Buncha morans over there, along with a few good liberals who mostly keep their mouths shut because they get attacked pretty visciously.

1. But all I feel here is love?

What's up with them?

[Systematic Chaos]

2. The worst, most vitriolic posts from true DU'ers acting in the heat of the moment

are not 1/10th as nasty and spiteful as the posts on FreeptardRepugnant which are allowed to stay without being removed.

The worst arguments here among bona fide DU'ers are more civil than the average discourse from the right-wing hatemongers like Coulter and Limbaugh.

Someone apparently needs to recycle some aluminum cans and get a clue. And a personality.


P.S. - I am not going to register to that site to see the post you're referring to. Could you do us a favor and post 3-4 paragraphs that sum up your point the best? The rules here allow for that.

4. Well put

and dead accurate. Bravo!

[Warren Stupidity]

3. I hate the war mongering corrupt assholes!

And I am pretty far over on the libertarian left. So I have no problem with that.

5. Their sheep forum is great.

I've had this thought in the back of my mind to raise sheep some day. This reignited that. And for that, I thank you.

As for the hate part, I suppose they're jealous that we don't share in the fear they have. Whoever "they" is.

I will now end this day with wonderful thoughts of having another farm soon, and raising bouncing sheep. :)

9. Sheep are dumb as a bag of hammers

what you want are goats! Goats are smart and always thinking of you. They'll help you find holes in your fenceline, determine the best type of gate latch, and test out the finish on your Father-n-laws Lexus and, well you can see where I'm going with this.
Goats! Gotta get some goats.

10. Goats are also good for keeping down brush and weeds...

but they could give Harry Houdini lessons in getting free.
"They'll help you find holes in your fenceline, determine the best type of gate latch" So true.
Ya gotta be smart to deal with goats.

I've also heard that goat milk is much better for babies than the stuff that comes from cows...something about smaller molecular structure...?? :shrug:

11. Goat's milk is deeeelicious!

I worked on a goat ranch when I was little. ;)

13. Goat's milk is easier to break down for babies

Here's a good article on why:

GOT GOAT'S MILK?

What does goat's milk give you that cow's milk doesn't? In many parts of the world, goat's milk is preferred to cow's milk. Even in the United States, the goat is gaining popularity. Goats eat less and occupy less grazing space than cows, and in some families the backyard goat supplies milk for family needs. Goat's milk is believed to be more easily digestible and less allergenic than cow's milk. Does it deserve this reputation? Let's disassemble goat's milk, nutrient-by-nutrient, to see how it compares with cow's milk.

Different fat. Goat's milk contains around ten grams of fat per eight ounces compared to 8 to 9 grams in whole cow's milk, and it's much easier to find lowfat and non-fat varieties of cow's milk than it is to purchase lowfat goat's milk. Unlike cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat's milk do not cluster together, making them easier to digest. Like cow's milk, goat's milk is low in essential fatty acids, because goats also have EFA-destroying bacteria in their ruminant stomachs. Yet, goat milk is reported to contain more of the essential fatty acids linoleic and arachnodonic acids, in addition to a higher proportion of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. These are easier for intestinal enzymes to digest.

Different protein. Goat milk protein forms a softer curd (the term given to the protein clumps that are formed by the action of your stomach acid on the protein), which makes the protein more easily and rapidly digestible. Theoretically, this more rapid transit through the stomach could be an advantage to infants and children who regurgitate cow's milk easily. Goat's milk may also have advantages when it comes to allergies. Goat's milk contains only trace amounts of an allergenic casein protein, alpha-S1, found in cow's milk. Goat's milk casein is more similar to human milk, yet cow's milk and goat's milk contain similar levels of the other allergenic protein, beta lactoglobulin. Scientific studies have not found a decreased incidence of allergy with goat's milk, but here is another situation where mothers' observations and scientific studies are at odds with one another. Some mothers are certain that their child tolerates goat's milk better than cow's milk, and mothers are more sensitive to children's reactions than scientific studies.

17. I love goats.

I'm also not too familiar with them. I think we'd get along well. I pulled a fire alarm when I was three. It took some talent. But it paid off. I think I like smart animals. Anything that's crazy is good with me. Except at night.

It's too nice to be in here this morning. Blue skies. But I can't start my day without DU.

6. did he mean viscously?

I make a lot of unpopular statements.

[kestrel91316]

14. Can't right now. Internet has gotten FUBAR again and can't get

16. And FP is a right wing hate site...I guess. Let's face it if we hate Bush and many of us do

then we will be called left wing haters by the corporate media.
