Critics may condemn PETA for supporting euthanasia, but we are not ashamed of providing a merciful exit from an uncaring world to broken beings. We know that we are also working at the roots of a problem PS - please find enclosed an envelope for you to send a donation back to us. We made $30 million last year, but would like to make $40 million this year...the boss wants a new mansion and an upgrade on the Aston-Martin You forgot about his new "Don't wear fur" bumper sticker. LOL

So, you agree that PETA's efforts for the cause they serve are of equal value to any other organization's efforts with respect to the causes they serve? If you're asking do I think that PETAs efforts are as laudable as Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda, I'd have to just laugh. After all, both organizations believe they are doing great work. Pretty broad sweeping question your asking. As far as PETAs efforts, I'm sure that some find value in what they do, but it provides no value to me. Don't be dense. I was questioning your repeated comments suggesting that human rights are a better cause than animal rights. That's your judgment. You may have no personal interest in PETA's cause, but there's no reason to be disrespectful towards people who do value their efforts by disparaging them as being a "waste."

trivia question....which world leader was the first (only?) to ban animal experimentation? (hint: ruled germany from the late 1930's to 1945)
My guess would be Hitler, although he just moved his experimentation from animals to the Jews.

PETA is just another self-important, self-serving "rights" organization that takes itself too seriously and hides behind a seemingly noble cause to do nothing more than attract attention to itself, control people, pat itself on the back, and generate tax-exempt cash.

You may have no personal interest in PETA's cause, but there's no reason to be disrespectful towards people who do value their efforts by disparaging them as being a "waste." So in essence, I'm only entitled to my own opinion as long as it doesn't conflict with yours? Just for clarification purposes, (since I'm so dense I want to make sure I understand) are you suggesting that PETAs efforts for animal rights is a better use of manpower than trying to make peoples lives better?

Other people might disagree with you, but there's no need to insult them for it.

No, that is not what I am suggesting.

but there's no need to insult them for it well, again, I did not insult them, regardless of how you and X interpret it. I said that what they do, in my opinion, is a waste. That is not a personal insult, and maybe you have a problem discerning between a personal insult and someone stating that an action is wasteful, but there is a difference. if I said "Those PETA people are idiots? that would be an insult. That I find their actions a wasteful use of resources is not an insult to them at all.

I was about to ask how we went from PETA defacing the Colonel's grave to "PETA's last stand". When was the last time Sander's name was mentioned in this thread?
