...or you could grow, or catch it your self. Doing that usually gives one a more sober attitude regarding eating. 

I´m sad to say, from what I´ve seen, it appears US meat production is far worse than that shown in AlphaF´s video. I will not post one, they are just too disturbing. I can´t say what we do to vegetables and fruits are that wonderful too...what with genetic modification and all.    

I grow much of my food. Growing it myself gives me to more respect and aware of the cycle of life.

All we eat was alive, we need to respect all those creatures who give up their life to sustain us, and that includes vegetables and fruit.

That is why, if you are a meat eater you get your meat that is farm raised free range, this is usually sold at local butcher shops not big supermarket chains.

Buy your eggs from a local producer that have free range chickens.

Personally I do not eat meat, my vegetables are bought at a local farmer´s market.

I would rather give my money to someone where I see the chickens and the animals well tended too and that he grows his own vegetables and not a supermarket chain.

Stop all this spectulation on if she had a sexual relationship or not. The fact of the matter is someone´s wife ane mother was horribly murdered after being beaten. I feel really really bad for this poor woman, an in particular for her family who is having to go through hearing an reading all the terrible things people are saying about a wife and mother. 

"Police said he was not a suspect.

Taylan K’s lawyer Ozkan Polat said Friday that his client denies the claims, calling them “wholly untrue”.

Ozkan Polat insists the pair had “no emotional relationship” and had met for a cup of tea as friends, adding that his client comes from a “good family and completed a master’s program abroad…He’s very demoralized”.

What is the point of speculation on her sex life? Are people looking for an excuse for her brutal murder? Let the poor lady rest in peace, hasn´t she paid enough? Let´s not make her children suffer anymore regarding silly speculation as to their mother´s moral character.

The whole story is odd. It mentioned she was from Staten Island, which is one of the 5 buroughs of NYC. It is one that was very hard hit by Super Storm Sandy just a couple of months ago. 

The articles don´t say much about her, who she was, what she did. May she rest in peace.

Could you do this in English, please? Provide the Turkish too, but there are people here who are not fluent in Turkish who are interested in this topic.

You have an interesting point. I would say it´s more a matter of political "Christianity", than any real spiritual/religious sentiment. It was, and still is a matter of war strategy to forment discontent and revolt among different groups, in this case, the Ottoman Empire. Of course, "Christian" groups were certainly seen as an exploitable factor. 

The reality of the situation is IMHO, war, any war, is genocide, thus any group that engages in war has no right to call another genocidal. In any event, to punish a country retroactively, even before there was a Genocide Convention, is absurd. You shouldn´t use today´s standards to judge yesterday´s actions. 

Certainly, the slave trade, which involved many countries, was genocidal as were many actions taken by various empires, but nothing is said. I don´t think any former empire has a right to speak, or accuse others, given the historic records of empires with the native peoples, none are without genocidal actions towards the indiginous peoples. 

If you look at the dates of the various countries official recognition of the charge, it´s even more obvious, it´s a political strategy.

Is that why all the countries that recognize the so called armenian genocide are christian? Just a coincidence? There is not an armenian diaspora in most of the christian countries that recognize it. How many Armenians are there in Poland or Argentina?

I think you are showing some naivite also. You seem bent on blaming "Americans" for the ills of the world, but I wonder if you have ever actually been in the USA, and if you have been, where that was. The USA is an incredibly diverse country. 

The issue is the haves and the have nots and the continueing effort to get more, take more and give less. It has nothing to do with any ethicity, religion or race. 

It´s the International oligarthic 1% keeping control of resources, it´s always about resources, power and control of r e s o u r c e s. 

It´s divide and conquer.....it goes on and on and amazingly....it works because people fall into the trap.

I don´t know that it is a Christian thing as much as a matter of who has been promotng their point of view (agenda). 

There is a large Armenian diaspora population in the USA who have been here for around 100 years, they are well organized and very vocal regarding the issue.  They rarely miss an opportunity to expound on the subject, always portraying themselves as innocent victims of savage barbaric blood crazed xenophobic Turks. who tried to erase them from the world just because they are Christians.  

Most Americans know little about history, and they don´t seem to care.  They fail to consider the fact that the time period was WWI, the time of the Bolshevic Revolution, the first major world flu epidemic (which killed at least 40, million persons world wide. 

They have never heard of Tashnak or Hunchak parties that were dedicated to terrorism as an official polity, starting in 1887.

It is only recently Turkey really started countering the acusations, however,  a lot of ground needs to be make up. It is only recently Turkey started countering the acusations, however,  a lot of ground needs to be make up. Unfortunately,  in the USA, one is expected  to mount an energetic denial, the one who speaks the loudest gets believed. 

Most Americans have never read the Hunchak official program 

III. The Hunchakian program advocated revolution as the only means of reaching the immediate objective. The arena of revolutionary activity was designed as Turkish Armenia. The Party believed that the existing social organisation in Turkish Armenia could be changed by violence against the Turkish government and described the following methods. Propaganda, Agitation, Terror, Organisation, and Peasant and Worker Activities.

The reason they don´t seem to care, and are ignorant of history is because they are working day and night just to survive, which leaves little time for either self examination, and certainly no time to delve through historic documents to understand why things have evolved as they have. 

People in many other countries think the USA is rich and Americans have easy lives. That´s just not true. It´s an illusion, a fantasy for most here.

So as you are from America, could you tell us why christians don´t recognize the Turkish genocide by christian Armenians?
