The Family Circus is funnier

It is better than it use to be. However, why someone has to go out of their way to insult another person, because of their beliefs, I will never understand. And then why anyone would think it is funny, just shows what society has degraded to.

I think this "just shows what society has degraded to", being offended by a damn cheeseburger on a ****ing bike seat. maybe we should all go cry about it and let our feelings be hurt. BTW, has anyone here ever listened to Neal Bortz?

And yes, I am a vegetarian..........

if someone sat on it and got mess all in their crack i'd laugh. nothing yet though.

I think the point was that if people found this funny then society must be dumbing down (see the movie Idiocracy) not that we can't hurt each others feelings. Which I agree with. It just wasn't funny. Not because I found it offensive, but because it just plain out wasn't funny.

BTW, I listen to Neal Boortz every now and then. I find it a 50/50 relationship. 50% of the time I want to punch him in the face and 50% of the time I find myself basically agreeing.
Why do you ask?

You missed my point. The OP did it to be insulting, and that was my point and it wasn't funny.

That is definitely insulting to many people.

That picture is a portrait in responsibility.

Perhaps the OP isn't posting it to offend anothers' lifestyle choice, but rather to express his own?

A cow died and it's hide was used to make that saddle, the meat went into the burger, the milk into the cheddar cheesey goodness. The rider is gaining nutrition from the burger, whilst making use of the leather saddle.

Sustainable resources.

I guess that could be true.

v-rock, I asked because my thread just reminded me of the way Neal says "feeeeeeelings" when he is talking about something like this. Yes, I see where people could be coming from about it just not being funny.

I was thinking the other day, shouldnt vegans like leather? You know, im sure they dont kill a cow just for the leather. It is probably just a by-porduct of the beef industry. So shouldnt vegans be pro-leather since it gives alot more use to the cow who has allready sacrificed his life for McDonalds? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

9Rings

Yes, and after that original cartoon came out, how was it responded to?

"We will kill the infidels!"

kemmer

Pffffft. Eat bacon double cheeseburgers all you want (I do) but don't pretent they're sustainable...

lvleph

I think that most Vegans feel that it is supporting the Beef industry. I look at from an environmental perspective. If it is better for the environment, then it is probably okay.

lvleph

Which is ironic, but not everyone responded that way.

MyBikeGotStolen

Even if he did do t to be insulting, what is the point of getting offended about it? That was my point.

lvleph

I was commenting on how I don't understand why people cannot be cordial to each other. I thought it was stupid, but whatever.

Some of you pansies are always looking for a reason to be insulted.

Only to the uneducated. The meat industry is actually quite harmful to the environment.

Spare me.

I've been there. I was a veggie for 7 years.

Let me tell you, I felt a whole lot better after I started eating meat again, like a fog was lifted from my brain, seriously.

Now I only abstain from meat on Wednesdays and Fridays and during fasting periods.

Doesn't change the fact that the meat industry is not sustainable.

bonechilling

Practically no part of modern agriculture is sustainable without huge costs to the environment.

9Rings

Listen, if by not eating meat you think you're going to change the world, more power to you.

If you don't eat meat as a matter of moral choice, I think that is commendable. Truly. Like I said I've been there.


If you think that other should also refrain from eating meat because of what you have decided upon as a "morally correct" choice, that's another matter.


How do you define "sustainable"? Cow's are a renewable resource. It's not like strip mining coal or fossil fuels where once it's gone, it's gone.

I do think that alot could be done to make the meat industry more humane.

Mr. Samsa
