Paul McCartney fires workers for eating meat

[dan67]

While listening to a local morning radio program. I heard that Paul McCartney has fired some touring workers for eating hamburgers on their lunch break. I found a comment from Ted Nugent at wacotrib.com concerning the firings.

The world might be having some ecological problems, but is this the path we want to go down? Not all of us are fortunate enough to live in the tropics, run around naked, and preach vegetarianism. Some of us who live in the colder climates need to eat meat to keep our body heat up. Would Mr. McCartney fire an Eskimo for being an Eskimo? Paul never was my favorite Beatle, this is further justification.

The larger issue is the fact that humanity is over running the Earth, and we are becoming too urbanized. Production of food in ever more crowded and mechanized facilities has greatly diminished the quality of life for the animals. There were once millions of bison on the Great Plains. The Native Americans hunted them, and used every part of them for food, clothing, and tools, but as part of their religion they respected the bison as being part of the circle of life. I am not saying that we should do everything like the Native Americans did. If we take it upon ourselves to do the responsible thing(not as part of a supposed Illuminati plan, but because it is the wise thing to do), to have smaller families, then we could gradually give room back to the animals.

Was Mr. McCartney wearing plastic shoes when he fired those workers? Yes? No? He was wearing leather shoes, yes? Being a hypocrite, right? :D

"Many celebrities - such as Sir Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, Moby, Alicia Silverstone - also refuse to use leather. "

" At the Walker there is a living Beatle to greet, wearing a smart grey suit and a pair of trainers (as a good vegetarian he refuses to wear leather shoes)."

If i owned a CD with that pompous arse hole on i would burn it right now. I wonder what they mean by touring workers? Did they have contracts etc, i hope he gets sued lol.

That imposter will be exposed.

[curtsibling]

Psychologically, this story speaks volumes about McCartney.

Vegetarian Hitler also forbade his aides from doing things like smoking.

PS
Not that I support the mind-control of smoking.

I hate to say it but this story might be false. It comes from right wing pro hunting arsehole Ted Nugent after all.

Ted Nugent: 'Live and let live' foreign idea to left

By Ted Nugent, Texas Wildman

Sunday, June 17, 2007

I like sizzling meat on the grill. Wild, huh? Anybody? Now, we all know ol' Nuge isn't by any stretch of the imagination a weirdo when it comes to an omnivorous diet.

Especially here in the great Republic of Texas, a smiling, drooling preference for succulent, protein-rich, nutritious backstrap over aromatic mesquite coals is as American and natural and right as Mom, apple pie and the flag. It's beautiful, really.

But a culture war rages against such universal, self-evident truths. It would be laughable if it were not so deranged. Some weirdos actually are on a crusade to outlaw the consumption of flesh.

I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger.

You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hard-core vegan bass player.

The entire agenda of the gazillion-dollar-financed joke known as PETA literally is dedicated to outlawing meat.

Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian's choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.

This is but one of many issues that represent the line drawn in the sand between liberals and conservatives.

Our own intrepid opinion editor at the Trib, my friend John Young, doesn't want to simply make the choice to be unarmed and helpless for himself. He has again recently insisted that you and I must also comply with his soulless condition of unarmed helplessness in "gun-free zones."

Nobody from our side wants to force anybody to have a gun or defend themselves. It is us, the conservatives, who are for individual choice.

Taxation, confiscation

As for the American left: One hears the words of Mao Tse-Tung come broiling out of the mouths of its heroes, when Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton et al unflinchingly push for "redistribution of wealth."

Central Texas' own Chet Edwards has the audacity to support taxing the after-tax life savings of American families following the death of a loved one.

The unfair, un-American, unconstitutional death tax literally destroys mom-and-pop businesses across the land. Think about it.

The wall that once symbolized communism is down, yet some still want to give it a shot. Dear God in heaven, help us.

Recently, Danny Glover, an otherwise fine actor, embarrassingly abused his uniquely American freedoms by siding with the communist Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez to finance what clearly appears to be an anti-American propaganda film. Nice.

Meanwhile, right there in that communist country, old Hugo is shutting down an entire media network for daring to challenge his heavy handed, corrupt, dictatorial policies.

This is a leader who has proudly sided with terrorist support groups, and Danny Glover gives him a big hug.

If a Venezuelan citizen were to do so with President Bush, I am confident that Chavez would not respect that individual's right to free expression.

Venezuela gives its citizens no right to free expression. Glover must be blinded by the trees in that forest.

Examine the agendas of the liberal "party of peace." Its members clearly don't believe you and I are smart enough or capable of making our own choices in life.

While conservatives "live and let live," the left arrogantly thinks it knows better than we do and will burden "we the people" with more government control until we are taxed to death.

Watch them. Listen, pay attention and blow whistles.

Educate your family, neighbors, friends, co-workers and hunting buddies on how dangerous such control is against the American Dream of individual pursuit of happiness.

Throw off the shackles of government-run slavery. Stand up for individual independence. Enough is enough.

Hey, Hugo and Hillary, leave me alone.

listen to you dicks.

a mans personal space was invaded her. not only that . his wishes on how one will conduct himself in his own personal place was ignored. FIRED> DOWN THE ROAD I SAY.


to right!!!

[auron]

McCartney died in 1966. Apparently. :confused:

[eternal_spirit]

Paul's the boss he can sack who he likes for what ever reason he likes. If indeed it's a true story.

Paul would get sacked if he worked at a none smoking workplace he'd be rolling and toking some sneaky spliffs.

[infinitetruth]

I agree that he should fire anyone that eats poisonous junk food lol, but for eating meat???

For one if the story is true he should have made it clear that he did not condone meat eating in his space on employment.

I am not against vegetarianism, neither am I against meat-eating.

What I am against is pumping animals full of antibiotics, feeding them gm junk and keeping them in dark cages, then killing everyday, whole families of animals on the same day without care or respect for anything.
