Someone cares.

Yeah, but we've mostly been arguing against you, so it doesn't really count.


It shows that you care enough to argue against me.

This reminds me of a cliche... When a conservative makes the conscious decision to not eat meat, he doesn't eat meat. When a liberal makes the decision to not eat meat, he tries to force the world to follow suit.

Proven that you're an ignorant retard who doesn't even deserve an opinion on any matter which involves a certain level of thinking and morality.


I completely agree. His arrogance about the subject is amazing.


You're just so hypocritical. The people on your side of the argument has been just as arrogant.

The only difference, I conceded that humans are designed to eat meat, but when faced with a difficult question, almost every single meat eater left the thread and ignored the question, with only dropship dude being man enough to admit that killing animals is wrong, even if he doesn't care enough to stop.

And then, you have the arrogance to call me arrogant, simply for disagreeing with you and not conforming to your way of thinking.

It's a forum, it's meant for people to express their ideas and beliefs and then debate them. I've expressed that I don't expect anyone to change, and I've merely stated my opinions, and then argued with the people who've argued with me.

I might be arrogant, but you're arrogant and a hypocrite.

Is this thread STILL alive?

Jeez, it's just over 1200 pieces of a huge argument over whether it's ok to eat meat or not. I guess I'll contribute by saying that I love me some bacon and that's something that'll never change.

quit preaching about animals being slaughtered, and that it's injustice to slaughter/eat animals Humens are animals


And we condemn people who slaughter humans!!!!!!

I don' think you understand human behavioral psychology fairly well.

See, most human morals are aimed at societal health and order. People who kill other humans disrupt society, cause fear, and cause detriment to the species, so of course we'd see it as bad. However, raising animals and killing them for food helps feed people and allows society to thrive.

Also, humans have been hunting and eating meat for hundreds of millenia. It's frankly silly to claim that we somehow aren't 'designed' to eat meat, when we've been doing it for as long as our species has existed. We're clearly an omnivorous species.

Allow me to ask you some questions. Have you ever swatted a fly? Do you think swatting a fly is immoral? How about stepping on a cockroach? Destroying a wasp's nest? Catching a mouse in a mouse trap? Shooting a rabid racoon?

My point is: Where you you draw the line here? At what point does killing an organism become 'wrong?' I think you'll find that where you put that line yourself is exactly as arbitrary as those who give humans special privilege.

Personally, I draw the line at organisms capable of sentient thought, and pets. Why? Because that's the point when it 'feels' wrong to me. I suppose empathy is the deciding factor to me; it's tough to empathize with an organism that can't really think. As for pets, it's just because I like them. Once again, arbitrary.

If you don't want to eat mean, feel free. That's your choice to make, but you shouldn't be so simplistic if you want to convince others.

I've been a veggie for 5 years. I don't force my beliefs on anyone. Someone eating steak/bacon/etc across the table isn't going to bother me at all. In fact, the smell of bacon is really good.

If everyone on Earth became a vegan, our live stock would be F**KED!

When have i said that the people supporting my point of view weren't arrogant? I never said that, and I agree with you when you say that there are some arrogant people on this side of the argument. I haven't said anything hypocritical, or even implied it, I've only pointed out how arrogant YOU were being.

If you want to be a vegetarian, i'm not going to stop you, or convince you to think otherwise, that's your decision. It just really pisses me off when people get arrogant.

Actually, you'll find he proves my point.

Your point is that you find it morally wrong to eat animals. You other point is that I don't care for anybody but myself because I'm human, so I don't think it's an efficient use of your Saturday trying to convince people on an internet forum to see your side of things. My point is that we shouldn't bother with animals until we as humans are all being treated equally, which I've stated multiple times in this thread and you haven't bothered coming up with an answer to yet.
