Originally posted by Lanny There is no biological imperative. There's the ability to eat meat, but that doesn't give us a positive reason to do it.
You're a nihilist edgelord yeah? There's not much to say on the subject except that you can't find any objective reason why we should eat meat, by your own standards. Sure, you have no reason to endorse a prohibition of meat but you can't claim there's any particular reason to eat it either. If you do you'll have to step out of "everything is meaningless, there are no moral truths lol" and I don't think you're up to that.
If everything is meaningless then he should eat meat if he wants to. -

Sure it would. Video footage of factory farms bothers me too. I think it would be great if the animals were treated better. I still think it's fine to eat meat. I believe killing an animal to consume it is not the same as torturing another living being. It is the natural way of life. -

Originally posted by Zanick You're free to do so, but if you accept the basic proposition that physically harming another living thing is wrong, for example, the mass slaughter which happens in animal-based agriculture on a regular basis, then you should commit yourself to inflicting less of it on them, where the matter is in your control. That means picking the vegetarian option at restaurants, switching from bacon to oatmeal, etc. The small changes we all make add up.
You need a good, rational defense for your choices because this is a discussion forum and you've entered a thread with the intention of arguing about ethics.
I do try not to hurt other creatures unless they hurt me, but at the same time I really like eating meat and don't think there is a good reason to stop. Some animals might be harmed in the process but I suppose that doesn't really bother me. -
2018-02-21 at 11:11 PM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meatWhy can't I just eat animals because they taste good? Or because I want to?
And why do I need a "good rational defense", or even any defense at all? Shouldn't you first explain the moral obligation that I'm supposed to be refusing to accept? -

Captain falcon is the biggest faggot our community has ever seen. I always knew he was a faggot. And everyday he shows everyone what a faggot he truly is. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon How is the view of it as "just paint" any more meaningful than the view of it as "beautiful"? Both those things can be simultaneously true.
I dunno. I suppose we can measure and study the physical properties of paint. I don't know if we can do that with beauty.
Are you saying everything is just a matter of perspective? -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Agency has everything to do with whether or not your will has been formed under compulsion by another agent or it's exertion has been compelled one way or the other by another agent. Saying otherwise doesn't make it so.
So do you believe your genetic information formed spontaneously and that the environment you've been exposed to your entire life is free of compulsion from other agents?
When you were a child and your mom called you a good boy for acting one way and a bad boy for acting another way, do you believe that has had zero effect on how you behave now? Do you believe the media has zero effect on how you behave now? Do you believe my next response has zero effect on your next response? -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Not if those sentiments are from your point of view as well. From my point of view,, I don't view Obbe to be god. From my view Obbe is a stupid retard. But that's not more or less meaningful than your view of yourself to you.
Ok. So when you say "human behavior can be something else too," you really mean to say that it can be viewed as something else. But that's all you mean, right?
