Make the Connection

The people that don't know about this documentary are excused.

The people that know about it and refuse to see it, or the people that watch it and don't care are the ones that are a waste of air and resources.

Well.. If I can get it on DVD, I'll definitely watch it. Until then, I'm watching my back!

You can watch it free if you click that link. They stream it on their website so the word can be spread.

People that only see it as a commercial opportunity would see them as insane for doing so.

Oh yes. You sure showed him. Way to assert your civil liberties while you still can.

Let me get this straight... you refuse to inform yourself of what is happening in the world because of the title of a thread on a web site? You know, there are only two entities whom that hurts: Yourself and the victims portrayed in this documentary.

WOW! You must be omniscient. You have no idea what I have read/viewed or understand. I am no follower who does just what I'm told to do. I am 100% sure that I am far more educated than you, not only about the subject of animal abuse, but just about any topic you can come up with.

Check yourself.

You are a speciesist. Speciesism is what allows racism and sexism to continue to this day. All of them have one thing in common: One entity asserting it's power over another.

If everyone had the ability to feel compassion for animals the way they do for humans, then speciesism would not exist. If speciesism did not exist, racism and sexism would not either because man would learn to respect all living things, whether they be more or less powerful or intelligent than themselves.

In essence, it is because of speciesism exists that the atrocities committed against humans by other humans exists. It all simplifies to one entity asserting their power over another. Whether it be humans killing whales, or humans killing humans, both are the same.

You see human against human violence as the main issue. I see human against animal violence as the main issue. But until society as a whole learns to understand, accept, and respect all forms of life as equals, we will all continue to be faced with the problems we see as the main issue.

And who again in this thread is the pompous ass?

Just out of spite, I am not going to bother responding to the context of your post. It would be a waste of my time and would only feed your obviously over-inflated ego.

Your not just speaking your mind. Your telling OTHERS what to do. I'm all for speaking your mind (if you have a mind to begin with). Once again, read your initial post and the tone you are delivering.

I see your only point now is to perpetuate a flame war. Why else would you resort to personally attacking people?

reply to post by PETROLCOIN


Not me. I'm only comment about how I stack up against you. You jumped in on my comment to the OP, please read through ALL my post on this topic. I've read your post and it's very apparent to me your lack of education.

reply to post by Modern Americana


Please tell me who I attacked? I have responded to others.

reply to post by amc621


It is very apparent to me you are simply trolling and derailing this thread.

You can believe what you want about my intelligence. I honestly do not care.

I'm going to give all your posts a star. Not because I agree with you, but because I don't want you to feel left out.

I believe that is enough for a moderator to erase your post in place of a T&C Violation banner.

Check yourself.

Ptrol,
Did you or did you not jump in on my response to the original OP and call me blind? Before I said anything to you?

I am not going to watch it. I don't have time...and when I do have time...I'll be doing other things....like play with my kids. I read the summary of it...doesn't sound interesting to me right now.

So do you think I deserve to die? Because I don't want to watch a movie that you have deemed necessary to continue on with my own life?

Thanks OP, it is truly the best documentary about this subject and very disturbing to watch. I had seen it about 2 years ago and became a vegetarian for about 6 months after. Unfortunately it didn't last but that movie has changed my life. It's required viewing for sure.

reply to post by amc621


Yes I did. Your posts show a lack of an informed opinion on the subject matter. Therefore you represent yourself as blind to the truth.

Now would you like to debate the topic at hand or continue your trolling?

reply to post by Modern Americana


Wow...that was a harsh OP

I think most educated people are aware of the cruelties against animals, and we do not support them.

We also don't support being spoken to in such a manner. No one is saying you shouldn't have this cause, that you shouldn't put out the word. We just would like a little respect when the message is being delivered. You turned me off to the doc. And it's rather hard to turn me off to Pheonix film of any sorts. I'm sure I'll catch it on a DVD at some point.

Cool your jets a bit man. You catch more flies with honey and all that jazz

My first comment about "if you have a mind" was a generalization. But if you see your a fit for that then so be it. As for the second comment I never said the poster was stupid or dumb, just that they are not on the same intellectual level as myself. Really that's not a insult.

That poster jumped on me and said I was blind, without any provaction from me. Just because I said I would not watch your video because YOU said so. Once again, I'm a active member in the local SPCA and Labrador rescue, among other charities. What makes you, or anyone for that matter, feel the need to tell others to do somehting or die????

Once again I'm not attacking. That would mean I've started something, while I've only reacted.

Aren't you answering your own first question with your sarcastic second question?

If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. And if you aren't going to watch it, don't bother posting in this thread. All you are doing is trolling by attacking the title rather than the context of the post and the subject at hand.
