Killer Hippies Convicted of Murder

[Mallignamius]

I find your code of ethics highly questionable. There is nothing wrong with killing animals for consumption. Absolutely nothing.



They should be killed as humanely as possible, but killed none-the-less.

Should be killed? Why?

Chi Meson, it's because neither side likes arguments from the center.

When people pick sides in a debate like this, they have no intention of actually gaining knowledge, or giving meaningful debate. Rather, it's simply a competition to see who can come up with the wittiest comebacks and the most extensive list of websites off google that will support them. When somebody actually produces a logical argument that draws from the best of both worlds, it feels like that person is attacking everyone at once

How can you be taken seriously in this discussion when you make comments such as the one above?

They should be killed as humanely as possible, but killed none-the-less.

There is no such thing as 'humane killing' (euthanasia, etc., arguments aside). What you wrote is an antilogy.

Would it be OK for me to kill you, your family or friends, so long as I did it 'humanely'? I doubt it.

Again, I suggest you look into what actually happens in animal agriculture, including the factory farms and slaughterhouses, because you appear very ignorant on the matter.

i guess this section of PF is to blow off the enormous steam people build up over the semester.

Okie dokie, that's enough of that. I created this monster and I'm going to kill it...

...and then I'm going to eat it, probably with some barbecue sauce, or perhaps just some grilled vegetables...hmmm, do I have any garlic...? i love garlic...
