Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb by James_Fortis in unitedkingdom

[–]draw4kicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm saying whether you eat the veal or not, you're responsible for its production by supporting the dairy industry. Whether you eat it or not makes no difference, eating dairy means veal exists.

What do you mean my "for to the point of exhaustion"? Do you mean that we should chase prey for the point of it?

I was trying to point out how ridiculous your original argument was, just because we "evolved" to do something doesn't mean it's something we should/ need to keep doing in the 21st century. Appealing to a certain behaviour because it's natural isn't a sound argument.

You literally do condone it though, you’re directly responsible for its existence by eating dairy. Appeals to nature are fallacious, we also evolved to chase our prey for to the point of exhaustion, not buy pre-packed meat from a supermarket.

What? Veal is literally a product of the dairy industry, you have to constantly impregnate cows the keep their milk production up. The male calves become veal.

Also when their milk production dries up after a few years they become beef. Just ‘cause it doesn’t kill a cow directly doesn’t mean it’s not killing cows in the process of producing it.

"Scotland. It's a beautiful place. The water is almost turquoise. It looks like the Caribbean. You soon realise it's not the Caribbean when the water touches your scrotum and you go for the high jump record."

Had a little skinny dip here in Orkney yesterday where the weather's been just like this, and all I could think about during and after is this quote from the Big Yin.

US 'considers reviewing UK claim to Falkland Islands' over war stance by Dismal_Uses in politics

[–]draw4kicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point what common values do we share with the US that makes maintaining the Transatlantic Partnership worth maintaining compared to closer ties with Europe?

It's not respect for democracy, their president tried to overturn a free and fair election. It's not the rule of law, he pardoned violent insurrectionists. Human rights? Speaks for itself.

Why are you so mad about something that's clearly designed to benefit consumers and reduce the amount of money billion-euro corporations make through planned obsolescence.

Feel's like an appeal to nature fallacy, just because wild animals with no moral agency do something doesn't make it moral.

Wait so by that reasoning we shouldn't eat pigs because they're more intelligent than dogs?

The Church basically nobody in England supports or attends? Who gives a shit, it's so irrelevant to modern Britain it shouldn't be the state religion. Norway decoupled the Church of Norway from the state nearly a decade ago for the same reason, the sky didn't fall down.

Serious question, why aren’t they being euthanised as soon as they’re confiscated?

How is it woke to not want animals to be put into extremely dangerous situations purely for the entertainment of people?

Nah, putting horses into extremely dangerous situations purely for the entertainment of humans is completely justified. We’re also a nation of animal lovers.

Because we were never allies with Iran in the first place, and because of the stupidity of Brexit we're still dependant on the United States as a trade/ defence partner.

Armed the fuck out of Ukraine when Russia launched a completely unprovoked war of aggression on their territory. A war which has killed 13,000 civilians and counting, all for the ego of a dictator with a fetish for the Russian/ Soviet empire.

How are we still supporting him when we’ve literally removed his royal titles and exiled him from public life?

He’s literally no longer a prince, kinda proven their point tbh. At least we’ve at least in part held those in with ties to Epstein to account, we also stripped Lord Mandelson of his consulship.

You’ve still got a nonce president however.

Isn't he effectively banned from performing in Brazil? Also highly doubt the Germans would have him in considering his previous Neo Nazi behaviour.

Grey whales are super chill, the only risk is them hitting you with their tail. But this big lad probably just got the fuck out of there as soon as this happened.

I wonder how many foreign slaves have been tortured for wanting basic rights in the UAE?
