Don't think that they don't have feelings just 'cause a radish can't scream!

So using their dismembered sex organs to decorate our homes and lapels is out?

... you see, when a small site gets hotlinked on a site with a lot of traffic...it doesn't expect it and gets mushroom stamped in the face and goes down for a short period of time :)

You ever feel guilty that you haven't watered your plants ? Why ? There's a reason for your guilt, in that, plants are living things, under your care. A responsibility if you will, towards a living thing. The ethics follow from this simple principle.

You completely missed the point of my post. you may be a TFer, but you are in fact a NEWFAG.

Ya see... when I said "teach the controversy", that's means make discussion about something everyone knows to false, aka Jesus riding dinosaurs, etc...

I apologized to my houseplant.

It said, "That's okay. No chard feelings."

This blossomed recently buts its roots go much farther back... they couldn't turn over a new leaf so they barked this out after lengthy aeration... i'm sure it'll come up again next spring...

 
Invincible 2008-10-19 09:47:53 PM  
Okay, now that it's finally loaded and I've RTFA, I'm a little concerned about the ban on "forced sterility and terminator genes" on GMOs. Isn't this what could potentially save us from some bio-engineering cock-up? Isn't this like freeing those rage-infected monkeys?

 
OscarTamerz 2008-10-19 09:48:40 PM  
The treatise established that vegetation has innate value and that it is morally wrong to partake in activities such as the "decapitation of wildflowers at the roadside without rational reason."

Those aren't their heads liberturd morons, that's their genitalia. Every time you pick a flower, you're castrating a plant. And I strongly suspect that these hippies were probably burning some of the castrated genitalia in their bongs while they were writing this crap.

Seriously, when the planet is covered in inedible mutant kudzu we can blame the Swiss.

I am vegetarian and can't tell you how many times people have asked me, "But can't you hear a carrot scream when you pull it from the ground?"

/Totally.

 
MadCat221 2008-10-19 09:52:05 PM  
What the fark, Switzerland? I'd expect something like this from Nanny State Britain, not the country where every family owns a military-grade automatic rifle.

Does putting googly eyes on them count as humiliation? It's the only way that you can really get to know them.

I have trouble believing the Swiss public will obey this law.

Um, I'm thinking that if a little research was done into the genesis of this law, you'd find that your concerns are exactly what the framers of this little movement are trying to accomplish.

I think a "lowly tortilla chip" loses its dignity when it sells itself out as a Dorito.

I'm not a vegetarian because I like animals.

I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.

God I hate those self righteous bastards...

Nothing new here...

In Indian philosophy and religions this idea has been around for thousands of years. It's called Ahimsa.

This is just a modern re-hashing of it.

If they didn't wanna get pee'd on, why don't they just move out the way?

I'd like biotechnology to get to the point where I could have a giant photosynthetic patch on my back, or something. Think of the smugness possibilities.
