Question for vegetarians

[MartyMarts]

We've been waiting for this since the bacon burger threads.

Clearly there's no rush though :/

This thread should be gold for meat-eaters as you'll get to witness veg*n infighting!

Would make for some great viewing in restaurants. Reminds me of this one woman who wanted the waiter to explain every process of her order.

Come on vegetarians! Your comments on eggs, please.

I feel that animals are not treated right and killing them is murder.

You can see when someone does not understand the legal definition of murder

"Vegetarian" is just an old Indian word meaning "bad hunter".

Irrelevant, it was killed not murdered. By legal definition.

Both the words, "murder" and "person" (murder implies a person killing a person, ie, a house can not murder a person. A person can not murder a cow) have very specific legal definitions.

Should Christians Eat eggs

Can we keep the stupid remarks for the off-topic area?

Looking at this thread, I second this motion.

 

[BCO]

What about dairy?

Thank you captain obvious....you still know what he meant

Yeah, of course I did, that he was misusing a word to make something sound worse than it really is for hyperbolic reasons *shrug*

If we're gonna call slaughter-for-food murder, then as the arbiters of justice, we need to eradicate every single carnivore out there for murder. Does the Lion murder the Impala?

Lions aren't moral agents, and they have to eat meat to survive. But that's a discussion for a different thread.

Indeed it is, and by extension so too is calling our own hunter behaviour murder. If satanboy can say that killing an animal for food is murder, then we can discuss that here.

No, this thread is intended to question why vegetarians take issue with eating meat but not other animal products. It's based on the assumption that eating meat is A Bad Thing. If you would like to discuss whether or not eating meat is A Bad Thing, that needs to go in another thread.
