wtf... in the U.S., women already have more rights than men do. the laws are already anti-male and rape is whatever a woman says it is. and you're gonna try to put it on the same level as murder?
Yea, rapists need to be punished, but for the same degree as murder is too much. Unless it was the violent type of rape. Did you guys see the news long ago about some frat guy who had some girl just pop into his room drunk, rode him, woke up screaming rape. WTF? I'm sorry, but that girl is stupid. It's her damn fault she ended up in some stranger's room and she took off her clothes and rode him. I've been drunk before, but being drunk doesn't make you that retarded. She was using drunk as an excuse, she probably felt like trash in the morning, regretted being so dumb, so she wanted to say it's rape. She must have been on something other than just been drunk. Probably a crackhead.

Avoid debating other posters. Let people state what they're an activist for without any opposition.

Too bad you have no idea what you are doing.

But, I guess you get what you pay for in your case - nothing.

If I was a dictator, White collar crime would hold the maximum sentence allowable by law, which wouldn't be the death penalty, since that would be outlawed too. It would probably be to work on Wall Street, but to clean the toilets and sweep the floors for 8 hours a day, with a half hour lunch break, and then return to prison afterwards.

Yet another thing you know little about.

Maybe you should work on your own ignorance.

Don't get me wrong I love animals and in an ideal world would get rid of animal testing but it is probably a necessary evil.

But in England, you get a load of public school university drop-outs and wasters who try and find meaning in their life by standing up for the rights of animals by trying to destroy honest people's lives?

My mate's Dad who is salt of the earth has had his Mum threatened who is about 82, had catalogues and pizzas sent to her house.

He's had posters put up on the street where they live saying he abuses childen, has to check his car and post box every day for bombs.

Just because he works for a bank who control the finances of a lab.

These so called activists are just cowards with no purpose to their life. If they love animals so much why don't they volunteer to take their place?

F*cking idiots,

Rant over.

I am a "Bioneer" and a "Slow Foodist".

"Bioneer= an organization of �biological pioneers� who are working to promote practical environmental and social solutions for restoring the earth and bringing about social justice."

"Slow Food= We believe that everyone has a fundamental right to pleasure and consequently the responsibility to protect the heritage of food, tradition and culture that make this pleasure possible. Our movement is founded upon this concept of eco-gastronomy � a recognition of the strong connections between plate and planet.

Slow Food is good, clean and fair food. We believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work.

We consider ourselves co-producers, not consumers, because by being informed about how our food is produced and actively supporting those who produce it, we become a part of and a partner in the production process."

I studied cooking in Italy under the Slowfood ideal. Please please be an aware consumer!!! Please consider your health and that of the Earth when you purchase anything.
