I have no counter if you simply do not care.. If you ever want to shut a vegan down just say "I don't care", they'll probably find you disgusting but they'll have nothing to argue back with.

I will say though that I grew up with Uncles who lived for fishing and used to take me. A lot of hunters in my family as well, but that didn't prevent me from eventually forming my own opinions.

I don't mind being your punching bag.. joke away, I can take it. Assholes :D

Does the fact that fish don't feel pain count for anything? I ask because I draw the line at hunting for sport (as opposed to hunting for nourishement) because you can't throw a dead deer back in the water.

Also I thought that you were a vegan because of the meat industry's standards. Tsk tsk I think there's more to it.

I've never been, and will never be about hunting (even though I have an uncle who probably would have loved to take me). I always do catch and release too. I'd feel bad if I caught a fish and ate it. But hunting is a bigger thing to me, just as stepping on a spider is bigger than eating a fish. "Higher" life forms, such as deer, rabbits, and bears, "deserve" more consideration than fish, just as spiders deserve more consideration than amoebas. To some extent it might be illogical, but to some extent treating fish equally to deer is illogical as far as I'm concerned.

But yeah I'd never go hunting. Not in a million years. Regardless of what rational moral reasons I could use, I'd just feel like a monster for shooting a deer. I understand why people do it, and I understand why it means something else to them than it does to me, so I don't judge, but it's not for me.

It doesn't really count for anything to me, but I can at least empathize with those who use that as kind of the deciding factor. I really just don't see the point of taking a life when there are other options for nourishment that cause less harm.

Stocked fish aside.. Most fish are more important to their ecosystems than deer. Deer are actually somewhat of a pest, so it's hard to agree with your thinking (if we are going to take special consideration based on some ranking system surely it should be based around ecology and not arbitrary human perception). And I can still appreciate delicious animal food, I just try not to indulge anymore.

i see fishing and hunting as way less serve than the meat industry. i would much rather eat a deer or a fish that i killed myself than a pig who spent his entire life covered in **** being pumped full of steroids and who knows what else just to be killed.

At a certain evolutionary point it's basically just a mindless biological engine. I guess the ability to feel pain might be a decent divider, but at what point does an organism's ability to feel pain translate into legitimate suffering and not just plain stimulae?

I'm not arguing against veganism or vegetarianism btw, just against the idea, either explicit or implicit, of life being sacred. I mean, at the end of the day we're all just the emergent process of a few billion cells without consciousness of their own.

I got off work today early and have tomorrow off. Finished my beer at around 4pm. Think I'm gonna go buy more beer and eat Hardee's or some ****. Otherwise the next 8 hours are gonna suck. Seriously, beer needs to be bigger, food needs to be less tasty, and my job needs to be more slavey.

You don't think that's an original point to make? I don't have to shoot a cow to eat a steak and so I am not bothered. I'm not really concerned with the moral logic being consistent.

No, you used an unacceptable form of "Do you know what I am saying?".

No it makes me like pretty much everyone else, I just don't come up with self-serving BS excuses for eating meat. I worry about the moral issues that concern me and ignore the ones that don't.

Just found a blog dedicated to hating Cincinnati. Here's a taste.

Quote:

Between the three day period of temperate weather in Cincinnati known as "spring" and the free for all retard fest known as "The 'EBN Fireworks, Dude" there is Cincinnati Summer and...it sucks.

It is Mexico City on the Ohio River. It is a crockpot full of shirtless fat Germans stewing in their own chunky toxic humid fumes. It is pollution that has been trying to rise above the valley since the mid 1970's. It is companies all over the county paying off crooked politicians to keep releasing **** into the air, and those politicians continuing to get elected because Cincinnatians hate dark people and homos more than they like to breathe.

Though it may be impossible to inhale during the summer, make no mistake, Cincinnati sucks.

Things that suck about Cincinnati
