I consider domesticants animals too. Your problem seems to be that you confuse them with humans. I read the rest of your tiatribe and you failed to ev...

THis question is TOTALLY relevant. Since when did asking a person if they were Jewish become an insult? I'm not interested in his religion, but his "c...

You've grown up with these ideas since childhood and have an unnatural view of animals. It's an indelible part of culture.
April 06, 2018 at 07:30
Cockeyed. Domesticated animals exist because of humans. Without meat eaters there would be no animals on the land at all. Far from living at their exp...

I've lived with them, fucked them, and dined with them. They do not hold up to scrutiny. Don;t be so patronising. I'm way ahead of you.

Neither of these are assumptions, but facts of existence upon which all is predicated.
April 05, 2018 at 21:13
You are placing the 'concept' before the fact, yet it is perfectly obvious that the fact, in this case has to precede the concept. Thus, you have your...

Care to offer some evidence???
April 05, 2018 at 18:53
An empty claim requires no argument.
April 04, 2018 at 20:55
Obviously. But that is question begging. What is just?

In other words kick off the dirty Arabs and their goats, and build a weapon's factory.

I'm not the only one that cited evidence. If you do not want to read it then that's your problem.

This is laughable. It's the same false argument used by white genocidal maniacs all over the world from South Africa to all the Americas.
