Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks for understanding without criticising Trish. Peter H Trish Carr <bantrymoon Sent: Thursday, 24 January, 2008 2:04:45 AM Re: Taco changes >>>> My point is , if you like the taste,texture of animal flesh, then you like the taste and texture of flesh. I cant think of any other way of putting it. My mindset is just that. <<<<You should certainly keep your mindset and I think it's a fine one. It's not an issue for me, though. I know that no animal was killed to make my veganburger, and no cow is burping out the greenhouse gases to make my vegan rice cheez slices. That pretty much covers it for me. I love my pleather boots, too, even though I can't tell them from leather. The knowledge of their reality is enough for me.Cheers,Trish Sent from - a smarter inbox.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008  Well at least they had to travel to attack you. Ours were the ferocious squirrel's: a family of 17 with whom we had to share our square foot of mud! - fraggle Thursday, January 24, 2008 8:41 PM Re: Re: Taco changes nieghborhood? you had neighbors?! our nearest neighbors were several rabid armadillos that lived 18 miles away...,.,. metalscarab Jan 24, 2008 12:54 PM Re: Re: Taco changes  Well, I say bones, but really more bits of discarded banana skin held together with puddle water. I can't imagine the delight you must have had at finding a bit of cardboard or a cathode ray tube. Such things were in short supply in my neighbourhood!

You had gums? How lucky can you get. When I was a kid, our gums were confiscated by the government, and we had to make do with just half a jaw bone....

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Abused by or raped by is a direct action against you, and much worse than something you don't like being done to something else, therefore, you could expect that that reaction might occur.
