1 I hate these people.  I just do.  I can't help it.  They are not to be pitied, they are to be despised. 

2 One question...

How come the founders of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement are still alive?

Shouldn't the movement have reached extinction pretty quickly?  Who pays for their web site?

3

vegetarians are roughly equivalent to mass murderers

that's right fuckers mass murderer...who wants a piece of me!

4 1 They hate themselves too.They hate all humanity.

Ok, but what would we do for laughs?

6 End of the big block from GM

I guess I won't help as much as they thought it would...

7 4 -- you got it right. This is nothing less than unadulterated misanthropy.

8 Went out to lunch with a colleague today and as we were scooting along in his Prius NPR dribbled from the radio. The subject was AGW. According to NPR the Copenhagen debacle never happened ClimateGate never happened, the ice caps and glaciers will be gone next Tuesday, dogs and cats are not only living together they are having puppens. It was absolutely stunning.

I'm adding to the methane gas problem right now!

10 I'm willing to let any who want into the self-extinction line cut in front of me.  I'm selfless like that.

11
End of the big block from GM

That SUCKS!   I really, really hope they have sold the plans to someone who appreciates them.  There's no replacement for displacement.  Fucking pussies.

12 Begone, Demon Sock from Hell!!!

13 Who's been feeding my dang cows White Castle's??

14 Ok assholes... you go first. We'll be right there after you die. Honest.

15 Come to Detroit! Houses Cheap! Lots of empty land! Back to Nature!

16

Hey, somebody pull my finger.

17

They hate themselves too.They hate all humanity

And farm animals.

18 Yeah, anytime one of these libtard enviro weenies starts with man is evil, there are too many people, I'm like, okay.  You go first.

19 Too many cows?  Simple enough solution.  Federalize steak and bj day.

20 Kool-aid. Poison. Some assembly required .

21 Ok, let me get this straight.

1. Livestock is causing global warming.
2. The solution would be to kill all livestock.
3. But you can't kill the livestock, because they possibly have legal rights.
4. The solution??? Free range livestock and vegetarianism?
5. No, can't do that. Plants have feelings.

So, I'm guessing the only "logical" libtard solution is voluntary extinction? Is that correct?

"All I can recommend for those folks as a way to maintain their moral "high ground" is the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Those of us of weaker moral character will ummmm "celebrate" their passing."

I agree with PA.  Why aren't we seeing some of these self-righteous assholes making the ultimate sacrifice and martyring themselves to help save the planet?  If they don't want to go to that extreme, why don't they quit flying, quit driving, quit living in houses, working in buildings, wearing clothes, eating, breathing, quit having pets, stop having kids, etc. For some reason, I just don't see many of them even taking the small steps. 

26 But sea kittens are still greenhouse-gas neutral, right? Hungry land kittehs want to know.

27 Humans Pwned !!!

28 Who's been feeding my dang cows White Castle's??

Posted by: Leathery Western Rancher Guy at December 23, 2009 08:55 PM (aC0uO)

Considering that cows are now producing 20% more gas than last year (farts deadly enough to cause snowstorms in Copenhagen and DC), I'm thinking some dastardly earth-hating super-villian must have taken a page from that Seinfeld episode with the horse.

That's it! Holy Gaia, Batman,  Dick Cheney is feeding cows beans!  

29 Er, you are surprised?  Pets are evil, everything is evil except vegans!

30 Lemme be clear, economic recovery is contingent upon bovine reform.

Hold on, hold on.  I know a lot of folks are afraid of bovine change.  Know this.  If you like your cow, you can keep her.  If you like your cow patty, you can keep that too.  And it won't cost you a thing.

Not one dime.

And I mean it.

31 I think the problem is the whole "voluntary" part.  Too much slacking, in my opinion.

32

"Just turds, just cow patties!"

-Wee Wee the 1st

33 So, cow tipping is cool now?

34

Actually there is an option for people who don't consume water, plants or meat:  Breatharianism. 

http://tinyurl.com/2doaqh

It leads to dehydration and an agonizing death.  But, shouldn't a true believer be willing to make that sacrifice for Gaia?

35

One word:

Eatmorebeef !!!!11!!

36 I'm convinced that there would be half as many vegans and vegetarians in the world if they weren't able to talk about it with anyone. They're pretty much the bastard offspring of Rachel Carson and Savonarola.

37 All of you guys need to go look at a 6-part YouTube documentary called "The Cloud Mystery."  If you watch it, you will understand climate variations and will be able to argue with these moonbats.

