@Cliff-Mashburn saidNot only do they not seem to discuss an issue, they are always angry
@shavixmir
Well at least they weren't talking about putting two bullets in the head of a Republican rival and hoping his young children get murdered in front of their mother..
And THEN the Dem party backs him up 100% and refuses to acknowledge that he said it.
@shavixmir saidBut if people in the US were eating dogs, do you think that such people were of a different culture? Would you invite them to your birthday party in the back yard, people like that, a culture like that? Can liberals answer straightforward issues and just say the truth? What else is a forum for? You posters make it a bunch of seeing who can say catchy things that mean nothing
People have been known to eat rats and tulip bulbs too.
It’s not wide spread.
And no one in the US is eating dog meat.
Unless they’re starving on the streets or something. And then the problem isn’t the eating of whatever someone can find, but acute poverty and starvation.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidLet other people eat dogs or throw gays off of roofs, but we could hardly co-exist as we do what we do , be it cuddly and warm eating snails or whatever. That is all that I am saying. An Indian is right to likewise say they are not comfortable around cow eaters. I don't blame them one bit.
The issue in your post is viewing dog eating as abhorrent (which of course it is) while presenting your own culture as warm and cuddly eating hamburgers and steak, disassociating it from the actual source of those foods 'a cow,' which other cultures (India for example) would equally view as abhorrent.
So you make my point with this post, thank you for standing up. It is nice to chat. You see, all of us think what I am saying but only you stood up. Why don't they.
@MickeyD saidIt could be any culture. If you or your kids are starving you will eat dogs and rats.

@KellyJay saidIt’s not an accepted practice in any South or central American countries.
In a town I lived in in Illinois, it happened. But if people believed the borders were secure while millions were pouring in, it shouldn’t be surprising that they accepted only what they were told by the new agencies they trusted, not reality itself. If it is acceptable in a culture, why would it suddenly not be if you move when you go somewhere else where it isn’t? Do people start eating pork as soon as they move to the U.S.?
You know you sound a bit racist, right?
@shavixmir saidstarving has no to do with this i would eat one worm if i was starving

@shavixmir saidi give up. how bout the weather today

@shavixmir saidAnd that changes anything I said, how?

@moonbus saidWe of course evolved as a species and meat eating is very much part of our shared ancestry. (My point was that Christians, especially those who take stories such as the great flood as historical accounts, have to deal with meat eating being a concession and that man in God's image was originally vegetarian). Later, in the NT, Jesus feeds the 5000 with fish, so perhaps being a pescatarian is the way to go. (He also gave a nod to drinking wine which I'm pleased about).
When you put live lobsters in boiling water, they scream. Some people say it’s just their shells expanding. Same thing applies to plants. They don’t wanna die anymore than the lobster does. It’s just that humans don’t hear them scream. That’s the humans’ insensitivity.
As you well know, the flood myth is an allegory; it didn’t really happen. What it means is that when cata ...[text shortened]... things, as many as possible.
Humans are in a perfect state; some of them just don’t know it yet.
And you can't compare plants to sentient beings. You just can't (I won't allow it).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidGood for you, where did it come from? Does your views align with everyone else or are they just yours?
Yes sir. My morality and care for other living things is fully intact, even without a fictional deity to point the way.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidBecause the answer is the same, you have no reason outside of yourself.
We've had this conversation at least 34 times.
Bit boring.
