Do you agree with Albert Einstein?
April 23, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Einstein wrote, "I have always eaten animal flesh with a somewhat guilty conscience." and also, "So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore."
This is a joke

It "seems to me" that Einstein was most likely not an authority on human biology, but in this case, he was at least half right.
Yes, it is.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There is no grounds to disagree with Einstein about whether his conscience is guilty and whether he felt better without meet, fat, and whatever he else felt appropriate to weave into such a pitifully confessional sentence as this.
But those feelings don't apply to me or my conscience, nor would I insinute they should apply to any others.

Hey, this time I am appealing to [false] authority. If it's good enough for Albert, it's good enough for me!

Sorry. I posted this as a bit of a joke. I know it's lame. There was no need to open up the debate again as I kicked ass in my Richard Dawkins discussion. A bit unnecessary really.

I wasn't aware that human beings knees were capable of bending backwards far enough to the point of kicking one's own ass so thoroughly. So necessarily.

Don't be too hard on yourself, your lack of awareness could be attributable to your diet!

One appeal to authority wasn't enough? Just had to fabricate another, eh?
