    Well good for you. Harr harr harr, what a knee slapper.

    Continue to ignore the cognitive dissonance of the murder of a sentient being that is “cute” and “cool” so you can pleasure yourself.

    Hopefully people will see this for what it is one day. It’s a crime. Not long ago men joked to themselves about how beautiful and nice women were before they raped them. Slaves weren’t considered human at one point.

    I’m not gonna get too high on my horse, because I used to eat meat, but at least had the dignity to not proudly proclaim my stupid choice to assuage the nagging doubt underneath.

      Is it murder when you are biologically designed for hunting and eating meat? Unlike the other situations you mentioned I can point to a ludicrous amount of evidence that your body is made to sometimes eat animal proteins.

      Whether we should regularly consume animal products or whether our methods of farming animals is sustainable us a different issue, and IMO is the most compelling argument as it is the only thing as an individual you can do to really combat climate change.

        The experts would disagree.

        It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes.

          Your source isn’t addressing my claim on any level at all which is biological/anthropological in nature not dietary. You have teeth designed for tearing flesh. You have enzymes to break down said flesh. You are designed to hunt some animals and NOTHING in your source addresses it nor could your source do so with any credibility.

          So your appeal to authority is completely out of place here.

            People live completely healthy without meat, so how is this relevant? Even if we were biologically adapted to hunting, that doesn’t make it ethical. Ducks are designed to rape, surely that doesn’t make rape ethical. Or does it in your view?

        Over 90% of the human diet has always been plant-based until very recently.

        You were also biologically “designed” (you religious btw?) to murder and rape.

        And you were certainly not biologically “designed” to go down to the grocery store to buy a huge slab of red flesh in a plastic container to go along with your doritos.

          Yes most of your diet should be plants because you should have more teeth for eating plants than meat (your dental care is bad if this is not true).

          You’ll note that I talk about eating a lot less meat if you choose to eat meat.

          You aren’t designed to rape. Consent as a concept comes about millions of years after the design parts of homo sapiens manifests itself. Don’t be ignorantly hyperbolic.

      Yes, you are right and thousands of years of humanity’s culture is wrong. You are certainly not too high on your horse, which you shouldn’t have saddled and enslaved in the first place. Thank you, Citizen, for your erudite insight and wisdom!

        Appeal to thousands of years of history… which is filled with murder, rape, war, enslavement, and endless other crimes. We are capable of evolving as a species.

            Oh look, it’s you, the same asshole that also advocates for violence and censorship of people you disagree with.

              No, I advocate for violence and censorahip of known terrorist and genocidal ideologies. You, however, want to embrace being a victim and a doormat.
