Now talking about the pigs you got to remember one thing.
We got domesticated pigs and we got wild pigs looking like this guy.
.....
Now if you look at the teeth of a domesticated pig you will find a total different set of teeth as you can see here
......
Firstly if you look at the domesticated pig teeth you will see the remnants of the tusk teeth, which (I believe) are removed by the farmer.
Secondly, pig tusks are used by the pig for fighting with other pigs and for digging. if you actually look at all their other teeth that they actually use for eating you will see they are incredibly similar to human teeth. They are so similar in fact that they are often misidentified as human teeth in archaeological digs

It means that as the teeth are different also the digestive system is different.
While a while pig need to kill and eat meat as well as other veg. items it need a shorter digestive system than a domesticated pig which is fed manly with non meat items that is why the digestive system vary from the two.
Firstly, you should show evidence for this. However even if what you say is true what essentially what you are saying is that pigs bodies will adapt to whatever diet they are fed on. Why then would the same not be true of humans?

CARNIVORE: 3 to 6 times body length
HERBIVORE: 10 to more than 12 times body length
OMNIVORE: 4 to 6 times body length
HUMAN: 10 to 11 times body length
This is not an accurate measure for omnivorous pigs whose, “small intestines have an average length of 15 to 20 m”Source. For those of you who aren't entirely familiar with the metric system a pig has a body length a little over one meter.

The human intestine is ten times longer than the length of the body......

The vegan skeptic site is very poor, it has no references. The second reference is better, but I don't think you have read it. It says that " the length of the entire human intestine can range from 7.5 to 8.5 meters (25 to 28 feet)."
Now unless you think your average person is under a meter in hight, what you say must be complete nonsense. Lets say the average person is 1.6m tall ( which is a bit short, but I am being generous to your argument) 8 divided by 1.6 is 5. Therefore according to your own source, the length of the entire intestine is 5 times the length of the body, which according to the vegan skeptic site means we are either a carnivore or an omnivore. Do you agree? According to your own sources we are omnivores.
As a side note the pigs in the study I quoted were almost 2m in body length, which is why they had a a small intestine length 7 times that the length of their bodies.

When i used to drive taxis in Sydney in the 70 and 80 me and other drivers went to court several times to back up one another in the fight against smokers who took us to court for not letting them smoke in the taxi.
After several times that the courts could not find us guilty finally the N.S.W. gov. pass a law that prevent anyone to smoke in the taxis if the driver put a sign on the window.
Soon after the gov. decided to forbid smoking also in bus and trains.
Soon after follow in the public offices, then in the shopping centers.
But taxis were the first to win the fight.
Thanks to God.
While I congratulate you for being part of a movement to improve the working conditions of taxi drivers, you are exaggerating your own importance when it comes to the general decline of smoking and the enactment of legislation internationally to protect working environments and reduce smoking. This was part of a larger cultural trend supported, as I say, by firm evidence of the harm it causes to health. If you were to make crazy arguments against smoking as you are doing now with regards to meat, you would have undermined those efforts to reduce smoking.
