    and when that doesn't work switch back to meat.


    You will have to excuse the fact that my body requires meat... I will be dead before you are, so you will be able to relax after that happens. lol

    I don't find it completely bogus where you're coming from, Lysergic. But the conclusions and wording are a bit off imo.
    I too am interested in seeing more women in higher positions, but really, not because they're by definition all these things you claim (more rational than men... wtf! :D ). Also, men are only better at stuff that isn't needed anymore or useless stuff like playing football? That's simply idiotic.

    I think you could moderate it some more if its a daily at dinner thing. Definitely not encouraging you to stop eating it entirely! :) That would be rather hypocritical

    Well, there are reasons, but not any convincing ones or reasons that I can defend through my own moral lense.

    Lol sorry, I wasn't even directing that at you. I'm just stirring the evos up. :p

    I don't idolise monkeys or hold them anywhere close to my bloodline or genetic makeup. Irm ain't no stinking ape, said that too many times before. Everyone else can be monkeys if they want, that's their monkey business. :D

    I'm something more pure though. 100%

    Is it also immoral if the animal is old and had a good life? They often die more painless and quickly than in the wild.
    What about using fresh (and not deliberately hit lol) roadkill?

    I think if the animals are cared for and not living in bad conditions then that's okay. I know that's hard to complete on mass scale production etc. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to fix that.

    Personally I turn a blind eye to it. I don't have to feel guilty where I get my fresh slabs of meat from, I can literally walk in any direction to a farm and see them in complete humane beautiful conditions. But mass scale.. I don't know.. Just hope they're not all tortured.. And I know that hope of mine is often overshadowed.

    The air pressure rod to head seems to work quick and easy enough, that's what my uncle uses. Just to the temple area I think.

    Doof. Goodnight Irene.

    Well, as I see it—I don’t need meat to survive. Some animals do. Might as well leave the roadkill for some critter who needs it more. Same goes for the old sick creature too.

    I know you're kind of kidding around.. But I'll answer anyway.. Yes it's about need. Survival is the first priority and if you need meat to survive and be healthy then it is not wrong.

    I just apply everything people say like this to humans. Am I okay with someone killing and eating my mother if they do it painlessly? No.

    Don't buy and eat meat from that industry. They live and die more often than not under bad disgraceful conditions.

    I hope that will change :)

    I tend to agree. But it depends on the details as with most things. It can be done without stress and fear, but quite often that isn't the case

    No.
    It's all how you criticize them. If you make your point the same way as you try to make your point about feminizing society I totally get why you don't receive a lot of understanding feedback.
     
  16. I agree that people are often too removed from the whole process.
    But I don't see anything wrong with wanting to eat animals, yet not wanting to kill em yourself.

    Well it's not, because I don't agree with you that being better at some things makes them superior. You're describing one type of male, from my experience. And using the word MOST, which I disagree with.

    I don't eat any animals. Just because I was talking about pigs here, it doesn't mean I argue for one animal and not others.

    Yeah I'm not actually into trying to convert people BUT if someone was doing exactly this and wanted to keep at it I'd say what Asmodean mentioned and say nuts and nut butters would help because most of those foods are low fat

    Indeed.

    But the joking aside: that statement is 100% correct. Not even an opinion.

    While there may be some truth to what you say, in reading your statement, I got the impression of guys with balls hanging off the bumpers of their trucks, or a drunken frat bro at a college party trying to out drink everyone and hump every girl in site. And while that may be an accurate description of some men--one might even say a tiny minority of men--it is no more representative of the whole than the bimbo cheerleader, or materialistic trophy wife is of the female whole. You seem to be using extremes to justify an overall...intolerance, for lack of better word.

    I have a dad. I have brothers. I have male friends. None of which you just described can be applied to them at all. You seem bitter toward men, and while I can't begin to understand what personal experiences have shaped that attitude, I do think that people--overall--are inherently good, but that the negative experiences we have with people can and does affect our option of them; and opinions can be wrong. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Yes, it's burned me a few times. But it's rewarded me a thousand times over.

    God bless, homie!

    I think i did. I am just saying if you mean to inspire other people with it who don't already think in a similar way about it, you might want to take a different approach. Now it reminds me of 6-eyed shaman being 'thought provoking' about refugees, feminism or socialism
