Opposing Views: Metal 'Protest' Underwear from PETA is on the Way

Metal 'Protest' Underwear from PETA is on the Way

Opinion by PETA
(February 03, 2010) in Society / Animal Rights

By Karin Bennett

While the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and privacy advocates play hot potahto over proposed full-body scans at airport security checkpoints, we at PETA say, "Bring 'em on." Pourquoi? Well, several reasons, really:

1) Heaven knows, we at PETA aren't shy about flashing a little skin in order to save animals.
2) Day in and day out, TSA employees face an endless line of frazzled fliers in dirty socks. No wonder they get so bored.
3) To save animals' lives, PETA is ready to liven things up at security checkpoints with our new (drum roll, please) …

Metal underwear! That's right: Coming soon to security checkpoints everywhere, TSA employees will get an eyeful of our message to NASA as caring individuals educate TSA employees about NASA's plans to blast as many as 30 monkeys with one huge dose of radiation. The agency will then imprison the animals by themselves in tiny steel cages and subject them to years of tests in order to assess how the radiation damages their brains and bodies. Unlike the rays emitted by airport body scans, this extreme radiation may cause brain tumors and other types of cancer.

Officials at the TSA have already been alerted that PETA's metal underwear is on the way. But we are wondering—will you expose TSA employees to the truth about NASA's experiments on your next flight?

Regarding Opinion

Lets see here. NASA is going to

sacrifice 30 monkeys to test radiation effects on the humans scanned, do I have this right?

I dont care if they blast 3000 monkeys if it will save a plane load of people.

And some might say this may be overkill, to over-expose the monkeys with this much radiation. I will agree with that. I would prefer to see Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck in their place.

    I am proud to be, I have no qualms about my statement.

    - Proud to be a D-Bag?
      
      A bit abrasive.
      
      What kind of monkeys are we talking about here? Like Chimpanzees? Because if that's the case, fuck 'em. I wouldn't trust one standing ten feet in front of me.

- Fake.
  
  So much for maintaining any semblance of a moral high-ground.
  
  Suggesting murdering those with which you disagree is something which brings you pride? Thanks for the insight into your personality.

  - While I do disagree with the people
    
    mentioned, it's not that simple.
    
    There is nothing useful that is ever presented by these people. They are simply stirring the caldron of conflict and promoting hate. If they were interested in anything other than money and self promotion they would actually be doing something to right all the wrongs they dramatize with great zeal. Anyone can criticize, but your actions prove your worth.
    
    And for the most part monkeys are relatively harmless.

    - What is complicated about it?
      
      You disagree, and would like to see them killed .
      
      Seems pretty cut and dry. It also seems quite barbaric.

    - You, too
      
      Well, I have seen nothing useful presented by you, bhall. You simply seem to just be stirring the caldron of conflict and hate. If you were interested in anything other than self-promotion, you would be out doing something useful yourself. Since I have witnessed no effort on your part, I deem you should be subjected to rediation poisoning to a level that would lead to your death.
      
      Happy about that statement? No, then maybe, just maybe, you might want to rethink your statement you are so proud of. Or maybe you just think you are better than everyone else and we should all start to worship you. Let us know.

      - Well damn Moby
        
        You seem a little out of control tonight.
        
        I may not be doing anything about the issues that these people beat on continuously, but then I am not on television with a big audience to influence. They are paid millions of dollars to sway people.
        
        My opinion effects no one, except apparently you and Solar. You guys need to spend your emotions on something more worthwhile.

        Thanks
        
        Thanks for completely missing the point. Come on, you are not dense. Yet, when you make silly statements calling for the killing of people because you do not like their politics , what do you expect? Agreement? Further, when you make your silly statements, you contribute to the problem, that we can not, in a civil manner, discuss issues. Do you really want to sink to the level or Beck or Olberman? Or can you rise above and take the high road and have a civil discussion?

        Stay with me through the first part......
        
        Not long ago I took a personality profile test and as a part of the test the following was included:
        22% of my personality was builder
        Usually very popular. Deep attachment to home and family .
        Calm demeanor and low anxiety. Often consistent, loyal and protective.
        31% of my personality was negotiator
        Excels at seeing the big picture, long-term planning and consensus building.
        An intuitive thinker who is flexible, verbal and socially skilled. Imaginative,
        empathetic and nurturing.
        
        Doesnt reflect my attitidute in the original post, here's why!
        
        The reason that I am including this in my response is that I do not consider my self hard to deal with and I think I am fairly reasonable. I have been known, on this website to retract what I have said and acknowledge that I was wrong , That was I think invloved with one of Don Earls' comments. (But he is pissed off at me now)
        
        In any event, I try to see both sides of an issue. But I just can't listen to ANYONE who just continually beats down one person or a group, or organization.
        
        And I really believe in communication. And right now there is very little communication between people that hold our future.
        
        I don't believe that Obama has been right about everything, but I do believe there should be an attempt to discuss the things that are not agreed upon. That is where I get pissed off. The Democrats are trying to push legislation through, and the Republicans are stonewalling. Where is that communication. And with the Bush administration it was the same thing. I thought 9/11 had brought that to an end. It didnt last long.
        
        I have said all of that to get to the point of the original statement. I do not believe that someone that has influence over as many people as the ones I mentioned should broadcast continual tiraids about the every little thing they can find to damn whoever it is that they are lambasting. It does not lead to communication.
        
        But just like our little discussion, that does not seem to take place here either. And I was wrong in saying that they should be killed . I do think the monkey deal is fine. I hope this makes sense, it is hard to say in text that which a conversation in person can fully "communicate".
