Fucking AR loonies continue to try and blow people up

[Rune]

No I don't buy that... you qualified that 'choose not to' with a surreptitous anti-meat eating snipe. and even then that was in an 'ideal' world. Why not let people simply choose as they wish, without having to emotionally qualify your 'choose to' statement that when interpretated appears as 'veggie is the right way and meat eating is the wrong way'?

What I said was
" You'd choose not to, because you'd realise that you don't need to and that your pleasure is not worth the death of an animal." which was in response to this
" so a fox can eat meat because its a fox
but in your ideal world I'd be banned from eating meat because that would be wrong "
Bearing in mind that there cannot be an ideal world that satisfies everyone, I was answering from my ideal world. The poster even refers to my ideal world.In my ideal world there'd be no need to ban anything that I think is wrong, people wouldn't do it because they too would think it wrong.

In my opinion " 'veggie is the right way and meat eating is the wrong way"

Maybe that's because, as with all 'causes' the extremists are the ones who get all the attention?

these extremists are presumably animal rights supporters?

a couple of questions for CH - do you think that animals are more/less/equally important than humans?

- should they have the same rights?

- and would you say you devote more or less time on AR issues than HR ones?

Without animals the planet is pretty fucked.
Without humans, it would do much better.
Animals = more important than humans.

- should they have the same rights?

They should have different rights. In the same way that children have different rights as they need more protection.

- and would you say you devote more or less time on AR issues than HR ones?

Definately more. Whilst HR is important, we do so much harm to our own (as a species). I see it as very hyppocritical of many organisations and governments, "we want HR, quick, sell them some guns".

Would you be typing on a computer if that was the case?

Irrelevent if you read the question.

Er humans are animals.

Er humans are animals.

Couldn't agree more, wasnt going to be a pedant though.

Are you going to do the world a favour and top yourself? An obvious question, but I had to ask. What about a mass killing spree instead? Wasn't it gun+tree=no tree or something?

ch750536, are you going to answer that rather than grinning like an idiot?

Still grinning like an idiot.

still hav'nt answered the question why does planet earth need animals?

 

[ch750536]

Correct. No point debating with someone who asks such a question.

 

[likesfish]

well it was in response to one of your loons argueing the planet needs animals but not people.
mankind could quite happily survive with plant life and no other animals though personally I'd miss bacon butties.
I worry about people who think people are expendable or who pocess to perferring animals to people

Too Far

The whole Animal rights movement needs to stop being so serious.A few years ago I was a very militant animal rights supporter untill I became homeless.Then my mate said I'd spent so long demonstrating and holding stalls that I had totally alianated myself from the entire population of meat eaters and now I'm on my arse who is going to fight for my rights.I took a chill out pill concentrated on my own life then got some more accomadation and my own little money earner.I've got another mate who is part off alf and really he has lost the plot since he has been with then .He won't have friends who are meat eaters .He has even disowned his own family because they eat meat.He's gone very withdrawn and conversation with him now is very hard work as he only has a one track mind.I'm afraid in a few years time when his parents die he's going to have alot of regrets.
