I plan to retire in my 40's. First ting I am going to do is what ever I am using to wake me up, which currently is a $15 alarm clock from Wal-Mart that buzzes so loud I wake up as if it was a fire alarm, I am going to throw off the highest mountain my little Indian butt can climb. I do not want to be rich. I want to buy land 100 miles from the nearest town, build me a cabin, have my horse, and live off the land.

Which is why women should not waste their time with what they actually don't want.



While people can and do change over time, #2 and #3 are unrealistic expectations.

So true! Same goes for men.

9 Reasons Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You a Meat-Eater



Reason #1 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: The Hippo

Not only do most mammals, including herbivores, have canine teeth; the largest canine teeth of any land mammal belong to a true herbivore: the hippopotamus. Hippos are extremely territorial and aggressive; their sword-like canines, which can reach a terrifying sixteen inches in length, are used for combat and play no role in feeding. The hippo’s diet consists of grass, on which it grazes at dusk.



Reason #2 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: The Gorilla

Gorillas are almost exclusively herbivorous. Mountain gorillas prefer a diet of foliage — leaves, stems, pith, and shoots — and a small amount of fruit. Lowland gorillas also eat leaves and pith, but they eat more fruits, and, occasionally, tiny ants or termites. Gorillas’ giant canines have nothing to do with eating meat.



Reason #3 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: The Saber-Toothed Deer

Say hello to my little friend: the saber-toothed deer. You read that right. It’s not photo shop, it’s just a tiny deer with giant fangs. Musk deer, as they’re officially known, are herbivores who live in the forested mountains of Southern Asia. They’re around 2 feet tall, weigh between 15 and 37 pounds, and the males’ elongated canine teeth form saber-like tusks which they use in territorial disputes, or when competing for mates. So what kind of food do musk deer tear into with those vicious canines? The menu is a virtual gore-fest: leaves, flowers, grasses, mosses and lichens.



Reason #4 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: The Gelada Baboon

Geladas are the only primates who primarily eat grass – grass blades make up to 90% of their diet. The rest consists of flowers, rhizomes, roots, herbs, small plants, fruits, creepers, bushes and thistles. Insects may be eaten, but only rarely. Geladas use their sharp, two-inch canines to attack rivals or potential predators.



Reason #5 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: Camel Fangs!

Camels are herbivores with an average lifespan of 40 years. They eat foliage, dry grasses and desert vegetation — mostly thorny plants. Sharp canine teeth in both the upper and lower jaws enable them to crush woody plants for food.



Reason #6 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: The Javelina

The Javelina, or peccary, is a furry cousin of the pig, found in the deserts of southwestern U.S., and in Central and South America. Primarily herbivorous, javelina eat a variety of native plant foods including agave, mesquite beans, prickly pear, roots, tubers, nuts, and other fruits and vegetation. Their spear-like canine teeth are used for self defense, and to shred cactus pads, a primary source of nourishment. Thanks, little fur pig, for demonstrating once again that plenty of plant-eaters have canine teeth; even huge, fierce stabby ones.



Reason #7 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: Comparative Anatomy

In her new book, Mind If I Order The Cheeseburger?, Sherry F. Colb discusses the comparative anatomy of carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. “[M]ammalian carnivores and omnivores share a number of physical attributes that make them well suited for killing and tearing apart their prey. They have a wide mouth opening, relative to head size; a simple jaw joint that operates as a stable hinge for effective slicing but which is ill-suited to side-to-side motion; and dagger-like teeth spaced apart to avoid trapping stringy debris. They also have sharp claws. (2) The mammalian carnivores and omnivores additionally have huge stomachs that enable gorging, an important capacity in animals who tend to average only about one kill per week. (3) These animals also have a very low gastric pH (which means their stomachs are very acidic), enabling the breakdown of highly concentrated protein as well as the killing of dangerous bacteria that typically colonize decaying flesh. (4)



…Each of these traits enables the lion or bear to use her body to kill prey. Herbivorous animals, by contrast, have fleshy lips, a small mouth opening, a thick and muscular tongue, and a far less stable, mobile jaw joint that facilitates chewing, crushing, and grinding. Herbivores also generally lack sharp claws. (14) These qualities are well-adapted to the eating of plants, which provide nutrients when their cell walls are broken, a process that requires crushing food with side-to-side motion rather than simply swallowing it in large chunks the way that a carnivore or omnivore swallows flesh.



