Meat

[Tyrannis]

How is it not? How could any species survive if it didn't place its own needs before that of other species?

just the way you said that, it sounded like you were categorizing humans apart from what would be considered "animals" .

[SilverZ06]

how is this? We're animals ourselves.


Im not siding with Penguins discussions, But lets face it, if Human Beings weren't smart enough to create weapons, We'd be at the bottom of the food chain.

but we are smart enough, thus we are at the top so what is your point?  BTW, I prefer my meat beaten

Ummm, ok, lets eat THEM..

In some cases we are not on the top of the food chain.

Ah yes, living in the sticks, so calm, so peaceful, so filled with animals that would like to eviserate you.

and if sharks didn't have big sharp teeth so'd they. What's your point?

I believe his point is that no one animal is intrinsically superior to any other.  I second that notion.

As a human being, I would like to tell the rest of the animal kingdom to suck it. I consider myself more important than you because dammit I'm hungry and you look tasty.

I know I've got some fellow humans out there that say silly things like you're our equals (or maybe even superiors) but they're all lying. If they really felt that way they lie down in front of you and say, "You look hungry, little guy. Have some of my arm." You met any that've done something like that? That's right: Hell no. We all about survival up in this b*tch, and at the expense of yours if need be.

That sounds good, it's just that as it stands, most live in absolute squalor.  In addition, with lab-grown meat coming into the picture, I think we'll have an even better solution.

dude! You have to be from the city.

I said intrinsically superior.  My point is that just because you're a human doesn't make you better than a cow.  The reasoning behind this is that there is no such thing as absolute morality, it's all subjective.  That being said, I would never let an animal eat me because I want to live!  If that means cracking a few less sentient skulls, so be it.

  sometimes i wonder about you...where you come up with this stuff is a real mystery. and here i thought the concept of the food chain was simple enough for even 1st graders...

inhumane commercial farming practices aside, the pig is very happy lying in the mud, especially when it's hot. it may not be your standards for living but it is the pig's.
