We don't have to kill other animals to survive. We have been inspired and have created other means of sheltering and feeding ourselves that don't necessitate us to resort to murder. That's why I'm a vegetarian. And it's strange. As advanced as we are now, we give much less respect to what we kill than our ancestors, who had to kill animals did. Ancient tribes respected the life that had to be lost to sustain theirs. They were grateful to the animal and didn't waste a part of it. But nowadays, we raise animals on factory farms, who have no other life than being prepared for food. They are abused and slaughtered. I'll start faulting animals for their part in the food chain when I see a tiger herd up a bunch of antelope and keep them all around in horrible conditions until he's ready to kill them.


I think the main reason more people aren't vegetarians, or at least the main reason that I'm not one anyway, is that it deprives us of many of the necessary nutrients that we as humans need to survive. I have a friend who is 100% vegan, and she is very thin, with dry yellowed skin; she's always tired, and she has to take a handful of vitamin pills every morning, as well as a bottle of water wherever she goes, because her diet basically consists of pita bread and hummus (at least at lunch, anyway). It just seems like meat was meant to be a natural part of our diet, otherwise those who abstain from it wouldn't have to resort to artificial means to get their essential nutrients.

I know this isn't related to the conversation at hand, but since we're talking about over-rated movies, I thought I'd bring this up. Am I the only one that thinks Blade Runner is vastly over-rated? I've managed to make it through once, but I don't think I could stomach a second viewing. Then again, I thought A Scanner Darkly was stupid as well, so maybe it's just that Philip K. Dick blows.

So, in your approach to the world, would a person who slaughters poultry for human consumption be as equally evil as a Nazi who had supported and committed genocide in WW2? I’m very curious.


you must be a highschool student to come up with a statement like this.


Well, I think the reason he mentioned it was because this was one of PETA's ridiculous propaganda tactics.

And your statement gives me hope that more people won't take PETA seriously.

I was thinking the same thing.

My tipping goes like this:

If I feel that my service was mediocre, I'll give just a little bit (like if my meal was $20, then I'd only give about $1.50)

If I feel my service was good, I'll give 15%

If I feel like my service was great, and the waiter/waitress was really nice, then I'll give more.

If my service sucked, then I won't tip at all.
