This is just another in a long list of examples of why I get pissed when PETA gets any good press with respect to their false public stance on stray - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:12 20
- also *smh* at the prosecutor's decision not to pursue the case. - znufrii Nov 14, 09:25 2
  - Clearly they're afraid to take on PETA. Cowards. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:32
  - anything short of a confession is not enough - dogbert Nov 14, 09:27
- You haven't worked with any PETA members at your job? -- nm - amoxy Nov 14, 09:24 1
  - One of our board members is involved with PETA (he joined them after he was already on our board), i've never met him, which is probably a good thing. - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:31
- The Anti-shelter movement is in full force here. Signs at major malls and petition movement. Somehow shelters are bad for animals, -- nm - budice Nov 14, 09:17 4
  - I am very conflicted on this topic. I love animals, but I know the shelters are overrun - groiny Nov 14, 09:18 3
    - Being a pit mix is not an automatic death sentence, if the shelter is willing to make an effort (too many aren't). We just helped find a great home - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:24 2
      - yep, pit rescues go and pluck them out of that environment. - colin Nov 14, 09:26
      - oh, I know. I also know my last visit to the local shelter, was 90% pit mixes. - groiny Nov 14, 09:26
- why the fuck would they do that???? -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 09:14 9
  - their shelters have extremely high kill rates.. reason? they believe that an animal is better off dead than as a captive. - colin Nov 14, 09:18 5
    - yeah, that's messed up. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 09:22
    - I can see taking a wandering dog off the street, but walking onto someones property to take one??? - groiny Nov 14, 09:19 3
      - SPCA has been known to do this.. get a report, they show up and act like they have authority, seize an animal. - colin Nov 14, 09:25 1
        
        Yeah, f-them too. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:32
      - Extremists are extreme. -- nm - spamlet Nov 14, 09:20
  - my reaction exactly -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 09:15
  - Because they're evil. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:15 1
    - I suspect that the victim is not quite telling all the truth, but still, you can't just invade my property - groiny Nov 14, 09:16

- I had a couple of Krugerrands I bought years ago. Gave them to the grandkids last Christmas with a warning not to spend them foolishly.... - Meg Nov 14, 09:07
- "Off you go to spend it on penny whistles and moon pies." -- nm - Cran-Baron-ies Nov 14, 09:06 1
  - The correct reference is "Dad, we'd love to stay here and listen to your amusing antidote, but we have to take these coins to the mall and spend 'em!" -- nm - Roger More Nov 14, 09:15
- Depends on whether they are a product of the US Mint. - TWuG Nov 14, 09:06
- As a kid I found coins and souvenirs fascinating. That would have been a neat gift for me. -- nm - Max Nov 14, 09:06 3
  - I actually agree. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 09:09 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - my daughter took about 30 Susan B Anthony coins I had stored for 20 years - groiny Nov 14, 09:17

What do you guys think of this discussion board post (C&P inside)? "An open letter to straight people who go to gay clubs/bars..." - con_carne Nov 14, 08:54 9
- I agree... straight people at gay bars can be annoying. I think if you're there as a supporter, that's the right mindset. - colin Nov 14, 09:07
- *shrug* maybe he's had some of these problems, but mostly he sounds like a bitchy bottom. - ty97 Nov 14, 09:07 1
  - probably drives a miata. -- nm - colin Nov 14, 09:07
- pretty much boils down to "don't be an asshole", doesn't it? -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 09:00 1
  - I don't think so. There's a kind of entitlement/ignorance he's addressing which people with good intentions seem capable of -- nm - con_carne Nov 14, 09:03
- I think its a letter without a cause - Pippy Turkey Stuffer Nov 14, 08:59
- I think it's way to long -- nm - decline Nov 14, 08:54 2
  - Heh. Serious TLDR: While straight people are welcome, understand that gay bars/clubs are a sanctuary for gays. - con_carne Nov 14, 08:59 1
    - " we do not have the right to paw at your boobs just because we are gay" - Pippy Turkey Stuffer Nov 14, 09:00

Okay, I lost access to my work email account months ago, but didn't get around to removing it from my iPhone until last night. Problem. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 14, 08:48 4
