More filthy posts, please!

The only thing I do object to about this article: the position that man is in is VERY bad for his back, especially if he's in for an extended session. I recommend a zero-gravity chair.

Who called anyone barbaric?

But the argument that "animals eat animals" as an ethical justification for humans to eat meat -- because it's "natural" -- sounds as goofy to me as saying that eating our babies is an ethical choice because spiders do it.

"...actually, the animals are 0/5 human. On account of them being not humans and all."

LOL. Looks like you missed the context of what I suggested: that perhaps animals only COUNT as a fraction of a member of the "biotic community" (to the arguer that producing meat foods "is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.") not that animals ARE partially human. :)

I don't consider that the enslavement, torture or killing of non-human animals is equivalent to doing so to humans, but I also don't consider that it tends to preserve the integrity, stability or beauty of our biotic community when we do it to ANY of the creatures we share the planet with. That's why I remain unconvinced and unmoved by the essay, as long as the vast majority of meat foods are produced by factory farming.

I'm not convinced or even moved by this argument, which implies that it's possible to have integrity, stability and beauty AND kill some sentient members of the community so that others may eat them. Unless one doesn't believe that animals are full members of the community, of course. Perhaps an animal only counts as 3/5 of a human?

I had the same pretty pretty princess "french provincial" furniture when I was a tiny princess -- including the pink canopy bed. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

When my boyfriend and I up and moved to Portugal, we had a big party and invited everyone we'd ever met, told them our plan, and said, "Everything - Five Dollars." It worked out really well, because of course we accepted far less than $5 for itty-bitty things, but people wanted to give us more as a kind of support for our move, and the car went for substantially more than five bucks. But it was FUN! It was a hoot, in fact, and we cleaned up and totally cleaned out. We dressed up in our goofiest clothes and hats and sold them right off of our backs. We also had a Safe Sex Booth that made a lot of money. For fifty cents, you'd come to the booth and either I or BF (depending on preference) would shake your hand and say, "Let's wait awhile."

A whole book all about pudding!?! I can't wait for the movie version!

Looks like there's a catch - it costs $7-$8 per disk for the replacement, which makes this a somewhat less valuable offer.

I got my beautiful, handmade platform bed, headboard and nightstands from craigslist -- the FREE section. $0 dollars for that. Recently I bought a gorgeous, elegant big mirror (55"x40") for the space above my sofa -- $39. A similar gold one for my dining area: $50. And rather than renting a big table for Thanksgiving, I found a nice expandable (Ikea Bjursta) expandable plus four chairs on craigslist for $45, that breaks down for easy storage. I love craigslist!
