I hate these people who think they can push their way of life on everyone! Leave the restaurant alone - it is legal meat! I think it is very inhumane to pick heads of lettuce, but I do not bomb threaten at salad joints.
Well, you're just about as dumb as they come, aren't you???? Anyone who eats one of these burgers should be ashamed of themselves. And the restaurant should be boycotted.
Where are the human burgers for those people who want the human experience?
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lions have been eating humans for thousands of years. I'm thirsting for revenge. WAITER, GET ME A LION BURGER! BETTR YET, MAKE IT A DOUBLE LION BURGER!
and we all hate you for pushing YOUR way of life on everyone ELSE. Legal meat? You say that JUST because no one said otherwise. have some integrity, ITS WRONG
No, you are the moron, you can purchase this meat legally, so who are you to say people cannot eat it!
Who are you to say that people ARE? You like drama, I can tell, you feed off it, like a little teenage girl
sickofthis123, are you illiterate? PJ is making the point that this meat is legal and is wondering what the big fuss is about. I swear, you either can't read or you have a problem taking offense towards what everyone says to you.
are YOU illiterate? All meat ISNT legal retard, and your missing the whole point to all of this. read all the posts before you show your ignorant ass to everyone.
wow, nice name calling there, before you have to get on the short bus to get home let me tell you that this lion meat is legal.
"USDA spokesman Jim Brownlee says lion meat is an uncommon dish, but he knew of no prohibitions against it."
Sickofthis, and i'm the one that's illiterate???? oh yeah, don't miss the short bus home.
well I didnt read it so I cant be illiterate yet, but thanks for informing me. Im glad the USDA controlls what you decide in your life. If the USDA said eating human meat was ok, would you eat that too?
dang, you really have reading problems. Did I type we should follow what the usda says? where did I say that? my response was that the usda knew of no restrictions from eating lion meat. I can recommend you some books that increase reading comprehension, they are usually in the kiddie-areas at bookstores.
again, your really trying hard here and I commend you for that, but the first opinion you gave was a USDA members opinion. Obviously you value their opinion enough to quote it right? Obviously to you they pull some sort of weight when it come to deciding if lion burgers are ok.
I gave you the definition to bigot and im sure you understand that, do you know the definition of faggot? Its the first word that pops into my mind when I see your pathetic words come onto my screen. In fact I cant think of any word past that to describe you. You might be able to find books on it in your kiddie section
sickofyou, nice name calling again. It's nice to see how the weak minded always resort to that. When people like you don't have anything else to say because of limitations in their cranial cavity that's what always happens. Trust me, there is help for people like you LOL
you resorted to it first so I guess your saying your weak minded? L.O.L? is this a chat room for laughing out loud? Are you sure your not the one at the parents house?
AGAIN no sound argument.
read post #1.7 and #1.12 (retard & faggot). Haha, speaking of homosexual, you're so deep in the closet you found christmas presents from 1986, enjoy playing with them barbies!!
wow. do you get your jokes from carlos mencia?
where do you get your beliefs the kkk?
Your like a parrot, you just repeat the same insult over and over, its like a special needs kid who just learns his first joke.
where do you get your beliefs the kkk?
exactly
Tony the Tiger says they taste 'GRRREAAATE'.
Lion is not a normal meal in South Africa. The vast majority there of both races eat cattle and many eat goat. While some parts of Africa do eat things I never would, like gorilla, that does not apply in South Africa. That restaurant owner is so dumb he would serve dog to Americans in honor of the Iditarod sled race in Alaska.
Ha. Good one, I totally agree.
It is not preferrable or advisable to eat the meat of a predator. And if anyone of a Christian religion eats it they should read thier bible again. It is forbidden to eat predators.
I like the part in the bible where Peter has a vision and he learns he can eat anything he wants. It can be found in the Acts of the Apostles.
As Christ said, it's not what goes into the mouth but rather what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man.
Lucy - shut the "F" up with your bible stuff; Christians have been eating many different kids ofmeats fr thousands of years. Unless you actually wrote the bible, don't try to tell us what it "means".
It doesnt matter if you kill it for food or fun, it still feels pain. Dont bring the Bible into it and PJ dont comment on @!$%# you cant even come close to understanding. Your race was not made to think, just work. So keep the thinking to people who can actually think for themselves, not a drone that just repeats whatever they hear.
