How come? Do you eat other meat? I don't eat pork outside of VERY crisp bacon. I do not eat anything with pork products in it such as "meat" sausages, "all meat" franks or casseroles with a combination of "meat" (without specifying beef). But I will eat the hell out of some bacon. :) Also, I do not eat any "game" meats like venison, rabbit, squirrel, possum, duck (yep, hate the oily texture of it), peasant, etc. I have my reasons which I will not print here because of those who do eat those things.

Why wont you eat chicken?

I have not eaten chicken since I was 5 years old and saw a chicken with its head cut off. Since then, I have butchered chicken, but I can't stand the smell of cooked chicken.

Thank you for sharing that. I can relate in a different way. I saw the plane crash that happened in Cerritos CA in 1986. I saw the plane drop from the sky, hit the ground and saw the fireball. I went to the scene and saw the most greusome sights I have ever seen in my life. Since then, I cannot board a plane without feeling panic and nausea. I have to be sedated. It is a form of PTSD, and I have actually gotten therapy for it.

I dont blame you for not eating chicken, given what you have said.

I like pork, but oddly enough I'm not a fan of bacon. I'll use it for some recipes at times, but try to avoid it. Too strong tasting and too salty. I don't get the attraction to it; never did.

As for wild game, not a big fan as it always tastes "gamey", dumb as that sounds. The most I'll generally do is wild turkey, that's it. Pheasant, quail, wild duck and wild goose usually taste...wild. And I don't care for venison at all. Not that I have an issue with hunting, I just don't care for the meat -- And there's always a ton of it here where I live. Seems some distant relative is always offering some venison steaks or roasts or "sausage" every winter because it's clogging up their freezer and they find they don't really like eating it that much. Yeah, no thanks. :rolleyes:

*Incidentally, I've been considering getting my turkey hunting license for either the Spring or Fall season, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Unfortunately I don't know any fellow turkey hunters here despite the fact that we have tons of them all over the place.

Just wanted to mention this without getting too political and ruining this thread. Saw that OZ is working on the gay marriage thing but when I saw this pic of a newly married, happy couple all I could think of was nailing the Asian guy. I'm talking pounding out the veal! :anim_59:
:hump:

Yeah, in the ATC, it's the poli city so everything gets legalized or de-criminalized there first. Can't let their little darlings get busted for something :lol:

Florida woman who was convicted for firing a warning shot and sentenced to 20 yrs has been released, though not yet totally cleared. The woman who oversaw her prosecution is the same "barbie doll wannabe (I say that since she was such a fashion whore for the Zimmerman cameras)" that supervised the half assed prosecution of Zimmerman. She had no problem letting out the stops to convict a woman who didn't even hit anyone with the gun shot:

Actually, gays don't care about "The Beebs" at all. His popularity rests on the backs of an army of pre-teen girls. With this being the case it's only natural for his fan base to age-out of liking him. Daddy's little girl grows up, dyes her hair and her nails black, becomes something in the Goth genus and trades Justin Bieber for Bauhaus.

Can't fight the circle of life. ;)

I guess this is a good thing-always learning is always good. But someone SELL ME on why I should learn this. What benefit might I attain from it?

Right off the bat....you cant use some packaged program that writes code for you to create unique programs. You need to study HTML5 and you better be using Git to do it. Dreamweaver is still an excellent coding app. :) But coding is quite lucrative :) You can make a ton of cash doing it.