To summarize:
1. The earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays,  which come from dying stars.
2.  Cosmic rays hit the earth,  and some of them cause charged particles in the atmosphere, which attract water droplets and form clouds.
3.  When the earth has a greater amount of low altitude clouds formed by the cosmic rays, the earth cools.  Less clouds, warmer surface temps.
4. The sun's magnetic field deflects some cosmic rays.  When the sun is active, less rays, less clouds, warmer earth.  Lazy sun, more rays, cooler earth. 
5.  When the earth passes through dense areas of the Milky Way, the sun can't overcome the cosmic rays, so we get an ice age. 

Go watch this documentary.  It's easy to understand, and you will be able to tell the global warming acquaintances of yours to go pound sand.

I found the link to this here several days ago as one of those tinyurl things.  I am very grateful to whoever posted that.  Seriously,  go find this documentary and watch it.  It's easy to understand and you will be amazed.

For all of you mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, Philistine Luddites:

As a highly credentialed research scientist I can tell you that the views you fools scoff at are strongly supported by an enormous amount of rigorously reviewed data that gives proof to the current scientific consensus. As a community, we scientists simply cannot allow idiots like you to lead us down the path of planetary destruction.

The Build-a-Bears were right!!!  The ice caps will melt before THIS Christmas!!!!

Burn down McDonalds, burn down Burger King...

40 Hold on just a sec...  where do you think botox comes from??

41 Tim Robbins and Suzan Sarandon just broke up.  Could one have been too liberal for the other?  If so, which one?

If Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon take a shit in the woods, does Al Gore take a long position on carbon futures?

You too.

 

45 So now it's BGW. Let's celebrate! We humans are off the hook.

46 I can't believe that you linked directly to the VHEM website.
If you distill Leftism to its pure essence, what you'll get is the pustule that is VHEM.
At least they believe in preserving all life aside from humanity, well not anymore now that we know that animals have a huge carbon footprint.
Maybe that's next: the annihilation of all life period.

Yeah, that'll be next.

47 41 Tim Robbins and Suzan Sarandon just broke up.  Could one have been too liberal for the other?  If so, which one?

They both found the other too conservative, each accusing the other of being a greedy capitalist running dog pig...

48

Dave C:  Silly, buffalo gas was pure and organic and undoubtably wafted a sweet smell lovelier than Chanel No. 5 over the prairies.

Nasty agribusiness cow methane is a whole 'nother thing.  Those are capitalist farts! 

49 "Tim Robbins and Suzan Sarandon just broke up." Her tits finally hit the floor. (I thought I heard something.)

50

"Hey, somebody pull my finger."

If someone would be kind enough to pull my finger, I could fire all the pizza ovens in Naples, Florida.

51 Uh oh - if cows are causing so much GW/CC, then there's going to be a huge battle over this in India.  A cow was the limo of their original Hindu god, doncha know....

52 I keyed two brand new Subaru's today that had O stickers on them so,  I'm feeling much better. Try it, you'll like it.

53

so I guess the best thing we can do is, like Dr Goebbels, kill our children and then kill ourselves (maybe our pets, too), but wouldn't all the methane from the billions of rotting corpses drive the greenhouse gas global warming thing over the tipping point that they keep barking about and make the oceans rise and maybe destroy all the coastal wetlands and stuff?

God... so difficult to be a brilliant caring leftwing asshat. I'm gonna have another drink and read some more of Malkin's book.

Oh, PS, who cares that Sarandon and Robbins split up? It's not going to get me a tax cut.

54

I say instead of going after domestic livestock, let's go after animals that are less useful to us.  First, we can nuke the caribou, because there are an awful lot of them walking around farting.  Next, the obvious targets are the huge wildebeest herds in Africa.  That should buy us maybe 100 hundred years or so.  If there's still a problem, we go after the largest animals on the planet - whales and elephants.

Wouldn't that make these people happy?

55 everything is evil except vegans!

They both lost.

58 I will honor the vegans.

59 33 So, cow tipping is cool now?

Posted by: eman at December 23, 2009 09:12 PM (ttigb)

Cow tipping is ALWAYS cool.

60 I wonder how many of these enviro nuts own dogs or cats?  What the hell do their pets eat?  Cats and dogs are carnivores.  However, I have heard of a "movement" of libtards who want to "train" their pets to be vegetarians.  Total insanity.

Save the pets!

61 I've got three dogs, and my tahoe. I think it has room for another.

62 Right now there is a 12+ pound standing rib roast @ $70 sitting patiently in my fridge waiting for a nice dry-rub with some fine herds and garlic in anticipation of an early Christmas Day dinner @ med-rare with choice of horseradish or Béarnaise sauces or au jous, a mix of fancy roasted potatoes and parsley, a Greek salad, and a fine wine. Followed by lemon zest pound cake, mixed berries and real whipped cream in front of my wood burning fireplace.   These psudo-earthers can eat shit and die.

