Daily mail? Lol. Still doesn't justify your meat eating even if it were valid.

I gave you 3 sources and all you could type was "daily mail?"

For educated fellows, there's no harm in reading new stuffs.

It also doesn't justify eating plants. You can survive on just for fruits and you'll survive, at least a fruitarian says that.

Sky777:
Humans are not gorillas, we don't thrive on fruit. We are starch eaters. Civilisations didn't develop based on foraging for fruit all day long. They developed agriculture which gave us stable sources of calories and glucose, which is w fuelled the increase in brain size. How are we going to feed the world with fruit? Crazy. And you still have not proved that plants feel pain.

oooh, boy!! You needed credible sources and I did give you one, at least read na, Mr educated fellow.

here we go.

another one for the road:

Sky777:
This is crazy yo! Are you for real?? You need nerve endings to feel pain. Lol!

Boohoo...

Someone needs education!!

Sky777:
Lol! Would you be kind enough to tell me where I can get the reliable resources on that? Also, how does this support meat eating? It seems, again, you don't realise how arguments work. Furthermore, like I've said before, any harm caused by eating plants is necessary unless you want me to starve and die. Meanwhile, it is not necessary to eat meat.

Think outside the box dear, Google the word "Fruitarian", there are people called plants activist. They protect the right of plants. You can survive on fruits, that would be lovely.

Sky777:
I'm not bickering. You keep quoting, so I will answer you. What's the problem in that? Unless, of course, there is no logic to your argument and you're annoyed with me for exposing that. We are both humans, the same species, so have the same dietary requirements. You don't "need" meat any more than I do, you just don't want someone challenging your choices, yet you're more than comfortable in challenging them.

lmfao, so if I am a fruitarian, I should challenge your choice isn't it??

For plants feeling pains, here we go:

Sky777:
More land and forest is destroyed for animal agriculture than anything else.

and this justifies you action for plants eeeii??

Sky777:
This prove nothing. Plan are alive and are still trying to defend themselves, it's in their dna. But how does that prove that they have a nervous system or feel pain, unless you've done an unpublished study uncovering information that no one has known of before?

anything that has life can feel pain. Plants suffer a massive hormone and chemical barrage internally when they suffer any kind of injury and that's what scientists tells us.

It seems someone need education more, ask the fruitarian what he's fighting for,

Sky777:
Why you ignored what I said about animals being fed plants? So, I shouldn't eat? You also ignored where I said eliminating harm as much as possible. So, it is possible for me to not eat anything in order to eliminate harm? Lol! Of course harm to animals will happen just by humans existing on the planet. You probably killed a bug by accident today already. Do I condemn that? Nope. But, I course, you pick and choose which parts of what I say to listen to. If you can remember, I said I don't need a reason not to cause harm WHEN I DONT HAVE TO. That's the key part. Not too hard to understand. I have to eat plants to survive, so any harm that causes is too bad but necessary. I don't need to eat meat to survive though, so any harm that causes is unethical and illogical.

can we please stop this bickering?? You do not need animals to survive, but I do, I can't do without my meat and all its derivations and by products, I get it. Cool now??

Sky777:
I don't think you're really this dumb, at least I hope not. I think you're just looking for ways to justify something you know is illogical. Like I said before, I don't need a reason to do the right thing, you're the one who needs a reason to go against logic. It's common sense not to harm others if you can avoid doing so! And, it's as if you can't read. I broke down the definition of veganism. As you can see it doesn't limit eliminating cruelty to just what we eat. It's also about clothing, entertainment and anything else that we can do to avoid causing harm to animals. If this is too hard for you to understand, then you need help. Professional help.

You're still dancing round circles, if you're all for animal cruelty-

- other animals preying on lesser animals need this education.

- Farmers need this education.

- You say plants have no CNS, and I ask why plants let off a certain smell when they're being mowed?? Why do some plants grow thicker edges/blades when their "friends" are being cutdown??

Sky777:
It's convenient how you ignore most of what I say, yet claim I haven't answered your questions. I answered you by telling you, not like you didn't know before, that the two are not connected so it doesn't contribute to your argument. If I slap you in the face, me saying that your mum does it too is not connected and is not a valid justification. Do you see this? Gosh! It's like talking to a brick wall. And, I don't know where you get your information, but no one kills animals to grow plants. If they have died already, that doesn't add to your point, seeing as meat eaters don't eat animals that have died already. I hope, for your sake, that you're not serious about most of what you've been saying, I doubt if someone could be so lacking in rational ability.

chaii, what is the use of pesticides?? and you talk about rational ability??

hahn:
The Christians worried about it and were able to create 33,000+ denominations

An athiest worrying too much about something he doesn't believe. Woooowwww, I think you deserve an award from the Pope.
Don't stress it, indulge yourself in something you believe in, that would give you long life, but worrying about something that you don't believe it exist does kill, this is my e - nairalandly - friendly advice. #clapsformyself

Scholar8200:
It should not be the rationale for believing in God in the first place!



