Over the course of time I've seen one eBay auction for a tiger-striped off-road
Camaro with monster truck tires and another even cooler one for a stretch limo
with tires so huge it could actually drive on the water (or float, or whatever).
I've never seen any such oddball projects in person until checking out a local
car show yesterday, where we got to see one of the more unusual off-road
vehicles yesterday... a Dodge Neon on 39" super swamper tires. I don't
think this one could actually float on the water, but it obviously was capable
of fording bodies of water that would drown lesser cars. The owner obviously has
gotten even more attention than he was originally seeking over this, as he has a
sticker on the door that says "I know.... I don't care."

ya it doesn't make any sense... ya more animals get to live to be slaughtered part way through their life and be eaten.. i know that if that happened to me, i'd rather not be born at all
I do see what you mean but I'm not sure. OK, going from being a human to a chicken probably wouldn't be worth the hassle (as chickens can't type and don't appreciate broadband) but if you're born a chicken you wouldn't have a clue what you're missing so you wouldn't miss it. I'm no animal psychologist but I'd imagine a chicken that is free to run around a yard is happy enough (probably happier than most humans, ever heard of a chicken with stress problems?) and if that ckicken is killed humanely, it's surely worth it to have at least some life? Of course, chickens that live in 1x1x1 foot boxes all their life are different and although I've no problem with eating them, I do feel strongly about treating animals well.
Take it this way - I'll guess you're under 30, so you're only a fraction of the way through your life. If you got attacked and eaten by a lion now, would you float up to heaven (or down to hell, whatever) wishing you hadn't gone on that safari or would you wish you'd never been born? I'd be wishing I'd missed the safari because half a life is better than no life at all (of course, half a life 2 looks really kickass! Wait, getting sidetracked).
Of course, it's in line with my beliefs that if I got eaten by a lion, I'd be in a lions stomach being digested, but that's a completely different point and irrevelent to my purely hypothetical situation.
Cheers,
Quboid
