In 1926, the opporession of pickles evolved from one of individual bigots, to an incorporated opporession that would put pickles as slaves to the world, the formation of Mt. Olive Pickle Company, which is now the second largest pickling company in the USA. Pickles are pulled from childhood as young cucumbers where they are then stuffed into sealed vats of viniger brine. The helpless pickles are completely trapped and lack nurishment where they slowly shrival up but do not die, that way they completely lack any strength to resist the oppression.

After they are withered down to nothing more than a shadow of their former selves with no strength and no will, they are sold to individuals were they are forced to do a number of unspeakible things, some of the actual speakible ones are being sliced and diced to be put on your food as pickle slices or as relish, or even eaten whole with no regard to them. They are also stabbed and electrocuted for "science" even when we already have piles of scientific evidence as to what will happen, we torture them more just to watch. We also place them in the microwave just to watch them explode. And there are worse that I can't even say.

This latest form of slavery and torture is seeing it's heigth of popularity and it is only expected to get worse, unless we the people decide that pickles have rights too. Haven't we learned in the past that it is never right to judge something as "inferoir" to us? Have we not learned that equal rights apply to all and not just some? How can we call ourselves anything but hateful bigots until we free the pickles?

The movement is strong and growing fast underground. The time is soon. Will you be a part of it?


Free the pickles!!!

Mr. Elephant, this deserves a thread of its own, maybe a whole new category. I posted a picture of a pickle being electrocuted awhile back, but no one paid much attention. But before I commit to your cause, I need to know this: are ALL KINDS of pickles being oppressed, or just SOME kinds? I've heard that some kinds of pickles have actually been eliminated in a kind of Final Solution. I know I haven't seen a Sweet Dill pickle in a very long time. Was there a Sweet Dill Holocaust? Please let us know.

That was one of the "unspeakables," though it wasn't the dill that were wiped out, it was the Gherkin pickle from India. Though I'm still trying to dig up all the facts this they are very good at hiding the truth from the people.

You know I would say this is just a crock, but I'm old enough to remember and sadly say that I have relatives that have actually pickled a pickle in crocks......and they also made sourkraut in the same crock.

After making dill pickles and sourkraut my relatives not only made moonshine, but the dipped their pickles in it.:nana:

I heard this one on the radio and it got me at first.


Today, Obama appointed Bill Ayers as his Secretary of Defence.

I just about jumpped out of my seat in disbelief (but it was coming from a trusted source) until he said that it was just a joke.
