Many strains of cannabis are actually bred to produce very little THC and focus on the production of hemp fiber, which is pretty useful for things that aren't eating your weight in nachos. So it's not all that stupid. The rest of those images make up for it, though.

True, but how many of the 420 crowd actually differentiate between the industrial use cannabis and marijuana?

The thing with the "Halal is evil" is that these people are idiots and entirely concerned with eating something associated with evil muslims. They don't actually give a poo poo if it's cruel or whatever, they just want a reason to call muslims backwards.

The Brambell Report on Farm Animal Welfare came out in the 1960's and has been used as a base for Canadian/UK legislature regarding Animal welfare ever since. (Although it desperately needs upgrading)


Aka this has no bearings on the method of killing, just that a Muslim did the killing.

Not a single thing you've quoted says that the animal needs to be conscious; not a single thing you've quoted says anything about Canada.

I'm a dummy, those are UK stats. Canada approves of non-conscious slaughter within strict circumstances: Canadian Meat Inspection Regulations 1990 (SOR/90-288), section 77

quote:

77. Despite section 79, every food animal that is ritually slaughtered in accordance with Judaic or Islamic law shall be restrained and slaughtered by means of a cut resulting in rapid, simultaneous and complete severance of the jugular veins and carotid arteries, in a manner that causes the animal to lose consciousness immediately.

Emphasis mine. This is the part that most slaughterhouses don't come up to par on, and therefore won't bother trying to produce kosher/halal products. It's drat hard to bleed something out quickly without contaminating drat near everything, even if you've done it hundreds of times a day. (Having personally cut a cow's neck and seen how these slaughter procedures are performed in person, it is quick but definitely more distressing than the alternative.)

I am Canadian and worked in a slaughterhouse for three years and we had imams come in once a month to do halal meat. I can't speak for larger animals but in the case of poultry, halal meat is way more humane because it is done slower and by hand which decreases the likelihood that the animal will go into a vat of scalding hot water while still conscious. Stunning the animal is only done to keep them from moving while a machine slits their throat and they are actually supposed to regain consciousness shortly after so they can flap their wings and bleed out quicker.

Halal meat is also way cleaner because the imam watches over it through the entire process and it doesn't use the same gross machinery or chlorinated water bath as everything else does.

The question I always like to ask is "How many children going to bed hungry are you okay with? How many children would you let starve to catch one person gaming the system?" It's a completely loaded question, but it's made a shithead or two reevaluate how they feel about this.

I like how many assumptions that makes, as if every single person on welfare just stuffs their fridge with more food than they could ever and and it's literally impossible that you could have a situation like 6 people on food stamps all sharing a house and keeping their food in the same kitchen. Like when I was a taxpayer living alone my refrigerator looked like the one on the right but not because I was hungry, I just didn't keep much food in the apartment because I, you know, lived alone.

But it is required to be labeled Halal if it is Halal.....

But the rule of the meat industry is that you can always downgrade, so Halal meat can be downgraded to non-Halal meat simply by not marketing it as Halal

After reading Zergfluid's posts in the E/N virgin thread, I decided to look up exactly what a red piller was, since I didn't know it was specifically about women.

I found a pretty good article about it.

Yep. Dylan Love wrote this piece to get pussy. Not because it's a bazaar internet subculture or a completely baffling view of women to most heterosexual men. :rolleyes: Do I even need to say it's also crazy to most women?

I'm guessing they are gendered because she is being called them.

Anyway, she's the girl who was calling for the Colbert Report to be shut down over that "ching wong ding dong" or whatever joke that was satirizing the Redskins controversy. She also told a Huffington Post reporter that he's basically not allowed to have opinions of race/gender because he's a white man.

She's Suey Park, an "activist" best known for getting incredibly pissy at Stephen Colbert

A couple guys from the Huffington Post did an interview with her. She literally goes "as a white man, you can't comment on this issue" and "I'm not going to educate you."

For someone who claims to be against racism and sexism, she sure likes to use 'white' and 'male' as a pejorative. I mean, not that I think she is actually for equality, she is just feeding her fragile ego (I'm sure that's a gendered insult that means she is fat).

She is the strawman people think of when talking about SJWs and turbo-rabid feminists.

The best part about this is that she turned the the focus off of the lovely Redskins memorial and basically absolved them of all wrong doing with that lovely name.
