They'd use that Futurama episode with Fry's dog, but even spambots cry at that.

No, the guy who killed it is a murderer. You are just making sure the sacrifice of its life does not go in vain

I like steak, too. I don't like how steak is treated before it's on one's plate, though.
Did you know that a vegan, who drives a Hummer every single day pollutes less than a meateater, who drives a Prius once a week?

How often is the 'meat eater' eating meat?

The regular amounts. A bit on bread in the morning, some at lunch and some at dinner. One main dish portion is the size of a card deck, mind. The pollution is calculated starting from the fertilisers used on cow feed (and grains and beans humans eat) to transportation, not excluding cow burps (yup, you read that right). Ruminants produce a lot of methane, about 80 million metric tonnes annually! That makes 28% of global methane emissions!

That's a regular amount? I only have it at dinner (well, did, now I barely have any).
If you're including that, I assume you're including the drilling of oil, refining, and transportation for the comparison too?
Edit: How far are you driving, also? A standard, every day run into the city? (40km there, 40 back)

We're having an interesting discussion!
These little 'did-you-knows' tend to be shafted to make the side they're representing look better.

I don't know of the fuel calculations. Source is the BBC info package on reducing greenhouse gases, though. Now if I could remember the address... Disco should have it in his IE browsing history, though!

I would have to see it to check if they followed Scientific Method, or just felt like entering the Climate Change debate.

The BBC is usually pretty good at getting their facts right. One of the few broadcasting companies I trust not to publish complete bollocks as serious advise to the people.
Oh, those 80 million etc numbers I pulled from the EPA, btw.

Oh, I trust the 80 mil, although BBC tends to go a tad heavy n what 'the average' is, and since it's centred in Britain, I bet the Hummer isn't driving far.

I'm surprised nobody has said it already, but a meat-eater just wouldn't drive a damn Prius anyway!

question why do you shut down threads for becoming spam threads but this is nothing but spam? does that mean we are allowed to spam threads from now on?

No, it doesn't mean you're allowed to spam any thread. This was left here as a comic relief, and for funny comments. But it doesn't mean any topic should be spammed.

Uh, Herkles... Sarcasm and rhetorical questions are well and good when they're used in the right context, preferrably in a humorous column or an argumentative essay, but you're tossing them left and right.
Since this thread is full of spam, I'll take this opportunity to suggest the following: if you have something to say, say it. Don't say anything more. Don't say less either, making obscure references that the reader has to interpret.
Make your point by stating your opinion and the arguments to support it. Ask questions only when you sincerely don't know the answer and want to hear it. Rhetorical questions are often a waste of time and only serve to distract the reader from your thesis.
This is just a friendly suggestion, because rhetorical questions that don't contribute to the argument piss me off. Either I have to ignore them, make a fool of myself by answering with another rhetoric question or sarcasm, or make a fool of you by answering seriously (like Nekh did above). And I don't particularly like any of the options, which is why I'd rather be spared from making the choice.

I wholeheartedly disagree! Making fools of people is so very entertaining, whoever it is! You're far too nice, Iron.

We're only spamming a thread that was created by a spambot! We are being generous by fulfilling the reason for its very existence!
Are we not good people?

Well, I guess we can stop the insanity now. It was a fun ride people. We'll just cut the thread before it jumps the Fonz and degenerates into senseless violence and rampant polka.
Thanks to all who participated in the spammy fun! We'll see you in next week's ridiculous spam thread!
