But seriously, what's wrong with treating animals a little better?

This is why I don't take your opinion 100& seriously in this aspect. It's simply a reality and if you wish to undermine it then you are part of the problem.

The best propaganda is based on the truth. Doesn't mean it isn't propaganda. And having it shoved in our faces makes us want to bite. If you want a rational discussion on the issue, please do start one.

RE: Keep Eating Your Fucking Meat
Was I being irrational?

Okay, explain to me why this is proof enough that animals on farms such as these are mistreated in an appalling manor and deserve a decent life. How is this a negative thing [the video]? How is this negative propaganda? It's trying to make change for the better and it's a noble cause.

You didn't make anyone uncomfortable, you made yourself look like a fool.

What's wrong with giving a fair picture of the farm and meat industries?

Why, because you struggle to account for your own biases? That video is propaganda, the worst of the worst of cases complied for pure shock factor, to bypass the human ability to deliberate effectively on the issue at hand and instill biases that taint judgement in favor of their position.

It's a dirty trick, no context, no statistics, exactly like showing a compilation of drunken violence and then arguing from that to vilify everyone who drinks. Yeah the animals in that video were poorly treated, but that does not represent more than a small fraction of the industry as a whole.

If you'd called the factory farm owners "cocksuckers" you might have been able to save face, despite showing a propaganda film, but to pass the brunt to [b]everyone[i] who consumers meat is absurd.

Here's a challenge for you - Before you decide to condemn people for eating meat, why don't you provide the basis for your self-righteous moral judgements?

Careful now. He hasnt condemned anyone. Mind that you read the title to the topic when he posts "delicious" in it as well.

I think he is just disgusted at the system, not the omnivorous habits.

If I am correct, then please respond with a smile

Fair enough. Please, I beg you almighty Void, forgive me!

Oh, it's a fair picture. Besides, I'm not speaking of the industry as a who;e in the first place. Only the corporate owned companies tend to act in this way it seems.

Uhhmm... I'm pretty sure that there's a problem being addressed here through this video. It's a problem and it is biased. Biased towards the side of justice.

I have no statistics at the moment but even this minority needs to be fought against. What's wrong with that?

Yes I am sorry about the cock sucking thing.

Hey look! Someone that doesn't take things out of context! It's a miracle!

Sure, calling someone "Cocksucker" isn't a form of condemnation.

It was used pejoratively. It was an insult, it was meant to be an insult. It was not an accident.

There is no hope in humanity.

Some people do, but you must be aware by now that there is no hope for humanity.

We are probably hundered of centuries away from becoming a vegetarian species, if ever. More that likely we won't make it, there are more pressing matters that will stop us before then.

Thats not to say you can't enjoy life.

The production of meat produces massive amount of green house gasses, which in turn, add to the Climate Change problem. Climate change will cause massive problems for the human species in terms of lives, belongings & the economy. To stop eating meat would be one way to stop this pending catastophe & human suffering.
