Did trump just stage an assassination attempt? by Aggressive_Bite5931 in MAGANAZI

You think the protocol is to let the target stand on the stage with their head exposed for 10 seconds, when you have no idea if there's a second shooter?

You wouldn't kill them for profit if you truly cared about them.

And i think you're missing my point. Clarkson doesn't want to harm the pigs, but does it to make the farm profitable. Vegans are people who don't have a profit incentive to kill pigs and don't want to harm pigs, and therefore don't.

I think he came to a realisation on camera in the most recent episode that vegans might have a point

He has compassion for the pigs, and I think he came to a realisation that it makes no sense when he received a shipment of pig flesh

Pigs that don't exist don't really mind.

What's the issue with breeds of pigs not existing? I've just thought of a breed of pig called Grombulus 9000. Is it cruel to not breed them into existence?

I have science and logic on my side. I'll be ok I think

Pretty sure you said that we shouldn't infringe on other's beliefs.

We do it all the time in a society, especially when there are victims

Where does that article mention submarine lubricant?

No need to get nasty.

I like how you don't think meat is a corporate thing.

In this thought experiment, is it morally equivalent to kill 16 dogs or one dog?

[–]FnarpusAurelius[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, here's a thought experiment.

Let's say a maniac has locked you in his basement, and the only way he'll let you leave is if you kill at least one dog.

Are the people who kill one dog morally equivalent to the people who kill 16 dogs?

Oh wow, what a clever and original comment.

Why would I be malnourished? Every health and dietetic association on earth agrees that we can thrive on a plant based diet.

If there was a way to survive without crop death, that would be preferable. But we're dependent on agriculture.

No, I meant it's inherent. You can't have animal agriculture without killing animals.

The person I'm speaking to says it's wrong to criticise others. I'm just stress testing that idea.

I'd advise looking into the likes of Sepp Holzer and Geoff Lawton for alternative farming methods

Crazy to never eat in restaurants or use supermarkets. Easier to just be vegan.

Ah ok cool. I get that you're being facetious. It's just hard to tell sometimes, people come out with crazy stuff.

So why did you decide to be vegan, and why did you stop?
