  Oh please, objectifying is either right or wrong

  If PETA is saying it's wrong for other people to make animals objects, then it's wrong for them to make women objects.  

  If they can use the excuse that "Sex Sells" objectify women, I should certainly be able to use the excuse that "Meat Tastes Great!" to continue eating meat.

  Their biggest problem isn't even this, although it gives you a peephole into what they're really about..I've read that they have a freezer they throw all their "saved" animals into because supposedly they can't find homes for them?  Sick.  PETA is sick and disgusting.  

  And for the guy ooops person who says we have better things to talk about than this?  Who are you to tell anyone what to talk about?  You felt the need to comment on it so...why don't you stop talking about it?On Animal rights group called out for repeatedly exploiting women posted 1 year, 4 months ago 38 Responses

  Bah humbug

  They can say whatever they want about what they're going to do in the future, but it's nothing more than a press release.

  When they decide it's easier to fix the amount of tritium they're leaking into the Rock River so it actually complies with the law, instead of just taking a fine every year because it's cheaper, I might start trusting them.On Nuke-power company Exelon announces big emissions cuts by 2020 posted 1 year, 4 months ago 4 Responses

  alright

  As one of the critics of this, I wonder how one line of cleaners makes a company with such a horrible environmental record suddenly something to support.

  If Clorox had decided to work on making their usual products more environmentally friendly, that would be something. They haven't. They've launched a foray into an alternative market along with a major advertising campaign. It's about market expansion, not protecting the environment. Frankly, I wouldn't be opposed normally, but the advertising campaign and the Sierra Club getting involved to fight for a corporation which is giving them money, frankly seems hypocritical to me.

  Why should the Sierra Club be a tax exempt advertising company? Seriously, shouldn't advertising for corporations in exchange for money jeopardize their nonprofit status? It's certainly not the reason people have donated to the Sierra Club.On Sierra Club and Clorox celebrate their partnership posted 1 year, 5 months ago 10 Responses

  it's not just deniers

  what's most dangerous is that the deniers like to plant the idea that it wouldn't neccesarily be a bad thing.

  What I find most disturbing is the number of people who believe in global warming but think it's not going to be a big deal, and they'll save money on their heating bills in winter.On Fewer Republicans saying earth is warming posted 1 year, 6 months ago 19 Responses

  Don't see any here at all

  Here in Northern Illinois, there just aren't any honeybees. We've got bumblebees everywhere, and a big colony of mason bees in our yard (we're one of the few houses in the neighboorhood that doesn't get chemlawn, so they love our yard), and the occasional sweat bee (the little green ones).
  Thankfully, no carpenter bees.
  Of course, having grown up in NY where honeybees are (or were) very plentiful, it always amazes me hearing people say they've only been stung by bees once or twice - and often they mean wasps. I can't say I miss the honeybees at all.On Honeybee hives in U.S. seeing continued decline, survey says posted 1 year, 6 months ago 10 Responses
