: HaP: "I respect both humans and animals and plants, the difference is in the value of their lives. And if you don't agree with me in saying that the life of a plant or an animal is less then a human then you are a liar.": Um... no offence, but who the fuck are you to call me a liar? You have never met me, and you have condemned me without any trial. I love the cats who live with me more than I love you or most humans. To me, their lives are more precious, as are the lives of certain humans I care for. Does this mean I think they have more RIGHT to live or that their lives are WORTH more? No. Regardless of what you think of me (and I have gone on record in this forum numerous times saying the same thing and all my close friends know this of me) I do not consider human life any more or less significant or valuable than any other form of life on this planet, be it deer, moose, dog, cat, loon, oak tree, dung beetle, or some friggin' hunter. Don't you tell me things about myself, unless you're going to ask some questions first.
Let me ask some questions then:
How old are you? Where do you live? Are you a vegitarian? Do you like long walks on the beach? How do you feel about killing plants? Do you eat plants?I did not call you a liar i only said that if you say the life of a plant is higher then a humans you are a liar. Because you must eat plants and if you do then you must feel their lives are less then a humans other wise you would have no problem eating a human.(however sickening that may sound)Also you have told me that a garden would be better then hunting wel that must mean that you feel the lives of plants are less valuable then the lives of animals. You will gladly kill a plant but not an animal.
: So I get the food thing (still it's less efficient energy-wise than gardening, but...) Now, about conquest... can you explain to me why you feel the need to victimize and subdue other life forms?
nope i cant. Like i saids before there are some feelings in hunting that just cant be explained.
