I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Templar, Arizona yet. (Occasionally nws but not porn. Currently there's a naked fat guy on the front page.)

By the way, the new Gunnerkrigg bonus comic is already shaping up to be awesome.

Killing a human being is immoral. Eating a human being is immoral. Killing anything when there is an option around it is immoral. Killing an animal needlessly is immoral. Is eating meat immoral? Let's fully debate the morality of carnivores.


So you registered just to post this? Your regdate and post date match up  :gwa:​. 

On topic, the debate really boils down to "Do you believe that killing a cow or other farm animal is immoral." Believe it or not, some people with differing opinions to that of Peta and other 'Animal Rights' groups would say that they don't really find it objective to humanely kill a cow. (Note that everyone's definition of humane is different, and what Peta claims is humane absolutely differs from a slaughterhouse worker, but by 'humane' I of course mean the traditional way.)

Lyric, what can you tell us about Peta and the ALF? Do you consider the ALF terrorists?

Edit:

Because so much food, water (it is estimated that 90% of our water is used for agricultural purposes) that goes to the animals raised for food could thus be used to help the people in poverty.

John Robbins wrote a book called Diet for a New America where he has statistics.  It came out in the 80's so you could make the claim it's outdated but it still presents good facts.

I stand corrected, this does go deeper than I had previously said.  I've never thought of it that way, but I still see nothing morally wrong  with eating meat from a purely 'is meat murder' standpoint.

One time, when I was younger, I woke up with a rat on my chest, and I was just absolutely petrified by it, for no apparent reason; it was as if the rat was holding a gun to my head telling me to be still. When I snapped out of it, I had no idea what the fuck, and ran to my parents. I came back to my room with my pissed off mom and there was no rat to be found. It wasn't until a few years ago that I found out about sleep paralysis. 
That said, although I wouldn't want it to happen to me again, it's not the worst thing that can happen while you're sleeping  :crazy:​.

I wish I would have seen these guys at Soma on the 29th. It was a Tuesday, and not the best day for a concert on account of school and whatnot.

Don't shave your pubes, man. Brazilian waxes are so much more efficient.

But i guess since he wants to get rid of the patriot act and get us out of iraq (hint: Obama and the awful hilary clinton want to as well and aren't fucking crazy...)

Actually, I seem to remember Obama is pro-patriot act. You can correct me if I'm wrong though.

You should add Kingdom of Loathing http://kingdomofloathing.com It's a funny browser-based mmo with stick figures.
Also, you might want to add that a significant portion of players think the developers cheat at EVE, which is a Big Deal in a high-stakes PvP game like that.  http://goonfleet.com/open_letter_to_CCP.html
