Yeah, I second the bullshit motion. I’m surprised 80% had the chutzpah to pretend they’d actually do it.

In fact, this question is precisely why I made the decision to stop eating meat a few weeks back.

It’s sooo hard though since pigs (especially the bacon part) and cows are quite tasty… but I figured that if I didn’t even like consciously acknowledging meat to be the flesh of an animal, then it would be disingenuous of me to eat it.

(Still eat most seafood though; I have no issues watching fish and scallops turned into food for my the benefit of my taste buds.)

I would not kill a cow because they are so helpless. They can’t even move, I’d rather go deer hunting twice a week before work to get my meat, than kill a cow. I love meat, but not enough to kill the cow, and I love hunting. The 79% is definitely bullshit, guys talk a big game, but killing an animal that big and helpless is not easy.

I dont see your logic. The past month has been dear season, and all those hunters go out there and harvest their own meat, field dress it in the woods, and then process it, and then grill it.

I would do the same to a cow.

I think the hard part is not killing the cow, but actually carving it up to eat it. That is where it would start to get gross.

My deal is that percentage, in a way, is like a value of something, and since you put the dollar sign before a number, why not the %? Its nice to be up in front about the non-letter symblos so you know what you’re dealing with right off the bat. Thats why i love the upside down ? to start of a question in spanish. If I knew how to make my computer type it, I’d use it all the time.

I misspelled ‘predators’ in my first comment. I am an idiot.

Well, eick, the question was how many men SAID they would do it. It wasn’t “we gave 100 men an axe and gave them the chance to kill a cow, and later eat it, how many did?” You’re right, a lot of people would say it but not do it, but isn’t that what you are supposed to guess? How many people SAID it? I think if you are a contestant and drew carey essentially asked “how many american men want people to think they have balls” I would guess the answer would be on the higher side.

eick – get me on this show. or: you get on the show, I’ll be the guy on the side telling you to “lock it in” and then we share the money.

Hmmm. I have a really hard time figuring out what other people are thinking. That’s why I’m wonderfully antisocial.

Personally, I’d have no problem actually butchering the cow, but I don’t know that I’d actually be able to kill it. Maybe I’d be able to, but I don’t think I’d want to eat it right away.

What’s your deal with putting the % sign before a number instead of after it?

Good point about hot women asking questions though.

I would do it. Burgers and steaks are delish and cows are basically pointless animals, made for predetors to munch on.

a machete is a little brutal, but it looked fun in apocalypse now.

i’m hungry now! mooooo!

%79 would not do it, my guess would be %50.

They shouldn’t have hot sounding girls give these polls because it skews the numbers. Dudes want to sound harcore so they say they’ll do it to impress, and girls HATE other girls and therefore will always disagree with each other, hence the %10. Is it a coincidence that %10 of people are gay?

They should put in a second question, like: 1) would you kill a cow? %79 of men: yes Would you really? %29 (bashfully) no…
