Here is the source of the 2006 PeTA stats used by the Center for Consumer Freedom: http://www.virginia.gov/vdacs_ar/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?link_select=facility&form=fac_select&fac_num=157&year=2006 I found this by going to to //www.virginia.gov, searching for VDACS, then narrowing the search further to find PeTA's current and previous yearly reports. Who cares who reported this information to the public originally? PeTA was 9 months late turning this over - I wonder why? The data shows PeTA killed over 97% of the animals turned in to its' 'shelter.' The previous year (2005) it was "just" over 90%. What will it be when 2007's statistics are released? This organization is clearly bent on destroying life. Its' corporate culture is DEATH. Anything PeTA recommends, wants, or asks for is deeply suspect and should be automatically rejected. Period.

Dump him, post haste

meat, milk, fishing, leather, scientific research, capitalism, etc. PETA fiends have been convicted of illegally chucking their victims into a North Carolina dumpster. Their colleague Andrea florence Benoit Harris faces felony charges for stealing a hunting dog, which she evidently planned to "euthanize." As David Martosko of the Center for Consumer Freedom observes: chicken Why does PETA kill the animals instead of sheltering them humanely? Because killing them is cheaper. PETA brings in $30 million a year from dupes who think they're helping animals. They don't want to waste a penny of it on dogs and cats when their actual mission is the dissemination of moonbattery.

Let's just get this fiasco of electing a president over with; than we can all party like it's 1999. I propose we just come up with a test, and whoever scores the highest wins. Have some panel come up with like 1000 questions related to stuff a president should know; then throw in some bonus points for times through an obstacle course, just to make sure they're physically fit for office. As far as their sanity goes, anybody who wants that job is messed up in the head anyway. The only disqualifier we should attach is "lawyers need not apply." and each side recruits bikini models to champion their cause in the oil wrestling pit...

Jack would be better able to tell you who the band doctors in Portland are. I suggest sending him a PM. I was banded by Dr. Tersigni and highly recommend him and his staff, the only other doctor I know of that is closely priced is Dr. Miranda in Klamath Falls but that is a bit far away for you I imagine.

ifi t comes down to hukabee and obama I will vote for obama. But I will not feel good about it.

I think most of you know who I am. However for those who have not yet had the honor of trading blows with me in the R&R forum, I am Derick, I live in the state of Jefferson. If you are female I will flirt shamelessly with you eventually (take a number, please) :eyebrows: I am not politically correct in any way (unless it serves my purposes at the moment) and am in general; rude, lewd and crude. At least I am honest If there are any further questions, ask laurend or green, they are president and vice-president of the DerickM Fan Club on lapbandtalk.com. Membership requires nekkid pictures of the applicant to be sent and approved by DerickM.

Believe it or not I agree with some of ninas points. Pakistan should be bought under US control and thier nukes transferred to US facilities or destroyed.

Carry on.......

and still obsessed right?

well, how about at least doing some quality control of a few prophylactics??

do you seriously think that there is a comparison? how the hell can Britney=Diana? more like: Britney=Anna Nicole Smith

well, if you want to come bisit I am sure I could arange for you to join the ranks

I never tell my resolution beforehand, it becomes twice as onerous a duty.

w00t!!!!!!

I switch back and forth, about 70% of the time I still see myself as 460-480 pounds in the mirror. then sometimes when I am not expecting it I get a surprise! like "Holy Crap! I have collarbones!" or "hey, these grooves in my stomach didn't use to be there..."

Seconded!!!!!

Please do...

I thought about it as well, for myself it would depend on a few factors. How much of thier food would the individual with the band get 'stuck' on? Are the size of thier meals over the doctor recommended amount? Is the food that they provide healthy for the dietary concerns of a person who has had lap-band or WLS?

No wonder moonbats fly into a rage when exposed to Fox News. The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University, hardly a conservative outfit, has found that "Fox News Channel's evening news show provided more balanced coverage than its counterparts on the broadcast networks." http://www.cmpa.com/releases/07_12_21_Election_Study.pdf Interesting

true, however I was thinking of the upcoming election here in the US.

As is obvious to anybody with access to the news, Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today. The general template places her in the position of martyr. In reality, she's nothing of the sort. Descended from a long line of aristocrats and feudal lords, her 'dramatic rise to power' and subsequent campaign for democracy was all just part of the family business. If you ask me, the only thing about a lack of democracy that offended her was the fact that it left her own family out of power. Her assassination is not all that newsworthy in it's context. Assassination is just another way of doing politics among her kind, who have ruled, or attempted to rule, Pakistan since before it's founding. And as corrupt and ineffective as her previous tenure as Prime Minister was, is it any surprise that somebody out there thought it a national duty to eliminate her for good? She was no more in a position to add stability to a region that has never known it than the current dictatorial regime, or any member of the other ruling family of Pakistan. Pakistan is a troubled land. It will stay that way. It's best we just left it alone, and let the partisans go ahead and off each other in their Quest for power. And don't cry for the Bhutto family. They still have all that ill-gotten money and the national prestige and connections to acquire more of it, and soon, another Bhutto will rise to the forefront of Pakistani politics as a champion of the nation, like a monarchy that will not die.
