I think being a vegetarian rots your brain. Here's proof.

:mad: PRINEVILLE, Ore. -- Oregon State Police arrested a man Friday for serial-type killing of wildlife, officers said.

Ronald A. Livermore, 60, of Prineville, was caught with a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle with a homemade silencer "spotlighting" in the area where more than a dozen deer have been found dead over the last several years.

Investigators said they believe Livermore, who said he is primarily a vegetarian, would drive around in the dark shining his spotlight until he saw the glimpse of eyes. At that point, he would shoot at the deer and continue on, looking for more.

The deer that had been killed had been left to waste beside forest service roads and many were pregnant or had recently given birth, police said.

Police said they found a special compartment in the trunk of Livermore's car used to conceal his custom-modified weapon.

A forensic examination by the OSP proved that Livermore's weapon was used in some of the killings, police said.

What does his being "primarily a vegetarian" have anything to do with his stupidity and blood lust?
 
speaking of PETA have you herd they have offered money to the first company that can commertially sell test tube meat?
 
Interesting, yet...somewhat stupid story lol, but....not really a good basis as a reason to eat meat.
I mean...meat is just good.
Isn't that reason enough?
Not to mention the whole animal population spill, etc.
Hahahaha. Crazy old man.
 
Yeah, I don't see a connection between him being a vegetarian and him being crazy. There are many counter examples as well, vegetarians who are just fine.

nope. Ask PETA. Meat eaters are barbaric murders who love to torture animals. Well, vegetarians are bat shit crazy. Here is the proof.
 
no, PETA are a bunch of arrogant hypocritical dicks.

"1 crazy person happens to be vegetarian, therefore all vegetarians are crazy" i disagree. would you say that i am crazy?

EDIT: those who are truly insane are people like you who will happily eat meat as long as it come pre-packaged from a supermarket but refuse to kill animals.

PETA offers bounty for test tube meat breakthrough

For a long time now the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has wanted people to give up meat out of concern over animal cruelty.

Now it is heading in a completely different direction in its campaign.

The group's president Ingrid Newkirk accepts people are still fond of their meat, with one million chickens being consumed in the United States each hour.

She says the organisation has decided to change its tack.

"We think the time is right to try to move forward the development of in vitro, or lab-grown meat," she told AM.

"This is something that has been going on very quietly in the scientific community for about a decade, starting in Holland, and there are now scientists all over the world who are trying to create a fish or chicken or beef substitute that is actually meat.

"It is made from animal cells so it is not a fake meat, it is a real meat but it is something that you grow in the laboratory."

The organisation is offering $1 million to the first person to produce commercially viable in vitro meat by 2012.

Ms Newkirk says lab-grown meat would also have environmental benefits and would use up fewer resources.

So is it possible to produce commercially viable test tube meat?

Poul Nielson, from the Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland, says it could be possible but would be "several decades off".

"At the moment there is an awful lot of research and development that has to be done in this area," he said.

And Mr Nielson is sceptical it could ever replace current methods.

"I think it will always be an augmentation - another source of protein for people and animals," he said.

I assumed you werent joking.

Honeslty do you expect people to trust lab grown meat? We barely trust all the prescription drugs we are on. Mention genetically engineer vegetables to bpeople and they freak out. This is a viable idea if people were rational.
 
i agree. I was trying to think of ANY dish i would make that could POSSABLY use this and there really isnt anything that would make me buy cyberman meat (to steal a phrase from doctor who)
 
I am a vegetarian, not a vegan. I eat fish, cheese, and drink milk. For those of you who like to consume arteries and veins, fat and gristle, muscle and flesh, that ok. I used to be a meat and potatoes man myself. I also used to take a lot of medication to control my cholestrole and blood pressure. Since I have started my midlife diet, I have stopped taking these medications due to a drop in cholesterole and blood pressure. I do miss some meats though.
 
Why isn't fish considered meat. It comes from an animal and a life is still being sacrificed to feed people so I don't understand why meat from a fish isn't meat and meat from a chicken or cow is. There seems to be some sort of double standard here. I always thought that catholics made up that rule because they wanted something to eat on Fridays during Lint. Of course that didn't stop me from eating chicken anyway.
