  Re: Why is cockfighting bad? (was: Pokemon (was: Harry Potter Lego Line))
 
(...) I admit that I was a little more sharp-tongued than the situation justified, and if so I certainly apologize. I was reacting to "Bzzzt. Wrong answer" more than anything else, which has always struck me as an attempt to belittle the opposing (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Flesh eaters stole my brain (was Re: Why is cockfighting bad?
 
This debate has been churning along (very) nicely (and quite civilly, as these go, I think the same old players are getting better at debating nicely) without too much input from me since I ducked and ran (:-) but one nugget here got me to thinking.

  Re: Flesh eaters stole my brain (was Re: Why is cockfighting bad?
 
(...) C'mon Lar--don't cloud the issue with a call for facts! Actually, I'll have to recheck my info. Maybe it *was* earthworms, and they're not half as crunchy as insects. To digress re: Ant Weight, here are a few tidbits I came across: from (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Why is cockfighting bad? (was: Pokemon (was: Harry Potter Lego Line))
 
(...) Cool, thanks. (...) My primary criterion is pain. There is a bunch of more aesthetic than logical stuff coloring what I think is OK to eat, but pain is the big thing. And do you mean that the animal lucked into mobility or thought? Either way, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Flesh eaters stole my brain (was Re: Why is cockfighting bad?
 
(...) What friends? ;-) (...) anything (...) I don't mind if you eat meat from vats. As I said, I might even do so a bit to try it out. I find myself very rarely wanting sausage or bacon. (...) Yup. (...) Let the technology and the market worry (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Why is cockfighting bad? (was: Pokemon (was: Harry Potter Lego Line))
 
(...) I'm not sure why I thought that--it seemed likely that you'd object on some grounds, but given what you said later in the post, I suppose it *is* a consistent assertion. (...) As a matter of fact, I'm floating disembodied in a tank and (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Wow, cool. A real brain? I didn't think anyone was relying on flesh bits anymore. I'm an electronic simulation loaded on 300 computers all heading away from earth at .96C. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Chris (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Yeah, I'm old fashioned that way. (...) What are you talking about? I got your reply before I even posted! Dave! (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Flesh eaters stole my brain (was Re: Why is cockfighting bad?
 
(...) Here's an odd twist to think about: most (all?) domesticated animals, especially farm animals, are sufficiently different from their wild bretheren that they can be considered separate species. Also, if we can raise meat in a vat, we can (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Flesh eaters stole my brain (was Re: Why is cockfighting bad?
 
(...) Is that really true? Cows can breed with bison, so it's hard to imagine that they can't breed with their forebears. (Don't they come from European water buffalos or something?) I also recal a story from somewhere, maybe a class, where some (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
