The War on Right demonstrates the intolerance of the Left. We are all humans with different perspectives. Why are so many embracing such hatred for others who hold different views? Intolerance, hatred, acceptance and love are the true issues we face. If someone else feels uncomfortable with someone or something, why are do many ready to demonize them? If it is not a legal or moral issue, we ALL need to show respect in that difference, or we are NO BETTER and are simply pointing fingers and throwing gas on the fire. If someone else does not agree or like what I think, say, do, feel or say, it is not right for me to assault them. And ASSAULT is exactly what many of us are doing.

>Steinmetz said he and his wife would rather pull out of the events than ruin them with potential rioters and picketers.

Yeah, ok. People are really gonna show up and riot over your goats. This story amounts to "family decided not to do an event, blames mean messages." And the fact that the guy linked to an article fear mongering about vegan extremists ties the whole thing in a bow.

Edit - oh, and they booked two events specifically appealing to vegans and vegetarians before this totally real story

I actually didn't know this about PA, but I did know this about Texas (was born and raised there lol). There were a few cities in the countryside around Austin Texas that speak like a mixture of German, Polish and English, and they also make the best kolaches on the planet lol

Edit: I made it sound like there were whole countries around Texas' capitol, but I really meant "not big cities like Houston" lol

I lost my job to goat snuggling. The pandemic made it easy for me since I worked from home to sneak out to my local farm and just take a couple snuggles here and there. Thought it wasn’t harming anyone.

But when I returned back to the office, I couldn’t stop. I just couldn’t. I tried snuggling with other animals like dogs, cats, and birds but it just wasn’t the same. I had to have more. Eventually I was snuggling goats in the office thinking I could hide them.

Boss called me into his office and HR was there. Sent to goat rehab and eventually got clean. But then I saw them again at the Kutztown Fair this year and I lost it. This time I stopped showing up to work and was fired.

Stay away from goat snuggling, it’s a very dangerous road to go down.
