    Yes, Anaisa. A great deal of this thread is not on topic, but cannibalism is way off the mark.

    I think if you know something is wrong and you keep doing it, you suck very hard. I call it the burden of having a brain. I read the link you posted about slaughter in Britain and now either I have to convince myself it isn't all true, or else my conscience is going to be tortured by my own suckitude. So thanks a lot.

    But cannibilism is meat eating, so it's not really way off the mark. Since this thread has now become a discussion on the morals of meat eating an vegetarianism. If we were discussing random cases of cannibalism or something, I would agree it was way off the mark. But when in the context of whether it's morally justifiable to kill an animal, the comparison to killing another life form an eating it, is not really way off the mark.

    You also suck for buying products made in third-world countries because you know they're paying some kid a dollar a day, but you continue to purchase them.

    Anaisa: Cannibalism is wrong under most circumstances and can't be compared practically to killing and eating non-human animals.

    The cannablism thing is a really valid point and i'm impressed by your thinking. if you're trying to use that example to try to justify an argument that eating animals is bad. If you're not doing that, then it isn't a really valid point and i'm impressed by your thinking. - it's just dumb, because no one actually thinks that, so it's a waste of time trying to argue it.

    It can be compared on the basis of morals. If you believe it's acceptable to kill an eat an animal, but not a human, it gives a clear representation of where your morals lie. An why most people having such double standards, are not in a fit position to make a sound judgement on how animals should be treated. An that's the same reason why you don't understand the comparison.

    Do you drive a car? Do you use electricity that you don't really need? Do you ever eat out when you could eat in?

    Everybody does something harmful or wasteful every day. Most people do a gut-check cost-benefit analysis to consider whether stopping or restricting something is worth it. In the vast majority of cases, most people decide that it's not worth it to them. Sounds perfectly logical to me. Things can be bad, but either not worth the effort of stopping or better than any alternative.
    I bought a car with a good EPA rating a great gas mileage, I carpool when possible, and I moved so that I could walk to school and work. For a long time I drove once a month or two, now because of student teaching it's about three times a month. Next quarter I start student teaching full-time, I'm moving there.

    I do my best to conserve electricity.

    I very rarely eat out.

    If you think something is wrong and you do nothing to try and help, you suck.

    It's not hard to do something. It's not like you have to become a vegetarian to lower the demand for meat, just don't eat as much excess of it.

    Hey, gotta make money somehow. A dollar a day is a freaking lot to those people. It's probably either work in a factory or be sold for sex.

    And I like how when other's are being scolded for discussing cannibalism 'cause it's off topic, you go into child labor. xD

    So everyone except crazy PETA people are wrong then? A cow's life is as valuable as any humans' life?

    Not everybody who cares about animals is a member of peta. An a cows life is just as valuable as a humans life, in my opinion. Of course most people would disagree, because their biased.
