Well, thanks for the clarifying. While I think the why is silly, I don't think anyone should be forced to eat what they dont. Though that is mostly cause I am a picky eater, who just thinking about it, is not that carnivourous either. But that last line is partly where hy reason for thinking ethics is a silly reason to do it. If I were to hear of some vegan dying because of poor health from not eating right, the word idiot springs to my mind.Camembert said:
Vegans don't die from veganism... usually the worst-case is anaemia, but if they eat properly then there should be no problems. You should look up fruitarianism if you want to see some really wacky eating habits.Miumaru said:
Still, though, I do not understand why you think it silly for a human to have compassion enough to be unwilling take part in, however indirectly, the suffering of another being. I just don't see it. To me it is the most sensible thing in the world, and shows a lot of empathy for others, whether human or not.
What a disgusting, revolting man (him, not you).clipse15 said:
Nature is one thing, but farming animals for slaughter is entirely unnatural. Hunting for meat I am 100% fine with. You cannot possibly imagine that the battery chicken has a fantastic time living its whole life in a cage barely bigger than it is...? Or that farmed mammals enjoy the experience of the abattoir?Miumaru said:
I am not a moron, I am fully aware that nature is cruel. The idea, though, of being a poultry bird (there are few to no welfare regulations for such animals) on almost any farm is too horrendous.
But when lions eat gazelles they deal with the mess that goes with a dead animal, we hardly every see what the burger looked like before. When we eat meat (in the West certainly) it is sanitized and packaged to the point where you can forget where it came from. I have met people who were shocked to hear that beef came from cows, that annoys me.Miumaru said:
It was always just a loan but I was stupid enough to trust and think that we would sort the details out later. I know that everything should be in writing and to be honest she probably just played me with all the sobbing scared woman stuff...Kajin said:

These days my circumstances have changed and I could use the cash. But this was many years ago during my "young and stupid" phase. A phase that went on to include another lass who actually look money out of my wallet - yes we were dating but that was waaaaaay over the mark.
Fuckin' hell, can I pick them....
That kind of stuff is why I tend to feel smarter than most people. Sitting in english reading shakespear, it mentioned primate. I assumed everyone knew what that was. After no one answered, I did in a "duh tone" and found out the rest of the class did not know.Hammer said:
If it were as humane as could possibly be then that's better of course, but still not ideal. I just find it depressing to imagine that the one and only purpose in these animals' lives is to feed us. Every animal capable of the slightest intelligence possesses the survival instict, the same as us, only with humans it's called valuing our own lives. I put myself in their shoes (yes, I know they don't share my intelligence/imagination/conscience, whatever - or wear shoes, either) and think that it would be hideous. I don't value animals over humans at all, not even close, but I do think there is room in us for compassion for every creature (and not just the cute ones).Miumaru said:
This reminds of the old saying. Never mix business with pleasure. How long did you know her when you gave her the money? It is always a bad idea to give money to people you haven't known for very long, especially if you are dating them. I am not surprised she stop seeing you because the money put all the pressure on her in the relationship and it probably put her in an uncomfortable position. The whole relationship took on a whole different meaning for her once the money entered the picture, but that was no reason for her not to pay you back.Valksy said:
It was pouring rain outside one day and someone had left their car windows open. I opened it up and started rolling them up. This was back when most cars didn't have automatic windows. Before I finished the owner came out and began yelling at me to get out of their car.
I'd still do it again, though.

I remember when I used to have a wall. Half was knocked down making a driveway. The rest followed when someone crashed into it.neoontime said:
It wasn't ment to be like that, I whole heartedly apologise if that's a problem. I just find interest in other people's stories.Captain Pancake said:
I can see why.oppp7 said:
Can't do anything right these days. So we stay inside and play video games. Good deed perhaps.bodare said:
There's a thousand sides to the same coin when you look at if very closely.
Honestly, my mind is so scrambled these days that I don't remember much of the exact details. I just assume by default that people are inherently decent, which is why I am so often disappointed. The alternative was to default on rent. I do believe that she played me.Jeronus said:
I do know that I if was ever confronted with her again I would bust her right in the chops. She may consider herself fortunate that I have no memory of what she looked like.
