    Well durr Peta didn't like it. All life is precious to them, you know. That's why they have all those no-kill shelters set up... oh wait.
    Anyway, the point is, you can't expect them to make exceptions with their reputation, not even for bugs.

    reputation. Look at their history. I don't think they really give a shit about their rep at this point.

    PETA.
    We don't condemn President Obama for acting on instinct. When the media began contacting us in droves for a statement, we obliged, simply by saying that the president isn't the Buddha and shouldn't be expected to do everything right—if not for that, we would not have brought it up. It's the media who are making a big deal about the fly swat—not PETA.
    However, we took the opportunity, when asked, to point out that we do offer lots of ways in which to control insects of all kinds without harming them, including the humane bug catcher we sent President Obama.

    I don't swat flies...I see people going cazy about a little thing like a fly - now a president - and think to myself: Why. Why go so ape. It is only a little fly. I wouldn't go so far as a a humane bug catcher, however.

    Wha? :confused:

    All I'm saying is, there are hate crimes and other extreme behavior out there. But it's relatively rare, and to dedicate your whole life to such a minute portion of the population as though they were some constant and growing threat seems loserish to me.

    Is all...

    The extreme right does the same with liberals. Ooooooooo. Those people with loose mores, they are going to unhinge the fabric of society and there will be bloody orgies in the parks.

    Ooooo the communists. Ooooooooo the terrorists. Ooooo the swine flu.

    It's like people can't live without ghosts to fear and demonize.

    With the economy on the brink of collapse and most of the rightwing extremists already living on the raggedy edge of financial ruin - expect to see a rise in hate related crimes [​IMG]

    well I definatly agree with this part. The American mainstream media uses fear to:
    - project opinions for the gain of money
    - create biased voters
    - sell, sell, sell
    - get better ratings (tv ratings: the biggest fucking joke since the invention of the whoopie cushion)
    - scare people into living quiet, reserved lives and keep them down so they don't ask questions, ask more from their country and politicians.

    Ooooh yes, they do. They're publicity whores. They've said so themselves, but it's all the in name of animal superiority- erm equality...
    They'd be happy as hell to have their name attached to a terrorist attack on a farmer (but they can't, knowing they would be shut down by the government), because it would be to advance animal rights, but you won't catch them endorsing bug spray. Because animal rights are everything. A person's right for their family not to be terrorized is small beans to them, because they think it will get them results.
    Remember when their spokesperson named Andrew Cunanan their pick for man of the year for killing Gianni Versace and getting him to "stop doing fur"?
    They make sure to go to extraordinary lengths so that people know exactly where they stand on these issues, and it's obvious that human rights are at the bottom of their priority list.

    I'm not surprised such a thing exists... Would I use one? Probably not. Would I buy one and place it in a glass case with the hand buzzer and the rubber chicken? Possibly.
    I don't swat flies, either. Mosquitoes, though... Those little bastards are another story. They are anything but harmless.