63

I know this is going to sound macabre but I just don't think these climate scientists and nature worshipers are committed to their cause.  I'm sorry - not buyin' it.

Look - these people are basically against human life and the life that humans have domesticated to support human life as either food or companionship. 

From time immemorial, the ultimate measure of commitment to any cause has been whether a person was willing to die for that cause.  Name your cause.  Fact check it.

So bottom line is this; until millions of the army of Gaia start offing themselves enmasse every year on Earth Day, they are full of shit.

64

Let me guess what their solution was without reading the article:  We all eat our own shit.

65

"I will honor the vegans."

I've been honoring them , big time, all my life.

Oh crap --- I misread that as "vaginas".

66 So, wait, livestock methane is 51% (BTW, I know these are all BS numbers, but I'll accept them).  Water vapor is a significant percentage.

So why is CO2 such a big deal?

67 Where's that vid of the crazy woman crying and "comforting" trees?  Yes indeed wackos, plants do have feelings.  And they're going to get their shit together, join forces and go all Freddy Krueger on your asses with pine cones and rosebush thorns.

68 #63

I'll be at your house early Christmas.  I'll bring amazing molten chocolate baby cakes.  Oh, and since I'm inviting myself, I'll also make a nice arugula salad with fresh pear, spiced pecans, and blue cheese.

*damn, now I'm hungry*

69 All I can recommend for those folks as a way to maintain their moral "high ground" is the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Those of us of weaker moral character will ummmm "celebrate" their passing.

PJ O'Rourke summed up their attitude in the title of one chapter in his book "All the Troubles in the World";  Just Enough of Me, Way Too Much of You"

70 Also, the NYT goes off the tracks printing a piece about how vegetarians are roughly equivalent to mass murderers because like...plants have feelings and shit...or something like that.

Naturally, even a significant percentage of their moonbat readers have ripped them a new one for taking that radical a stance.

If the NYT had me in charge, there would be strict discipline in the comments section and those crazy plant hating denialists would be banned!

Jane: I've seen vegan dog food in stores.  What's really ridiculous is that it was "soybean and thyme" flavored.  As if dogs are gourmets who care about herbs and seasonings.  Yeah, my old retriever started drooling and begging every time I got anywhere near the spice rack. 

Vegan moonbats aren't content with trying to change human nature.  They're now trying to change animal nature too.  Good luck with that. 

 

80 I'm watching Jessie Ventura's Conspiracy Theory now about global warming.

I need a big block for my 62 Chevy C-10 now.

81 kdabear - I would estimate vegan survivors at less than 1% of the new and improved general population.

98 91 a friend of mine (not a lib but a "health" freak) who is so thin she looks like a holocaust victim had an undersized baby. When he had been eating for a few months the doctor became concerned. What are you feeding him? The same thing I eat: non-fat yogurt, skim milk, apple sauce, and vegetables. She was told to put fat in his diet or he would die. Children have to have fat to grow and develop brain cells. I wonder what these vegan parents do to their children if the women have enough body fat to conceive.....

99 Not that I have a problem with eating dog meat, other than my best pal here, but is there any evidence that producing 1000 pounds of dog meat is more eco-friendly than 1000 pounds of cow?

Actually, that's what my sister calls it but it's really a paste.

Be sure to use a paper towel and dry the roast real good so everything sticks.  Make a paste (food processor) out of either butter or olive oil, herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary  ... and sage if you want but I use very little), salt/pepper and horseradish.  Fat side up and bone side down on the rack in the pan. Schmear-on the paste nice and thick over the top and sides of dried roast.  Roast uncovered accordingly.

If you leave out the oil/butter it WILL be dry rub, which is fine also but the paste gives a great crust.

redclay -

 

Also good idea to let the roast sit for a bit on the counter out of the fridge to come close to room temp so it cooks more evenly. and remember to let it sit for 15-20 minutes before cutting into it to preserve the internal juices. meat therm. should be used to check. look online for guide to pounds vs temp vs time for done-to-order.

113 Writing in the UK Guardian, some guy named Mark Lynas writes an article blaming China for the failure of Hopenchangen.  I get the feeling he thinks he's doing B to the O a solid, helping him save face and all, but this paragraph is delicious to say the least....



"What I saw was profoundly shocking. The Chinese premier, Wen Jinbao, did not deign to attend the meetings personally, instead sending a second-tier official in the country's foreign ministry to sit opposite Obama himself. The diplomatic snub was obvious and brutal, as was the practical implication: several times during the session, the world's most powerful heads of state were forced to wait around as the Chinese delegate went off to make telephone calls to his "superiors"."

Whoaaaaa Mark,  you're expecting me to believe that the Chinese premier isn't so wowed by B to the O's dynamism that he's ready to drop and give him mouth-hugs? 

