(Just for fun) Vegetarian diet or Carnivorous diet?

[Robscure]

So why are you ignoring the other threads where people have already thought about it?

Why are you so concerned with when/where I post?

[Zadock]

So do I.


You are making a distinction between human beings and animals and then you attribute them human emotional faculties you invalidate your own point by doing so. Animals kill each other for food all the time, do they feel remorse? No.

If you really wanted a discussion, why ignore all the other good points people have made? Instead it doesn't look like you want a discussion, you just want to rant. You're giving us vegetarians a bad name.

[Robscure]

Sorry, I'm vegetarian too, but your arguements are silly and you just seem to want to rant rather than actually take part in reasonable debate.

Why are you apologizing?

Instead of only accusing my arguments of being silly, and accusing me of only wanting to rant, why don't you support that with some sort of fact?

Where have I given a silly argument? Why is it silly to question the life of another creature that isn't human?

[Funkstar]

Remorse for using animals as meet is a very (very) modern concept. Neolithic man certainally didn't have these hangups

So why should we?

[Moby-Dick]

If you take a knife and cut your cats throat and throw it in the garbage can, for example...

I guess you think this is an okay thing to do.

well done for trying to put words in my mouth - I'm sure you have more sucess trying to brainwash small children with that kind of line.

a) my Cat isn't bred for meat
b) I dont live in a licenced abbatoire
c) killing for no purpose is as you correctly suggest not right , but we are not talking about killing for pleasure.

I already have listed reasonable arguments, in many of the other threads.

That's not true at all, I've addressed all of the logical and intelligent points made, even addressed the illogical ones.

You are just slandering me.

I haven't seen any reply to the points made in previous threads.

Yes, animals do feel remorse.

So you're making false assertions also.

What points are you referring to? Maybe I missed one because I was being bombarded by silly pictures and slander.

Libel. This is a forum, it's all written down, that makes it libel.

[menthel]

I just peed myself laughing that you think that video shows a kindly hippo!

Slander: "a false, malicious statement (spoken or published), especially one which is injurious to a person's reputation; the making of such a statement; to utter a slanderous statement " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slander

Libel: "In law, defamation (also called vilification, slander, and libel) is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressively stated or implied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government or nation" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel

ok I think we've just crossed the "just for fun" boundary.

time to change the topic.

Ironically, this is a PETA tactic:
