I like my steak, seared (charred, pittsburgh-style). There must be a different feeling to your arms if you don't eat meet. I bet you eat tomatoes, too. Tomatoes are the Holy Vegetable. You shouldn't bite into them and make them bleed. You never want to catch it bleeding when you're eating it out. Back to the race. I think Don Mattingly has the coolest name in sports.
I'm pretty sure my one friend is a vegetatarian. I'm not erasing that.

I'll say what I said in the other thread you posted the exact same thing in;
"Ya, but the point isn't that animals shouldn't be slaughtered like that in slaughter houses, it's that slaughter houses like that shouldn't exist.
That's like, if I was to say "Nazis shouldn't have killed the Jews in those concentration camps" and you replying "yeah, but that's what the concentration camps were for.""

after seeing that video a couple months ago, i was a vegatarian for awhile, but than i decided, why not jus eat kosher meat from a kosher butcher i trust? i'm jewish so i know the strict rules of the process of making sure meat is kosher, so when i am eating it i know the animals were treated humanely and died of natural causes or were killed in one swift cut with no pain

here's something that not many vegetarians know (or care to acknowledge): every year millions of animals are killed by wheat and soy bean combines during harvesting season. Oh yeah, go on and on for hours about how all of us meat eaters are going to hell for having a steak, but conveniently ignore the fact that each year millions of mice, rabbits, snakes, skunks, possums, squirrels, gophers and rats are ruthlessly murdered as a direct result of YOUR dieting habits

and being crippled and mangled in the baking sun dying cuz a combine fucked your shit up up is humane? how come 500000000 rats dying is so much better than 500000 cows dying? if you can say that the rats are less significant than cattle, then I can say cattle is less significant than humans, right? Personally.. you already know I dont give a shit either way heh. Im gonna eat my shit, and your gonna eat your shit and no one is gonna change anyones minds for the msot part. but answer me this, you have any leather? lol

10-03-2005, 10:29 AM
Nope, no leather at all. I had a pair of leather shoes that someone bought me ages ago, but I gave them away. :)
And there's a difference between animals being bred solely for the purpose of being murdered and animals accidently dying as a result of tractors and such. At least I didn't purposely kill anything, nor did I purposely contribute to the killing of anything. That's the difference.
Oh and yeah, i'll eat my shit and you'll eat your shit.. as long as you don't try and eat my shit then we're cool. :p

wow... thought you were above that response lol. Mind if I qoute the same site I linked?
"That's right: the gloves have come off. The vegetarian response to this embarrassing fact is "well, at least we're not killing intentionally." So let me get this straight; not only are animals ruthlessly being murdered as a direct result of your diet, but you're not even using the meat of the animals YOU kill? At least we're eating the animals we kill (and although we also contribute to the slaughter of animals during grain harvesting, keep in mind that we're not the ones with a moral qualm about it), not just leaving them to rot in a field somewhere. That makes you just as morally repugnant than any meat-eater any day. Not only that, but you're killing free-roaming animals, not animals that were raised for feed. Their bodies get mangled in the combine's machinery, bones crushed, and you have the audacity to point fingers at the meat industry for humanely punching a spike through a cow's neck? If you think that tofu burgers come at no cost to animals or the environment, guess again."
and good job on the leather, hate it when people who dont eat meat for moral reasons stride around in leather. Bugs the shit outta me lol.

I have nothing against meat-eaters. I see diet as a personal choice. I realize that people have been eating meat for, well, just about all of human history. Although I do believe the way meat is handled today is rather cruel and inhumane, and it definitely needs to be changed, I don't expect everybody to change their diets because of something they can't control like the meat industry.
You guys let me eat what I want to eat, and I'll let you eat your flesh that you have to cook deadly bacteria out of. ;)

it's not the same, but they get brutally murdered with spinning blades, I'd rather be dropped in boiling water or have my throat slit than be decapitated by spinning blades anyday, at least those are a more instant death.
And congratulations on being a vegetarian for what, two weeks? all because of one little internet video? Time to bin all your belts and shoes GHoSToKeR, wouldn't want any leather in your house would we? Also you'll need to stop drinking milk and eating fish too, it's all cruelty.

its impossible for them to win this argument, since their ammunition is ignorance.
everything you wanted to know about eating flesh (but were afraid to ask)
Human population of United States: 270,000,000 (and counting)
Number of human beings who could be fed by the grain and soybeans eaten by U.S. livestock: 1,300,000,000
Sacred food of Native Americans: Corn
Percentage of corn grown in United States eaten by human beings: 20
Percentage of corn grown in United States eaten by livestock: 80
Percentage of soy grown in United States eaten by livestock: 90
so, that obliterates the idea that vegitarians are just as bad for the killing of field mice. in fact we're over 90% less responsible for their death.

10-03-2005, 02:09 PM
more? consider this. by eating meat you are not only contributing to the suffering of animals but youre also helping children starve to death. way to go.
Percentage of oats grown in United States eaten by livestock: 95
How frequently a child dies of starvation: Every 2.3 seconds
Pounds of potatoes that can be grown on 1 acre of land: 20,000
Pounds of beef that can be produced on 1 acre of land: 165
Number of children who starve to death every day: 38,000
Amount of total U.S. grain production consumed by livestock: 70%
Number of people who will starve to death this year: 20,000,000
Number of people who could be adequately fed if Americans reduced their intake of meat by 10%: 100,000,000
enjoy your mushed up gential by produc..i mean..hot dogs. cheers! youre helping the planet die while being a fat ass!

On a side note, you said slitting pigs' throats while they're alive is fucking stupid... but how else are you supposed to kill them??? My uncle in Italy actually has some pigs, and he slaughters them himself to make fresh sausages and prosciutto... OMG it's so fucking good :D

There's a difference between deer meat and human meat, and if we weren't eating deer then they would run the world.
God gave us brain receptors for pleasure (you dope) and eating dog meat isn't pleasurable. Nor Jew meat. Beef, on the other hand, stimulates God-given receptors. Plus, gives you necessary nutrients. I think that many lifeforms were meant to rule the world. Animals don't speak, but they carry on conversations with another. They can communicate, which means they might overthrow the world, if we're not careful.

Well, I really shouldn't have been in this thread to justify eating meat, in the first place. I know that we're born to eat meat. Eat what you want, all food is bad for you and you're body is gonna break down, sooner or later, because of your genes.
My position on the "meat-eater vs. vegetarian" is that I could care less because I smoke cigarettes. Plus, I don't eat, much, but a FILET MIGNON is way better than a celery stick.

Nobody is "born" to do anything. As humans we have free will, which means that after we're born we are free to do whatever we choose. The American Dietetic Association states that not only are vegetarian diets sufficient for fulfilling all of one's nutritional needs, but also that "vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and phytochemicals. Vegetarians have been reported to have lower body mass indices than nonvegetarians, as well as lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; vegetarians also show lower blood cholesterol levels; lower blood pressure; and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer." I do care about my health (which is why I don't smoke cigarettes), and as for filet mignon being better than celery sticks, that is a matter of opinion. The taste and texture of meat is just plain disgusting to me.

