oh also, when I was in Berlin I met the people who run this um, organisation (?):

www.fuckforforest.com

i laughed at first but then stopped because they were really very very serious. environmental porn activism is definitely the way to go. save the environment and have some sex. it's a win-win situation.

gazzwa, fuck yeah. i'm gonna read the whole site.

question for meat-eaters: would you eat a dog?

if no, what is the difference between dog and other animals?

because they're mans best friend

And we all know meat-eaters are true Men with a big M.

I don't care that some people don't eat meat but I never really understood why there had to be a conversation about it.  I hate the "ugh stop eating meat in front of me that's gross" people and I hate the "HEH....EAT A STEAK" people too.  You know who I do like?  The "let's have a meal together and eat whatever we want" people.  Unless you ARE wanting to convert someone (which I also don't agree with), then why is it necessary to even bring it up unless someone asks?  It's not really KEEPING IT A DEEP DARK SECRET it's just not necessary most of the time.  Normally if you order a salad or pasta or something when you're with your friends at a restaurant no one's gonna go HEY WHY AREN'T YOU EATING MEAT??????  I don't see how your diet choices need to be explicitly stated in any situation, unless you're allergic to something and need to let someone know not to feed it to you.

I dunno man I've gotten to the point where I literally can't keep my mouth shut about worldviews and shit like this. I get pretty passionate when I'm talking sometimes but I always try to slide jokes in everywhere and listen to what the other person has to say and actually comment on their opinions even if they're stupid as shit.

I don't just go around ranting and raving all the time but if it comes up in a conversation or I feel I can give input without sounding dumb and misinformed then I'll let it loose.

I can usually talk to pretty much everyone civilly without coming off as a dick or too pretentious.....except my dad.

I argue with him almost every night about some political, moral, or philosophical bullshit and although its pretty hilarious I admit it can sound like two rabid dogs barking at each other.

but even then its just debate shit kind of except its like arguing with a 4 year old half the time.

question for meat-eaters: would you eat a dog?

if no, what is the difference between dog and other animals?

I'd probably eat a dog if it was offered but I'd have a lot of trouble with it because I'd be imagining my dogs. To someone without pets that might seem odd like why wouldn't I imagine a babby lamb when I'm mopping up some mint sauce but I think of my dogs as Almost-People. They're members of my family.

Why vegetarianism doesn't really matter

chickens are food, ok:

if you were to see a chicken out in the wild in some kind of perfectly balanced eco-system walking around fucking other chickens and doing chicken shit. They'd still be getting slaughtered by all of the other predators in the area....all the time. As a matter of fact that is the chickens purpose in life, to die and get eaten. You will never see a chicken die of old age. I am an omnivore. I am capable of consuming both vegetables and meat. Whose to say we shouldn't solely consume meat? Who are you to tell me to disallow myself half of my diet so I can spare a creature that will die as food anyways?

Apply this to nearly every other herbivore and animal we eat. Animals live to die as food and most of them pretty fucking violently, we should just strive as people to make their lives as humane and comfortable as possible so when they die they're happy.

Hell I say stretch this philosophy unto ourselves and grind bodies into chum for fish and fertilizer, give back what we take.

I can't think of a carnivorous animal I'd eat

These arguments aren't sound! They seem kind of common sense sound but if you actually think about the reasoning behind them, it all falls to bits. I have work early so I cannot really spend a long time on this tonight so I'm just saying for the moment.

what? i know you were trolling most of your posts but some of these other guys aren't

the same thing applies to everything you've said. it's easy to just say WELL... LETS NOT EAT MEAT ANYMORE GUYS THERES NO REASON TO! when like i said whole species depend on us eating them and entire economies depend on selling said meat
