Well, with people being omnivorous, each instance that we eat meat becomes optional. For example, I chose to eat three beef tacos three nights ago. However, I could have chosen to skip meat that night and eat fruits and veggies. So it’s killing with purpose, but not really necessity. Plus, when I eat meat I purchased, I didn’t kill animals, I only supported the market for killing animals. Anyway, if a person killing meat and eating it to survive is necessity, than I could say that so is squishing bugs out of boredom. After all, I had to make myself unbored. I could do that many other ways, but squishing that ant was just the most convenient.
So I guess it just depends on how far you’ll go out of your way. Most things and most actions aren’t necessary, but instead potential solutions to problems that do necessarily need to be solved.
I’m glad that you find me sounding like a girl, pal. People always say that I talk like a man. I suspect that my last boyfriend left me on that very account, but the guilt is partly mine, afterall I did almost stomp-dragged his dick during some night together. A bug, my friend, scares me no more than a banana. The biggest banana in Brazil poses no threat to me, so neither won’t be the biggest bug. Sometimes I flat them purely because their funky and undetectably small you-know-what, get to me. I’m not a fair judge on that acount. In fact, I’m a terrible judge if you know how I do occassionally practise torture, say, when I lost a round in the boxing ring with guys. Upon a time, I almost contemplated constructing a headchoper, with a mininature bucket, for the big and nasty ones. When they are stone dead, I tend to use a magnifying glass at their genitals, as I did to my boyfrieds’. Men are not so special afterall, thus do I know from my observations. Many men actually, or rather boys, frustrate me frequently. Bananas, cucumbers and the like are of no good. There is no horse or elephant around so I’ll have to settle on the guys. I’m keeping my eye out all the time in the neigbourhood, luckily nowadays, technology enables me a much larger neibourghood - namely the net. There, I just sent you my flurtatious blink. WildArms, you sound like fun, why not try my bolloons sometimes? PM me and let’s check it out first…
Kill a buffalo and feed all but the native American man for a week, kill a spider and increase the fly problem…
The level of detail on this thread is quite extraordinary. What an excellent topic. I think that every regular poster who has not already made a comment on this subject should be banned unless they offer a few words…
I’m sorry… I guess that was a rather arrogant thing of me to say. I guess I just said it out of angst because I’m a vegetarian (lacto-ovo). But the way I think now, I would probably eat meat, because I’ve realized that life feeding on life is necessary, I’ve just been a vegetarian for too long now for it to not gross me out.
Actually, you made me laugh when you posted after my post of the pupa, the imago, and the beautiful butterfly. It is true indeed, that if I were a carnivore, that is so…er, somewhat, kinda, sort of hypocritical…that I didn’t have a qualm about mammals being killed ( this on condition that I had a choice of other edibles), and yet I cry for the beautiful butterfly being crushed. (but others already pointed out some argument on this seemingly inconsistent act, so…).
i choose not to eat meat not because i think it’s unnecessary, but because it’s so… brutal, i guess, is the word i want. it’s not like animal rights, just fair animal treatment. i think it’s disgusting how they’re tortured to death, so i feel good about saving 90 a year from it.
That’s the other reason I still don’t eat meat, because of the way we farm animals. It’s no longer a hunt, or “game” if you will, it’s now turned into a factory of death, which is pretty damn disgusting if you ask me.
lol sorry but i’m a buddhist…that goes against my nature. plus, i knew you were a girl from the start cuz your username sounded girly and you used terms that sort of gave it away…tho ur treatment of bugs is ungirly
Alright well, last night I tried killing a spider and felt bad about it and I eventually just gave up and walked away from it…I think I have seen Charlotte’s Web one too many times.
Uniqor looks manly, but might sound girly if you pronounce it as yoneek-or, which also sounds a bit funny. How much I look like a man, might shock you right to the point of shivering and trembling. You do not see a better transexual operation perfoemed onto anyone else. That’s right, I grew up in one of Bangkok’s most perverted gettoes. Here is the deal for you to see one of them instantly whom others have to fly over the ocean to Tailand to see: post a picture of yourself in the forum with no underware of course. Your sacrifice for the fun seeking eyes of ilpers here will be amply repaid…
