Eating lower organisms is correct because they do not have the capacity to consciously process their pain unlike humans, elephants and orcas. Pain is also expressed differently between different classes of animals (i.e. a reptile feels pain differently than a mammal), and plants also feel pain but we refuse to call it that so as to try and anthropomorphize and make animals closer to ourselves. Instead we simply call it reacting to stimulus which is what pain is anyway.

If you don't want to eat animals then don't. If you don't want to eat plants then don't. If you don't want to take drugs then don't. It's your body and you have domain over it, just don't force the way you live upon others.

I say it's fine because it's normal animal nature to hunt and eat


typical republican.

you don't realize that we are breeding them to kill them and eat them. we are literally enslaving lesser animals in order to eat them.

disgusting.


Nah

Are you a vegetarian or something?



Satan says

idk what's worse rutab thinking im a vegetarian for thinking the enslavement of animals for our nutrients or rutab unironically supporting donald trump for president of united states of america.

i bet rutab doesn't see anything wrong with donald trump's sons shooting african wildlife.

let's say you go vegetarian, people judge you because you are not vegan, then you're expected to only buy cruelty free products which is HARD seriously and whos to say humans are not being abused when products are being made? some ppl have to wear diapers bc they don't get bathroom breaks. no wonder that guy pissed in cheerios

i feel like its really impossible to get by in life without messing up someone or something one way or another, so instead of cutting corners in every part of your life why don't you just try to be a good person in ways you want to be and that's all

i mean, there really aren't many foods that i'd eat that can give me the proper nutrition, therefore my human life is more important than an animal whos going to get killed anyway because my purchases don't really matter on a large scale

Satan says

conservative minded people base their thinking around emotions and liberal minded people base their thinking around facts.

that's why climate change is a liberal thing and conservatives can't understand what climate change is.



Hoo boy that was a hoot to read, did you watch the democratic convention where it was a big cry fest, and calling Trump a big meanie? The entire platform of democrats today is guilt shaming people into voting democrat or just straight up pandering.

Republicans was just as idiotic with chants of lock her up and Trump being the nominee but its whatever.

All in all, Liberalism and Conservatism are just two opposite ways of thinking to the end, and, in my opinion it doesn't really matter what the end happens to be, because it will be bigger than all of us can ever hope to grasp


Try again

Hilary Clinton, at her most recent rally, said she was going to raise taxes on the middle class, and the very fact-based group of Democrats cheered with all their might at the goddess before them

A democrat isn't even a liberal anymore. They stand for the restriction of rights and privileges.
