What's new

President Assad gasses and Donald fiddles

I think this thing comes down to whether or not you believe in God.


If you do, then killing and eating animal is not an issue because he made animals for us for that purpose. If you are an atheist, then I think you're more incline to have an issue with killing animals because you would view all living things on a level plane.
 
Im a godless atheist and if i hadn't just eaten too much pizza i'd happily tuck into a lamb roast. Don't think god has much to do with it or anything really.
 
Also think it's an 'out of sight out of mind' thing.



If you're made to watch a chicken being killed before a KFC meal, I think many people would rather skip that meal.
 
They might get a taste for it too, i'd happily watch my neighbours yappy pet dogs get slaughtered before i tucked into a salad.

Yeah but would u happily eat that dog?


Extra question: If you're forced to hear a cow wailing for 30 seconds before having a steak, could you happily eat that steak? Could you do that everytime you're about to eat beef?


Extra extra question: If you're forced to kill everything you're about to eat 'by hand' and use that meat to cook every meal, not counting the hassle of it all, could you stomach each meal?


I dunno about you but if I'm forced to do those things I might just become a vegetarian.. LOL..
 
**** teh chickens.

Sorry siro

Agreed. (Though I'm not an atheist, I see the merit. I'm an agnostic.)

I probably wouldn't eat the neighbours dog cause its old and small and probably pretty tough. None of the rest of it would bother me in the slightest. As an example, at work I've started my dinner, had to release a body, gone back continued dinner. Think that sort of stuff either bothers you or it doesn't.

But for most people wouldn't you say that would bother them? Especially woman?

Are you asking me if i'd eat a woman? Suppose it depends on the women i'd give her a chew if she was willing to... Ahem...

Suppose it depends on the woman, my family were farmers I grew up with stories from my grandmother on how to slaughter animals properly, my grandparents kept and slaughtered animals, chopped up and processed pigs. It was normally the women in the family that did most of the work.

Ok, you've got a great family.


But I'm not going back to the time of the caveman where people just kills and eat animals cos food were scarce, I'm talking about 21st century where most people buy their meat from the supermarket, and we now have literally thousands of food options.

True but eating the neighbours dog while they were forced to watch would be pretty sweet.
 
Ok I think we should call you "the Anthony Bourdain of Jazzfanz".. LOL.. (the exotic food guy).


Oh man I love it. Everywhere I go I try the local delicacy, lama, goat, guinea pig, horse, had rain deer and elk for the first time last year, ****ty I didn't get to try that rotting fish Scandinavians eat. Whale is something i'm curious about, dog and cat is supposed to taste pretty good too.

LOL .. that's what Bourdain does on his 'No Reservations' tour.. LOL .. it's entertaining cos he eats all these weird stuff so we don't have to.. Hahaha..

Your party cheerleading is extremely tedious.

I'm sorry, but I think you're unecessarily dismissing his post and its questions. His larger point is absolutely valid; Asad has been acting very bad for a while now, while, previously, the Republican controlled Congress effectiely handcuffed Obama in dealing with it, saying he could not act uniltaterally without Congression approval. Now that a Republican is in the White House, suddenly it's ok for the President to act unilterally.

Syria and the Middle East, generally, are a big mess. Judgement, prudence, wisdom, and a long-term view are necessary to figure it out without making things worse. While Obama's ME policy was far from perfect, we now have a man in the White House who lacks judgment, prudence, wisdom or long-term perspective, and a Congress who now appears ready to let him act on his worst impulses without adequated checks and balances (frankly, all of Trump's impluses can be categorized as 'worst.')

Does anyone feel comfortable with Trump calling the shots on this (or other international crises) and with a Congress who has abdicated its oversight responsiblity to him?
 
Yup, kind of like how Bush got blamed for everything. Politics.

Well he did invade Iraq, oversaw the destabilization of the Middle East and Islamic world (in fair part due to his invasion of Iraq), and the worst post WW recession did occur on his watch. He wasn't necessarily to be blamed for all bad things that happened during his tenure, but boy oh boy, he sure seems to carry some of the blame for some pretty bad outcomes that occured while he was in charge.
