Cows as well as all of the other animals we eat are MASS PRODUCED because people are willing to pay for them! Yes there would still be cows if people didn't farm them but there wouldn't be enough to have the horrific effects on our planet that they do now. Factory farming is as bad for the earth as it is cruel.

*Illegally And I don't believe in kicking people out who are here to improve their lives and be productive members of society. I think a big part of why the US is so defensive about people crossing the border is because of the onslaught of drug cartel members who came here. As for equality how do you know we won't be? Just because we're not there yet doesn't mean it's impossible. And it's people like you, who sit around pissing and moaning about how impossible it is, that are part of the problem. I went to high school with an undocumented girl who graduated my freshmen year. Since then she has been working her ass off to change immigration laws while attending full time at Penn State. She organizes rallies and sit-ins, she gives speeches, she contacts representatives. She risks deportation everyday because she openly admits her illegal status. And if change never happens at least she can say she tried, at least she can say she said something, rather than sitting around whining about it

I don't think the bird is harmed by this.

I don't think a bear would be hanging around a busy road. And they could easily lose the trail in the dark

His head is drooping so he can inhale the scents on the ground because he's investigating and he's probably panting because he's excited or nervous.

Pedophilia= Harmful to the child. Incest= Harmful to the offspring that can result from it. Homosexual Marriage= Harmful to nobody except the hetero people who CHOOSE TO FIXATE ON THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE.

The antlers don't light up unless bright light shines on them since it's reflective spray not glow in the dark. So if they were being hunted in a dark forest they wouldn't be any more visible than usual. And since most predators big enough to kill a reindeer (bear, wolves, possibly mountain lion though I'm not entirely sure they live in that region) hunt at dusk and night time the reindeer aren't in any more danger than before.

You have a very good point zombiestitcher. There really is no way to make everyone happy. But there are some things that I think would help the majority:
1) More interactive hands-on learning
2) Removal of certain portions of curriculum that have no use at all. (There are things taught in high school that are not even used in college, much less real life.)
3) Less multiple choice testing, more short answer.
Now I know that last one sounds dreadful, I don't like it either, but students are being taught how to take a test more than the material. If a majority of questions were short answer then students would have to learn the material rather than rely on guessing. These are just my ideas, I'm no authority in education though.

"Equality is an illusion." I take it that you're a white guy then. It's real easy to not give a shit about the rights of others when you're on the top of the ladder. Or maybe you're just a total cynic, who knows. And I have a faithful Christian roommate who supports gay marriage. The way she explained it was that she couldn't judge other people because they sinned differently than her and that all sins are equal in the eyes of God. She may not exactly understand homosexuality but she doesn't feel like it's her place to judge them or with hold their rights. One last thing, it's accept not except.

So your argument is that since they cannot produce children they can't get married? So people born infertile shouldn't be able to marry either, right? Also several species show cases of same-sex pairing. http://www.yalescientific.org/2012/03/do-animals-exhibit-homosexuality/

I know Democrats who agree with this. It's just common sense.
