    Well, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble, don’t unveil the world’s most useless fucking sign. They deserve to be a meme.

    Yeah... a message of peace? Super lame.

    Don't they know promoting hatred and violence is what all the cool kids are into now?

    And what impact do you think that had? Real impact. Nothing? Is that what you guessed? Because you’re right!

    I do wonder what kind of sign would be 'useful', though.

    For anybody also having a hard time reading that partially folded flag, or finding the text within the 1000 words article, it's this:

    "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace"

    Agreed with the other comment, that's the most useless sign ever.

    Even more useless was celebrating their engagement that way. My wife and I just posted about it on Facebook and went out for burgers or something.

    yeah i remember how shocked i was recently when i told somebody "the farmers don't grow food, the plants grow food". and they responded with "yeah but that's their fate. plants literally exist to be eaten" and i was like "what if you said that about people? some people literally exist to be enslaved?"

    point is, we treat nature with no respect about how it feels. this goes for plants but also other animals. it's quite weird if you think about it. anyways, this discussion is getting weird.

    May I point you towards Friendly Carnivore

    Plants can't run away so they defend themselves with chemical warfare. Most of us can detoxify a lot of the common food plants, but some of the accumulated toxins get most people in the end — a lot of the diseases of aging are effects of the poisons plants use

    At the lowest end they block nutrient absorption like tea blocks iron

    As you say, the more you know the less good they seem

    If you're intolerant of some of the common food plants (for me it's wheat and cocoa. Apparently my ancestors didn't have wheat until 6000 years ago, and cocoa came with the Colombian exchange so no surprise many of British stock can't handle all of those plants' attacks

    No beef complains before the captive bolt gun turns the brain off forever

    They are protected from other predators which would give them a much more painful death

    ...I'm not a vegan but wow. Cattle live a whole life of horror. Pretending that eating meat is more moral than than eating plants because they suffer less is plain deliusion.

    Not true: many plants (such as nuts and fruits) demand to be eaten, and some literally cannot continue to grow unless they pass through an animal's digestive tract first.

    What they want is different than what you want.

    The plants want the fruit to be eaten by a specific animal. Human beings do not have any such symbiotic relationship with any plant I know of. You'd get very sick, for example, if you ate a Cassowary Plum.

    Ok I might be biased because I eat plants every day but I think it doesn't matter weather plant wanted specific animal to eat it's fruits and all. The only reason they wanted that was because that increased likelihood of reproduction and we take care of that on an industrial scale better* than those animals could ever do. Sure we are also destroying the earth and making it harder for all living creatures so maybe plants were right....

    So are all plants and animals other than humans.

    Nothing in nature is getting married before having kids except us.

My vehicle is undergoing maximum hydrodynamic pressure right now baby! Pop! A new MaxQ baby comes out.
