2017-01-16 at 1:13 PM UTCNot killing is against my morals.

2017-01-21 at 3:50 PM UTCI follow the Hindu moral practice of ahimsa, which means I don't eat anything from the animal kingdom, but I also don't harm them or facilitate actions that do. I do my best to follow this conviction, although the way our economy is structured makes it difficult. I may choose the vegetarian option at a restaurant, but while I am ensuring they will continue to offer the salad or veggie burger, I also pay for them to continue stocking their meat. I settle for reducing the harm I commit, both directly and inadvertently, by as much as I might consciously be able to. The moralist who thinks they can distinguish themselves by virtue of their intentions is just as much a problem as the world that indulges in killing.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Srs question, doesn't the Gita ultimately say that killing isn't a problem because death gives way to new life and it's more like changing state and not anything final?

he's just trying to compensate for being a horrible person. the supposed religious element is nothing but a post-facto rationalization. -

2017-02-03 at 8:23 PM UTCFactory farming is pretty sick when you think about it.
Killing humans, the only reason that most people would feel guilt is social conditioning. Killing is natural. Then again, when you get older and realize your own mortality, and really consider it for the first time it does cause you to think. Even if you aren't into any religion, or manmade morality. There was some german writer that wrote about the human mind outgrowing the universe or being over evolved. Our worries and concerns the universe can't provide answers to. While animals are perfectly happy just to eat and fuck. While humans want to question everything and overthink things. The universe can't provide us the answers.
Also, thinking about things you would like to do and doing them or two different things. For instance you may fantasize about beating someone to death with a hammer or dismembering them but in reality if you were forced to do it you would want it to be quick and not have them looking at you. I'm not sure why. It could still be remnants of that social conditioning ingrained in our mind. That tell us killing people is wrong, and the government needs to maintain a monopoly on violence. Of course some people aren't like that. Some people are capable of real brutality from the start and never have a second thought about it. And there is also a big difference between planning on doing something and just being caught up in the moment. Idk how it is for the military either. I think it may come easy for them because for one it will normally be one of those "in the moment" things, and they have a permission slip from the government to be doing it.
TL/DR: I think killing would be harder for some people than they think. Depending on the situation. -

Yeah all that technology and humans working in unison to end as much life as possible in an 8 hour shift, very brutal.
I had an idea for a video once where its like a conveyer belt of people at the slaughter house hacking away at slabs of meat with cleaver and then shutters roll down on all the windows and the doors are all locked, and animal meat is switched for live humans strapped to the belt and as they move along the workers hack away at their limbs, blood flying everywhere, horrible screams. There would be children and infants mercilessly cut up like cheap pork
This would be playing on the loudspeaker

Then suddenly the music would fade out, the shutter would roll back up and the animal meat would come down the line again and the workers would just keep working like nothing happened. I thought of this while doing work on a belt. Very sick indeed -
2017-02-04 at 12:34 AM UTCKilling is in our DNA. We evolved into killing machines and suddenly deciding killing is bad is not going to do us any favors because your life can depend on it. Our lives do depend on it, if you remove the moral relativism, killing a plant isn't any different than killing an animal.

Those weird sonic emitters worked better for me
Most of the time I'm fine with the idea of killing but I'm not going to do it for no reason
I do have exceptions though. I like mice and feel really bad whenever I see devices intended to kill them, they're only trying to survive
Spiders too. They're very helpful to us but we hate and kill them because we're scared of them
I'm somewhat scared of them but I usually just blow them away with compressed air when I see them (rarely)
but it only goes so far. I wouldn't let them take over my house and shit

I had a mouse recently. I don't like killing animals but for the sake of sanitation I laid out a mouse trap. That cheeky cunt set off the trap like 5 times without actually getting caught in it. I ended up nailing a board over his mousehole.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

That's inhumane! There are no-kill traps readily available. Letting it slowly starve to death in the dark is barbaric. As would have been letting it have its internal organs crushed by a rapidly accelerated horizontal metal bar. Do you honestly not consider this torture?
I'm actually serious, btw. -

See? A little switch and suddenly no one cares. -
