their legs cannot support their weight and just break under the pressure. Then they are forced onto a conveyor belt, where a rotating blade is SUPPOSED to cut their throught. Unfortunatley, it misses every seventh or eighth bird. You may think avoiding having your throught slit is a lucky break, but instead they are then dunked alive in boiling hot water (to remove the feathers). This is really not fair. I think I'm talking about KFC here, but I can't remember.

You don't like vegetables? Does that mean that you don't eat them. Dude, I seriously reccomend you go and see a doctor or something and learn about the importance of a healthy diet. You're missing out on vital food groups and it's probably effecting your health. Yes, vegetables are living things, but I do not see them as indivuals. If an organism (yes organism, you dirty minded freaks xD) has a brain, then I don't think it's alright to eat it. Extensive scientific studies have proven without a doubt that plants do not have brains, and therefore, they do not have feelings. That way I find it morally acceptable to eat them.

If we did not farm the animals, then we would not have to eat them. Therefore, we would not be a part of any foodchain.I am saying that human beings should not eat meat, and grow our own food in farms.You can still eat quorn etc.

This idiot obviously didn't deserve to be a father. He didn't even deserve to own the pickup.It makes me sick that people like this live and spawn children.Eeeeugh.

The link doesn't appear to be working mate...

This is a pretty neat invention mate. I'm sure if you mass produced these then you'd probably get a pretty good market. Most of the big companies in the world could use a few thousand of these babies.It's not a good idea to tell everybody on the internet then. Idea would be stolen (if it doesn't already exist)

No I don't.I don't really see the point. It's not as if the screen is big and it wouldn't be that easy to watch.I'd much prefer to watch a DVD on a portable DVD player on a long journey than TV on my phone.

We are not a vital part of the foodchain.We are in a completely different foodchain to any other animal, because we farm our own animals. If we stopped eating meat then it would not make a single change to a foodchain. This is because we supply our own animals, we don't hunt them. Therefore, there would not be any more cows or anything because they are SPECIFICALLY grown just to feed humans.That is all.

Yes it was very predictable.It wasnt a very good ending to the series and I kinda hated it.

Woah, she truly is an insipration.I wish I could create a site like this. Infact, that's what I'm going to do *thinks of an idea*

Actually, if everyone was a vegetarian, then we'd have more resources. It takes less space to grow vegetarian food for twenty days than to grow animals to last for twenty days. (twenty is a number picked randomly, basically it takes less space to grow veggetarian food).Also, we can run cars on vegiatable fat. In that way, we would save time and money in not having to kill animals, and spend scientific brainpower on figuring out how to make meat = energy.

I'm running a very similar system to you and having a similar problem.*watches thread*
