Quote:Plenty of animal rights advocates present claims for animal rights beyond those recognized by society in general. They find those claims compelling. You don't. Do rights boil down to opinions?Would you like to start a thread about animals rights just to avoid establishing the rights of your god? Go right ahead, I'll be there. Do rights boil down to opinions? In and of themselves, yeah, you could probably stretch and call them that. Not that this makes them less compelling.
Quote:And BTW, when you base your argument on consistency, pointing out your hypocrisy is a valid argument, not a fallacy.LOL...unfortunately it isn't pointing out an appeal to hypocrisy(need a wiki link again?), nor have you shown any hypocrisy in the more common usage of the term, nor would it matter if you had. The only person appealing to hypocrisy here is you, ffs. For some reason you think that drilling out my moral principles, or a lack of consistency in my application of them will excuse you, or god-from having to establish your position. It won't..and -that- is what it means to appeal to hypocrisy. The devil himself could levy this charge and it could not be dismissed simply because he was the devil (though, clearly, you'd very much like that to be the case).
Quote:No, I'd rather stick to sentience. Previously you said, "If I deny another sentient being a right we have determined originates in sentience then who am I to protest when another labors to deny me that right?"All rights, as I've already explained. Is this the part where you just keep repeating questions in the hopes that you can create a perpetual motion machine of deflection?
What rights originate in sentience, and who is this "we"?
Quote:So you're saying that Satan is a vicious bastard. OK.As is the jackass who hands him the tools of his trade on the same bet with full knowledge of what he intends to do.
Would it be fair, at this point, to conclude that you simply can't explain any of this, and that you felt compelled to make a claim which you were incapable of or unwilling to elaborate upon?
