I will not post to this thread again. I repeat I will not post to this thread again. http://allnurses-central.com/ethics-philosophy-religion/you-sick-tired-545013.html
I've been respectful and sympathetic and understanding to those whom eat meat in this thread, and they are just stupid fucking idiots. It's a good thing it's a moderated forum, because I'd tell a few of them bitches to eat shit and die.
Thanks so much for listening my rant. I just had to rant.
So tell me if you agree with this statement or not: "If you eat meat knowing that the animal has been abused, then you are condoning the abuse of that animal".
I agree with that statement. However, most meat eaters refuse to acknowledge that that happens in factory farming. It is turning a blind eye to it.
And, "Hi Tweety!"... we miss you around here!
Agree.
Holy crap, you have 52K+ posts in that forum!
I admit that I only read the first couple of pages and then skimmed the rest... but I sympathize with You. Not only because I agree with You, but because Your arguments/posts are well-constructed and intelligent, and You're up against such stubborn and willingly ignorant shits. :P
I love how some of them end their posts with "WINNING" when they've just written some misinformed statement, baseless opinion, or persistent denial of the facts that You present to them.
So tell me if you agree with this statement or not: "If you eat meat knowing that the animal has been abused, then you are condoning the abuse of that animal".
Of course I agree with that, and I can't come up with any argument that could say otherwise.
...but I suppose I can see how some self-assured omni would be reluctant to admit it. Some of those folks must have an odd definition of "abuse," at least when it comes to other species.
You might not get many people to agree with You there, but like You said, maybe You'll convince some lurker or future visitor to re-think their choices. I'm glad You posted that "skinned alive" video, too...even if some take pleasure in it/laugh at it, hopefully someone will see it and learn the truth.
Hail Tweety! Great posts, sir!
I began to get frustrated by the end of page 1 so I went no further, I'm just not up for being enraged with moronic meat-eaters today. It galls me when people say "they're just animals".....so are we. And no, we are not "natural born predators". To be a predator, one would have to go out and kill their own prey. Humans pay industry to do that for them. I say give them all a big butcher knife, send them out into a cow pasture and see how fast most of them become veg*ns. I applaud you for taking them on, Tweety.
Good for you tweety for continuing to stand your ground and state the actual facts. I couldn't read too far because I just wanted to bash someone on the face!
Nurses are no better than any other group in society as far as giving a shit...but you would think they would have some better arguments based on something factual. I felt like I was reading posts from a bunch of spoiled teenagers.
If I wanted to get really pissed off for some reason...that is where I will go! :o
I gave up. What ignorance. I feel better knowing there are nurses out there like you, Tweety. I support you 100% in this, but I can see why you finally want to throw in the towel. When people are ignorant but open to new ideas, that's one thing. But some people are so happy and comfortable being complete fucking idiots that you can't do a damned thing about it. Then you just have to use your energies in places it might do some good.
I can't say how refreshing it is to hear from you guys. I was beginning to feel like a freak...it's nice to hear voices of reason and be among friends.
I just couldn't help myself and made another post today...the ignorance is amazing, but I do seriously need to let it go.
Holy crap, you have 52K+ posts in that forum!
Very chatty on the forum, as least I used to be. Been a member there almost 10 years. The main forum of nursing topics can be interesting. Most of my posts came when I was an insomniac night shift worker.
I think about of thousands of members there's only one person with more posts than me. Not sure if I should be proud of that or not. LOL
