SxE, Vegetarianism, Veganism

Congratulations, ou818. You have won the argument. You have filled me with such horrible rage that I cannot keep replying to someone that has a reinforced titanium fortress for a brain. Relish in your victory, there are few people obnoxious enough to demolish what was once civilized discussion into a "NO U" game. Are you proud of yourself that you make ignorance a strong arm? I am not posting in this thread again.

 

Because you're unable to create a factual retort, and you have to result to insulting my intelligence, I'm the one in the wrong here?

Cool.

 

Winrar.

 

On existentialism:

Just because life has no purpose, does not mean you must live without purpose

or could that be your definition of "full-arsed" existentialism

 

I think someone needs to turn-off his caps-lock.
Anyway I don't have will to read what you two have written. This is going nowhere.

Look, animals are eating humans (funny heh, but they are) so humans have right to defend themselves. But do they need to kill animal ? no. why ? becouse we are (this is going to sound so idiotic) "supirior" in one way, and it IS true. we can live without eating animals.
Plants, as answered in link above, can feel some kind of fear. And all veggs are aware of that. But if you are pointing out that they do feel pain, it seem like you are looking for a row with some of us. What should I eat ? At least I'm doing something. Plants are alive, and they do help us survive, but it's not fuckin' same.
I'm natures friend. I won't put fire on woods, I won't step on flowers, I won't tolerate someone doing that.

That wouldn't be existentialism, now would it?

 

Im vegetarian for almost 3 years. I do not smoke.
I tend to quit with beer and replace it with water

 

I'm a vegetarian, trying to consume less and less dairy products, but still haven't achieved to be a vegan yet.
I feel kinda hypocritic, since I'm against animal husbandry, especial the corporate one, but still giving my money to dairy companies which are 100% exploitative to animals.
I'm certainly not a SxE person, although I drink alcohol once and then and small amounts aswell. I just think it's ok to experiment. What matters is the way you do it.

And, yes it would
I dunno If you know the emphasis that is placed on the Individuals own free will in existentialist writings
Let me Wiki that for you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism

"Søren Kierkegaard, posthumously regarded as the father of existentialism, maintained that the individual is solely responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely, in spite of many existential obstacles and distractions including despair, angst, absurdity, alienation, and boredom."

Sorry for the off-topic post

 

Well ou818's social charms very much got in the way of his intellect, so don't expect a reply from him anytime soon.

 

What do people think of pescetarianism? I'm a vegetarian, I do occasionally eat meat, but only because my family thinks it's odd that I don't like meat, and plus it's easier on my parent's wallets :/ . But what about fish? I just wanted to know what people think about eating those little guys.

 

A fish is still an animal...though it's better than eating something put through a slaughterhouse, at least.

 

Sorry, but there is not much difference between a modern "factory-ship" and a slaughterhouse - except for the noise maybe. The worlds oceans are getting over-fished/over-exploited, industrial pollution too endangers the dimished populations - so we try to get our fish from local fish farms - a bit more expensive, but that's the price for still being non-vegetarian because of the young kids we have.

 

^That's a good point

 

Fish are friends, not food.
If you occasionally eat meat, then you are not a vegetarian. As far as it being "weird" to your family, if your convictions were strong enough, you'd stick to it. I dealt with a lot of shit growing up for being a vegetarian. It's gonna happen.

 

i think your comment that radical veganism and animal rights leaves you depressed is sad.veganism belongs in the anarchism movement because its not just a way of eating but also a way of thinking and living.it also involves enviroment and animal as well as human rights.did you ever think of the indigenous people of south america that are loosing there land and forests due to cattle farming.or deserts in africa getting larger due to over grazing.veganism is also about avoiding products produced by large capitalist busnesses for example (coca-cola,nestle,loreal,gilette.ect)not only are these busineses responsible for animal testing but also human exploitation and murder of workers union organisers and enviromental destruction.mc donalds our best friend in the movement is respnosible for enviromental destruction animal death factorys and also opression of there workers.
revolution starts within yourself your not going to change anything untill you change your own life and habits of consumption. animal rights and human rights are one and the same and should be fought for together. you should read (Beasts of burden) its recomended to all who arnt or who are vegan.
also (animal liberation and social revolution bye brian.a.dominick)

you could always dumpsters a lot of veggies and just buy meat substitues, like tofu and soyrizo. although i don't know how hard dumpstering would be with a baby, but it's an option if you'd like to save some money

 

for being easier on your family's wallet, try dumpstering YOUR food and just letting them buy whatever poisoned and destroyed animal products they want, but you won't have to support it
