		<description>B&#039;ville,

We have idiots on the Right who have already been programmed to be Stepford Politically-Correct Ninny-Bobs to see racism where there isn&#039;t.  Some of them are RIGHT here on this blog.</description>

		<description>Yeah, you&#039;re right but I ain&#039;t highly refined.  I double checked before I used the term jelly instead of jam or preserves.  Mint jelly was on the jar of the Polaner name brand, so I went with jelly.

In all seriousness, the left is looking for anything they can claim as RACIST/SEXIST.  Their claims don&#039;t make it so, but just wait.  It&#039;s coming.  It&#039;s already in the Democratic race(can I use the word race?) for the Democratic nominee for President and it&#039;s coming here.</description>

		<description>Bowersville,

I thought highly refined Southerners thought it an insult to refer to the cooking of fruit into a semi-solid, semi-liquid concoction as &lt;b&gt;jelly&lt;/b&gt;.

I would have thought you would be edjumacated enough to use the proper terminology of &lt;b&gt;preserves&lt;/b&gt;.</description>

		<description>After all this discussion, I know this sounds weird, but I love my lamb with Foster&#039;s special bitter and mint jelly.  But I have to have the chops well done and the jelly sweet.  The bitter is such a contrast to the pallet and the jelly must be Polaner&#039;s.  

But it&#039;s still a dispute as to whether I accompany the lamb a sweet potato or an Irish potatoe.

I wonder what potatoe/potato a certain VP candidate would prefer.

If you think my response is somewhat silly, please re-read some of the tinged comments above.

Are we going to carry these tinged comments all the way to November?  I hope not.</description>

		<description>&quot;lamb is eaten every day in New Zealand and Australia by those of that certain Irish decent.&quot;

Well not every day. Any day of the week you can&#039;t beat lamb cops for 20 cents each at the supermarket.</description>

A little help again.

Religion and Vegetarianism

Why Hindus Don&#039;t Eat Meat 

Reasons 

In the past fifty years, millions of meat-eaters -- Hindus and non-Hindus -- have made the personal decision to stop eating the flesh of other creatures. There are five major motivations for such a decision: 

1. The Dharmic Law Reason
Ahinsa, the law of noninjury, is the Hindu&#039;s first duty in fulfilling religious obligations to God and God&#039;s creation as defined by Vedic scripture. 

2. The Karmic Consequences Reason
All of our actions, including our choice of food, have Karmic consequences. By involving oneself in the cycle of inflicting injury, pain and death, even indirectly by eating other creatures, one must in the future experience in equal measure the suffering caused. 

3. The Spiritual Reason
Food is the source of the body&#039;s chemistry, and what we ingest affects our consciousnes, emotions and experiential patterns. If one wants to live in higher consciousness, in peace and happiness and love for all creatures, then he cannot eat meat, fish, shellfish, fowl or eggs. By ingesting the grosser chemistries of animal foods, one introduces into the body and mind anger, jealousy, anxiety, suspicion and a terrible fear of death, all of which are locked into the the flesh of the butchered creatures. For these reasons, vegetarians live in higher consciousness and meat-eaters abide in lower consciousness. 

4. The Health Reason
Medical studies prove that a vegetarian diet is easier to digest, provides a wider ranger of nutrients and imposes fewer burdens and impurities on the body. Vegetarians are less susceptible to all the major diseases that afflict contemporary humanity, and thus live longer, healthier, more productive lives. They have fewer physical complaints, less frequent visits to the doctor, fewer dental problems and smaller medical bills. Their immune system is stronger, their bodies are purer, more refined and skin more beautiful. 

5. The Ecological Reason
Planet Earth is suffereing. In large measure, the escalating loss of species, destruction of ancient rainforests to create pasture lands for live stock, loss of topsoils and the consequent increase of water impurities and air pollution have all been traced to the single fact of meat in the human diet. No decision that we can make as individuals or as a race can have such a dramatic effect on the improvement of our planetary ecology as the decision not to eat meat.</description>

I was only accusing them of lying about their &quot;escapades&quot;.  We all know that Techies don&#039;t have such things.

		<description>By the way, back to the original topic of the post.

The word &quot;F*CK&quot; has no etymological relationship with the sexual act many of you are thinking of.  However, if I were to say that &quot;A Georgia Tech student was &quot;F*cking some chick&quot;, you would know what I meant and you would know that I was lying.

Just because a certain word has no &quot;etymological relationship&quot; with another word, it doesn&#039;t mean that certain connotations exist with said word.

The reason you don&#039;t hear the word &quot;Niggardly&quot; that often is because of the connotation of the &quot;N-Word&quot;.  Whether you like it or not, that connotation exists, and no amount of pulling out the dictionary to prove a word&#039;s vague Norwegian origins changes the connotation.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By the way, back to the original topic of the post.</p>
<p>The word &#8220;F*CK&#8221; has no etymological relationship with the sexual act many of you are thinking of.  However, if I were to say that &#8220;A Georgia Tech student was &#8220;F*cking some chick&#8221;, you would know what I meant and you would know that I was lying.</p>
<p>Just because a certain word has no &#8220;etymological relationship&#8221; with another word, it doesn&#8217;t mean that certain connotations exist with said word.</p>
<p>The reason you don&#8217;t hear the word &#8220;Niggardly&#8221; that often is because of the connotation of the &#8220;N-Word&#8221;.  Whether you like it or not, that connotation exists, and no amount of pulling out the dictionary to prove a word&#8217;s vague Norwegian origins changes the connotation.</p>