Herbivores have digestive systems in which the stomach is not nearly as spacious as the carnivore’s or omnivore’s, a feature that is suitable for the more regular eating of smaller portions permitted with a diet of plants (which stay in place and are therefore much easier to chase down), rather than the sporadic gorging of a predator on his prey. (15) The herbivore’s stomach also has a higher pH (which means that it is less acidic) than the carnivore’s or omnivore’s, perhaps in part because plants ordinarily do not carry the dangerous bacteria associated with rotting flesh. The small intestines of herbivores are quite long and permit the time-consuming and complex breakdown of the carbohydrates present in plants. In virtually every respect, the human anatomy resembles that of herbivorous animals (such as the gorilla and the elephant) more than that of carnivorous and omnivorous species. (16) Our mouths’ openings are small; our teeth are not extremely sharp (even our “canines”); and our lips and tongues are muscular. Our jaws are not very stable (and would therefore be easy to dislocate in a battle with prey), but they are quite mobile and allow the side-to-side motion that facilitates the crushing and grinding of plants.



Our stomachs are only moderately acidic, a fact that becomes salient around Thanksgiving, when even slightly undercooked dinners of turkey flesh result in many cases of food poisoning from the illness-causing bacteria that easily survive in our stomachs. (17) Like herbivores and unlike carnivores and omnivores as well, we have long small intestines, enabling the digestion of complex carbohydrates, a process that begins in our mouths, where we, like the committed herbivores, have carbohydrate-digesting enzymes as well. (18)



Does any of this mean that people are incapable of eating and digesting animal products? Of course not. With weapons to kill animals, we do not need dagger teeth, and with fire to cook flesh, we can usually avoid the pitfalls of a stomach that is ill-equipped to kill the pathogens that populate raw flesh.



Despite our flexibility in accommodating animal-based foods, however, it nonetheless remains clear that we are anatomically well suited to plant-based eating…[A]nimal-based foods are unnecessary for us, and they carry significant costs and risks. While it is beneficial to have complex plant carbohydrates slowly make their way through our very lengthy small intestines, the same cannot be said for having meat rotting in our intestines for extended periods of time. (19)



However much people may enjoy eating animal products, then, nature does not unambiguously commit us to, or reward us with good health for, consuming them. Our nature is quite different from that of lions, and our choices about what we eat are accordingly far more flexible and correspondingly susceptible to moral scrutiny. Where we have another choice—indeed a more healthful choice—for which our anatomy and physiology amply equip us, we cannot simply invoke nature to justify what we do. It is true that we could not reasonably accuse lions of acting immorally in consuming animals. But simply put, we are not lions.”

Reason #8 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: Science Confirms Humans Have No Biological Requirement For Animal Products

Leading government and public health organizations worldwide now acknowledge that a vegan diet is not only a viable option for people of any age, but that eating plant foods instead of animal-based foods can confer significant health benefits, including reduction in incidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, and some types of cancer.



American Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, the U.S.’s oldest, largest and foremost authority on diet and nutrition, also recognized that humans have no inherent biological or nutritional need for animals products: “It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.” For more information, see the full article, Catching Up With Science: Burying the “Humans Need Meat” Argument.



Reason #9 Your Canine Teeth Don’t Make You A Meat-Eater: You Have a Choice

Many people insist that eating animals is “natural” — and therefore morally neutral — because other animals eat animals. But it’s important to realize that, with a few exceptions, when humans kill other animals for food, we’re not doing what animals do in nature. Humans have no biological need to consume meat or any animal products. When animals kill other animals for food, they do as they must, in order to survive; they have no choice in the matter. Many humans, on the other hand, do have a choice, and when people with ample access to plant-based foods choose to consume animals anyway — because they can, or because they like the taste — they are not killing from necessity, as animals (and some humans in crisis or subsistence situations) do. Whether we’re talking about a lion taking down a water buffalo, or a human in some remote or impoverished location with no alternative to eating animals: these are acts of survival, and do not equate to, nor justify, the unnecessary exploitation and killing of animals for profit and pleasure.