"A number of people have pointed out that the amount of grain grown to feed animals for slaughter every year is greater than the amount of grain grown for humans. So I guess the amount of grain grown for human consumption suddenly becomes negligible and we can conveniently ignore the fact that animals are still ruthlessly murdered either way because of your diet, right? Not to mention that the majority of grain grown for livestock is tough as rocks, coarse, and so low-grade that it's only fit for animal consumption in the first place. Spare me the "you could feed 500 people with the grain used to feed one cow" line of shit; it's not the same grain. Then there are the people who jump on the bandwagon with "you could plant billions of potatoes on the land used for cows"--good point, except for the fact that not every plot of land is equally fertile; you think farmers always have a choice on what they do with their land? Also, many vegetarians don't know (or care to acknowledge) that in many parts of the United States they have "control hunts" in which hunting permits are passed out whenever there is a pest problem (the pest here is deer, elk and antelope) that threatens wheat, soy, vegetable and other crops; this happens several times per year. Then some of you throw out claims that "we are trying to limit the suffering." How about you limit MY suffering and shut the hell up about your stupid diet for a change; nobody cares. Even if the number of animals that die in combine deaths every year isn't in the millions, even if it's just one, are you suggesting that the life of one baby rabbit isn't worth saving? Are you placing a value on life? Enjoy your tofu, murderers."

Yocass, as much as I like Maddox you have to admit he talks shit alot of the time. His arguments are always weak. Funny, but weak.
The fact is that by eating meat I would be literally contributing to the intentional slaughter of animals. I don't want to have that on my conscience. I don't want to put a piece of slimy, greasy steak in my mouth knowing the shit that that animal went through to get it on my plate.
Yes, animals die as a result of tractors and plows as such. But it's not intentional. And yes, that does make a difference.
Think about this; if intent doesn't matter than the American armed forces that you are so proud of are guilty of murder every time they accidently murder a civilian. It doesn't matter if they tried to prevent civilian deaths, because according to you, intent doesn't matter.

Vegetarians are healthier than non-vegetarians not because they just dont meat. They might be healthier because non-vegetarians usually eat way too much meat and vegetarians may be "healthier" because they are more likely to include healthy alternatives in place of meat.
The Okinawa diet, for instance, has been studied extensively because the people there have pretty much the highest life expectancy in the world. Usually, "asian" diets are considered healthy. They do, however, contain meat in their diet. But many Westerners consume two to three times the amount of meat people in East Asia do. Not only that, but Americans eat the poorest kind of meat choices-pepperoni, salami, other preserved meats which contain nitrates and may cause cancer. They also dont include enough fish, which is a healthier alternative to beef.
Also, if you're a vegetarian, but eating white bread and cheese sticks everyday, you wont be healthier than someone who eats a wide variety of foods, including, say, beef, vegetables, and whole grains.

If you mean we're born to eat meat, meaning that we're physically adapted to meat meat, than you're right. We're omnivores by "nature", and actually humans could not have evolved without eating meat, according to one theory. When our ancestors began to introduce more meat into their diet, their brains actually grew over countless generations because of the additional protein in their diets.
Does that mean we "need" meat now? No, there are many high protein choices today, like soy.

His arguement doesnt matter, but his point is the hypocracy of vegans. You get sand in your vagina when you see animals die for human consumption, but when animals die that arent big and noticed, you shrug it off. And of course its murder. And of course it doesnt matter if you intended to kill. The fact is, no matter what you eat from commercial foods, your contributing to somethings death more then likely. What about the insects being killed from pesticides etc? The point is, who are any of us to draw the line at what animals deserve to die for our food? You want to have a personal line, fine. Just acknowledge that its still in the middle. Only way to not kill anything to live, is to die. Even plants are living, whether they feel pain or not, they were alive till you ate them, right? If it wasnt murder to kill civilians in war we wouldnt have such accurate bombs and weaponry to minimize civilian casualties. Why do you think so many people were mad about hiroshima? Why do you think we havent used such a massive weapons since WWII?

yocass, there is a difference between intentionally killing something or contributing to the killing of something and unintentionally killing something or something being killed as an indirect result of your actions. That's why there is murder and then there's manslaughter.
Look, let's not get caught up on pedantics. My conscience is clean, because I don't eat meat and therefore don't contribute knowingly to the torture and murder of animals.
And anyway, your argument is flawed. You're basically saying "I'm not going to stop killing these animals because you kill those." The fact of the matter is at least i'm trying to make a difference.

