Animals

Oh, I love this post. I went on the PETA forums and posted a critique of PETA's sexism, racism, and transphobia, except for a reply from the forum Admin, almost all I got was a bunch of suspicious and rude replies back and suggesting that there's no way a transsexual person would willingly contribute to their own marginilization or that Fur is a Drag has nothing to do with the marginilization of transgendered folks. If people realized they were oppressing others OR themselves, so many of the good people I know would never eat meat in the first place.

And all you have to do is go to PETA's homepage to see what they do with women. Last I checked, there was a fully nude photo of some tan woman named Danity Kane. Still no woman with truly dark skin - just that tan color that so many white women in the US wish they had. Not that I want to see ANY nude women on PETA's website, but PETA just promotes all the -ism's at once. Sexism is just the most blatant.

PETA uses naked women to sell their point. Cropdusters.biz does the same thing and the writer has the gull to criticize the latter and defend the former?  HA! only in the mind of a Liberal.

Either both are exploiting women or neither one is doing so. You can't defend one and attack the other. They are both using boobs, half naked women, and the body of women to sell their points, ideology, etc, etc. 
Incredible! Liberals will always defend the exploitation of women if this is being used to push one of their pet beliefs. Yet they will attack the same behavior from a company that they disagree with.

I hate to say it....well not really....Typical Liberal hypocrisy.

CJ, the word is "gall," not "gull."

Second, women volunteering for PETA use their sex appeal to raise awareness of the need for veg*anism and of the need to respect animals. These Cropdusting women use their sex appeal to help killers (because chemicals do kill) make money.

CJ, I consider myself to be very liberal, and yet I do not agree with or condone either of these groups. Please don't stereotype. It's going to make me think that all conservatives are ignorant.

Amen, Lisa.

CJ, you're correct.  Typical liberal hogwash.  Take the recent events in California for example.  All you hear from liberals is "power to the people".  Until, of course, the people say or vote something the liberals don't like.  Then the "people" don't have the right to control that.  If an attractive woman bares her body for an "intellectual" liberal cause, then she is enlightened and beyond reproach.  If ANY woman bares her body for ANY cause (even if that cause is because she WISHES to be objectified) that the liberals don't agree with then it is the fault of a conservative white male.  Tracy, you are correct, many chemicals used in MANY industries are bad for the environment and its inhabitants.  For example, check the label on that couch you're sitting on and see if it contains any synthetic fibers.  (polyester, rayon, dacron, etc)  All of those are petroleum derivatives.  Believe it or not, big industry spends billions of dollars on R&D to engineer new chemicals and new products that are environmentally friendly.  There are many new insecticides on the market today that are completely biodegradeable.  I personally have no desire to harm a single animal, person, or ecosystem.  However, have you considered that farm production would decrease by 40-50% if we stopped using insecticides?  Have you considered that your vegan diet would go up in cost 300 - 400% if that happened?  Are you willing to start paying $12 for lettuce?  $30 for a plain cotton t-shirt?  Think I'm being silly?  Asian countries are already paying those prices because of the lack of farm production in that region.  I know what you're thinking.... "I already buy organic vegetables, and they're not THAT expensive."  Have you ever considered what would happen to the price of those organic vegetables if world supply was cut by 50-75% and the people who don't normally purchase organic foods were suddenly forced to because that was all that was available?You have valid arguments, I'll give you that.  Like most liberals though, you automatically assume that because you believe in something it automatically makes you right.  You see yourself as somehow enlightened and above reprise.  Most of you also believe that because YOU are the ones who care then you don't have to abide by your own rules.... When you live in an organic hemp thatch hut, full of organic hemp thatch furniture, wearing organic hemp clothing, use no other wood than rapidly renewable bamboo, eat only vegetables that you grow organically, own NOTHING derived from petroleum (plastic, rubber, plexiglass, nylon, rayon, dacron, polyester, most carpeting, etc.), feed your pets NOTHING that contains animal byproducts (good luck with that since cats and dogs are carnivores), walk to work on hemp and bamboo sandals (ALL cars are made with petroleum products in factories POWERED by petroleum or coal, even your Prius).....  THEN, AND ONLY THEN will you have the right to cast the first stone......  Yes, I know that was a ridiculous run on sentence.  I know some correcty correctorsons would come out of the wood work and bash my grammar since they can't break what I actually said.
