Causes.

I've been wracking my brain for a very very long time, about why folks get so upset about things that have really nothing to do with them.

The latest blow came to me today when reading a newspaper article on how Canada's Governor General (the vice-regal representative in Canada of the Queen, who is the head of state), who's position is largely ceremonial, took part not in hunting of a seal, only in joining the native Inuit in one of their sacred ceremonies involving the first hunt (or whatever) by eating a peice of the flesh.

I know that was alot and I still haven't gotten to the point, but rest assured, here it comes. Basically, PETA, in all of their naked wisdom, decides to boycott Canadian Maple Syrup to save baby seals, something that A. Wasn't eaten and B. Has little if anything to do with one another.

My whole point here, is that why do you think people get so upity about something that has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Oh and here's the link about the syrup thing - http://www.canada.com/news/Boycott+Canadian+maple+syrup+save+seals+PETA/1636196/story.html

Well my only explanation is that they may be slightly retarded.

Well, we already know that PETA is run by looneybins, who have a good cause in their hearts but end up cocking up their punishments, so I'm not surprised.

PETA is fucking retarded. They have no idea what they're doing. Save your sanity and ignore them.

South Park has tainted me so much I just automatically think of the episode where Stan refuses to vote for a new school mascot, when thinking of PETA...

Well while I agree with ignoring them, perhaps they need a bit of sense tossed at them in this instance. If these things weren't being hunted, could you imagine the devastation on the ecosystems? Good grief, that'd be bad.

Anyone got any other causes that seem ... odd?

and then

Spoiler

PETA is all killed by P. Ditty oh I love that part

But the reason people do this is because it makes them feel like they are changing the world and it makes them feel like they are worth something. But what this really does is show how insane they are I mean take PETA for example I mean sure killing animals is wrong but you know we still gotta eat.

Just think of it like this "animals are fun to pet but better to chew" *Jim Gaffigan*

But for the most part these people also are just completely and total mentally insane Radicals.
