Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I also bring this up in people who get overly defensive about their (excessive) meat consumption. I hear the argument that we evolved to eat meat and they want to eat a "natural" diet and this involves eating chicken breast and steak every day.
I mean don't get me wrong, I also eat meat sometimes, but I do realize that there is no good reason to do so. Indeed it is hypocritical of me, knowing how it is both bad for the environment and morally wrong to kill an animal for my consumption when I can get all the nutrients in it from elsewhere, be it "natural" via food choices or "synthetic" via supplements. Because sure as fuck it's also not natural to have cooked pasta with brussel sprouts, tomato sauce, a grotesquely large chicken breast, with a dessert of blueberries and yoghurt in the wintertime. Like, just own it. Just admit there is no good reason other than I like it and that the choice is very self serving.
And yes, bring on the GMOs.
