My point is, there is no more rational justification for not-cannibalism as there is for veganism or omnivorism. We need to find out IF there can be a rational way to judge these things.
Yeah, that sounds boring as hell. I have talked to Vegans before (not saying you are one), and if one thing I have found out that they are very religious about their vegan beliefs. The vast majority of vegans I have met are extremists. some have flat out told me that if they could, they would have me arrested for eating meat, and they would gladly force every single human on this planet to be vegan like they are.
One time I was at a friends house and we had a vegan over there as well. We were feeding his snake a live mouse and the Vegan got offended. Get this shit, she said that feeding that mouse to the snake was cruel to both the mouse and the snake, and that she openly expressed her wish that the snake was a vegan like herself.
Needless to say, the idea of discussing food with a Vegan doesnt go well with me, as they tend to be so radical and off base that I frankly find them to be twisted.
Its one thing if you are a vegetarian. I have NO problem with vegetarians who are cool and easy going...but if you are one of those activist vegans who are trying to force your vegetable religion on me and the rest of the world, then I am your enemy.
