Dr Grass, I admire you for taking part of this discussion and speaking up for the rights and integrity of animals.
I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons too, but less radical than you on the general topic of animal rights and ethics. |
Please do not mistake my responding to all those points because I'm 'radical'... or fanatic... or whatever.
I just took time to respond to each argument I consider to be mildly insane. Sometimes you have to accentuate what you are trying to say in interesting ways.
People can do whatever the hell they want - that is the way of the world. But when they spread these falsities due to ignorance then I simply cannot let it go by unchallenged - sorry.

Aren't you more radical though? Isn't this an expression of you being radical, your very responces in this thread?

The word 'radical' is as misused as the word 'cult' imo. If, literally, you mean radical, then yes - my viewpoints differe radically from the average person's.
But this doesn't mean anything? The average person's beliefs are hardly worth celebrating are they?
LIke the word cult...look at these two condradictory defintions from the same dictionary:
- A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
- A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister
So nr.1 fits Christianity perfectly, while the second has no inherent meaning.
...I took the long way of making the point, so here's the end of it: Why would you label me radical when the only outcome will be that they think my intention is...
*drumrol*
''A person who advocates thorough or complete political or social reform.''
...even though I've explicitly stated that everyone can do whatever the hell they want?
