KFC Commercials.

This is ridiculous. My morals and intelligence are in question because I eat meat. Hahah.

not at all... I'm just asking if you'd ever thought of it this way? Larger scale so to speak. One particular avenue you've never wandered down perhaps. I learn something new everyday...

I don't know, in general I'd say I don't believe in absolutes... I just have this theory that if we all did our little part, "things" could get better fast.
Props to the people pick up trash from the beach, or eat veggie, or ride their bike to work rather than driving a car. It's not possible for everyone and I understand that, but as individuals we don't have to go along with a culture of waste...

hmmm, it sounds like I'm judging again at the end... not intentional. I just get too idealistic when i'm high at 4am...

Yes. Things would be better if the majority of us thought straight. Unfortunately, we're a minority. That's why I always say there's no hope for society, but there's hope for the individual.

we're a whole society of individuals! surely there's hope? And even if there's not, if the actions of a single individual can make the whole experience better for just a single individual... isn't it still worth it?

There's that 4AM idealism. :)

There're just too many misinformed, and the numbers are growing. Everyone's misinformed about something. Nobody's perfect. I just don't see it getting any better.

That isn't to say there aren't tons of amazing people out there. We're rarely unified enough to do something about it, though.

Actually, I disagree with we're a society of individuals. We're a society of brainwashed sheep with a few individuals. Haha

I think you might be pleasantly surprised at how aware people are outside of our national bubble.
Which is to say... idealistically, I'm thinking of society on the largest scale again.

Besides, we evolved teeth to eat meat before their were alternatives. Soy products can be substituted for any meat product and it's just as good. These animals have the cognitive ability of small children. They like classical music. They can do math. Most importantly, they can suffer just as well as any of us.

just shut the fuck up and eat a stake already !!!!

The problem i have with KFC has already been pointed out, however...if someone was to buy a kfc burger and put it infront of me, i would eat it. I have no qualms eating meat, it's just the way in which it's raised/killed etc. The reason i'd eat the burger is because otherwise it's just a waste, a) by eating something put infront of me i'm not contributing to the industry, i'm not being wasteful. b) kfc could easily afford to use much better quality chicken, raise them properly, not inject them with growth hormones and water, and subsequently would be giving better quality of life to the chickens and better quality food for consumers. However, one thing stands in the way...profit, and the fact that although they'll try and convince you otherwise...they don't give a fuck what you shove down your throat...

POWER OUTAGE BLAMED ON CHOKING DRIVER

NEWPORT, N.H. - A temporary power outage on Friday was blamed on a man who choked on a piece of food while driving. Police say Ronald Tinker, 40, was eating chicken when a piece got caught in his throat. He choked, blacked out and veered off the road, taking down a wire that was supporting a utility pole.
Tinker said the crash must have knocked the chicken out of his throat. He was taken to New London Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

SUE KFC!! ^ Remember the woman who sued McDonald's because she couldn't keep her coffee in her cup? :rolleyes:

Ah, the name Lateralus. I should have made that connection. I have that cassette tape (Tool)...but nothing to play it in anymore. I listened to it on the road afew times before they changed trucks on me and I eneded up witha CD player. There's another song on there I like alot...Schism? I know the pieces fit...?

I've heard that a Tool show is quite the spectacular event.

So long as yoiu catch them at their own show, i.e. with all their lighting and backdrops/screens etc...and enough time for them to perform the eeeennntttiiirrreee show...2hours+. If you catch them at a festival, it's usually an injustice.
