It does not.
Yes, that is kind of the meaning of "lesser" and "greater", I said that the existence of a particular wrong in the world doesn't inherently change the moral status of another wrong, not that all wrongs are equally severe.
Why even bother brining it up if it doesn't matter?
Maybe you'd like to present that evidence for use to examine then.
"Feel" is an imprecise word. If you mean they can respond to the stimulus of touch then yes, they can "feel" in that sense quite obviously. But you'll notice I didn't use the unqualified term "feel", and specifically pointed to "hedonic capacity" as a sufficient criterion for moral capacity. You'd have to demonstrate that plants "feel" in the same sense that we "feel" when we experience pain or emotional states to show an issue with my position.
Again, "goals" is a fuzzy word. We might say a drive belt has the "goal" of communicating force between gears but few, if anyone, believes that drive belts have a moral status beyond "inert".
It's perfectly to take a stance that does not mandate the satisfaction of all preferences, or the preferences of all things e.g. many deontologists believe we have a number moral duties but our duties don't extend to non-human animals or that satisfaction of the preference to continue living is not something we have a duty to respect in all cases.
My dick is 12" long and destroyed your mom's pussy last night. I'm coming for your sissy little vag tonight bitch boy.
Look, Jill has an understudy. -

This is a very contentious claim. Firstly "intelligence" is not a term with a uniform definition. Many you'll find are vacuous and apply so broadly as to include clearly emotionally and experientially inert objects. One of my favorite definitions hinges on having "knowledge" which seems to substitute the problem of assigning a good definition to the word "intelligence" to the much larger project of defining knowledge. Then the evidence for all but the most trivial forms of intelligence in plants is a lot weaker that you've made it out to be.
But most importantly intelligence has never been the rubric by which I've assigned moral considerably to lower animals but not plants, nor do I think it is for anyone ITT except perhaps captain falcon. It's the hedonic faculty of lower animals that appears lacking in plants.
Wrong. If the analogy fails demonstrate how. If not then suck my dick.
It's reasonable to prioritize projects which we can expect to do greater good or to eliminate more suffering on a practical level, but that doesn't change the moral status of an act. If you have to choose between greater and lesser evils then of course it's right to choose the lesser (this is why I don't condemn people in the third world for raising livestock if that's really the only way they can sustain themselves) but this shouldn't be the present situation for anyone in this thread.
It's perfectly reasonable to attempt to remediate issues like human malnutrition and our exploitation of lower animals at the same time. In fact it's quite possible to do both at the same time as it requires fewer natural resources to sustain yourself without meat and it's usually less expensive in developed countries, so you can commit the money you've saved with your plant based diet to feeding those less fortunate that yourself.

Originally posted by HTS Liberals aren't socialist. Liberals get the bullet too. Liberals think half of all CEOs should be black, crippled, non-binary women. I think all CEOs should be lined up against a wall and shot. So no, I'm not a liberal. Perish the thought! I whole heartedly believe in a future with one world government whose ideology is Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism.
In other words you just call people names and have no idea what the words really mean. Thanks for clearing that up. -

Originally posted by HTS How can you know what's true if the media aren't reporting it? Hmm? Like I said - the media sets the bar. The only people who think otherwise are biased by their politics and see through a lens that skews the world so that everything that the media reports that doesn't fit their own narrative is not true. But the media reports the truth. It's people who aren't willing to accept the truth that are the problem.
I bet you're a Trump supporter.
I support the rule of law as defined by the constitution. So yes I support the president. I bet you see yourself as the victim. -

Originally posted by totse3.com This is correct ^ right now, I have to wash my shoes in bleach because they really do smell like rotten raw chicken meat. they don't breath very well. and sometimes they burn (not foot fungus.. just the shoes don't breath and get really hot)

You can soak them in vinegar and then run them in bleach in a second wash. it gets rid of the smell for about a month.
the Schulz insert with coal I'm told work pretty well for a few months. but they're like 40 bucks a pair.
Charcoal not coal dumbass.
$5 to $10 not $40 dumbass.

Also, Yume-san, you gotta have realized by now that I'm only like this because it irritates you so much… right?
It's called don't watch. I don't like Don Lemon. I think he is a liar. I don't watch him. Let him say whatever he wants. I don't hear it. That's how adults deal with different points of view.