Where did you get this idea from?

Like I said, the choice is yours. However, it seems you are taking this decision due to a delay in a prayer request.Am I right?

Ooh No, why did you do this?? Trust me, this dude is just gonna waste your time, his mind or heart or whatever is made up!!

hahn:
Good to know.

Don't forget to remind Jehovah of the 2,100, on average, that die daily of preventable diseases and poverty. It seems to have forgotten about them

oooh, why do I need to remind him?? You've been thinking too hard on the issue?? Is it giving you sleepless night?? Leave the Christians to worry about it.

Sky777:
If you don't understand how arguments work, that is your problem not mine. I'm not your philosophy teacher. I'm not here to teach you how logical fallacies don't support arguments. You are taking supplements already. Unless you don't eat. A lot of foods are fortified. And animals are given b12 supplements, so by eating the animal you are ingesting second hand b12. Why not just take it directly. It seems your the one who doesn't know what a vegan is. It is not a diet, it is a lifestyle that seeks as much a possible to eliminate the exploitation of animals in food, clothing, entertainment ect.

And here I was thinking I'm quoting an educated fellow.

Second hand B 12? Not Fifth hand?? buhahahahaha. If animal cruelty is your only reason for adopting that lifestyle, then you've not done well. Take a look at animal cruelty holistically and do not choose one that favours you.

Adios.

hahn:
You guessed wrong
Long time. Hope Jehovah has been good to you

I am actually right, yeap, how are you, and yes, Jehovah had been good to me.

Someone needs a validation from ME I guess??

Sky777:
You really are uneducated, i'm glad you admit it yourself. Do you know how arguments work? You don't use random things that have nothing to do with each other to prove a point. Animals having to die for plants to grow does not prove that it is right to kill them for food; the two are not related. Why don't you understand this? Man is not an omnivore by nature even though he has chosen to be. If you study the human digestive system, compared to carnivores and omnivores, you'll see that humans' intestines are much longer than any carnivore or omnivore. When you look at our teeth, do you really believe they were designed for sinking into flesh? Or, the fact that we have no claws. If you're an omnivore, go and chase down a wild animal and kill it with no tools. Lol! Omnivore indeed. I don recommend doing that because even if you're fast enough to catch it, which is unlikely, your struggle with it could kill you. Humans have our organs in an exposed position, something that would put omnivores and carnivores at risk when they catch prey. Have you ever heard of a cat or dog getting heart disease from eating too much saturated fat? I haven't! That's because they are real meat eating animals. Humans are not, that's why we can't handle so much animal protein. No matter how we have chosen to live, our nature has not changed.

You just typed gibberish, no answers to my questions and you sit and type and talk about arguments

If you're all for the pain, why do animals die for the survival of plants?

What was your response again?? it doesn't make it right, ok, why not send your sermons to the farmers that engage in such?? Someone is too ignorant. I'll help you, have you ever wondered why vegans/veggies shy away from that topic or give the "yeye" answer you just gave, but then again, they are anti GMO?? Confused lots...

If your only reason is for the pain of animals, I'm sorry, you're just a follow follow and I doubt if you're a vegan, wait, do you know the meaning of vegan??

If I am sticking to a diet and I need supplements, then that diet is from the hottest part of hell.

Sky777:
Actually, no. It's the humans that eat animals that need this sermon. Carnivorous animals need to eat other animals to survive. Humans do it for the taste. It's crazy the silly arguments people come up with to defend eating meat! Are you seriously telling me you're that uneducated, or did you just miss the science class in school that explained the different types of life? Plants are alive, yes, but they do not have a central nervous system, thus cannot feel pain. Why do they call people that are still alive, yet brain dead, vegetables? They are are in a vegetable-like state. They have no consciousness or feeling yet they are alive. Lol! Even children understand the difference between plants and animals, that argument is pathetic and embarrassing. Do you realise the illogic to all of what you've said? If animals have to die for plants to be harvested, are meat eaters not causing even more harm by eating both plants (which you say cause animals to die) and eating animals who have to do, and who are fed plants that, you say cause animals to die. Lol! Ridiculous.

Sorry to dissapoint, as a matter of fact, my school had no science teacher . But, I heard from a plant that Man is an Omnivore!!! Maybe, I don't know the definition of the word "omnivore", can you please help??

