...drivel such as the following quote. I was doing some research for a paper I'm writing, and I peeked into a corner, read this, and ended up more stupider than usual after having my brain tricked into processing this data...
"In the whole history of the world, whenever a meat-eating race has gone to war against a non-meat-eating race, the meat eaters won. It produces superior people. We have the books of history."
So, who said that, and in what context? Go ahead, have fun.

From The 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said, by Ross and Kathryn Petras, who were quite obviously vegetarians...
Two all beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles and a M-16.
For those who find the page on the inturwebz where I IDd the quote are in for a treat of other quotes in the mind-numbingly stupid category.

Okay okay, joking aside, what the hell kind of paper was THAT relevant to?
Watch the 3-hour mini-series entitled "The Decline and Fall of America: From The Founding Fathers to the Floundering Free-Loaders", coming soon to The History Channel.
Speaking of fighters and what they eat......when a Sailor eats calamari....is it cannibalism?
Maggie: Depends how the Sailor eats it.
Democracy: A government of the masses. ... Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic — negating property rights. ... Result is demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.

My father, the son of a butcher, used to say, "A meal without meat is like a day without sunshine."
And a day without sunshine is like... night!
Seriously, Argent... the Army quote is absolutely correct. It is why our founding fathers steadfastly refused to allow our nation to be a democracy. A democracy is glorified mob rule, and as worthless a system of government as socialism or communism, the latter of which is tyranny masqueading as a democracy. We are a republic, and thank the Gods for that, although at present we are indeed leaning heavily towards an Oligarchy, if not a nova tyranny and we should strive to our utmost to prevent that from happening.
But, more on topic, meat is what's for dinner. And beer. Bourbon for desert.

Republican vs Democrat.
You'd be surprised at the number of supposedly "politically aware" people who don't know this.

So very, very true.
[BillT]Tofu kielbasa? That's in the same category as a minestrone on rye, in my book...
In MY book it's in the same category as sheetrock on rye. I DO love rye very much (definitely WITH the caraway seeds), but I'm not much into construction-material sandwiches.
The techical term for this is "your attention was raped".
Oh my. I hope it wasn't too hot. I'd hate for my little brother to get burned. He may be a brat sometimes, but I still love him- with or without minestrone. ;-)
So *that's* Ry's pet name for the Fair Jess.
I may go to hell for that.
Of course, if I see her first, I will flee...
killed, killed dead by a flung trivet.
What the hell? Who is pouring soup on me now(man, and this is part of the three piece I wear to work, damnit)? And, no, I'm not a German sausage, ZoomieSib. Geeze.
Never fails. Leave it to UnkaBill to start/go looking for trouble(Pakistan, Vietnam, Iraq, KtLW and computers.....). Flingwingers. Man.
Jess doesn't believe in violence, John. She'll just find ways to make you suffer(for decades, and, yeah, we've got plans to keep you going, Homeboy. Just like Steve Austin, we have the technology, but without the cool sound effects.).
Kinda, sorta, maybe on topic for a sec. The only time I could see dietary differences making any real impact on war between two peoples is when one is cannibal or just a normal eater of critter meat, and the other'n is pacifist, non-violent, victim oriented and devoted to the cult of cowardice, while being vegetarian.
Could been worse. She could flung a *flounce* in there, too.