how am I saying that? Im saying I dont care, Id kill the damn cow myself. You just ignore the fact that your eating contributes to millions of animal deaths a year, as does mine. Only difference is, your the one with a moral issue with it. and you are knowingly contributing to animals deaths, every piece of bread you eat required some animal to die most likely. Your just placing a higher value on cattle and pigs rather then rats, as I place a higher value on people rather than cattle and pigs. Really no difference.... And both our conciouses are clear :D

No, the difference is that i'm trying to minimise the amount of animals that die as a result of my actions. Yes, maybe animals do die in fields of vegetables, and I feel bad about that... and I try to only eat locally grown vegetables that are grown in small farms and alotments and such, but it's not always possible to do that. But my not eating meat at least i'm doing the best I can. I'm not just throwing my hands in the air, saying fuck it and going out to shoot a bunny.

same logic I could say Im eating meat, because most meat is much more humanely killed then the poor bunnies, right? This reminds me of a religion debate, both sides can spin any issue on the thing their way, and as with religion, the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

I don't try and cram a vegetable down everyone's throat, but when people make ridiculous claims such as "vegetarianism is stupid because animals still get killed" then I have to argue my case. But i just do what I do, and you do what you do. We may not agree but I just don't like it when people have to start getting offensive.. I do it myself sometimes but I try not to. Anyway, it's all good! +hugs ousted+ :D :p

~shrug~ If I was a cow Id rather get fed all my food, and humanely killed once I got old, rather than living my life in constant threat of getting attacked by animals. Like I said from the beginning I posted that site and every refrence as a joke, so if your gonna take it seriously, maybe you take your diet more seriously than you thought? If you wanna take a little funny debate as a ridiculous claim or an attack, go ahead lol. And, why you gotta make up quotes? Oh thats right, because no one said that.

There are no regulations on killing the BILLIONS of animals killed a year.
These animals appreciate classical music, experience pain and all the emotions we do (most mammals share basic emotion) yet they are treated worse than holocaust victims.
At Auschwitz
the vast human slaughterhouse had reached the peak of its efficiency. Long trains transported Hungarian Jews to the annex camp of Birkenau on a three-track siding that went right up to the new crematoria working at full capacity....
USDA:
While the American meat industry has had more than a century to streamline its operations, the acceleration of line speeds in the last twenty-five years has greatly increased the pace with which the meat and poultry industries slaughter animals.
look, you meat eaters are simply igorant about this topic. thats why i can give you facts all day and you can give nothing but your own narrow opinon based on your own mcdonalds commercial saturated lives. your best bet is to simply admit you are contributing to the decay of our world.

And please.. calling somebody a pussy because they don't eat meat is ridiculous. You're the pussy for being scared of change. You're the pussy for trying to justify the mass slaughter of millions of defenceless animals every day just so you can have a burger or a steak when you get peckish.

If humans didn't ever eat meat, were natural carnivores, would we still murder animals? Judging by your logic they're inferior so it's okay to kill them, so if we didn't eat meat would we kill them for fun? Would we go out on Saturday and shoot a bunny in the face or stab a poodle?

ooo wow beachguy, you made fun of my name... how original! And again, its a fuckin quote dipshit. I posted it for laughs, as Ive already said. His arguement doesnt matter, but his point is the hypocracy of vegans. You get sand in your vagina when you see animals die for human consumption, but when animals die that arent big and noticed, you shrug it off. And of course its murder. And of course it doesnt matter if you intended to kill. The fact is, no matter what you eat from commercial foods, your contributing to somethings death more then likely. What about the insects being killed from pesticides etc? The point is, who are any of us to draw the line at what animals deserve to die for our food? You want to have a personal line, fine. Just acknowledge that its still in the middle. Only way to not kill anything to live, is to die. Even plants are living, whether they feel pain or not, they were alive till you ate them, right? If it wasnt murder to kill civilians in war we wouldnt have such accurate bombs and weaponry to minimize civilian casualties. Why do you think so many people were mad about hiroshima? Why do you think we havent used such a massive weapons since WWII?
We haven't conquered our own world, enough, to rid ourselves of the "survival of the fittest" nature. I'm sorry, but a chicken has to die in places where no vegetation can thrive.
If an animal is destined to be domesticated, no one in the world should be eating or killing it. If the animal is too dirty to be domesticated and can multiply in numbers, beyond belief, then God gave it a purpose to have babies for Human survival. I will no longer talk about this (if you don't mind) because I'll wind up sounding like a Jehovah's Witness.

