Humans are very capable killers, we are designed to kill, so well in fact that killing is what makes us the apex predator of the world, not because we are hard to kill (we are rather easy), so why is it that it is harshly frowned upon to kill another human being? Because it is universally known that it is morally wrong.

Just because we can kill animals, doesn't mean it's right to do so.


The reason it is harshly frowned upon for a human to kill another human is because its CANNIBALISM. CANNIBALISM is morally wrong to us. Any type of it is frowned upon whether it be humans eating other humans or fish eating other fish.Keep the arguments coming i can shoot them down all night while eating the meatloaf i just made.


No, murder cases are rarely because they want to eat the victim...

It's frowned upon, because taking another persons life is wrong, as is taking an animals. Who are you to value a life.


It is frowned upon because it goes against our natural instincts to keep our species alive.
shot down again


Our species is far from extinct though...

Bit early with that shot down.


how was my post in any way related to human extinction? I just said we don't like killing other humans because it goes against our instincts to keep our species alive. Please, if you are going to reply, give a relevant counter-argument.

I'm going to shoot an animal in the name of XIII Clutch or whatever. The animal will know that Bnet user caused his death.

More for me?


Moar for us.

Vegetarians like you, OP, are idiots. Bigots, all of you. Wretches. You are no better than the filthy swine you defend.
You will either shut the -blam!- up and let me consume whatever it is I wish to consume, or you shut the -blam!- up, let me eat AND suck my dick. There's no other option but that one.

Mmm, bacon sure is tasty. Too bad your poof mouths won't be having any. More for me, anyway.

I like you.

B12.

Explain.


Vitamin B12 is essential for life, without it you can't make blood, repair nerves, or effectively replicate DNA.

Our bodies can't make B12, and the only source of B12 is in animal protein. Even the B12 found in supplements is harvested from animal sources.

It's far from efficient.


Again, we're omnivores. We are not specialist eaters. We're not efficient at eating vegetation either.

Your main argument against meat eating is that we don't have a full set of carnivorous teeth. Guess what? We don't have a full set of herbivorous teeth either. We lack a diastema for one.


Probably the only good argument I've seen (concerning the carnivorous teeth). My argument still stands that we are efficient at eating vegetation, but not meat.


Your argument does not stand. His argument is fact, as per the FACT that we have a digestive ready to handle meat AND plants and none more than the other. Those who eat too much meat, have high iron contents in their blood as well as others.

Those who eat too many plants, often come across pale, thin and usually need to eat other items, to make up for wha they used to get in meat.


We are much more readily available to digest vegetation than meat. We can handle digesting meat, we aren't efficient at digesting it.

So no, it's not FACT.

One of my ideas.

Feline Doom : Steampunk mecha anime with kitties.

For free thought, think of this. If there are more cows, what will happen? They eat grass. The grass will decrease in their ecosystem. Then cows will die anyway. More animals start eating the dead bodies. Expecting more, they reproduce more. The other animals have no food left for children and all start to die. Then everyone dies. Happy yet?

It's healthy to have protein and some meat in your diet?

No. It is a fact we have a digestive system able to handle BOTH. None more so than the other, a balanced diet of meat and plants.

We do not have a digestive system specialised for meat. Fact. We do not have a digestive system specialised for eating plants. Fact. We eat both, our system handles both. Period. Stop thinking everyone else can't eat meat, cause your digestive system shuns it.

Point?



Well, he said that we don't kill other humans to preserve our species. But there are plenty of spare humans to go around.

Overall humans killing other humans would be detrimental for evolution, that is, passing down genes. Just because the human population is large it doesn't it make it more likely for genes that encourage intra-species homicide to become more prevalent. The genes that are most beneficial for reproduction and survival are the ones the will be passed down. In the case of humans, genes that don't support humans murdering others are favorable thus creating a sense of morality.

Articulate on this more. How is it that we are more readily available to handle the digestion of vegetation?

Also, you're starting to counter yourself here. You're saying that we can handle meat, whereas you were saying humans have no reason to eat meat at all?

Starting to come over to the lightside I see.
