"If we show enough boobs, they'll stop eating meat for sure!"

Wait, they have a bunch of girls performing various sexy activities with vegetables and you actually got some message out of this commercial that upsets you???
Really?

It makes me more ashamed of people (not because they do this, but because it works) then it upsets me, actually.

But yeah, it always bothered me when people have an interesting opinion, and attempt to convince other people of it with boobs.

If I want to watch boobs, I'll watch a porno.

Don't over estimate the impact of boobs on people'S opinions. I am a boob and I convince no one!

To be fair, you have a beard. Hairy boobs are not sexy at all.

Never trust a guy with a toe fetish.

When I conquer Quebec, I will pass laws requiring everyone to wear toe-shoes... even if you don't have feet!!!

She is a chain smoking, boozehound, fat and voracious woman. She is that woman you will sleep with when you will be too drunk to know right from wrong after drinking our beer and smoking our weed.


I don't think you realize that your weed is weak sauce. Aren't all your women fat? Isn't that how they insulate themselves from the cold?

Nah, you are confusing the US and Québec. You just need warm clothes. They are very sexy. You should read what the foreign students write about them in the bathroom stall of our Universities. They compare them to the 7 Wonders of the World!


Hey, tell those kids it's not funny to compare fat chicks to pyramids.

If they treated cattle like women it would be funnier.

Yeah, some eco-militants believe the best solution for the planet is to not have humans on it. Not the bet way to get sympathie from the pubic, to say the least.



Well, they are kinda right.  We are terrible for planets.

Yup.  Indigenous people had the way of things down.  Too bad we killed 'em off and corrupted most of what's left.  There is a way to do it but nobody alive today would ever consider it.  Most wouldn't survive if they had to live that way, either.  You have to wonder at what sort of luxurious lives we live that eating meat is even a question.

@Goldo: I was actually reading a study that was looking at Viagra's effect on safe-sex practices1 and one of the interesting findings was that because of the alcohol-impotence connection you mentioned some men were less likely to wrap it before sex since with the reduced feeling it made it even harder to hold the erection.  With Viagra tossed into the mix, however, the men could still perform with protection, so in some cases Viagra actually got people to practice safe-sex.

Of course, then the guys figured out they could get really drunk and still get hard enough for a condom, which lead to them getting even drunker and not having the judgement to use a condom.

So it's a mixed bag.  For some men having Viagra available made safe-sex more likely, for some it just encouraged even more irresponsible behavior.  I can't remember which group was larger.

Still, the more you know.

1It was specifically looking at safe-sex practices among gay men in large cities, but some of the conclusions might generalize.

The whole "natives live in harmony with nature" line is a load. They can, and have, been just as destructive to their environment. The only differenence between them and the modern era is scale. Industrialization has allowed humans to things up on a global scale instead of ing thigns up on a local scale as did our ancestors and "indigenous peoples".

Meh, blame the era then.  There was a way of life that worked that we have moved far, far away from.  That's pretty much it, I guess.

Yep.  And somehow they managed not to ever be in danger of running out of buffalo to stampede until some strange looking folk from across the sea decided that they wanted to eat Buffalo meat and wear Buffalo fur, too.  Even then they weren't in real danger of running out until these same strangers decided to mount a campaign to eradicate the Buffalo from the land in order to prevent these people from eating and wearing them.

Eh.  Even the Native Americans were destructive to the planet, just not to the same degree that Europeans were.  The real culprit is numbers, and once you start with agriculture/horticulture you're putting into place a system that not only allows greater numbers but demands greater numbers.

So if you're looking for something to blame, go with that.  Before agriculture/horticulture you had gatherer/hunter tribes that really couldn't grow very fast at all and were much closer to a neutral-impact on their environment.  But for that sort of society to work you need a friggin' huge amount of land for each person.

Again, it was only a question of scale. Do you really think industrialized western people are the only ones ever to extinct a species? If the mystical "indigenous people" had a larger population to feed and clothe, and more effective means of hunting, they'd have wiped out the buffalo just as easily as they did the mammoth.

Right, scale.  I was in that case responding to a specific post.  The harm in that case was not done by the activity that was highlighted.  That was my only point.  I'll give ya scale.  No doubt about it.

Except maybe in Africa, where nature grew alongside man, meaning it has learn how to exploit him. Hence the harshness of many African environments.
Hmm, maybe it's more "nature lives in harmony with the natives".

You could blame technology for your blunders with nature. Knowledge has permitted your species to flourish as it adapted, thus furthering its influence for exploitation of the world abroad. I however will not let this stop my goals for a technological domination of this planet. The ends will justify the means.

I hate people some time, so self focused. Just because something hates you, wants to destroy you and everything like you: that doesn't make it evil. It probably makes you adversaries, but you don't get automatic moral high ground just because you want it.

There's a couple man-made deserts in Africa that suggest otherwise.

Agreed.  Total copout, lazy writing and just very, very sad in comparison to all that came before.  They kept talking about how they wanted to end it on their terms so that they could do a great job of it but instead blew the opportunity.  They seemed lost in their own plot complexities and unable to find a decent way to tie things up.  So what we got was what we got - garbage.

But... I'm a super hero!  And so anyone that opposes me if a villain!  And villains are evil!

... or at least, that would be my logic if I were a super hero.