God gave it a purpose for humans to eat, correct. and i think that's a good purpose for them, but since there is an option of getting all my nutrients from other things than animals, i would much rather eat some that is living and breathing and whose brain is more advanced than the rodents that die from the tractors, and actually, a lot of the deaths in slaughterhouses are wasted death because the animals are too sick to eat, so it's not like all the killed animals are even used. anyway, if i can't handle eating an animal because it makes me sick to even consider that, then there isn't anything wrong with me and a lot of the world, it's just a different way of looking at something that people who eat meat don't see, which is fine, cuz i don't give a fuck. i'm not getting poisoned if you eat meat, i just think the corruption of the industry shouldn't be so secret and the government could at least make an effort to fix the evident problems and corruption affecting the health of our nation.
statement for thought: in europe and canada the hormones fed to the livestock on our farms here are illegal because of the harmful effects of the hormones. what are you eating?

You can't eat rodents because their meat is no good. Chickens aren't meant to drive cars because they're food. Just like their unhatched eggs. But Blue Jay eggs are no good to eat. That's the difference between which animals we slaughter and which ones we domesticate.

To people like you and me who have not leveled animals with ourselves, yeah, the comparison makes no sense, and is rather insulting. I couldn't even begin to guess how a holocaust survivor would respond to such a comparison.
However, I can understand if you hold a genuine belief that animals are of the same importance as humans, seeing an animal being abused would be just as horrific to that person as seeing another person being abused.
But, thats the ugly reality of the food chain. Things get eaten, and the process isn't always pretty or humane, even in nature.

I'm glad 80% of the people who posted in this threat 4 years ago are not around anymore, they seemed like 12 year old kids arguing their mothers ideals.
I eat meat, but more importantly I only eat healthy food along with meat.
I understand people who don't eat meat, but I also don't understand who are disgusted by meat... that's a brain disorder.
I don't like tomatoes, doesn't mean I feel sick holding or looking at one.
I also sometimes question vegetarians, because if we didn't live with today's technologies, and the whole industrial revolutions. People who'd have to plant and sow there farms for there veggies, fruits, and grains.. yet I have not run into a vegetarian that could do that kind of labor. They all seem frail, and weak with no muscle mass to be able to live that lifestyle, or do that days work over and over.
Another reason I think vegetarianism only came in existence is because of the availability of walking down the street to get fed at a trader Joe's.
I however in no way look down at people who don't agree with me, we all have been wrong at one point, and who's saying I ain't wrong here?

I enjoy eating red meat occasionally- maybe 3 times a month, usually less. I eat a lot of chicken though- Purdue only. I've worked around their Delaware plants, known several who work there, and the chickens aren't caged in mass confined spaces, fed any hormones or antibiotics, and are only fed grains and nutritious feed products. I eat my fair share of fruits, and some veggies, and I don't wear fur; I don't really find any use for it in my climate.
I have one vegetarian friend, and she gave me crap one day by shoving a bunch of PETA propaganda down my throat... That angered me... I'm all for animal rights, but the only organizations I support are the ASPCA and local animal shelters, from which I have gotten several animals from... Pound dogs are the best...
But acting like someone is somehow subhuman by eating meat is WRONG.
And acting like someone is somehow subhuman by not eating meat is WRONG.
Coexist, people... Hopefully no one here is as immature and inconsiderate (BOTH sides of the argument) as those who have posted before.