When I want religion I read the bible, when I want food I read a menu.
LOL you guys are so predictable.
Sickofthis - say something that makes sense. My race? do you know who I am? I think not. People like you should toss yourselves into a lion's cage to do Darwin a favor. I would love to meet you to see what you look like and find out what you do for a living and and what exactly you eat. Leave the important comments to those of us who actually have an advanced education and understans the realities of life.
Advanced education? What did you go to University of Phoenix online? Or just graduate middle school? Realities of life? You dont get the first fact to the realities of life. What are you views on the "realities" of life? What are those?
Sickofthis123, shut up, Lucy was the one that brought the bible into this. You say don't bring the bible into this but look who brought race into this, YOU! Get out of your mom's basement, the air is good for you.
hahah wow, if you can read you will see that gordyiniowa brought the race card in to begin with.I think this is really PJ making another fake account to back up himself on his points. Or what_the wants his balls. either one
sickofthinking, gordy mentioned "who cooked it? a mexican ?" and then you mentioned "Your race was not made to think, just work" (#5.4). I wonder which one sounds racist. Hhmm, seeing that you may not have advanced beyond the third grade lol, I'll do the thinking here. It looks like gordy's was an assumption, maybe he was right who knows. Your comment on the other hand was racial bias big time, I'm sure most will agree with me. Sorry to ruin your playtime with them barbies, but you brought race into this, not he.
I have already touched on that issue and apologized for it, now your bringing it up because your running out of arguments that are about lion burgers. Your going everywhere else but the issue.
again no sound argument
ok, I'll go back to the issue. If I decide to eat meat again and lion burgers are on the menu in my local restaurant...the only words that will come out of my mouth when the food hits the table is "pass the ketchup." 1)If the meat is legal, 2)If I'm willing to pay for it and any other consequences that come my way for eating it, 3)then it's on me, I will face the consequences. I don't need people telling me that my life choices are wrong, it's my life. The same way I'm not telling people to quit smoking, because that's what you are doing.
If you have a problem with lion meat, then leave momma's basement and get your butt to the farm in illinois and protest. Put on your protest clothes: booty shorts and a shirt that is cut halfway across. Go to the source of the problem, see what the workers there have to say, they'll love to hear your views. We don't need your spoutting on here. I almost forgot to click on the arrow.
Ill tell you anything I damn well please, and if you just give me the chance ill tell it to your face.
Quit with the mommas basement jokes, its seriously @!$%#ing lame.
aww you need a friend? You really want to talk to me that bad huh? wow you must feel very strongly about them lion meat burgers.
One man's meat is another man's poison (trash/treasure, floor/ceiling).
Lion Burger. Wow. start making burgers out of everything. Lets have human burgers. I mean why not? Maybe some soda mixed in with a little bit of blood. Of course this was prob a Mexican who cooked this up. How about cooking a few babies for the march of dimes?
I hope you do not eat any meat at all, or even anything that has "lived". Oh wait everything is living before we eat it. There is absolutely no difference between eating vela, chicken, cows or any other wallking breathing beast. Get off your high horse (so we can cook them up).
Lions - really cool to see in the zoo, but even better with a salad and fries!
hahaha we got a troll here. PJ.....look, your a faggot. A living breathing (im assuming) mexican faggot. No reason to cook any animals and your just being an ass just to be an ass. Well Congrats man your an @!$%#. A worthless @!$%#. "Lions - really cool to see in the zoo, but even better with a salad and fries!" tee hee! Thats cute pj! whats a comic!
You must be a racist biggot - calling someone a faggot and mexican? How about we meet up somewhere so you can meet this so called "Faggot mexican". Maybe you will eat your words. If you would like to put your money where your mouth is, just simply respond and we will find a way. People like you think you can get on a blog and call names and threaten, but you would definitely not do it in person - please prove me wrong.
damn this fag is TOUGH! See, you came in here throwing around inflammatory comments so you get what you @!$%#ing deserve, trust me I wont be eating any words nor will I be putting any money in my mouth. Think your tough @!$%#? haha and luckily in America we can have all the free speech you want, and im letting you know exactly what I think of you, and people like you. I dont even have to know what you look like or who you are, I can just pick people like you out of a crowd. The way I see it is you dont have any remorse for murduring animals that really have no business being eaten, its really only to boost your own ego and to remind you that YOUR THE MASTER OF THIS WORLD AND ALL ANIMALS WILL BOW AT YOUR FEET. hahaha your a joke. What are you going to do? You going to also throw threats at me over the internet? haha your a tough guy PJ, a really respectable tough guy.
