The Hofoid House of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VII

Edit: since it's the same person, and same thread, I'll just post both on one. Gotta love Animal Rights folks.

This is a complicated issue, way more complicated than the "omg, you should never ever hunt an elephant" people could possibly understand...but I don't care enough to get into some big thing so I'll just leave this here.

not all elephant hunting is a horrible thing

Elephants are sentients.

If there's a death penalty in a country, people who kill elephants should be EXECUTED.

So are pigs and cows.  Your turn.

Elephants, whales, dolphins, some breeds of dogs and cats, crows and magpies, some octopuses and squid species, the great apes, and a few others have been scientifically documented to think and feel similar to humans. They should have personhood legally recognized in every country (as it already is in some countries). Killing these animals should be murder. Once lab-grown meat is cheap, healthy, and tastes good enough, then all meat from killed animals should be banned, and people who kill them should be severely punished. How we treat some farm animals now is inhumane, and the people who organize and operate those sites should be prosecuted. Not fined, jailed.

Rockefeller Republicans, with Reagan Republicans a distant second.  I despise Trump Republicans, which are only Democrats in disguise.

Mueller has enough evidence to prove the 2017 Seychelles meeting between Erik Prince and the Putin officials was to establish a backchannel between the Trump Whitehouse and the Kremlin.

That is worthy of a Nuclear Elmo.

I'm sure the Republican party, Fox News, and the other blue avatar morons on this board will find a way to spin this away too.

I believe Kennedy used an ABC News reporter for a back channel with the Russians during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I'm not a PETA fan. And this isn't propaganda, it's called having a belief.

If an elephant is old... let it live out its days, elephants can live a long time.
If an animal is sick... administer medicine.
As for "unfit for mating"... who determines that? Why should we determine that?
As for aggressive, then tranquilize and move the elephant farther away from anyone it's been acting aggressive towards, if trying to eliminate the source of the aggression doesn't work.

Using animal parts at all is disgusting, and we shouldn't encourage demand for them.

You may not be a PETA fan, but your points are just as misinformed and crazy as their average supporter.

It's all fine and dandy if you want to live in vegan fantasyland, but your approach is not practical in the real world, especially in countries where elephant hunting takes place.

1. I'm not vegan

2. How is NO ELEPHANT HUNTING "not practical in the real world"

The use of animal parts (such as the meat and hides) benefits the communities that receive them in exchange for trophy hunting, especially in poor communities in the countries where elephant hunting (and other trophy hunting) takes place. Same goes for dealing with aggressive or sick animals in a herd. It's not always as simple as "move them" or "give them medicine".

And we should sanction any country that uses Elephant hides and meat (as well as other human-level sentient creatures, like the ones I've mentioned) and treat it like the slave trade.

Is Kennedy more liberal then Polis? If so - nothing unusual: conventions are dominated by "activists", and tend to favor the most radical candidates: left in Democratic case, right - in Republican.

I don't see how that's absurd or ignorant, he's right.

The only thing absurd or ignorant in it is the grammar.

Forgive English, he is Russia.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Russians seem to claim a lot of knowledge and insight into democracy and its party systems despite never having lived in one.

Yawn what he did wasn't even a big deal in the first place, and let's be clear on one thing: he has not been accused of sexual assault. He has been accused of harassment, which is different.

Kihuen is a pretty good rep all things considered but if Dems want to risk a safe seat for party purity then shrug

And no, if he runs he is not losing a primary lmao. This is because he will only run if he determines that he has the support of enough of the establishment mr to run a serious risk. If that happens, he will not get primary'd from the left.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

What in the world is going on with Stabenow and especially Peters?? Michigan Democrats really suck lately.

Calm down. From a Democratic Perspective, Schumer and Durbin have done an excellent job keeping their members in line during this administration. Democrats stood in lockstep against all versions of TrumpCare and Tax Reform. Democrats displayed remarkable unity on the unsuccessful attempts to provide a huge boost to defense spending, ban abortion after 20 weeks, and crack down on sanctuary cities and legal immigration. Democrats also voted in near-lockstep to shut down the government for DACA, which did ultimately result in forcing the Republicans to have to actually vote down Senator King's immigration bill on the floor, and have made the confirmation process difficult for many nominees to the administration and the courts. The fact that this bill is passing with north of 65 votes despite the strong opposition of Schumer and Durbin just goes to show how excellent of a bill it is.

