I thought i had adequately summed up what is commonly referred to as the moral argument for vegetarianism, apparently not. Since you insist, i will clarify. The moral argument for vegetarianism as formulated by me: "Murder is considered morally wrong because it causes physical pain to the...

You appear to be missing the point of my post. I was not disputing meat-eating being natural, and i was not suggesting that meat-eating is inherently unethical. In fact i mentioned a specific circumstance where eating meat is justifiable. The point i was trying to make was; that if something is...

Except i did. I would suggest you read my post, i am not going to rephrase it.

If what you mean to say is that morality is determined by society, then i agree. Our perception of what is ethical changes significantly over time, and there is no absolute moral code. I did not state anything to the contrary, this is a straw man. You make the claim that animals do not...

It is disheartening to see so many posters think the appeal to nature argument is at all valid. We do not base our understanding of what is moral on what other animals do, or what our instincts incline us to do. Appealing to nature to argue in favor OR in opposition of meat-eating is fallacious...

You base moral consideration on intelligence? What about severely mentally handicapped humans, do they not deserve moral consideration? Murder is considered morally wrong because it causes physical pain to the victim, and more importantly it is theft of the victims sentience. This is relevant...

The soundtrack for splinter cell chaos theory by amon tobin is probably my favorite. The mass effect games also have brilliant soundtracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsxhy_9iijg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpu5cTk_qvI

Storm by Godspeed You Black Emperor from the album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZ_TgE3x_A Also, how do i embed videos? The embed code never works for me on the escapist.

The will to live is an instinct most people feel very strongly. This instinct is probably what makes the idea of immortality so appealing to us.

The only way i am going to join the norwegian military, is if the norwegian government gets involved in a conflict worth supporting. There is actually enforced conscription for men in norway (even though norway has not been under any real military threat since the cold war), women are allowed...

I would definitively suggest Viktor Vaughn/MF Doom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly9KCN3U24Y

He apparently expressed political opinions belonging far right (in both the social and economic spectrum) on a forum. He held opinions drastically different than those of the norwegian labor party, which could have motivated him to target them. I also doubt that his preference in deity is...

There is a good chance that is in fact him, it does mach the info given on his facebook page. Still hard to believe, even if the evidence suggests it.

How do you know that is him?

According to eyewitnesses four people have been shot on utøya. Police are rushing there fully armed.
