Moose Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Cows are not cute. It doesn't matter how "nice" an animal is. Koalas can be real bastards but everyone still thinks they're cute. I disagree There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Why do we eat some kinds of animals, but not others? Why do we treat different animals differently? Has already been answered to great degree, but I wanted to share my 2cents.. It's all to do with practicality; pigs, cows, chicken, goats and sheep are, for one, all herbivores (which tends to taste a lot better than carnivores or omnivores like dogs and cats), they grow to a rather large size relatively quickly and are more docile by nature, which has been increased by breeding. They are therefore more cost-efficient and easier to keep, as they don't require meat that the farmer needs for himself and his family. On top of that, almost all of the animals we keep produce various raw materials that we need in other goods; like leather, feathers, milk and wool. While the dogs or even cats skin might also be used for leather, I must assume that it is of lower quality (perhaps due to softer skin) and therefore not as viable as the cow's or other game's skin. As we treat our fellow man differently, based on what he is and what he does for us, so do we treat animals different. Why not give the cow, which puts clothes on your back and food on your table more attention and love, than the fox which steals it? "There's is no such thing as different races, just different kinds of people". If there there is no such as different human races, why do we have, and actively breed different breeds of cats and dogs? We even are racist enough to generalize their characteristics based on breed. Some breeds are calm and needy, some are wild but friendly, some are obiedient but very aggressive, and so on. halp pleez? I for one think it's a bit sad that we can't talk about races in a down-to-Earth way, without it seeming controversial. As you can see here, race does play it's part in our genes. I also think it would demystify the entire ordeal if we simply treated it as an everyday thing, right now I feel race is becoming more of an issue because people are doing everything they can to make it less of an issue..

Walsingham Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 How did we start talking about eating things? I'm starving after my dieting and I for one can't stand it. "It wasn't lies.

Darth InSidious Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I maybe i mispoke, my question was: If we claim that there's only one human race, why do we actively encourage different breeds of animals? Thus, shouldn't selective breeding for animals considered morally wrong, since it really is eugenics? All other species of the genus homo are extinct. Edited January 15, 2010 by Darth InSidious This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.

theslug Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'm surprised no one did a: blck ppl be like this white ppl be like that There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgon Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Lol. A Danish resercher who posited much the same theory says he has been professionally ostracised and that the reserch cost him his career. I don't know anything about the merits or otherwise of his work though. Edited January 15, 2010 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Trenitay Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 That doesn't make it any less crazy. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it.

Purkake Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 We have the normal cardboard ones as well. I don't know why they keep putting it into bags, I guess it's slightly cheaper. We also have real black bread here, take that western hemisphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 So to get a glass of milk you go all the way to the Carpathians, milk a cow and then go all the way back? Life in Hungary is worse than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
