I eat meat also, but I know what I'm not to eat and dog is one of them, they were not meant for food.

It would be one thing if we lived in a Third World country were the only way to get protein was a dog. I would cry while doing so, but I would eat it.

This is America, we have other animals that were meant to eat. So lets eat them and stop condoning the eating of dogs.

Obama will WIN BIG over Romney in another LANDSLIDE victory ... the same as he did to John McCain !!!

Think about this .... McCain beat Romney in 2008 as the Republican nominee. Obama proceeded to slaughter McCain. Do you actually believe Romney now has even the SLIGHTEST chance of beating Obama ???

it's a good thing a president can only occupy the throne for 8 years.

4 more years of this actor and we are screwed..

I have 2 friends with pot-bellied pigs for pets (one back home in Colorado and one here in Manhattan believe it or not), and I'd say they rival my border collie in terms of intelligence. They make wonderful, loyal, affectionate pets. That fact doesn't stop me from eating pork.
Pot-bellied pigs are even different than pigs & hogs raised for food. Intelligence makes a difference in weather animals should be consumed for food. Horses shouldn't be eaten either.

And, there certainly isn't anything in the Bible, for example, about not eating dog. However, there is something about not eating pork. Pigs are pork, last I checked.

Anyway, this year's event was pretty good, but, nothing will ever beat the year Colbert hosted.
His monologue is still the best.
It's called common sense and we should apply that to weather you'd vote for a President who eats dogs or one who carried his dog securely on top of his car.

Pork is in the Old Testament and it's Jewish belief. I believe when the sheet was presented to Peter it changed to what we could consume. All was considered clean, that's debatable.

Your best friend shouldn't be one of them.

The food here in the good ol' U.S.A. is superior to anything else in the world...the only dog I will eat is a HOTDOG

...as a boy OBAMA took in a baseball game in INDONESIA and when the vendor shouted HOT DOG!!

GET YOUR HOT DOG HERE!!!!

He meant it !!!!



Romney on the other hand has rarified tastes Roof Raised Ruff - in to delight his palate....

I actually agree with you.
We should apply common sense to determine whether the actions of an adult are comparable to the actions of a child.
For me, it is an easy choice

I thought he was great too. He laughed along when there were jokes about him.

I am sure if it was someone else (different) party they would think it was hilarious. It is a shame that people can't find humor where it was funny. It was funny, no matter what party you support. I can see that why can't anyone else. Geez.

Seriously, people lighten up..frowns cause wrinkles!!!

First off, how do you measure the relative "intelligence" of various animals? How is it that you rank dog and horse as more intelligent than pig and cow? After ranking them, how do you decide your cutoff line as to which animals are too intelligent to eat and which ones are dumb enough to be food? What makes #31 on your list too intelligent to eat, but #32 perfectly fine for human consumption?

As to you pot-bellied pig comment, which of the roughly 75 breeds or pigs are okay to eat, and which are not? Is it just pop-bellied pigs that are "different" and not suitable for consumption, or do some of the other 75 breeds make that list? In that vein, are some dog breeds okay to eat, but others off limits. I ate goat on Easter. Goats are arguably just as intelligent as horses or pigs or dogs - are they okay to eat?

Ummm, no.
GM foods and those filled with chemicals, etc.
I prefer food from Europe. They have standards here.
