I had the most amazing turkey in the world :) It was stuffed with delicious. Hope everyone else had fun as well and survived family!

You Americans do it at the wrong time of year.  Anyway...





Killing animals sucks.

if god had not wanted us to eat animals, he would not have made them YUMMY

[LigH]

There is still a tradition than did not yet swap much into Germany?! ... I guess I would probably prefer this kind of turkey over that from the last soccer game agains Switzerland.

Well, then - hope you had some fun.

Know what else is yummy?  Coke and premaritial sex. Mmm-mmm hedonistic goodness.

If a creator had wanted us to eat animals, he would not have given them emotions.  Even then, the way animals are raised and slaughtered for consumption is completely unethical.

Not that I want to get into you silly people\'s argument, but I find this logic funny. If creator didn\'t want anything to suffer, the world would be completely different.
However, if he did want us to eat animals, he would make us carnivorous or omnivorous. Oh wait, he did! (that is if we assume there is such thing as creator :P)
You silly person you xD


Now back on topic (somewhat),
I ate the bird only once, a bit... On the new year\'s party at my friend\'s place :<
Nothing special about it, tastes like simple chicken to me...

Actually, humans are not designed to be carnivorous.  Our bodies don\'t do a very good job of digesting meat, and our teeth aren\'t well suited to such a diet either PROVING that if we were designed by a creator, we were not designed to have a diet with much meat in it.  In fact, our teeth, intestinal tract, digestive organs and enzymes are more for a fruit-eater like apes and monkeys who eat mostly fruits and vegetable matter, with a very small amount of meat supplimenting their diet.

The whole \"we\'re built to be carnivores\" argument is a myth.

[steuben]

ain\'t too well built to be fruit eaters either. the human body is the best of all diets and the worst of all diets.

Classic.


A point of clarification:  I\'m vegetarian and I promote a vegetarian diet.  I do NOT however think that people who consume meat are, to quote, \"evil [bleep]s\".

[koolerking]

An environmentalist shpeel. Fantastic. I won\'t say anything however, as I\'m still new and dis-respected. But if you intend to talk about the \'creator\' I suggest you pick up that scary book that\'s all about him, and speak from an educated point of view next time.

[Keyaz]

we eat animals because we desire to, sometimes its just to survive, other times it\'s because of an aquired taste for their meat.

Imagine a turkey was actually a carnivore, and bigger then you, and hungry, like hell it\'s gonna stop to think about your feelings before it tears the flesh from your bones, it wants good eats : |

I really don\'t mind peoples points of views, what they think is right and wrong etcetera, thats fine for them, but as soon as they start pushing ito n other people, that is crossing the line for me.

anyways, celebrations to those celbrating o/

[Xordan]

umm... what\'s thanksgiving for anyway?? We kinda don\'t celebrate it in the UK... we have bonfire night instead this time of year Burning \'guys\' and letting off large amounts of gunpowder while eating burgers and hotdogs sounds much more fun.

If I remember right, it was a really american festival, settlers thanking the natives for food in the autumn (saw that in a report about cranberries).