Sickofthis123, how do you know the cook was mexican? I like how you bring race into about every topic.
your right, I shouldnt bring that in, and i DONT know but gathering that it is in Arizona, an illegal hotspot....well...yeah...process of elimination
good detective work. Only 9% of arizona residents are illegal but let's just assume that the cook is an illegal mexican. Wow, the more comments you post the more ignorant you show yourself to be. You make it way to easy.
What a great cross-examination...in Phoenix alone its 41.5 percent Hispanic. That wasnt even that hard to find at all...your the one that actually makes this all easy. Im done here.
Did a grownup help you write that comment? ok, to shut you up, I concede defeat go run and tell your mommy. You have my permission to hang this comment on her refrigerator.
thats another good insult followed up with a half-ass yo mamma joke, sorry hommie, these forums just are not for you. Im glad you know when your too over your head
You're still on here? You weren't allowed out of the basement yet to play???
damn you jumoed the gun on me, I was just about to tell you i have all day to respond because im in my moms basement but you know me too well so you beat me to the punchline.
STILL cannot produce a good point. Just basement and childest mom comments. haha this is like shooting fish in a barrell. Hopefully the usda approves of eating Fish in a barrel so you can enjoy that too. Have you asked the almighty USDA?
shooting fish in a barrel? I thought you were against killing animals?? you're a hypocrite too?
well luckily its whats called a figure of speech, but your right, I should watch my language around degenerates and mongoloids such as yourself. You dont actually understand context. Sorry about that
Nice name calling, who helped you put this comment together? it's good to see hooked on phonics is working for you. There is hope for you yet
clicking the up arrow button to make yourself look like people are liking what you say is pethetic and laughable. what a joke.
STILL cannot stay on the issue
plus your supposed to be done...... #7.9
fool
No, fool I think you were (7.8) "I'm done here"
13.4? and also pay attention to the time and date stamp compared to the others.
NEXT
Per your comment on my profile: you want my email address or phone number? Are you going to ask me out on a date? Sorry, to break the news to you but I don't swing that way. So go wipe the drool away and get your faggity, 4 foot tall ass downstairs and clean up yo momma's basement!!! hehe
Yes, thats what I wanted. A date.
You're all idiots!
Yes, Mike brown, every single one of us.
Thats why we are the TOP of the food chain, nothing wrong with lion meat or any other meat. If you like it eat it, or as I prefer hunt it then eat it.
I have been hunting in africa four times now, have not bagged a lion yet but there is always next year. mmm mmmm good.
Maybe youll be the next murdered arizona rancher by illegals. Then they got them a big catch to hang on their wall!
sickofyou, what is your problem? don't you have anything better to do than start $^%@ with people over the internet? I think I know what kind of person you are. You were that chubby, shorter than the rest, antisocial kid who was the last one picked in gym class and never kissed a girl until his mid 20s. Now you live in your mom's basement and talk crap behind your computer because you never got any respect from anybody and never will since you wouldn't have the guts to say anything you type in person. Am I right?
yeah man you hit it on the head, im sitting in my moms basment right now, eating lettuce and I weigh 300 lbs and again, your right, I was the chubby kid that didnt get picked in high school...... Hahah oh yeah and trust me, if I could just get the chance to say any of this stuff to anyones face I would do it in a heartbeat, and I would look at them straight in the eye and tell them everything I want to say, AND ill back it up if they want to get physical. That good enough for you?
oh yeah and the only girl I kissed was my mom. Oh yeah and im 4 feet tall, and I never grew.
pff haha
too easy
Thats it?
well, what can I say? it's good to see you are opening up about your past, how ever pitiful it may be
This is really entertaining. See have you noticed how I dont personally attack you? Because I dont know what you look like or who you are! If I did I would be saying this all to your face!I mean of course I dont really live in my moms basement, jesus christ. Your insults are just @!$%#ing hilarious because you think your so right about it when its totally not the case!
