VitalSigns posted:Obama called out CNN for their scaremongering at the Press Correspondents' Dinner, that was pretty great. Honestly a lot of politics, especially those on conservative siding issues, depend heavily on the average voter having no memory or understanding of the past. All that matters is just how irrationally angry or fearful you can get them right before the election time. Given that most voters just vote along party lines, it's depressingly effective.

They're dancing with peppers, she probably put some in her eyes.  The little girl is America, the peppers are DEBT, and the mother is Obama.

This is actually very true, but lmao at it coming from vegan artbook lady, the most vocal evangelical vegan. You have no idea how often an exchange happens like this: "hey do you want to go to this bbq place for lunch?" "Oh no thanks, I'd go somewhere else though, I uh, don't eat meat." And then the other guy acts like I just handed him a PETA pamphlet and proceeds to act all defensive about eating meat, goddamn dude all I said is i don't eat it. I avoid using the v-word at all costs because that makes it 10x worse. But the irony of this comic coming from who i can only imagine is the most obnoxious vegan of all time irl... RyokoTK posted:I like that the vegan dude is super ripped and the vegan lady has huge tits, as if every vegan ever isn't super frail and skinny. People have already pointed out that you're an idiot, but take it from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who a week ago said many of his best body builder buds have been vegetarian or vegan.

This is from 10 pages ago, but I wanted to say that I've been reading this thread for years and this is the first time I've laughed at a cartoon.

Are we over the anal rape thing? Because when I looked at the first cartoon, I said to myself "nah, that can't be what he means by back door, this is just goons being goons and reading into things." But then there were anal cartoon ouchie stars and I'm really not over that.

If you thought Muir meant something other than buttsex when he said "back door" you clearly don't read DbD often That said though the "rape" part was really harder to get over than the "anal" part IMO

I am not over the cartoon man raping his cartoon wife while it is explained that since she is a liberal and reads 50 Shades she secretly wants it no matter what she says.

Part of me is hoping that those DbD characters had a safeword established beforehand that isn't the word "stop" but this is DbD and he used rape as a metaphor for why you shouldn't have gun control.

Again: a straightforward reading of the text suggests that a man has raped his wife, anally without lube or foreplay, as punishment for her voicing opinions about gun control that conflict with his, and this is portrayed as Right And Good

I'm so inured to Muir being a shithead that the one thing I noticed about the cartoon is that Jan says "pain in the... rear end." like she was fishing for a euphemism but hosed it up because Muir is hella incompetent at what he does.

You're right, of course. I don't know what's to be done. I'm complaining about things simply because they happened without offering any solution or even direction toward amelioration. Oh God I've become a ptoon.

 Rogers really does have a thing about our stupid alcohol laws, I mean when I was in UT with the Americorps this year they less stupid alcohol laws, loving Utah!  Also that vegan comic guy makes me want to find the person who draws/writes those comics and eat a burger and talk about how much I love eating animals; I mean there is no way I could argue with a person that ingrained in their thinking might as well Double Down.

Like if your uncle says "friend of the family" at Thanksgiving. You know he's too far gone and too crazy to say anything too. You just give a 'wtf?' glance to your cousin and eat some more turkey and hope the conversation moves on to something else. Though most conversations around the dining room table on Thanksgiving have been kinda boring. I don't want to hear about my aunt's hysterectomy. Maybe I'll ask my uncle who's a better leader Obama or Putin?

I don't get why people being vegetarian is seen as an attack by so many people. Yeah, that chick is crazy, but like every comic ITT she is at least something of a minority

Because the majority reason for being vegetarian - and more importantly vegan - is the moral one, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever looking at the history of our species, which means the odds are any given vegetarian is a nutcase. You can get squeamish about things your ancestors had to do for millennia, but that doesn't mean goons won't make fun of you for it. There's no less reason to make fun of vegetarians than there is to make fun of people eating soylent.

There are plenty of people who don't eat meat for religious, health, or just taste reasons. Not everyone is a psycho. I am not vegetarian, but it seems a bit extreme to say that people eating veggies and people eating nutrient paste are the same.

Moral arguments can be made irrelevant by people doing other things in the past, all moral systems disproved overnight. First off, we have the luxury to not do a lot of things now that our ancestors had to do for millennia, and second, necessity is not inherently moral one way or another. Literally saying that you enjoy the thought that things had to die to make your meal is a better argument because at least then you have an argument, and can make a case that the happiness of a more intelligent being matters more by enough to make it worth it.

Dude I'm the one posting the Vegan Comix to mock and you're just being an rear end in a top hat. I want it clarified: I don't care what you eat. I care when people make strawmen characters and spout off bad science to try and justify their beliefs. If you wanna say 'I'm a vegetarian because I personally find meat disgusting' then cool! That's fine. I for one cannot stand swiss cheese because to me, it smells like sweaty socks and tastes about the same. If you wanna say 'I'm a vegetarian and therefore better than you loving evil 'Carnists'' then we're gonna have disagreements. E-Tank fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Any time you patronize a business that doesn't exclusively employ vegans, you are complicit in giving people money to buy torture meat, so there's no non-symbolic point in simply living vegan.

Gonna trot this one out here again because it's just so  that it needs to be re-visited. Yes. The same person who has with no hint of self awareness basically implied that all meat eaters are evil carnists who revel in the slaughter that went into their food. . . Wants you to know that you shouldn't be a butt about being Vegan.
