I have no clue if it's true, partial true or completely false.. but I still found it funny as I still think that PETA = people eating tasty animals. Meat is murder.. Tasty, delicious murder. You know all the sayings though.

The sad thing is, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Nothing really does anymore. I think the internet is pretty great, then again, it's also desensitized us greatly. And with that comes bigger, more outrageous 'wants'. Don't believe me, check out reality TV, UFC, etc ...

I don't understand your point about reality TV, UFC, etc. Can you tell me what you meant, because I wasn't able to understand it?

It's too deep for you, it's okay. 😛 (kidding) Nah, I'm just saying we're not satisfied with what we have. It always has to be more risky, more life threatening, etc ... for us to be entertained. It makes me wonder if that's how the Gladiator/Roman games evolved. Were they just fist fights, then a stick was allowed, then a knife, then tigers, etc ... where it escalated to fight to the death?

Does that make more sense? Ever see the movie Running Man? I haven't, but I seen a few previews of it. I think the jist of it was people kept spiking the ratings higher with the more risk of someone losing their life and that's how they ended up with that specific reality TV show.

I'm not saying this is entirely new, I think we're just getting closer to the peak ... as I guess has happened many hundred (maybe thousands) of years before.

Oh yeah now I get what you meant... your previous post was utterly confusing to me.

I've seen Running Man, although I've always considered it just another brainless Arnold movie. But it's that true people are attracted to violence and with people getting more and more okay with whatever's the 'edgy' stuff now, they have to go 'edgier'.

I just hope the UFC is the limit to where 1-on-1 combat sports go (I'm a huge MMA fan BTW), because if people start broadcasting 1-on-1 knife fights as a sport then we are fucked.

Is it bad that I understood your first post and then was completely baffled by your explanation of it?

---

No worries bud. James Jones catches the extremely difficult passes, but drops the easy ones. It's kind of like that. 🙂

I don't doubt that it's true. My personal expierience with admitted "Peta" people has been one of hypocrites.
I gave the example awhile ago about my one friend's girlfriend who blasted us every time we went hunting or ate meat. She "NEVER" ate meat......until the one time when we were at a barbeque place.....i looked over, and there she was chowing down on a barbeque beef sandwich. I asked her "hey Annie.....I thought you didn't believe in eatting ANY meat"? Her reply?....."Yeah.....but i REALLY LIKE THIS!!!" Oh....and she also owned a cat. Another Peta "no no".
Then i have seen reports of animal rights people breaking into a mink farm, and busting up the cages, letting the minks go free.
Of course these animals were raised in captivity, and had NO idea how to hunt for their own food. Those that were not recaptured died a long slow death from starvation. But i bet those that set them "free" patted each other on the back for the wonderful thing they did, singing "Born Free" all the way home.

Of course they didn't have to see the REAL results of their actions.

I do NOT believe in abusing animals, and think those that do abuse them should be punished as severely as possible. That said, God allows us to use animals for food. So that's good enough for me. And i have hunted, and killed animals myself for food. So i have done the "dirty work" as well.
I also own a dog, and love him and he is treated as one of the family. My own sister once said "If I'm ever reincarnated, I want to come back as one of your dogs. They are treated better then some people are".
