Ahahaha. Ha. Hahaha. Hmm. It's funny because this is the first time I find myself agreeing with the downer cynics. Realists in this case. You are deluding yourself if you think fighting back is the right thing to do against a weapon. It's even funnier if your reason is "because martial arts"...

Also, not to be the harbinger of annoying things to think about, it's not just monetarily providing for your family, but in other ways too. Schools, for example, might be a bit lackluster compared to not rural areas. And friends. Opportunities. Not that I'm suggesting you want, or will want...

So I didn't read the whole thread....which I shouldn't be admitting to I guess. Having said that, yes, you should go with your heart and do archery and houses made out of materials that I've never heard of. You know, as long as you're fine with not having kids or a significant other. The...

Whoa there, a little touchy, aren't we? And by "we" I specifically mean you. In case that wasn't clear. I didn't say you take pleasure in killing things, I said you kill things solely to take pleasure. And that's where the rest of your screed falls apart: my issue is when you take life with the...

Yeah, back to the point - I sort of forgot this was the question. This is definitely the point that separates vegans from vegetarians. I think the answer for vegetarians and probably a lot of vegans is yes, that would be fine. There are a subset who will still object on the grounds of using an...

Which I'm sure makes a big difference to the cow.

Here's how it makes sense to me: I don't need to kill animals to live, so if I do it's only for pleasure. How egotistical and cruel to believe that their life is worth less than my slight discomfort. Now if I can't live without killing them for whatever reason, down they go and I'm not going...

Okay everyone, can we just post the gene sequencing to see how closely related these could be? Maybe we're looking at a publishable novel mutation in Krabby phenotype. If so, we have the three lead authors right here.

Yeah, what is that about? I mean, technically I know. Still makes my blood pressure raise when people maintain fish aren't meat.

Wait, are you trying to point out vegetarians that think fish/seafood is okay are inconsistent? Because, yes, they are. But I'm not sure if vegetarianism proper encapsulates that idea.

Well then you are a fool. Have you seen the price a baby fetches these days? Much more than one puppy, I can tell you that much. Meat is also much more tender.

...so we don't actually HAVE to anymore then, do we? Also, it's completely possible to get enough protein without meat, and without scientists (whatever that means). You just can't eat straight broccoli and expect to get everything you need.

Hey everyone, insert joke based on equivocation of "loving animals" here! This. While it's apparently 10 pages of fun to refute the most literal reading of the quote possible, I think this is clearly what the quote is attempting to convey. Yes, unfortunately it is hypocritical to claim you...
