Unseen, why ask whether anyone can explain it when i wrote it?

In other words if ethics can be reduced to natural order equals ethical then ethics is a worthless pursuit. It is in areas of exigency and great suffering that ethics is required. Is any system of ethics sensible if it has double standards? Ethics requires reason one would hope.…[Read more]

Just checked Reg and TGI Friday has the beyond meat burger which is also vegan. Have had that one and it is decent but i prefer impossible burger. Burger King carries it and calls it has an impossible whopper. No lie there.

Having turned veggie it is really cool to have an i can’t tell the difference burger. Even if i changed course and went…[Read more]

Just had an impossible burger from Costco. Yeah the onions tomato and pickle souped it up. Even so tasted indistinguishable from the real thing. Although maybe it has been so long that i forgot how it should taste.

Any of you had it? If so, opinion?

Unseen, as to your first point i thought you said this is a philosophical discussion. Being natural being tantamount to ethical would negate ethics.

How do i define distraction? The following i got from a dic. def…a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else. I am good with that definition. Were i writing a brief…[Read more]

Enco,

The point of the Powder link is to awaken fat bastards to the reality of the suffering of animals. That bald electric guy used his powers to make the fat bastard feel what the deer was feeling as he lay dying. I agree it is better to eliminate/reduce suffering of the victim but disagree that alone justifies the execution.

I did not…[Read more]

Unseen, i would be happy to participate in a discussion concerning vegetarianism but i have no intention of initiating one.

Meat is indeed a natural source of protein. So are plants. Are you seriously going to argue that being the most natural source of protein is a sufficient basis to justify the slaughter of billions of animals? That alone…[Read more]

Unseen that first link has this quote. Inevitably, those fragile bones break under the enormous stresses put on them. That is not stretching the truth. That is a bald face lie.

One of the links indicates that horses about to be slaughtered know what is coming. I have read same thing many times with respect to livestock. Why do i have this image…[Read more]

Unseen i have acknowledged that there are issues in horse racing. I also acknowledged that the crusader has equitable standing to make his case provided he is vegan/vegetarian which is an assumption i make. I did not say or imply otherwise. We ought not commingle hypocrisy and logical fallacies. So for instance a priest may rail against coveting…[Read more]

Unseen wrote: Yeah, so are pitbulls. But horse racing, like dogfighting, bullfighting, cockfighting, and circuses keeping animals should be illegal.

You need to bone up on horse racing. It’s a brutal way to treat a horse. Horses chasing around in a field for their own pleasure is a whole different thing from forcing them to the edge of their a…[Read more]

Enco, you wrote… just that a quick, clean take-down of a 15-point buck is less cruel than running a horse to exhaustion, then finally putting him out of his misery and into a glue factory if he gets too old or breaks a leg on the track, all for giggles of bastards probably just as fat as the hunter.

Deer are as a matter of survival on edge,…[Read more]

Great weather for a run. Don’t skip it. Skip to it.

Reg, Walsh is a good trainer. Must be running at Fair Grounds or perhaps Gulfstream. You are right that there is a good screen play or perhaps novel that will be written.

Speaking of odd applications to make a runner run faster there is a trainer who has since been banned or retired who applied tabasco sauce to the genitals. He got the North…[Read more]

Wow, Reg, what a bucolic and idyllic setting. But ya know what…the Sheikh is a big time juicer!

Fishman Reveals $2 Million ‘Program’ With Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Equine Hospital

That fat bastard hunter and his kills is pretty fucking sickening. Funny story about a dentist. A place i used to frequent for simulcast wagering had…[Read more]

Yeah, Strega, trophy hunting aka fat bastard hunting is the nadir in an activity that sickens me…says that guy that fished and fished and fished and fished until he stopped fishing. Fortunately i was not a particularly adept angler.

I get the sentiment in wanting to be in the forest and making a spiritual connection all doped up as sprites…[Read more]

Enco,

What are you smoking? Try reefer. It isn’t madness.

It is you who does not give a rat’s ass for added human suffering that is a necessary consequence of libertarianism. What do you want to do…regulate horse racing? Ban it?

Your implied conclusion that abuse of animals is abuse of animals irrespective of its nature and degree is the…[Read more]

Enco, dope in the context of horse racing as i have used it is handicapping. Horses are sometimes doped which means illegal substances are given as performance enhancers. Doping is a colloquialism for handicapping or analyzing the past performances of horse races. Very few horse races are rigged. Most American horse races, however have horses…[Read more]

I support meat eating and hunting. Were it up to me all hunters would be cordoned off in the wild and kill each other until one was left standing. They would eat each other during the contest. Spices would be permitted cuz not all humans are gonna taste all that great when they’ve lived on booze, butts meat and processed food.

As for the meat…[Read more]

Seems as though wild popularity and charisma with a dash of ultracrepidarian (ya see dat Reg) is a meretricious indicator and an indictment of humanity. Exceptions?

Wouldn’t feel as random if i put it in random..

Spiritual is a shite word. In general effective communication requires if not precision, approximation. Unless the goal is obfuscation in which case it is an oblation. I have noticed it is intended as opposite of materialistic. Spirits are spiritual if they get ya fucked up cuz the spirits are…[Read more]
