Childhood indoctrination

[Something completely different]

But you clearly are unable to justify your exploitation of animals either, so you have deferred to a default setting of continuing to exploit them. How are you deciding where to place the burden of proof (or justification)? Seemingly childhood indoctrination plays a role. Every time you buy food you actively make a choice: violence or non-violence. It takes some pretty powerful programming to make us actively choose violence.

Wrong! I repeatedly stated that I considere humans to be supirior, we have a civilisation, greater awareness over our surroundings, are capable to learn and establish knowlege which are unrequired for simple survival, have surpassed the stage at which our behavior is primearely controled by our instincts and are capable of creative thought.

Only because you dont think that this is not a valid justification this does not mean that you are right.

The burden of proof is on you to show that I am wrong.

And all you did is make insultingly stupid statements which would be considered plain ans simple biggotry if it werent for your obvious stupidity.

Such as comparing the animal rights issue to the lesbian and gay rights movement as if gays and lesbians were somehow animals!
