"what kind of perspn would work at a sluahgter house? sick people who like abusing animals...therefore its no surprise that workers don't always follow the humane sluahgter"
Not everyone that works in a slaughterhouse likes their job - some only do it to pay the bills and because it is a necessary job that is required to in order to eat meat.
Don't get me wrong. I love my steak, but some people don't kill the animals in a "humane" way and thusly I don't buy from them and buy from farms that do kill the animals in a "humane" way.
"still eat them anywya? shouldnt we be smart enough to know that killing is wrong?"
Killing is wrong... but we all must die at some point in our lives. We are not immortal. Yes we can live and not eat animals, but that does not mean that it is wrong to eat that which must die anyways. If we were to let all the cattle and all the chickens go free, they would die. The only reason that they are still alive is because of us.
Not saying that factory farm chickens are good, because they are an abomination. Raising cattle for leather and meat, is justified, as we need the clothes and food, but only if they are treated correctly.
"if you like chocolate chip cookies and your friend is allergic to them, is giving them chocolate chip cookies a nice thing to do??"
It can be. If you did not know/forgot that he is allergic to them, then it would be a nice thing to do. If you know that the cookie will cause him harm, then no.
"why does a person with bi polar disorder (who is most likely suicidal) need to be off thier meds for over a year w/o incidents to qualify for health insurance? because it's a pre-existing disorder? ha bullshit. made up word. these things target straggelers: the weak-minded, the poor, the minorities. they (and i myself obviously) are of no use to society as w hole. no one gives a fuck about individuals"
That's pretty much just the USA. Go to almost any other country and you can get health insurance regardless of which medical conditions you have. (watch Sicko for proof if you do not wish to travel).
"stop trying to be perfect. ther eis no perfection.
don't strive for equality, it does not exist."
~shakes head~ You've been watching Fight Club too literarily. What this was supposed to mean is "Don't bother being perfect, it's a fools quest to think that you can be "perfect". Just be who you are and try to make yourself the best that you can possibly be."
Just because we cannot become truly equal (which on a long enough timeline you can come close enough to call it equality, even though we will probably die out before that) that does not mean that we should not bother trying to treat each other as equals.
"why did the germans accept hitler as their leader? they were desperate.
its all done to sway to vote and to creazte unity within the nation."
Less than half of the Germans actually voted for Hitler and most of the ones that did vote for Hitler were blind-sided by his true intentions. They only voted for him because he burned down the German parliament building (blaming it on his opponents) and because he was the only one that offered the people a solution. He (narrowly) passed laws that would make it so that the minority government (the government with more votes than the other groups [3-5 other main ones]) could pass any law they wanted. Not only that, but after Hitler passed those laws, he almost lost his seat of power. After that, he used fear to guide the hand on who to vote by using Gobbels to indoctrinate the masses.
"follow your heart because sometimes your eyes will lie."
And your heart can also be deceived, thusly walking blindly towards a lie. Use your mind and think instead of just going with your instincts.
"i can only know for sure what makes me feel good,,, what makes ME happy. so why not just go with the flow?"
"WWIII is near. our ozone layer cannot repair itse;f as quickly as we deplete it.
so many reasons...which will be the catalyst of the apocalypse?"
This just contradicts half of your first paragraph's argument.
If you like meat, and eating meat makes you happy, then why care about the cows or chickens? Why not just say "fuck them" and eat what ever the fuck you want? Same thing goes with smoking, saving the world, giving a shit about the environment, ect.
The main reason that there is going to be a WWIII and the reason why we are ass-raping our environment is because we are saying "Fuck them, I'm going to do what I want." You want to know what the catalyst is?
OUR FUCKING ATTITUDE!!!!
The only thing left up to time to decide is when and what will spark the powder keg.
louied, it would be nice if we could implement that (the hunting - I would actually love it), but we have killed all sentience in animals and the ones that actually can survive on their own are few in numbers.
Not only that, but 90%+ of humans would die off within a year. (not saying that this is a bad thing necessarily) but we would still be fucked because unless we fix the world (and it is still possible if we devote everything to the cause) the world will die (well most animals and plants, some may still survive).