Yeah, you're right you have never personally attacked me and the others on here by calling us retards, faggots among other things, I believe that. Just like I believe you would say the things your write on here to anyone's face. Don't try acting like you got a pair.
I got a pair for you right here. im calling just YOU a faggot, retard, mongoloid, whatever you want, oh and again, like before, give me the chance and ill say it to you
yeah, a pair ot tits!! lol. No, if I remember you called others the same thing too. Thanks for your lovely comment on my profile.
hahaha! lol! hhahaha!!! oh man!! haha!
That is disgusting! I hope people do protest at that restaurant! Aren't there enough poor animals killed already for all you carnivores out there?
What is the problem here? Just because lion meat is a little unusual shouldn't be a reason to criticize people. Ostrich meat is also unusual but can be found in many stores. I bought some lion meat several years ago (mostly out of curiosity). It was quite good. I've travelled many countries and tried many meats (humans are intelligent BECAUSE they eat meat--check it out if you don't believe it). Yum!
humans are intelligent because we eat meat? hahah what southern town are you from? What backwoods doctor told you that?
absolutely disgusting...when there are no more animals left what then?? and all you highly educated people should understand the word "racist" it makes me ashamed to call you fellow academics...i hope you don't have any influence on my children.
You have to be slightly whacked, maybe seriously whacked, to come up with this idea in a growing eco/environmental/animal rights era. I think this is a deliberate spit in the face from this guy to those who would object to it as a cruel publicity stunt.
In most places on earth there is no longer any reason to hunt for food, and hunting for sport will always be, for me, and I speak only for myself, a contemptible passtime. In Alaska they kill wolves, the natural predator of moose, in order to have more moose for people to hunt - for sport. For the thrill of killing a living thing. I understand hunting to survive but I don't understand the joy of killing for the hell of it. We don't need to eat lion meat. We raise all grades of beef to make burgers - all the way to Kobi. If you want to kill something, get a nice Kobi burger for a few hundred bucks. It may kill your budget but you'll save the ton of money you'd spend for the guns, ammo, trucks, helicopters, freezers, and frostbite.
100 percent agree
Tell all this to what_the_whatever81, little punks like him still have to get this concept
what about that I have the balls speech bull that you would have no problem telling me off in my face if you had the chance? (9.8)
You know what I think is funny? Ive got you so upset that you feel the need to always get the last word in. Means that im getting to you. haha, your so irritated that you are thinking of the dumbest things to say to me just to make you try and feel like you are winning whatever war is going on in your head. Thats cool, you can have all the last words you want, you rnot changing my mind, im not changing yours. but give me the chance to say this to your face, or to your ear, just give me the chance.
Oh I'm not upset at all, it's entertaining getting a special needs person like you all riled up. I'm just giving you what you deserve :)
oh and I see you referenced my insult. How original
Arizona should just pull out of the United States and become a Mexican possession. Lots of warped thinking there, maybe the sun fries the brain after a period of time??
At least PETA will be thankful for a new crusade.............
hahaha very true Bill, LOTS of warped thinking there. Unfortunatly, thats what they are secretly doing, slowly moving in and taking over. It looks like Arizona needs to do some chemo-therapy to get rid of all the cancer that is infecting them.
Screw PETA though, go for ASPCA or Mercy for Animals, something like that, not PETA whackos
Bill, if you think Arizona is screwed up, you must have never walked around in florida, most of the wierd news comes out of your state, you guys elected Jeb Bush, ever walk around in Miami?? I think you guys have a way worse track record than us. So some restaurant decided to serve legal lion meat? Because of how jacked up your state is, I think florida should be annexed by any carribean country that wants it. How does that feel?
Yeah all the news comes out of Florida, if I remember right about ALL the news lately has been about Arizona and all of one topic (the oil spill) has been about Florida, Jeb was a hot topic like 7 years ago but I think your a little behind than the rest of us.
Sickofthis, I'm not even talking to you. You don't even know where florida is. what are you doing on here still anyway? aren't you late for your kkk meeting?
Jeb Bush was an awesome governor and he made the State spark economically and times were just great. Jeb's rescue tactics in the hurricanes also saved hundereds of lives when we got hit with 4 in a row. Jeb is still hot topic here and we hope he runs for President....thanks for asking.