Farmed animals are individuals with distinct personalities and emotions, just like our own cats and dogs. They feel affection, they form deep friendships, they long to be safe and happy, and to be free from fear and pain. Most of all, they share in common with us the desire to go on living. When we have access to plant-based foods, and understand that we have no need to consume animal products, then the question of eating animals really comes down to this basic question: when able to freely choose, would you rather help an animal, or harm one? If you believe it is better to help than to harm, then veganism is the only consistent expression of your values.

Wow, that'a a lot to digest...just like a thick juicy steak. ^_^

I actually learned a lot, and I'm a meat eater. I don't eat baby animals however, so no lamb or veal for me.



So - we can use our canine teeth to puncture one for blood. Vampires will be vampires, after all.

My salad tastes just fine, thank you.

Oh Lord, save me. Now.

Oh it's true...It's true! LOL!

You're not fooling me!!! I found this pic on your fb!!! You, having savoring thoughts of a grilled veggie sandwich!

LMAO!!!!

Hahaha! You all crack me up!

Damn. That's a lot of bling, dude.

You are a rather disturbing individual, you know that?

Tell me about it lol

Complaining can be fun and a stress reliever. It depends on how you do it. Making fun of a situation or even just ranting to let off steam can be a good thing. Sometimes there's nothing else you can do. But when you can do something, choosing complaining over doing something isn't good. Sometimes it can take a person awhile to find a way out of their situation, or their bad habits.

And after all of these years, I thought that that was one of my mom's quotes.

lol

Make it back in one piece, so you can tell us all about it!

GGGGGRRRRRR!

That's exactly what I thought! Haha!

OMG this is something that happened to me more than once!!!!

And of all of your muscles, I bet the yappity yap mouth

muscles get the most workout.

That depends on how well behave she's been. ^_-

No, she'd probably stab you in the neck;)

well, if they're like me.

I'd stab you in the neck just for the ecard. LMFAO.

Well now don't I feel the love...LMAO!

That would probably end up working sadly on some women I know.. xD Lol.

You really believe that if I have a knife, I'll actually make you a sandwich?

Wow...you're not too bright.

LOL!

Isis didn't need those condiments...



Here is your wonderful sandwich!! Loaded with sprouts! YUM!

Haha!

I don't like generic condiments.

I'm waiting for you to make my sandwich.

Make sure to wash your hands first.

And don't stick your dick in anything, please.

Awe!!! ♥

Oh my gosh! That's awesome!

Now that was cool!

My first avatar was only an eye.

Voting would be easy.... the EYES have it. :-)

LOL...too damn funny!

Not me.

My fat ass is gonna' have a seat, and eat a sandwich.

Fortune cookies lie.

Yes. It must be absolutely fantastic to have No worries.

I don't have enough food, either, but I don't work out. Great you lost some! :)

I thought you liked pussy a lot, too??? =^.^=

I'm crying too...from laughing too hard! LMAO!

Not a clue...

Here's a clue...Her profile HOWLS!

Still...not a clue. Pretty girl though.

Last clue...Her profile name is the opposite of ColdReality....

Hot Fantasy? Hell - I don't know. LOL

FeverDreams.

Yeah! ((Claps))

Wow...that does look like her! Duh!

o.O Does she?

Yes!

Welcome to the world where everyone cares only for their own asses.. Where no one knows anymore what" to love " really means.. What is honesty, respect and all the values of relationship.. Where is the easy way not to appreciate things but just give up and find another person who is more blind not to see this.. And so on.. So better would be just face it the truth

and be like them but of course our hearts wont give us peace inside cuz this is not who you are.. Thought... Hugs

Maybe by the time you get to wife #7, a la Elizabeth Taylor style, that'll be it!

...Go back to sleep.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! >:D

Congrats!

Typo corrected

Yeah, pretty much. The only exception to this is when an adult agrees to move into their lover's home. In that case, the home owner shouldn't pull that card IF they want their lover to continue to live their. However, at the same time, I wouldn't advise the other partner moving in and then trying to CHANGE everything in the early stage with the reasoning that they are just trying to feel like it's their home too. Take it slowly!

Fucking A! What site did you find that on?

It's a consolidation of multiple sites, but I did find this one that gave me ideas..http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mhj45mhek/introduction-37/

Awesome stuff. People think I'm crazy because I google homes and castles all the time. There's a castle for sale in my mother's home town, I really want it, lol

Ha! I do that too! ^_^

Most likely she's fighting to defend herself from the fuglies who kept picking on her?

LOL!

This is so majorly fucked up...lol
