I've never known anyone to say that. We could consider that if humans had never begun to eat meat none of us who are alive today would be, and possibly no humans would exist anywhere on the planet. We could also consider that animals raised for food aren't simply "killed" as the animals in crop fields are, but instead they experience whatever life they do, some of them good and some of them not good, ONLY because humans raise them for food. We can also consider that the people who eat meat contribute to the lives of turkeys etc, while people who are vegans don't contribute to any lives for any livestock animals. >Vegetarian historian Rynn Berry begs to differ. > >The story of the Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving -- and >turkey's place in it -- has been shown to be largely a >myth. It was only in 1863 that Abraham Lincoln declared >Thanksgiving to be a national holiday -- mainly as a >public relations ploy to whip up a sense of patriotism >and national unity during the Civil War.

The First Vegetarian Thanksgiving - Article by Ryan Berry
On 10/2/2013 12:22 PM, ****wit David Harrison - *Gloo* - stupid,
illiterate cracker and convicted felon, defeated entirely in 1999 and doing nothing but wasting time ever since, confessed and *lost again*: > We could also consider that animals > raised for food aren't simply "killed" as the animals in crop fields are, but > instead they experience whatever life they do, some of them good and some of > them not good, ONLY because humans raise them for food. Meaningless. Their "experiencing" of life is not morally considerable. It has no moral importance at all. This is what I meant by you having no case, ****wit. While what you wrote is true, it is trivial. It has no bearing on the ethical decision of whether or not we *ought* to raise animals for food. It offers no clarity or ethical guidance at all. It's a complete waste of time. You have no case. You are not a man. |

"getting to experience life", of course, means "coming into existence." It does *NOT* mean continued existence, *Gloo*. We're comparing coming into existence - "getting to experience life", in your shitty way of putting it - with *never* existing. Coming into existence is not a benefit - period. I've explained it, and you agree. *Continuing* to exist, once one already exists, is something else. That's why killing the animal deserves a *LOT* of moral consideration, *Gloo*. *Gloo*, you keep trying to play word games with me, and you *KNOW* you can't win them. You can't win them, *Gloo*, because I'm smarter than you, I'm more intelligent than you, I'm more articulate than you, and I understand language *FAR* above your cracker limitation. You are *SOOOOOO* far below me when it comes to use of language, *Gloo*, that you don't have any hope of beating me. >>>> I get this, and you don't. >>> >>> If you think you do then >> >> I do, and you don't. You've admitted it. >> >> You are not a man. > > Then try explaining I have explained exactly how coming into existence - "getting to experience life", LOL - is not a benefit, and you have *agreed* with it, *Gloo*. You were *forced* to agree with it, *Gloo* - you had no choice. |

It does *NOT* mean continued existence Try to explain how you think something can get to experience life without continuing to exist Goo. Go: .... >you don't have any hope of beating me. You outstupided yourself AGAIN unless you can explain how you think something can get to experience life without continuing to exist Goob. You also outstupid yourself when you are dishonest which is the majority of the time. I beat you when those things happen and I beat you every time I challenge you to explain some things you can't explain, you lame Googoots. I'll beat you nineteen times again now by challenging you to try: 1. explaining exactly which emotions animals can and can not experience. 2. explaining how anything could have inherent rights. 3. providing any opposition at all to "AR". 4. explaining why nothing has ever benefitted from living. 5. explaining why we should only consider killing but not life. 6. explaining what or whom--other than those who are disturbed by the fact that humans eat meat--would benefit from their elimination objective. 7. describing any emotion(s) through language. 8. explaining any way(s) in which people could contribute to better lives for food animals. 9. explaining why one emotion is more difficult to experience than another. 10. explaining how any difference between the ability of humans and other animals to experience emotions, is a moral issue. 11. explaining the qualitative differences between anger and disappointment, if there are any. 12. demonstrating an ethically equivalent or superior alternative to the elimination of domestic animals. 13. explaining what it is that makes animals appear to be experiencing certain emotions, under conditions which could easily trigger those particular emotions, if it is not those particular emotions. 14. explaining how any emotions could be dependant on language. 15. explaining the kind of stimulus-response "anticipation" you can get from a dog. 16. explaining what--if anything at all--he has learned from experience with animals. 17. explaining what could be more important to animals raised for food than the experiencing of their lives. 18. describing any tests which have been done to test for self-awareness in dogs. 19. explaining why dogs jump up above tall grass so they can see, if "They are not aware that they can see." >>>>>I get this, and you don't. >>>> >>>> If you think you do then try explaining how you think you disagree with >>>>yourself about it Goo.
