  8.  @raymundhofmann7661  Mate I've lived in india for the past 28 years. You seem to have no clue about the reality of how things work. You have just made for yourself a "convenient" patchwork of incomplete information, just so you can feel confident in having "understood it". You, as someone who lacks the frame of reference, are not going to make shit up and tell me "The mothers and the older women in the family have control over mating in society". Have you read a single line of Islamic history? Have you read anything about the Mughal Empire, or Hindu societal systems? Even in most sects of Christian societies women lack autonomy of their body. Fucks sake right now In the states there are so many nutjobs who just need some hollow catchphrase like "life at conception" to force women to have incest and rape babies among others. Are you even talking about the same world? You have an Extremely Basic understanding of how evolution works. It is clear from the terminology you are trying to use to make your point. "women will go out o f evolution", the fuck is that?? Evolution is simply another outcome of universal laws, like everything else. There's nothing special or random about it. Females of a specie don't simply "go out of evolution" randomly. And we're way beyond the point of it even being possible. Seeing how we've moved on from being asexually reproducing organisms. You're probably trying to rationalize some internal conflict you have toward your understanding and opinion on female humans. Or it could be something else. I'll simply let you know you lack the information to make a coherent decision on this matter, and you need to further study on the topic.

WHICH IS SHARED. The Traits that Species share, are in almost all cases, traits that develop at a stage where the trait sharing species were one. The times where this is Not The case, like bats evolving wings after separating from aves(birds), the traits STILL PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTION. Plants, all plants, and any other form of life, is DEVOID OF THIS TRAIT OF SENTIENCE. Sentience is the PREMISES OF MORAL CONSIDERATION. NON-SENTIENT things do not. The only difference, is the presence of an organ which Functions to provide the organism with sentience. Conclusion: If you eat a cow, pig, horse, dog, etc, using whatever excuse you do, you should have no problem eating humans, dolphins, etc. Because in the end, The cow will suffer, as will the dog, the human, just like anything with a Functioning Brain, no two humans suffer the same, so the excuse of it being different is worthless. This is Scientific FACT. People's Personal opinion or cultural preference can go eat shit and die. Such people reek of self preserving hypocrisy and double standards. This is also scientific fact. Therefore, Not necessarily go vegan, but just Stop being a disease upon the system of life which all are just a part of. Milk can be retrieved without making the cow suffer, or wool, from a goat for example.

  49. atreyu119 "Why are you making an argument for not eating meat altogether when it's the industry that's the problem? Like I said before, what do you think about hunting? It not only provides a good source of protein, but it is also heavily regulated and actually helps to maintain the population of certain species. It's a win/win situation. Also, feel free to critique my argument, as I'm sure it's not perfect."  _ The argument isn't perfect, not just that, it is flawed entirely, and is full of double standards. Beans, tofu, soy, almonds, etc, provide more protein than 'hunting for protein'. They are also void of murder. Here's a question for you. If I go into New York Times Square, and 'Hunted' some humans with my humane bow for my winter meat, because they are most like me and will have the MOST NUTRIENTS THAT I NEED, literally, it is ANY DIFFERENT than hunting a rabbit or Moose? If so, Why?  There's one for you. Next-  You reduce other animals to protein and whatnot. You fail to realise that there are certain humans who are born LESS SENTIENT THAN the Animals YOU EAT. Would you be more comfortable with slaughtering and eating them? You'd actually be saving them from their miserable lives by proxy as well. :D You need to try and refute this statement - There is no difference between killing a pig for meat, or killing a human. - Once you go through all the factual potentials of a good reason to continue, then please, do as you please. You live in a world where your behavior will be overlooked and nobody will bother changing it for you, so be wary, lel.