As for annexation of Florida, we already have spanish, haitians, and people from all over the carribean. We don't treat people like $hit asking them without cause to see ID. I am all for preventing illegals from entering and draining the financial resources but not profiling. Maybe they will profile people like you with a Flock of Seagulls hairdoo?? What are you putting together in Arizona? A F'ing NAZI party???
VH1 is probably having an 80's special tonight, stay in the past as you have no brains to live in the "new world".......
Haha. I agree with the Arizona thing!
Bill, the point I'm trying to make is don't blast other states without looking at the problems your state has. It doesn't seem like you know much about what's going on in AZ but I'll explain, although you may still not want to understand, I'll do it anyway. This new bill being introduced will give cops the right to ask someone of their legal status only after they had a reason to stop the individual whether it may be speeding, passing a red light, loitering in a prohibited area, etc. It also makes it illegal for illegal aliens to work, and harsher penalties for those that hire illegals. That's it! I know, it sounds soooo harsh!! Call the state Nazi all you want, at least this state is doing something about drug cartels running across the border.
...wait a second, florida has the same problem with drug cartels too...How quickly we forget.
81, The police will stop them only "after they have a reason". You must be kidding me?? It's called profiling, hey Bubba, that thar Mexican dropped a gum wrapper, let's check his legal status. Yeah boy, Im's up to 17 today less the 9 legal U.S. citizens I harrassed today. I really hope you get checked to get the point!!
Go ahead with it, when your AZ Nazi State checks people for having Blonde Hair and Blue eyes then you will get what you all deserve. They were jaywalking, yeah thats it, nab Hans and Fran.
Florida does an excellent job with drug runners using the coast guard. Your boarder is too long and you get no help. I read they will start using a drone, I doubt that will help except for documentation. Good Luck, Heil the AZ Republic!!!!!!!
oooohhhh! What_the_81 just told me to talk to the hand cause the face aint listenin! Dang you sure showed me,too bad you really cant even argue one good point
Sickofyou, I made my point. But what point have you made in this whole blog other than showing how mentally warped and confused you are? You have not made one point at all. I have an idea, stop commenting, leave that to the grownups who know how to read and aren't bigots like you.
ahhh another attempt to reverse everything....look.....go check out my posts, find out what im saying, then comment on here with your argument. I mean these little childish insults are just funny, they dont even make me mad, so please...keep them coming. I request more ya mamma jokes btw.
Lets take a look at the definition of a bigot since you like to use that word so much;
big·ot
a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.
when it comes to hurting a living thing for no reason, or for fun, or for what we think we "need" as food, such as a lion burger, and if your calling me a bigot is me being against these things and not tolerating anyone elses warped belief on the matter, the your God Da.mn fu.cking right im a bigot.
Ok, I will use grown up words this time. if you have a hard time, take a break, take a deep breath and take some tylenol or whatever you normally take when you get confused. People can eat and will eat whatever they want as long as the animal from where the meat is coming from is not endangered or prohibited. So you can act like the "enforcer" all you want or whatever makes you feel good about yourself. As far as hunting animals for game, people will continue to do so as long as it is legal. If hunting or eating animals becomes prohibited or illegal than that will be another issue. People will do things no matter how much you disagree with them, your beliefs won't change anything.
FINALLY! Some SUBSTANCE! unfortunatly your being a pussy, and hiding behind "laws". Its wrong to cause harm to living things for fun or for pleasure. Thats an unwritten moral law. Your just pissed off at me because I say hurting animals is wrong for some reason. Your small backwoods mind cannot comprehend that and youll go against me JUST to go against me, because thats what people like you do. Its ok, there are thousands of people that are starting to find out the benifits of not eating meat all the time, and medical science has proven that some meats are directly linked to cancer. Talking @!$%# to me wont even help you in the long run. My beliefs wont change you now, but eventually, after going to the law for help with this fails, then people become violent. The absolute bottom line, legal or not, its cruel and unusual to kill a lion of all things, just to taste the meat. Absolutly crazy, and wrong. Cow pig or lion, its all @!$%#ed up.