Come on, I know every world leader is ready to join hands and sing kumbyah as soon as B to the O enters the room.  None of them would have the stones to snub him.  Nor would they want to.  I give your account and interpretation  of the proceedings a B+.

114 Which is why some jerks especialy that dumb INGRID NEWKIRK founder of that stupid group PETA  was blabbering about a stupid tax on meat knowing that PETA is absolutly the most stupid group of jerks around and going meatlless once a week from some hindu wacko dim-bulb SCREW PETA and SCREW THE UN and tell KOFFI ANNAN to BEND OVER AND KISS HIS OWN BUTTHOLE

115 I've still got a few 5 gallon tanks of freon, free to anyone who wants to vent them into the atmosphere.  You pay shipping, though.

116 I am so happy to be in Hawaii in Obamaland. I saw ONE biodiesel car. Gas is $3.67 a gallon for regular. Oh, and on the back roads to Hana today, we went over 13 cattle guards on the road. Saw huge herds of cattle here in Maui. I guess that's what's ruining the whale population.

http://tinyurl.com/yb4vvws  Unbelievably true, but the Comments are commedy gold. 

118 Plants give off carbon dioxide, right?  So why isn't the solution to global warming to clear cut the rain forests in the Amazon and Africa?  Mow 'em all down and put in Wal-Marts, 7-11s and BevMos.  Sounds good to me.

119 Happy pre-Christmas eve everyone! 

120 (from the Times article) Just because we humans can’t hear them doesn’t mean plants don’t howl. Some of the compounds that plants generate in response to insect mastication — their feedback, you might say — are volatile chemicals that serve as cries for help. Such airborne alarm calls have been shown to attract both large predatory insects like dragon flies, which delight in caterpillar meat, and tiny parasitic insects, which can infect a caterpillar and destroy it from within. Cooler than cool.

121 So, cattle are 51%, cars 45%, factories 62%, so, what, water vapor is down to -53%?

Or maybe we're just dealing with monumental stupid here.

Such mind-shattering, colossal, Earth-girding stupidity that it could, indeed, desire and end to itself.

So be it. Watch them end.

122 <I>Curiously, some of them sympathize with the plants. All I can recommend for those folks as a way to maintain their moral "high ground" is the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Those of us of weaker moral character will ummmm "celebrate" their passing.,</i>

Concurrent with their joining the VHEM they can start their <a href="http://www.spacedaily.com/news/food-03d.html">"Sunlight Diet" as studied by NASA</a>:

<blockquote>An Indian man, who claims to have survived only on liquids and sunlight for eight years, has been invited by NASA to show them how he does it.

Hira Ratan Manek - also known as Hirachand - a 64-year-old mechanical engineer who lives in the southern state of Kerala, apparently started disliking food in 1992, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported.

In 1995, he went on a pilgrimage to the Himalayas and stopped eating completely on his return.

His wife, Vimla, said: "Every evening he looks at the sun for one hour without batting an eyelid. It is his main food. Occasionally he takes coffee, tea or some other liquid."

Last June, scientists from the US space agency verified that Manek spent 130 days surviving only on water, the report said.

They even named this subsistence on water and solar energy after him: The HRM (Hira Ratan Manek) Phenomenon.

Mr Manek is now in the US to show NASA's scientists how he survives without food.

The US space agency hopes to use the technique to solve food storage and preservation problems on its expeditions, the report said.

Mr Manek said he "eats through his eyes" in the evening, when the sun's ultraviolet rays are least harmful. He and his wife claim the technique is totally scientific. However, doctors warn that staring at the sun can make you blind.

From the Wikipedia link above on Breatharianism - "some groups and individuals promote the practice as a skill which anybody can learn through specific techniques, sometimes only after paying large fees"

I think I've found my next career.  I can "teach" silly people how to not eat, thus saving the planet, making money, and getting some laughs all at the same time.  This could be good.

Aw shucks.  No problem.    

CERN (as in the LHC) is running a battery of tests on the theory and has preliminary results which support Svensmark's conclusions, if I read their   results correctly.    Unlike AGW theory based on CO2 as a climate driver with clouds as a byproduct (which can't predict anything correctly, especially the last ten years), Svensmark seems to have hit on one of the main factors in Earth's cyclical temperatures. 

There are other factors from Milankovich Cycles and volcanoes to sun spots, but cloud formation (or not) changes temperatures every day everywhere. 

127 Since one carnivore is pretty much the same as another, rather than eat my dog, I put poison bait out near a wolves den and finally shot that cougar in the guts so it is slowly dying after running to someone else's property.   There's cap n' trade for dogs too, right?

128 Thanks once again for taking one for the team ace. You couldn't provide enough hookers and blow to get me to watch him.
