Is Meat Really Murder?

Reasons for not eating meat?

I never said anything about destroying everything we survive on, so yes I understand what you are saying there.

I guess the difference of opinion comes with the superiority argument. I feel like because of the intellectual and emotional capacity, and because humans possess the intelligence and skills to create things that are beneficial, we are superior.

skaltezon, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or being serious.

I'm trying to be serious without being offensive. How'm I doing?

Not very good. That post where you quoted me and said it's off-topic threw me off a little. Wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or serious. Off-Topic? I'm talking about the only topic we are even talking about.

Then you disagree with my earlier post?

Is it just a matter of not enjoying meat, or do you feel there's a principle behind the whole thing?

This would seem to rule out arguments about there being no reason not to eat meat, wouldn't it? \

Topics naturally shift and diversify. If they didn't, this thread would contain a few extremely boring one-sentence posts about whyfor, and that would be the end of it. You can't give a good discussion such strict parameters.

Your ideal forum sounds incredibly Q&A.

Well, that's just my opinion. The digression seems pointless to me and not as interesting as the proper topic.

I think that a person's opinion about their place in the scheme of the environment and other animals is pretty integral to the idea of veganism. I'm a meat eater, and even I know that.
Questioning why often raises more questions that you should be willing to confront.

If that's the new topic I can roll with it.
