Lettuce Ladies at the Barry Bonds Hearing

Very well said Kristina. I try to be calm and objective 100 percent of the time but I am a human being and I do react once in a while. My apologies. Let's face it sticking to the facts is a lot less juicy than petty bickering. That's why trashy Britteny Spears stories sell so well. So the temptation to let the conversation disintegrate into nastiness is always present especially in light of personal attacks. However as I said it's really trashy and I'm not into that. I certainly can't vouch for anyone else here but I far prefer rational debate scientific facts and conversation. I for one look forward to more of that Kristina.

Ps to Ariel I have to admit your comments made me giggle. I'm not kidding I had a good laugh. For several reasons. For one you made some good points. I can contradict myself and be disrespectful. For that I apologize. Of course you would never be accused of showing respect to those to whom you are commenting. I hope with all my heart Ariel that you do stay around this blog for a very long time indeed. Your comments are more often than not quite extensive detailed and entertaining. Peace! Maya

Ariel your comments were blunt but as you say the TRUTH! As always it is good to see you here. There have been many closeminded people on these blogs over the past year and Cochran is just one of them. Notice how lately he has been spewing out longwinded comments filled with ultratechnical scientific terms presumably to sound ohsoeducated?? NOT impressing us dude! Caboose sometimes seems to have a clue about PETA and its supporters but you're right mainly he is incomprehensible or only talking about "firearms" don't call them guns he will criticize you!!!!!. Rojo seems to be one of the very few "regulars" who does not seem to post comments just for the sake of causing trouble and may be more openminded than many of the other "anti's" here. Ariel to you and all of the other wonderful RADICAL animal rights people here seasons greetings happy holidays and Merry Christmas!

Cochran and Maya The reasons why you two click together so well is because both of you are from the same mold. Both of you are egotistical selfglorifying phonies hypocrits and REAL BS'ers. Both of you shove your ALLEDGED degrees down people's throats and talk down to people as if you are SO superior. Also NEITHER of you were authorized by PeTA to comment as officials on this blog site as you think you are. And NEITHER of you are animal rights' activists. Oh the great Maya who loves to often negatively criticize Ingrid the cofounderPres. of PeTA for 25 years and who has done more for ar's in one year than Maya could ever do in a lifetime. The great Maya who is always giving her "authoritative" approval about PeTA IF Maya finds it to HER favor OR HER disapproval as if the great Maya could do much better. Oh but never ever disagree with the great Maya because she'll get beside herself and give wisecracks. what was that about being respectful to each other? see Maya's own comments. Anyway don't turn to Cochran for that answer. Cochran himself stated TO MAYA that he knows he's not wellliked on this blog site because of his nasty cocky egotistical arrogance. But now he's hiding behind Maya's skirt LYING in plain black and white and throwing bull just to sway people away from the TRUTH about animal rights' And Maya is his cheerleader because she is not an ara either just likes to play authority figure about something that she does not have a deep commitment to because she is too selffocused. Therefore to her ara's are "radical." see her comment her meaning to be derogatory which PROVES she is NOT knowlegable about the ar's movement Yes two people both alike have love for selfglorification and playing authority figures except Cochran is staunchly against ar's and is deceptively influencing people especially newcomers and condescending Maya is NOT an ar's activist. And obviously their great alledged degrees taught them NOTHING about discretion or being selfless. Cochran Tell the TRUTH about your goal which you mentioned a few times when you were on the hot seat. YOU said that your goal is to tell us YOUR views for us to consider the "other side" so that we won't be so "narrowminded" and to "change" our "zealous religious beliefs"aka animal rights' beliefs AND because you were upset about alledged "ara's banging pots and pans near your property" because they scared away the animals that you wanted to hunt. quotes actual words Tell the truth how many times you changed the focus away from animals and ar's when you whined and mocked activists. Tell the truth about how many times you are giving medical adviceopinion as UNverified doctor on a blog site of all places! Mike Q Since you had daily discussions with Cochran ever since the summer please tell this blog site how far you have gotten in changing any of Cochran's views. And if you don't mind would you please inform this forum how many times SO MANY ara's each time he commented repeatedly had to defend ar's due to his VERY vicious comments to the point where he became the main focus under each heading. Caboose Boring? Sorry but I'm not here to entertain you or anybody else. Now I'll give you SOME critique on your comments 1. nobody knows what your talking about most of the time probably because you don't know either therefore you have been ignored because you come across as being an irrational unintelligible juvenile. 2. your comments are often solely about guns therefore you are on the wrong blog site and are of NO interest to any ara. 3. you have yet to offer anything of importance to this ANIMAL RIGHTS' blog site. The reason I am boring to you is because I take the suffering and torture of animals to be a VERY SERIOUS cause and because I am mature enough to know that. So untilif you ever become mature why don't you hang out on a blog site that caters to juvenile nonsense. You'll be a hit! Call this personal attacks call it what you will but this is an ANIMAL RIGHTS' blog site which is a VERY SERIOUS movement and there is NO room in this movement for selfglorification BS'ers and nonsense. Try calling my comments the TRUTH!

Ariel You are obviously very commendably passionate about the plight of animals. You may continue to write long articles regarding how much you disdain me but I have decided to try and refrain from addressing personal criticism by reciprocating. I have used rudeness and petty comments in the past and I have elected to try my best to avoid them in the future. Critical comments are expected but I do not wish or intend to be pejorative. I will try to approach discussion here with honesty and integrity because these issues are also very important to me even though I have different opinions than most here about said issues. I hope that in the future you could direct your comments to the issues of animals and avoid posting solely for bashing me or anyone else. As you yourself have pointed out this blog is about animals. This is not my blog nor is it about me. All the best.
