    While I don't like PETA either, Cass, you should be aware that the site you linked is run by a front-group for the restaurant industry called the Center For Consumer Freedom.

    Huh. I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

    Point is, when I saw Jake Shield's face on one of those PETA posters

    Our imaginary love could no longer be

    Since I haven't been able to find a new imaginary boyfriend we are imaginary friends-with-benefits, but I kick him out of bed and never make him breakfast. It's very cold.

    I'm... a bit of an imaginary whore. :(

    what's wrong with PETA?

    Their in-your-face approach is counterproductive. As a vegetarian, I cringe whenever I see them not helping

    This isn't really true though.

    They as a group have done more for animal rights then the entire collective of apathetic vegitariens who keep it to themselves ever have.

    I just dumped all of my Wheel of Time books in a bag. TOR had such shitty binding that I had had to buy a couple of books over again, so there's like $250 of books in there. But... they're going to a good home, and I can't haul them around a bunch, and honestly they were too big a part of my teenagerhood to be able to read them for fun now.

    In Canada, PETA ran a billboard ad campaign morally equating the women murdered by Robert Pickton on his pig farm with pigs killed for food.

    PETA does not believe in animal testing, even when it benefits human lives.

    PETA does not believe in pets, they believe it is equivalent to slavery.

    PETA uses sexism and sexist imagery to promote animal rights.

    http://petakillsanimals.com/

    Alright, that all sounds pretty bad, but that bolded line seems like a stance most of this forum would take. I wouldn't, but I don't particularly dig animals. But a lot of the folk here seem to.

    I think even if you don't believe in animal testing, you would probably turn your stomach when you see the people yelling about how animal testing is murder turn around and kill 94% of its adoptable animals in one year.

    Sure, though their hypocrisy is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not animal testing is bad. I'm just surprised to see it on a list of why PETA is bad composed here of all places.

    You know what I really hate?

    When someone says "You know what I'm saying?" or "You know what I mean" as filler.

    Cause often they'll be talking about something personal that I don't know what they mean, or just complete gibberish and no, I will not know what they are saying.

    That's a good idea. But hopefully I'll train at my new job tomorrow and I'll start having some extra spending cash, and then pick up another night or two at another bar.

    And hopefully both of those will be off the books so I can still get unemployment!

    Also, I'm making chicken thighs for dinner that I'm marinating in soy, squeezed orange juice, garlic, sugar, and sliced jalapenos. What should I make with it? I'm thinking roasted asparagus with a poached egg. Maybe a potato too?

    Welp, looks like I'll switch from discrete logic to delta-time logic for movement already.

    With 16-pixel tiles, 1 pixel per update is too slow. 2 pixels per update is obviously twice as fast... and too fast.

    So yeah, delta-time checks so I can set speed per second instead of speed per update.

    Animal testing is the source of medical science. We would know almost literally nothing that we do today if it weren't for extensive animal testing.

    I don't think anyone who knows anything about how science works would support an end to animal testing.

    PETA is such a terrible organization. There are so many worthwhile animal causes. Everything from Humane Society to Doris Day to wild mustang rescue to feral cat spay/neuter folks.

    PETA is just awful. It's incredibly unfortunate that their notoriety consumes 99% of the attention paid to the subject.

    I bet eco-terrorists get made fun of at terrorism parties.

    Anyway, I don't support the commercial pet industry or the meat industry, but I still think PETA's a bunch of shit-heads that alienates more people than it converts.

    I also don't have well-informed feelings about animal testing, but I do think think that animal rights should at least be a consideration when it comes to animal testing. I'd have to look at existing regulations to know whether or not that consideration has been granted, though.

    We'd probably test stuff on people if we didn't have animals.

    Nazis wouldn't do to Jews what we do to animals in labs.

    Additionally, there's an enormous portion of science that relies upon the fact that we can use animals that have different, rather than similar morphology to ourselves. The size, easiness to keep, and life span of mice is crucial to the pace of our advancements.

    I seriously could not possibly imagine a world in which we could have any of the advancements we've made in biological and medical science without animal testing. It is inconceivable to me.
