[quote]Technically you are saying that we were all souls and we just fell into life by chance, which is horribly ass-backwards.[/quote]Stop making straw men. I said nothing of the sort. I said that you are not responsible for being human any more than a cow is responsible for being a cow. And yet you think you are more entitled than the cow. This is the pinnacle of human conceit. [quote]How am I not sticking with my initial argument? I'm clearly restating that eating meat isn't some unholy atrocious act that you sensitive -blam!-s make it to be.[/quote]And yet the evidence you present for this, these flawed appeals to "nature", have been easily exposed. Simply throwing in a few childish insults and repeating yourself relentlessly doesn't make them any more valid. [quote]What the hell is up with you thinking that eating meat is inhumane?[/quote]Another straw man. I never made such a vague statement as "eating meat is inhumane". I said that [b]needlessly exploiting and killing animals is unethical.[/quote] [quote]Do you think I want to kill animals for fun? Do you think that eating meat means that I stab pieces of meat in a insane frenzy? I eat meat because it's delicious as hell, and it's a good source of protein when you have right portions.[/quote]I'm amazed you didn't notice your contradiction here. You said you don't want to kill animals for fun (pleasure), but that you support killing them because they're delicious. That is killing them for pleasure. For fun. There's no rational way to deny this. Protein is abundant in plant sources. [quote]There are also substances essential to a healthy body that are in meat not found in plants and vice versa.[/quote]There are no nutrients in meat that cannot be obtained from non-animal sources. This is a fact. [quote]A balanced diet is better than a strict meat or herb one.[/quote]You have moved the goalposts again, from the moral implications of killing animals to the health benefits. Of which there are none. A properly structured plant-based diet is not lacking in anything. [quote]Humans eat meat [b]and[/b] plants, not one or the other. We are omnivores by nature. You can't blame nature for being natural.[/quote]Please stop saying this. It has already been put to rest.