Since you're all for the pains felt by the animals, why do animals die so that plant can live?? I need an answer to that please.

It seems someone is grounded in plant studies, when a field is being mowed, that smell let off by grasses is for what??

Please, no grammar, break it down, as You said earlier, I'm uneducated.

It's more of a spiritual problem either occasioned by a nagging conscience when one has sinned, living one's life apart from Christ.Or, a ploy by the devil to drive a person to nurse the idea of suicide.
Joy in the LORD.Fellowship with other Christians prevents it, research has found out.

What did you just type

I feel like unleashing a legion of demons on you. What did you just type again??

Careful dude, don't choke on your hate, it can kill.

SWITANN:
I am my own woman,didn't learn nothing from anybody. you know you haven't given any solid reason why a lady shouldn't retain her last name. just because things have been done a certain way doesn't make it right. a lot of women now keep their father's name after marriage. nothing there....

You didn't learn anything from anybody?? That's new.


Why should they keep their Father's name?? Why not their mother's??

What's in a name anyways?? I'm sure if the op is married to a Rothschild or an Oppenheimer, she would be singing a different tune

annunaki2:
The crusades was a defensive operation against marauding islamic jihadist who were trying to over run europe and to the glory of God they succeeded in ridding europe of your satanic islamic cult.

Oooh, so you know I'm a Muslim?? I give up!!

My last post on this thread would be: Live and let live. Leave the Muslims to do the worrying.

Yeye dey ooze
Mtscheeeeewwww.........

Millerz:
Bull crap!!

Tell that to the thousands of people around the world who lost their lives to Islam last year alone.

And what about crusades carried out by Christians?? Should we turn a blind eye to that??

Sky777:
I am a vegan. You really need a "reason" to stop paying people to torture and kill animals so that you can enjoy the taste of their flesh and by-products? What would be my "reason" for not randomly punching you in the face if I see you? Hmmm, maybe the common sense and decency of not causing harm to others when you don't have to.
You are right, no one placed a gun on my head. I had the intelligence and decency to consider, when the facts where placed before me, the harm that meat eating among humans is causing to our health, the planet and the animals. No gun was placed on my head, but everyday in slaughter houses all over the world, stun guns are placed on animals heads while they consciously struggle and are bled alive. Every day, children in developing countries (such as ours) starve or go hungry while large amounts of grain that could feed them is being used for animal feed. Everyday more of the world's rainforest is being destroyed to make room for animal farming to meet the growing demand for meat from the world's growing population. Everyday, the world's oceans are becoming more and more destroyed and depleating due, mostly, to over fishing. No one placed a gun on my head, I just wasn't afraid to accept the truth when I was faced with it.

I think the animals that eat other animals raw need this sermon, not a human.

And this you wrote up there isn't a reason, no matter how long it is.

The plants you have access to, animals were killed, so that they can be harvested. Haven't you thought about that yet?? Do plants feel pain or not?? Are they not "living things"? If plants could make noise, I'm sure they'll be protesting by now!!

Sky777:
If you feel castigated perhaps it's because you are causing the pain and suffering of innocent animals for no reason other than the taste. Maybe, deep down you are ashamed of that.

Can you please state better reasons than the "pain and suffering of animals"? That line is getting stale.

No one placed a gun on your head to accept the lifestyle.

But hold on, are you a vegan or a vegetarian??

annunaki2:
I am not worrying for them but I am worried for the world and will like to see the world achieve world peace in my life time. Islam remains the by far the biggest obstacle to world peace and the biggest threat to humanity. What I find even more disturbing is that this problem is based on a fraud perpetuated by one man in the seventh century and forced on others by the sword.

If more muslims start to take a hard look at their religion and prophet, they will realise that they are being taken for a ride and renounce islam thus reducing the feedstock of islamic terrorism and making the world a better and safer place.

According to Muslims, Islam is a religion of Peace, and some of them are indeed peaceful. Whatever side of the divide you belong to, there are bad eggs, and you can't use these few as a yard stick to condemn their religion.

Worry about yours, let them worry about theirs. Do not do the "worrying" for them.

1. Because he thinks so doesn't make black beautiful. He should bring facts. I gathered facts around from reliable sources to produce my article he can do the same. That's a debate. You don't say you think so. Chai

2. Even if Seun charge to create thread I would still create thread. I'm a member of some forte forums whereby you pay weekly to be a member so it's no big deal

It is called preference, He said black is beautiful, whether the facts are from Saturn or hell, he said black is beautiful to him.

And for you being a member of bla bla bla, Who cares?? Do I look or sound like I care??
