Whoa, Wade. You mean me? I don't recall saying "rape is fun", and if I remember right, he said "rape feels good". I cannot speak for 'psypher', but I am positive that *I* did not compare carnivores to rapists. If it's that confusing, I'll break it down even further:
There are extreme and *bad* measures people take in order to achieve self-satisfaction. I'm not going to argue about which form of suffering is more valid, on the grounds that it would be a stupid argument. I would agree that rape is mainly about power, but look at it this way:
rape for the purpose of sex = inhumane slaughter for the purpose of food
That's all I said! Those are two fundamentally *good*

What do you mean by "excuse" the word? I don't understand.
And I'm still downright pissed that Charlton Heston won't give me back my sacred knockwurst or return my phone calls.
I wish everyone would take a blue Chill Pill. That is what we need. Or Nitrous Oxide for the whole of CoV. I don't see what the big deal is if someone screws up your name. Between my real name, my 'net alias and various variations, I get called about a hundred different things. I think having your co-workers lovingly refer to you as "Krusty" is a blessing of humility. Not to mention my retro pet-nick "Cookie". And I also don't see how it was necessary for that "pop quiz#14" to escalate into a incomprehensible flame circus. Folks, settle like the dust on the hinges of Brett's negated fruit cart.
