TW Scott:
Now there are exceptions to be sure, but to a business owner you are nothing more than the best guy they could get for the pittance they pay you. if they could find someone just as good for even a dollar less a year they'll drop kick you ass in a heartbeat.
Looks like you picked the wrong job if you put up with being treated like that.
No, i never even implied murder is not wrong. That is you trying to divert the discussion. I was just pointing out that Death is never premature by definition. You die when you die. It could be becuase of a heart attack or becuase you got struck by lightning. Deathe comes to everything
Ok. I concede the point. Death comes to everything. No argument there.
That in no way means that in any given situation it is acceptable to kill. To determine whether it is acceptable to kill we must obviously look beyond the basic fact that all living things eventually die.
Therefore, your entire point was a waste of time.
Actually I do see something wrong with people who get a pet then kill it for a completely inane reason. The dog makes you mad, find him a new home. Otherwise you keep the pet becuase keeping the pet makes you happy. Don't try to lie about it.
Responsible pet owners take on ownership of their animals on the understanding that they have a duty to care for their pet, not to kill it arbitrarily, and so on.
Do you really think that applies only as long as your pet makes you smile?
Once again, I must say you are consistent in your moral outlook. Your opinion is that all animals are only valuable insofar as they benefit you in some way. You are consistently selfish, I'll give you that.
I am personally saying that anybody anywhere should have the free choice to eat meat or not.
They obviously already have that choice, so you are arguing a useless point again.
I, on the other hand, have been arguing that people ought not to eat meat, on moral grounds.
There is no moral concerns as long as it is not human meat.
Translation: TW Scott has no moral qualms unless it is human meat.
Why is human meat different from cow meat? Because TW Scott is human. And he is special. And cows only exist for his pleasure anyway.
I don't advocate factory farms at all. I think there are a very gross practice and I am thankful they a minority in the meat production industry.
I have already supplied you with statistics and other information to show that they account for the majority of meat production in the United States. You choose to disbelieve that, because you're too lazy to check it for yourself.
As long as the animals are free to wander around on a good portion of land and not caged their whole lives, I figure we are paying them for their contribution.
By the same argument, I could come and kill you and eat you. After all, you've been free to wander around for over 20 years.
As for Tiger, Polar Bears, Bilbies, and Pandas. I fgure they could do with a little exploitation. I mean would it be so bad to have ranches that let these animals roam free and then drive cars through on approved routes?
You've heard of wildlife parks, I assume...
By the way thank you for proving me completely right that you are relying emotional arguments. You have completely invalidated any credibility you have had on this subject.
This is getting tired.
