Could YOU kill?

Everyone can kill. I'd like to think I couldn't, but I
definitely could. It would take an immense amount of outside
influence/pressure to make me do it, though. I'd have to be
forced at gunpoint to, uh... pull the trigger.

There's no way I'd ever join the army or go to war or
anything. I'd sooner lay down and let someone smash my tibia
and fibula with a sledgehammer then go kill people.

I don't think most vegetarians grow their own food
anyway---->commercialisation of the vegetarian life-style
that leads to the rise of an industry which by default harms
the environment with pesticides and mutated products etc
etc. About what you said: People like them use the argument
that plants have no neural system therefore they are feeling
no pain. Of course that argument is arbitrary. My main
argument is that their whole way of life ,being a tendency
that emerged through the western civilisation, is dependent
on the suffering of the third world people ,for example,
because the west depends on that in order to thrive. They
are causing the deaths of others even if they are not aware
of it.

self-defense. protecting people I love.

I'd NEVER kill by orders.. if I HAD to kill, it should be at
my own initiative, 'cause in such cases, I'd only trust my
own judgement.

Revenge can be had without killing.


By what means:

Whatever would be available at the time of danger.

I don't really get what you are writing here...
Comercialism has NOTHING to do with the vegetarian diet -
ther e is nothing about the diet that states that it has to
be commercialized. Also it's a difference between a cooked
food vegetarian diet and a raw-food vegetarian diet (like
the one I eat).
I eat mostly organic food - in fact I would eat 100% organic
food if I could afford it (and if it was available). I
really do care about the environment but on my tight budget
(being a student) I can't afford 100% organic food, sadly.

reply to X-tomatic:

Yeah ok I missed that you said vegetables. But are you
claiming that vegetables are able to feel the same kind of
pain as e.g. a human? I know plants are able to be afraid
and feel things, but I still think it's different.
I mean do you feel equal about taking a bite off a saladhead
and e.g. a human head? And do bouth organisms feel the same
pain?
Because if not, one choice is better than the other I think
(ethically, or whatever) if one has to eat either of it.
I myself am a rawfoodist (because I feel more safe being a
rawfoodist than a fruitarian) - but perhaps I will become a
fruitarian myself one day (I even know a frutarian [girl]).

If one has to kill to eat - why not kill/cause pain in the
smallest possible amount?
I became a rawfoodist/vegetarian because of bouth health and
ethical reasons... And I personally feel more natural
"killing" vegetables than killing animals.

You assume that animals that are being processed to become
food for humans are killed in an inhumane and brutal way. It
is possible they feel nothing (for example the workers shove
big nails through a cows spine killing it instantly and with
no pain). Of course it could be the opposite but how the
fuck would you know huh? Can you compare the hypothetical
pain that a vegetable feels (however ridiculous that sounds)
to the painless extermination of an animal. Even if the
animal felt pain and was tortured during it's slaughter how
the fuck could you know what a vegetable "feels". True-
neither can I but my point is that you vegetarians are
hypocritical self righteous cunts (there are people who are
just disgusted by meat-they are ok with me). Nothing is
solid against the vegetarian ideal but I have a grudge with
most the vegeterians. Where the fuck is the difference if
one kills one thousand or one million living things? Your
whole lifestyle dictates that vegeterianism is your way to
feel comfortable with yourself and it is based on deluding
yourself. You choose to ignore the fact that even if you
care for the planet you still use a computer, you live in a
city and follow the western way of life. You are sitting in
your couch typing on your laptop living your bohemian dreams
of butterflies and bunnies and kittens and little sheep,
while others are dying in the middle east(mostly workers in
distilleries and arab civilians/lets not forget the western
influence on politics there) so that people like you and me
will get their plastic junk etc. The difference is that I do
not lie to myself and I admit that I am a murderer de
facto-from the day I was born, even if I don't do it with my
own hands. If you decided to go live on your own in the
wilderness and eat roots and shit like that, you wouldn't be
such a fucking pussy. Oh I forgot vegetables lack many key
nutrients like bitamine B12 and they are linked to some
forms of cancer or the Plummer-Vincent syndrome. And
theoreticaly the whole vegan and vegeterian concept

I know. Animals are tortured since the first day they are
born when not born in the free, and they are certainly not
killed in a non-brutal, non-painful way. In a way it's a
relief for them, but that's certainly not an excuse to keep
the system going. I also know that mammals are more similar
to eachother than e.g. a mammal is to a plant, and
eventhough I am not sure that plants live happy lives (and I
am sure they don't, when they are getting pollution on them)
I am sure that animals don't.

True- neither can I but my point is that you vegetarians
are hypocritical self righteous cunts


You really make this an intelligent and open discussion.

Where the fuck is the difference if one kills one
thousand or one million living things?


