Has Everyone Gone Nuts?

April 24, 2008

Just When You ...

... thought it was safe to once again pick up the papers because the Pennsylvania Primary is OVER and both Barry O and Hill C will be off the news at least some of the time, we find even bigger idiots residing in Europe (like that's news.... ed!... Oh shut up).

Plant "experts" in Switzerland ethicists by trade have decided that it is unethical to mistreat plants just because we are bigger and stronger.

PLANTS deserve respect, a group of Swiss experts says, arguing that killing them arbitrarily is morally wrong - except when it comes to saving humans or maybe picking petals off a daisy.

In a report on "the dignity of the creature in the plant world", the federal Ethics Committee on non-human Gene Technology condemned the decapitation of flowers without reason, among other sins.

Still, commission member Bernard Baertsche suggested the body weighed such cruel acts on a case by case basis, noting "the simple pleasure of picking the petals off a daisy might suffice as a reason".[emphasis added]

OMG... decapitating flowers? Another reign of terror sponsored by the Robespierre of Mother's and Valentine's Day?

Such Cruelty!

Such Creepiness!

Such Idiocy!

Off With Their Heads!

2 This was funny. Great imagery of "Rose" Marie Antoinette, too. I laughed.

Also, about Bruce Willis and his thoughts on Global Warming. Thank God he's one of a handful of Republican Hollywood types who hasn't fallen fall that hype. I've always liked Bruce..maybe not his movies, but I like him and I like that he refuses to fall into that Liberal abyss into which so many celebrities descend.

4 What stupendous twaddle!

The left has no problem with infanticide (and I'm sure euthanasia of the elderly is lurking somewhere in their teensy little evil brains) - but a daisy needs to be protected for ethical reasons?

The best thing about these left wing loons is that they believe in birth control so assiduously that in another generation or so - they'll be gone completely! And that, my friends, is both serendipity and unintended (but welcome) consequences!

6 Hmmm. Every pot plant I've ever talked to specifically told me they enjoyed being plucked and smoked.

The narcissus are blooming in my yard, and tonight I beheaded a few and put them on display in my living room.

Will the "plant ethicists" hunt me down now? Hehehe.

20 modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They often are brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators. Together, all of the petals of a flower are called a corolla. Petals are usually accompanied by another set of special leaves called sepals lying just beneath the corolla. When the petals and sepals of a flower look similar they are called tepals.<a href="http://www.mrcabinetcare.com/">kitchen cabinets Los Angeles</a>

22 Its a good article must watch this.third parties may use opposition proceedings to "oppose" the acceptance of a trademark application after it has been accepted and published for opposition purposes. If an opposition is defeated the trademark will proceed to registration. Some jurisdictions operate a "post-grant" opposition system, whereby opposition is not possible until after registration

27 I was thinking something a bit more....severe.

Something that goes beyond ODS.

Maybe "Liberal Psychotic Disorder."

Anyone got any ideas? This is way beyond ODS...and needs to be treated with some hard core anti-psychotics.