You can't make any good arguments without name calling? First off, I'm not going to descend to your level in that respect. I'm not like you, I don't look down on others for their opinions. Who do you think you are to say what's wrong or what's right? If people want to eat meat, they should be allowed to, if people want to kill an animal to wear its hide, go for it. Just as long as they do so according to the laws; there should be no other reason to kill or harm an animal. I personally will not kill an animal nor do i eat meat or fish but I don't impose on others who don't share the same beliefs as myself. If they get cancer eating meat?, so what, people buried their own graves to speak. If people get bad karma from wearing animal skin?, tough luck. That reminds me, there is a word for people like you that look down on others and harrass them for their beliefs, it's in the tip of my tongue.
Well, I can't think of the word. While you marinate on that, get outta yo momma's basement! and I will click on the arrow
Your whole paragraph there is full of contradictions. You really are a joke, but I know you gatta get your last word in so you can have it. Go ahead, hit me with another weak ass mommas basement jokes.
Wait, allow me to clarify....nevermind...do you get to stay cool in yo momma's basement????
I don't see what's wrong with eating lion burgers. We eat cow burgers, Sarah Palin eats moose burgers, and lots of people eat buffalo burgers. So, what's wrong with a lion burger - or a tiger burger for that matter? Pass the ketchup!
This is so stupid! I mean, really? Lion burgers? Humans are so weird! I'm not proud to be a part of the human race.
"I'm not proud to be a part of the human race."...as if you had a choice. Would you rather be a little bunny eating carrots and lettuce waiting for some evil human to come around and cut off your lucky foot. Quit your complaining...you sound like a spoiled brat! I love animals too and do not torture or disrespect nature and it's creatures, but I also love eating them...it's delicious! You are part of the problem, I say!
@ EddieTheKid (obviously a kid) We don't eat lion burgers because the population of lions has dropped 95% in the last 10 years. Can you say that about cows? And believe me in no way would I want to be compared to Sarah Painintheass. She gets her kicks killing wolves and thier pups. Or just leaving the pups to starve. Id get a better comparison if I were you and I wanted to lean someone to my side. Ill eat my veggies and be happy with that.
Relax protesters, there is enough Lion meat for every one to have a burger. Do they actually think a lion would say to itself, I'm not going to eat that guy right there because he is human and they have rights!! lol
Hey sickofwhatever- Watch Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern.
you will get an idea of what people eat around the world. bugs balls brains
I can understand eating weird things in poor undeveloped countries because they are the ignorant of the ignorant. I wouldnt even bother trying to reason with them, I would just change them. Here in America, I expect a little bit more civility and respect for the animals, but no. Thats why there is fat little weasles like Andrew Zimmerman. Honestly to me he makes us all look so bad in other countries. They must think all of us look like him, fat, rich, and little american snobbs.
How did this become racist and an Immigrant debate. this is about Lion burgers you retards!! Mexicans dont eat Lion meat you stupid rednecks!!!
Refer this comment to sickofthis123, who wrote such thoughtful comments like:
(5.4)"Your race was not made to think, just work."
(7)"Of course this was prob a Mexican who cooked this up"
(7.2)"your a faggot. A living breathing (im assuming) mexican faggot."
(9.1)"Maybe youll be the next murdered arizona rancher by illegals. Then they got them a big catch to hang on their wall!"
she seems to be the only one that brought race into this among other things, these are the types of low lifes we have to deal with.
haha
this is great
I love getting under peoples skin. What_the is really taken back by me, so she feels like she needs to follow up on everything to get the last word. I apologized for those joking comments. I will watch my attitude with that, thats the ONLy thing I have done wrong in here. Everything else is on what_the for just being a lunatic
Easy there lady, don't flatter yourself. like I said before I'm not taking any of this seriously, just giving you a taste of your own medication, I hope you enjoy!
Thanks?
Seriously, haven't we raped a pilage the earth enough? The question is... is this really necessary? Do we really feel the need to slaughter these beautiful animals to see how they taste? Give me a break. I hope you eaters of these magnificent beasts choke on the meat.
Who are we to evaluate the relative value of life? How is a lion more valuable or sacred than a cow? If you can bring yourself to eat beef that comes from cows often raised in deplorable conditions, why not eat lion meat that was raised humanely? In some cultures, eating beef is illegal. People are ignorant if they do not realize that their choice of meat is based in culture and not some purported moral certainty. OMG!
the human race is a pitiful example of a civilized population, we are barbaric and yet claim to be so superior, what a joke we have become its downright dismal to think of what we are evolving into. i'm glad i won't be here to see the end.....anybody ever watch soylent green..makes you think...