Everyone agrees that transgendered people should be treated respectfully and so on but it's quite literally not true that "trans women are women" and it doesn't make any sense to pretend it's so. Why is this a woke mantra?

It's literally insulting to the non-white people and women who carry the Democratic Party that they would nominate two white men in order to satisfy a demographic they lose by 30 points.

It's much more insulting when the working class is mocked and forgotten about by a party that pretends to care about minorities when they are more importantly looking for champagne liberals in Orange County and using minorities as cover to do it.

Tell that to the Third Way mealymouths who spout off "business-friendly solutions", "right-to-work", and "the future of the Democratic Party is in the country clubs of Dallas".

Using 100% fabricated quotes that get literally one hit on Google, that being that post itself is bad.

[Skunk]

Rooting for Polis. We need more gay politicians in power.

We’ve had plenty of gay politicians. Larry Craig, Dennis Hastert, Ed Murray, etc

The idea that Iran is some sort of strict Islamic theocracy is a myth that the neocon's have been perpetrating since the Carter administration. In reality, Iran is really just a flawed democracy with a slightly theocratic bent. In Iran, transpeople are free to live their lives openly and freely, and are able to transition if they so choose. In ISIS held territory, they are flat out killed.

In many ways, Syria and Iran are more western than they are given credit for.

I thought the title was going to be Toy's R Us to stop selling plastic replica AR-15 rifles.

Anyway, great news. In Perth, this store is an abomination. My ex-wife bought a cheap Chinese toy for my boys birthday. It was dangerous and ultimately banned from sale in WA.

But that did not stop TRU from denying a refund, which they reneged on when I got my local member for Parliament to investigate their cheap Chinese import practices of unsafe toys.

So now, when I have a spare 2 hours to kill, I take my three boys to TRU and let them run loose until they have essentially destroyed half the store, then I buy $30 worth of stuff, and let the moronic staff clean it up.

Remember, secret tip: children love packaging, not the toys. When in a toy store, they fall in love. But when you get home, they stop playing with the toy after about 4 minutes.

Obama really did a number on people's view on how fast people can rise through the political ladder. There's not going to be another Obama, at least for a very long time, so its useless to project someone like this as VP.

Obama, Sanders, and Trump ALL did a number on people's view of what kinds of candidates could rise to the top of presidential politics. The only thing they all had in common is, they were all running against Hillary Clinton (and people don't believe me when I say that without Sanders, Martin O'Malley would have been a juggernaut). My view is that it's deep-seated misogyny.

Un-hijabed woman who is willing to have pre-martial sex with a non-Muslim.

Weird how they would pick such an atypical Muslim to conduct sensitivity training.

Kind of like if sensitivity training was conducted by David Clarke.

I've spent a little time in both, humans are not supposed to live (at least in any great numbers) where Phoenix is.  The environmental costs of people living where people shouldn't live is crazy, and it's expensive in coin too but that's less important because the people living there are paying for it more than I am....but we all get to suffer the environmental degradation.

Yes, people that care about the environment and live in places not suited for humans (ya know, like southern California) are assholes.  Passing laws making plastic bags illegal and watering your grass makes you stupid too.


so Pit, easy as hell.

who even cares about the environment?

[Blair]

The party desperately needs a nominee form the Heartland, nominating someone from Cali just reinforces the coastal elite image the party has.

That seems unfair to the coasts.

Coastals are not as important on the list of Americans to help and get votes from rn.

How silly of me. I forgot we weren't real Americans, and that catering to the heartland is just fine, but when it's to us, then it's identity politics. Even though the majority of Americans live in a coastal state.

That's not the point and you know it. Middle America has bigger problems rn than you guys, and your votes are already there for dems, especially in the west coast. So it is time to focus on middle America.
