They don't. I don't think animals are smart enough to even realize what a car is. But I'm just saying the idea and creation of cars is unbelievable. And animals don't possess the ability to create such a thing.

Also I dont see how you continue to interpret AwwSugar's posts this way. You know, most people you seem to think are quick to jump down your throat are actually willing to have an intelligent argument with you, its just you keep taking their posts out of context.

Even typing this I am thinking that you are probably reading it as me having a go at you, which isn't true.

Oh and the pictures of burgers? They go back in this thread, right to the very beginning, before you even registered an account here. The posting of pictures of burgers and dead animals do not come with an opinion, they come with a purpose to simply offend or annoy the vegetarians which is why it annoys people. The majority of the vegetarians in this thread are nothing but respectful and not here to do the same thing to the meat eaters.

It's just a bad example, an irelevant example. Other animals dont care about cars, they arent a part of their existance. It's not really a measure of intelligence from species to species.

Just answering your question.

Just responding to Awwsugars post since she included me in it. Just comes off as whiny to me. As she said, people have different opinions. Just deal with them. This isn't a professional debate, there's no evidence here, it's a personal opinion whether eating meat is good or bad and I don't mind it one bit. As for the burgers, why even bring up pics posted months ago? Shrug it off, you know the pics are posted just cause people are being douchey. Also, lets not confuse this and think that I am the one posting the burgers, cause I could see that easily happening.

You brought up the pictures, i commented on it. You seemed to only comment on the one picture, as if thats all people were getting annoyed about. I'm just letting you know that it isnt and thats why people are responding this way. I know you haven't done that, I didn't say that you had.

Also, what you just said is exactly my point. People are simply doing it to be pricks. That was also AwwSugar's point. So, I guess we agree on something?

You haven't read through the whole thread. I wouldnt expect you to, it's huge. But some people have and some people think that the same arguments keep coming up again and again and that a lot of the meat eaters haven't really said anything intelligent, they have just come in here to be annoying. Thats really what I took from her post, I don't think it was whiney but rather just a statement of fact or as it may be, opinion.

This thread just keeps getting more and more ridiculous

Honestly, I would rather see burgers than dead animals. I already feel grossed out enough by the whole thing

I'm still not sure on my stance on if it's murder or not, but I would guess I lean that way as I am disgusted by meat and can't stomach eating it (when I did, of course). However, it's wrong to infringe on anyone's right to choose to eat meat, and vice versa. It's the people who think that we're the tip top of the food chain that are the big animal abusers and don't give a damn. That's disgusting and shows an obvious lack of morality and respect for other animals, because humans are animals too. It makes me wonder how they treat other people. Yes, I recognise the achievements of mankind, and am grateful for them, especially the ones that enable me to be able to completely cut meat out of my diet and live a healthy life. That doesn't mean that it makes us the alpha and omega of the World itself.

I eat chicken. Sometimes I eat vegetables. Sometimes I eat both of these things. I enjoy eating chicken and vegetables.

No, cause I read through a majority of the thread and I know you aren't the only one.

In response to anyone else who responded, the pictures were just an example of just that. People being annoying. I could shrug it off I'm just saying that it's not making a point.

Also, in response to what Paloma said, I don't even know how I feel about the title of the thread's answer. I have no idea whether or not it's murder, I just know I don't eat meat for my own reasons.

Nope. It's because if you're a meat-eater who thinks there's no reason not to, then you're posting off-topic.

Wrong. The topic is why those who don't eat meat have that sort of diet. Read the OP. Since you don't mind eating meat one bit, you have nothing to contribute.

Off-topic. Read the OP.

You do realize that advancing the human race relies on not destroying everything that it survives on, right?

What I'm trying to say is we need the rest of the world more than it needs us. And while we may have more intellectual/emotional capacity than other animals, it doesn't make us superior. But it does give us the ability to understand that fact and make beneficial decisions based on it. Not beneficial to just us, but beneficial to everything else here that also makes it possible for us to exist in the first place. I understand that you want to hold on to a feeling of domination in the grand scheme of things, but I think it might be a good idea for you to learn your actual place in nature..
