Yes, it was. He's done it before, and he got his ass kicked on it then,
too. He doesn't care - whenever ****wit is losing, he tries an
evasion/diversion.

Exactly. And wobbly Woopert *knows* that's what the discussion is
about, too. When he starts taking ****wit's bullshit evasion/diversion
seriously, he is letting himself be played like a violin.

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not
engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must
marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be
allowed to divorce her.

It has importance to people who honestly favor decent AW over elimination.
It's unimportant ONLY to eliminationists, and actually it has importance to
those people as well since they are OPPOSED to seeing it taken into

Your first remark is no less stupid just because you put it before another
remark Goob. The stupidity factor of that particular remark remains, while the
stupidity factor of you overall increases because you thought you could reduce
some of the stupidity of your first remark by adding another POSSIBLY slightly
less stupid remark.

I challenge you to tell us now Goo how you want people to think you "can
affect" the welfare of new animals that you can see. Go:

(prediction: Goo will fail so completely that he can't even make an attempt,
though it could be great fun if he would try)

>Doesn't it make sense to plan for how to provide for those animals' welfare
>before they are born?


Goober, you have been manically OPPOSING giving consideration to both
existing livestock and potential future livestock for over a decade. Are you now
changing your position entirely and saying that it's finally okay for people to
take both into consideration, Goo?

Every pregnant animal carries at least one unborn animal Goob. It's what
pregnant means, Goo.

Goober it's stupid not to believe in unborn animals just because you can't
see them. Here's a clue for you Goo: you can't see unborn animals because they
are inside of their mother. You can see some unborn fish though Goob, so you
should Google that to see that you can see some of them and they do exist.

What you're bewildered and confused about Gooberdoodle, is the difference
between unborn animals and potential future beings who are as yet unconceived.
Until conception there is no being afawk Goo. Whether or not any beings have
multiple lives is something we can't know Goob, so there's no real reason to
have a belief about it one way or the other.

It is a complete quote and shows why the issue is not about unborn
animals currently being gestated by pregnant females.

No. No, you *never* make any challenge. You can't.

False.


> and potential future livestock


Yes, because their lives deserve no moral consideration until they
exist, and then *only* the welfare of their lives, not the "getting to
experience life."

*IF* an animal exists, its welfare deserves consideration (which you
admittedly don't give.)

If no more livestock animals exist, the fact that there won't be any
"they" who "get to experience life" deserves no moral consideration at
all. That's a fact that drives you insane, but it is a fact.

We're not talking about animal fetuses in stages of development,

that's not what we ever were talking about.

No confusion. In the context of your *FAILED* effort to criticize
"vegans", Goo - you are Goo, of course - "unborn animals" and "potential
future [farm animal] beings" are synonymous.

I've never lied about the fact that I don't have a belief...they/we could or
they/we could not, and I consider both possibilities. There's no reason for me
to lie about it. The only thing in question is what the Goober thinks he could
gain by persuading people to believe I have a belief that I don't have. From my
pov Goo is outstupiding himself for even trying.

We have reason to believe that Goo has beliefe in a pre-existent state
though. For one thing the Goober believes and wants everything to believe that
something about our pre-existence prevents us from benefitting from our
existence now, but he has never been able to say exactly WHAT or HOW something
about our pre-existence could possibly do so. Let's challenge him now to be
su

Goo, try to explain what you think prevents existence from being a benefit
either without referring to pre-existence, or if you do refer to it explain
exactly how you think anything about it prevents us from benefitting NOW.

