In all seriousness, I like that he removes the stale threads here because if they outnumbered the tech posts, that would be sad.

For those of you that are wondering where your thread went, here is the answer. I deleted it. As I said earlier, just because the topic is anything goes, doesn't mean anything goes. This may be starting to sound like a dictatorship. Good, you're starting to understand.

Oh yeah, you'd never delete anything for disagreeable content. And Fueher just means leader. You are a weaselly little liar as well as an ignorant urbanite.

"STFU" isn't debating BTW.

Well there's my proof. You deleted my post and in a fit of infantile rage you edited my post to make it says things that I never did. You must be awfully proud of your super hero like powers.

Uhhmm? What? What the hell are you talking about? I didn't edit shit..

There's my proof, you deleted it, and now I post it again.

It seems like you are capable of learning. So you must be willful ignorant.

diggitybiggity wrote: Diggity"I own you"Biggity

You don't own me. I suspect you don't own anything. You probably don't even own your own dick.

Delete me again. And I'll post it again.

I already said I didn't mean to delete it.. post it all you want.. sorry dude.. shit happens.. get a fucking grip

Joe,

When you're the moderator of a section, the edit button is right next to the quote button, just like the rest of us see when we run across one of our own posts.

Even worse, the edit button is on the right, where the quote button usually is. Look up the thread and check it out.

Will accidently screwed up one of my posts in tech this way. (Sorry, Will).

Thanks for trying to back me up Doug.. but this Joe is irrational, and I doubt it matters to him

Your Fuehrer(he hates this)

It's easy to spout off a bunch of statistics to support an argument. I want to know who collected these stats, in what manner were they collected, how big their sample was, what the statistical validity is, etc.

Although I'm not arguing that Americans eat way too much meat, I'm not a fan of statistics. To the educated person, like me, all those statistics don't really mean a hell of alot until I can actually see where they got the numbers from and how they were interpeted. To the uneducated buffon, like Steve Kelley, it can produce a biased opinion based on what can potentially be a bunch of bullshit. Why do you think politicians use statistics so much?

Thats a bunch of bullcrap! Pun intended.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I feel like firing up the BBQ and doing some T-bones and ribs. MMMMMM!!!!

Figures don't lie, but liars figure.

Let's a few of these gems to examine more closely:

diggitybiggity wrote: Percentage of corn grown in US eaten by people: 20%
Percentage of corn grown in US eaten by livestock: 80%

How much of this grain is used domestically and how much is exported? If you're bashing American meat consumption, don't you need to differentiate?

Percentage of protein wasted by cycling grain through livestock: 90%

How is "wasted" defined?

Occupation with the highest rate of on-the-job injury in US: Slaughterhouse Worker

This is obvious crap.
Are you asserting that injury rates are higher among slaughterhouse workers than rodeo clowns? bullshit.

TIME and TIME AGAIN I've chastised you for slip-shod drivel like this, yet you persist...

NO sources cited
NO definitions offered
NO methodolgies documented
