Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

I mean, I started out just saying I'd kill the kid instead of the gorilla without any further explanation or context. That didn't help, I suppose.

Heh...prolly not. I find it hilarious how people take you seriously to the point of anger, when the simpler explanation is that you're being a smartarse. Probably because the same thing happens to me at times.

You just had a dumb opinion, it's ok, happens to everyone from time to time.

My dad always told me there are no dumb opinions, just dumb people.

When driving by the lake it was a little chilly. No people wearing tank tops, also no people fishing. Still holding well with my theory.

Don't sweat it. People get so touchy about killing kids.

I was actually being serious. Not 100 times out of 100, because obviously there would be scenarios where that's not the case.

To each his own, I suppose. I don't as easily separate one life over the other in terms of value just based on species.

I guess I'd wonder your rationale, because 100 times out of 100, if the choice is animal or human, the animal dies.

Right? I just don't see what the big deal is.

Because walruses are people too.

It's all in the gorilla thread, brother!

That's just silly. It's because people aren't inherently any better deserving than walruses just because they're people.

You vegans are a weird bunch.

That would require me to go into the cave, which...nope...because it ends up with the blind anger you brought up.

Vegans ARE weird. There's an opinion we can agree on!

Unless they are. I happen to believe that humans are special. That doesn't mean we abuse animals, we're responsible for them. I also don't think we should cage up animals so we can go look at them, and if we do, it should be done responsibly, and if you have kids, you should watch them...but if all those things break down, the human is priority over the animal.

And that's cool. That's your opinion and that's perfectly acceptable.

It's kind of like when I go out to eat with people and they feel like they have to ask if it's alright if they get a burger. I don't care. It's your life, it's your choice, eat 20 burgers if you want. I have my personal opinions and standards that I choose to hold myself to, but I'm certainly not going to judge if someone's is different than mine.

You're getting kicked out of the vegan club for that statement.

I know this was just a joke, but I find it funny because I see about 20 times the amount of people that complain about vegans as I do compared to vegans that "brag" about their lifestyle.

Also, I'm pretty sure eating cheese alone would get me kicked out of the Vegan Club.
