"Had we been placed..."
"Had we been placed on this earth by a malign creator for the
exclusive purpose of causing suffering, we would have good reason to congratulate ourselves on our enthusiastic response to the task." -- Alain DeBotton "In modern society, the only remaining justifications for killing animals for food is that people find meat to be convenient and/or that people enjoy the taste of meat. In other words, the meat provides convenience and pleasure. These morally vacant justifications for eating meat should be weighed against unnecessarily killing of billions of animals each year and the devastating effects of meat production on both the environment and human starvation." -- Ed Pastore |

Ah, the sub-literate, drooling cretin who thought it would be a good idea for someone to commit suicide, and even went to the trouble to post about it.