It depends on if you think that it's possible to value life
(being alive). The difference is if you kill e.g. one
million people: 999 000 more people die, and that is not a
small number.
Ending someone's or something's life is destroying something
(in my opinion) invalueable.
And two lives must be (objectivly but not subjectively)
worth more than one life...

Your whole lifestyle dictates that vegeterianism is your
way to feel comfortable with yourself and it is based on
deluding yourself.


Yes I am a vegetarian because I am comfortable with it (why
else would I be a vegetarian?), but I am in now way deluding
myself. You clearly don't know me, nor do you understand
that people are individuals and that a diet is "only" a
diet. A diet is only about what people decide eat / not eat.
Even you eat a diet, perhaps not restricted in any way, and
perhaps not even healthy, but it's still a diet.

What has this got to do with a vegetarian DIET?
You're clearly discussing something else here.

The difference is that I do not lie to myself and I admit
that I am a murderer de facto-from the day I was born, even
if I don't do it with my own hands. If you decided to go
live on your own in the wilderness and eat roots and shit
like that, you wouldn't be such a fucking pussy.


I have already told you, I am a rawfoodist. I try to live my
life as peaceful as possible, and culturally creative (not
destructive) as possible. If I ever get enough money I will
move to the countryside and grow as much as I can of my own
fruit and vegetables.

Oh I forgot vegetables lack many key nutrients like
bitamine B12 and they are linked to some forms of cancer or
the Plummer-Vincent syndrome.


I did quite a lot of reading on nutrition when I first began
caring about my diet.
The vitamin B12-issue is not yet resolved (sadly), and the
case
is different from different people [also, not just
vegetarians get
B12-deficiency].
There are no vegetables that in their natural form cause
cancer (that I know of), cancer is something one gets from
an unhealthy/unnatural lifestyle.
Eating cooked food, on the other hand, and meat causes
cancer (and there is scientific proof of that).

For the last time: A vegetarian diet does not imply a reason
for being a vegetarian. I am a vegetarian personally because
of health advantages and ethtical reasons.
It's just a definition of a diet where you exclude certain
sources of nutrition; such as meat and milk products.

just because you admit to yourself that what you are doing

qrter--->"just because you admit to yourself that what you

I said that being a vegeterian doesn't make a fucking
difference. It's just some people's consciences ticket out
of guilt. I have no guilt for anything since I'm fully aware
of what I am doing and I am fully aware of the fact that it
is totally inevitable.

if it is "inevitable", you cannot have responsibility - in
other words, no guilt possible.
sounds like you're just as much deluding yourself and
ticketing your consience out of guilt, then.

but I don't see much point in discussing with you anyway,
seeing the aggresive stance you're taking and the ridiculous
generalisations you're making. you don't want a discussion,
you just want to rant. have fun.

down, and bring out his gun to try to scare me cause im
wiggling like a snake to get this fucker off me.

So, I calm down because I dont want to get shot. He sees
that I'm calm, he puts his guard down a bit...

I grab his gun stare at him, tell him if I could I would
blow his fucking brains out. I tell him to lay down, he does
so because he can tell in my eyes that I'm ready to KILL!

Then so I can go on my way, and I know this guy is not gonna
rape anymore girl. I shoot him in his limp dick.

No the thing in question was not guilt. I don't feel guilt.
It is a stupid thing to feel-a mindfuck. Guilt is a social
device-a way to tame people and inevitably a thing keeping
one away from knowledge. There is nothing wrong with being a
hypocrite. But if one does that without realising it one is
stupid or deluded. There is nothing wrong with being
deluded. I personally hate it and hate people that do it. I
try to get rid of all the lies I tell my self without me
knowing even if I don't know when I'm lying to myself.
It is an easy excuse when someone leaves a conversation when
the other party has an aggressive stance. You are a coward
and it is your right to be one. I have arguments... I guess
you prefer to overlook that small detail. And what the fuck
does the word generalisation mean? It is impossible not to
generalise in a conversation. There always people who are
different to a characterisation but I think it's pretty
fucking obvious they have nothing to do with a discussion
because they have nothing to do with the topic.

"

I was simply explaining that even when eating vegetables you
are killing.
Meat eating as it is today and the ruthless exploitation of
innocent and defenseless creatures by the 1000000 billions
is by far the most atrocious crime of mankind and is
drenching the world further into misery and ignorance.

i would think the majority of humans could kill under the
right circumstances.

jonesy mentioned the struggle between the rational and
irrational, the good and evil, and think that has a lot to
do with it. we all have a trigger, i think. the thing that
honestly scares me is when i ask myself these questions and
really try to detach and objectively look inside and what i
see is the fragility of it all. i could imagine a scenario
where a few specific events might happen to trigger my 'turn
to the darkside' for utter lack of a better description. i
don't think i have any real moral foundation, just the idea
of the golden rule and also fear of the consequences of some
actions. kinda sad to say, i guess..
