Journal Bill Dawg's Journal: "fee duss" 19

Journal by Bill Dawg

Endless crying in the "lab-grown meat" discussion about the inhumanity of slaughtering animals for their delicious meat, and how synthetic critter flesh would alleviate the animal rights component of Liberal Guilt*.

I have the perfect solution: Like an unborn baby is declared not a person, but just a piece of meat, we could just do that with animals. That is, tell ourselves they're not really what they are, that they're just meat, and what do we do with meat?

Well, we're not cannibals, so we don't eat our aborted human meat, we chuck those in dumpsters like any civilized species would. But animals, being just pieces of meat that are not of human DNA, are menu ready. No more ethical dilemna!

In summary, just treat them like a fetus, and then feed us! No frankenflesh needed then.

*Cue fusta, who sadly has spent all of his adult life in a sanitarium, locked away from the real world, saying he's never heard of the term and therefore it must just be me being wacky.

p.s. I would like to go vegetarian (because unhealthy lifestyles seem sensible to me), but the thought of plants being slaughtered keeps me from it. Plants have rights! Join PETP! Herp, derp, I'm a Leftie!

p.p.s. Cue fusta saying he's never heard of Lefties being known for being for animal rights and therefore I'm just being wacky some more.

  • According to This [natureworldnews.com] article, plants make logical, rational decisions. The vegetarians are misguided.

    • And don't forget, our antibodies are killing bacteria. We are all mass murderers! If you are "pro-life" you must kill yourself now.

      • Here again is where having been kept under a rock for so long means you're not aware of even the most basic things in modern life: "pro-life" is commonly known as a shortcut meaning, more specifically, "pro- human life". So pro-lifers are anti-abortion in all or almost all cases, generally anti-euthanasia, and can also be anti- death penalty. Pro-lifers are not understood to largely be vegetarians or otherwise against the ending of non-human life. The reason for this is the typical Conservative valuing o

        • On abortion you have absolutely no standing on the issue. It really is that simple. Anything you can and do say about abortion beyond *it's the mother's choice* is just plain garbage. Shouldn't have to tell you twice, but apparently bone density keeps it from sinking in.

          The rest of your gibberish is undecipherable.. what?

          • Sounds like a simpleton wrote that post. I know you're not dumb. You're just not intellectually rigorous. It's your right, of course. But disappointing. Because I come here to sharpen my thinking and positions.

            • There is nothing you can say or do that could possibly give you any right to dictate what a woman can do with her body. Yes, very simple, as most things are in life. You are just intellectually calcified. But keep on evading with childish responses, as is your regular MO.

              Because I come here to sharpen my thinking and positions.

              If that were true you would accept women as full equals and wouldn't be belching such nonsense. But you don't, leaving us to question why you are really here. Actually not, you're he

              • In truth, it's just getting old.

                So is the projecting. And the nonsense is from you; you say "full equals" without even thinking about the full ramnifications of that. Intellectual sloppiness. Which, again, is your right. But nothing I can work with.

                • you say "full equals" without even thinking about the full ramnifications of that.

                  Just another dodge, more evasion. You claim rights you don't have. Once again simplicity strikes back, but its ether passes right through you.

                  Intellectual

                  So funny to hear that word from a person who shows none. I'm not projecting. Reflecting is the correct word, bigotry is all you project. For your benefit, I won't take it seriously because I think better of you. So be happy

    • plants make logical, rational decisions

      Oy! If only our host did!

      Sorry, couldn't resist

    • And apparently plants are greedy, favoring the chance of higher levels of nutrients in a variable supply over a steady, mediocre level. Maybe plants are capitalists.

      And yeah, vegetarians need to drop their faunaist attitudes and looking down at flora as somehow inferior. We have "hug a tree", but why not "kiss a cabbage"?

      • Maybe plants are capitalists.

        The universe is "capitalist". The same principals apply to everything, all the way down to dust and gas. It's called accretion, babe.

        • Again, you don't bother to read or process what's going on. You've decided everything is "simple", so you miss the meaning of what's being said. What was said was that plants evidently engage in risk-taking. That's what I meant by "capitalist". A plant can grow with a steady supply of nutrients. There's your accretion. But apparently plants have been observed to potentially risk any further growth, and even perishing, by favoring a more variable supply of nutrients. So reducing what TFA and I was say

          • painstakingly trying

            You're just trolling, my friend.. I'm sorry it's so painful. There are drugs for that.

            Then I shan't treat you with any respect at all from thence on.

            :-) Heh, as if you ever did. Don't fret, I don't take offense. "Thence"? Trying to do a little Shakespeare thing there? Save your breath. While my linguistics are merely lacking, you are indeed the Butcher of the Balkans.

            • Maybe focusing on grammar and diction is part of why you miss the points and distinctions being made. You're hopeless; you might continue to once in a blue moon be right about something, but it would seem that it's just dumb luck on your part.

              • It's not focusing on mere grammar and spelling. It's having to wear a raincoat to avoid the splatter, in addition to the fact you post plain old gibberish trying to sound all authoritative 'n stuff. You have no point or distinction to make. You simply won't address the fact that you don't have a right to impose your will on women. And I really don't expect you to. You will claim that "entitlement" until your dying day it seems. So, as long as you persist in this charade, mockery is all you will ever merit.
