Now even spiders, squid and lobsters could have rights, and about time too!

It's absurd to say that my behaviour belies my claim to care about animals, there's plenty of evidence that I care about animals. You've got no rational grounds for criticizing me. What is the difference between you and me that entitles you to call me a hypocrite? Let me guess, you've never made the claim that you care about animals. It's utterly absurd to say that I'm hypocritical because I claim to care about animals. Of course I care about animals. Are you saying that no-one in this society cares about animals in the slightest? What a joke. What a wheezy whining windbag you are. Get stuffed, you imbecile. I'm not whining, LOL, just a wheezy windbag then. I'm just pointing out his extraordinary stupidity, which he shares with you and all the other antis. It's a perfectly reasonable response to his tiresome nonsense. You can't rationally engage with it, so you resort to abuse. Absolutely pathetic. Wrong shit-for-brains, we've tried the rational approach with you, and as with most boneheads of your stripe, even more so in your case, it was a complete waste of breath. Now we're getting some light entertainment out of telling you to your face what a stuffed shirted loser you are. [..] ========================== LOL I've made no claims about saving animals fool. You have. You claim animals should not be killed just to produce food for people. Not significantly more than is necessary to keep the human population healthy, no. Vague and open to interpertation. Yes. Thereby meaningless. that. Plus, killing them for your entertainment. That, fool, is hypocrisy. No, it's not. I've never committed to any moral principles which entail that what I'm doing is wrong. I've never said that I have an absolute obligation not to financially support processes that cause harm, even if that harm is "unnecessary". I've said that I should make every reasonable effort to reduce my contribution to animal suffering. The term "reasonable" is vague and open to interpretation. Like almost everything you say. Do you claim to have a foundation for your moral views which is in no way vague and open to interpretation? It's a hell of a lot more sound and rational than yours appears to be. At least I don't imply immorality in others when my own own moral structure is vague and open to interpretation. Like your notion of what makes us "human": you claim that's in no way vague and open to interpretation? Absolutely right, clear, no interpretation necessary. Human is human. I have chosen a certain place to draw the line. There's no reason why there's any more hypocrisy involved in that than in the place where anyone else chooses to draw the line. You persist that you've drawn the line at the RIGHT place, that's where the hypocrisy comes in. That's absurd. That doesn't mean anything other than that I hold the opinions that I hold, which is true of everyone. It's not absurd. I completely accept that the place you draw the line is right for you, without question. I accept that the place Rudy draws the line is right for him, and rick, and the Jain that lives in India, he has a line he is comfortable with. |