(prediction: the Goober will fail the challenge so completely that he can't even
make an attempt)

Moving on, here's more evidence regarding Goob's beliefs about his supposed
pre-existent state:

"Not existing is not equivalent to "being nothing."" - Goo

"The only way that the concept "benefit from existence"
can begin to make sense semantically is if one assumes
a pre-existent state". - Goo

"When the entity moves from "pre-existence" into the
existence we know, we don't know if that move" - Goo

"EVEN WITH the very best animal welfare conditions one
might provide: they STILL might not be as good as the
"pre-existence" state was for the animals" - Goo

"Unless we know with certainty that the entity's welfare
improves when it moves from "pre-existence" into the
life we can detect" - Goo

"I also give the not-yet-begun lives of animals that are
"in the pipeline", so to speak, a lot of consideration" - Goo

"you still cannot demonstrate, ever, why it is "beneficial"
for souls to incarnate and experience this meaning." - Goo

""Pre-existence": this is Goo's problem, and only Goo's
problem." - Goo

"coming into existence didn't make me better off than
I was before." - Goo

"We are not and never were talking about benefits for
existing entities" - Goo

"Existing animals don't figure into it in any way." - Goo

First of all, Goo, "concepts" of potential beings don't deserve any
moral consideration.

Second of all, Goo, you're lying: *you*, Goo, think of them as existing
"in some sense" as individual potential "future farm animals." What
you're saying, Goo, is that the potential for life of individual "future
farm animals" deserves moral consideration - but it does not.

If "vegans" were to succeed at stopping the breeding of livestock, Goo,
no potential "future farm animals" would be "denied life", as you once
put it. You can't "deny" anything to an entity that doesn't exist.

What I'm saying is unfair for the animals that
*could* get to live, is for people not to
consider the fact that they are only keeping
these animals from being killed, by keeping
them from getting to live at all.
****wit - 10/19/1999

If you keep an animal from being born which
would have been born without your interference,
you have denied life to it, whether it actually
exists or not.
****wit - 28 Sept 1999 http://tinyurl.com/2x3ogu

I am talking about non-existing entities as if
they will be alive some day. You are encouraging
the idea that they should never be alive.
****wit - 10 Nov 1999 http://tinyurl.com/2nypox

In *ALL* of those, Goo, you are not talking about potential "future farm
animals" as a concept - you are talking about them as some kind of
entity that deserves moral consideration *today*, and you insist that
that consideration necessarily must lead to wanting the animals to
exist. But that's stupid.

You can't *do* it, Goo - you just can't turn this into a set of beliefs
based on sound logic, because it's utter bullshit.

Of course the only ones we're in any position to be able to detect are those
same life forms, and we couldn't detect any others if they inhabitted every
other star system in the universe. Do you consider that fact too, or just try to
ignore that one and if so why?

Some do and some don't. Some atheists have faith that God does not exist,
and some don't. Amusingly, those who appear to have it usually appear to be
ashamed of their faith from my experiences with them.

All you're referring to is people putting their faith in the possibility
that no intelligent being(s) had any deliberate influence on how things
developed on this or probably any other planet. If God does exist, science
teaches us how he did and does things and atheism does nothing to help with any
of it.

Rubbish, of course they can.

The government (through the schools) just cannot endorse a specific

That's not faith.

You assert there's a intelligent creator, you prove it. Until then we
won't believe in it.

Science doesn't teach us about God, it teaches us about the Universe.

If it's a waste of time to ask you what you mean, then why is it not a
waste of time for you to make the remark in the first place?

It is. It's a waste of time for two reasons. First, you already know
what I mean. Second, you aren't really interested in knowing anything
more about what I mean. You're just bored and you've already had your
daily wank and you don't know what else to do, so you **** away time
posing stupid questions.

It really does suck to be you.

When he tried to pretend we were talking about animal fetuses when I
used the expression "unborn animals". ****wit is the one who first
started saying "unborn animals" to refer to unconceived "future farm
animals." At some point, when I showed that his beliefs concerning
"future farm animals" were irrational and absurd, and I used the
expression "unborn animals" that *he* introduced, he thought it would be
cute to start equivocating.

The discussion has always been about "future farm animals" that don't
exist today in any way. ****wit isn't criticizing "vegans" for wanting
to abort animal fetuses - he's criticizing them for not wanting
conception of livestock animals to occur at all.

Only if you were dealing with someone who is taking a serious approach
to the possibility life elsewhere in the universe and isn't ****ing
around with the terms. It is a certainty that you and ****wit are not
using the same terms to mean the same things. That's part of his schtick.

Well, your insight about the matter is pretty limited.

Anyway, do you not think it's an advantage to be good at mathematics?
