PETA? Treating animals in an ethical and responsible manner doesn't constitute stupidity to me. In fact, not all PETA members are vegetarians, although the vast majority are. The ones that aren't believe that as long as the animal wasn't treated cruelly, it's perfectly acceptable to eat it.dekkarax said:These guys and PETA are proof that evolution can sadly work backwards.
Apologies, I was generalising, the head of PETA had themselves sterilised, for the same reason as these fellows.v3cks said:PETA?

If PETA actually stood for the ethical treatment of animals, I'd agree with you. However, they don't; they're more akin to the Animal Liberation Front. They use unethical means (lying to children is the one that makes my blood boil the most) to promote their ethical stance, and to me that means either heinous malice or just inexcusible stupidity.v3cks said:PETA?

I don't really see how humans have done anything other than what they've been mentally evolved to do. The point of mental evolution is to be more intelligent, therefore, if not to create and advance, what exactly did nature intend by gifting us greater intellect? Face it, no human is morally evil or stupid enough to believe "I'll just pollute the seas" or "I'll wipe out this species". Most of this has been done in past out of a lack of knowledge or it's been a necessary evil, and the end result of those actions is that we have advanced beyond them and are finding more ecological friendly alternatives. You can deny that and claim man is a spawn of evil who wants to destroy, but I'm afraid eco-friendly is the big focus everyone is talking about and going for nowadays. Even if you don't believe the industry would do it out of the kindness of its heart, they'd do it for money because being eco-friendly is more appealing to customers in the modern world. True, humans have done retarded shit like hunt animals for sport, meat or fur, but such things are being looked down on and condemned by society and some have been outlawed completely, so I don't see how the entire human race can be held accountable for that.Portal Maniac said:Yeah, we should stop. Look at how much we've fucked up a SINGLE planet.
Pollution
Extinction
Global Warming
Scaring the Earth (roads, towns, etc.)
Messed up species (marine mammals, buffalo, elephants, etc.)
And probably the worst, all these together have a chance of ending the only life we are sure of in the universe. So bravo humans. You really fumbled the ball this time.

You know how it got the way it did? We didn't have a pretense to compare it to. We can't know to do or not do something if we never learned to. Get a little less naive.Portal Maniac said:Yeah, we should stop. Look at how much we've fucked up a SINGLE planet.

If I had the chance, I would totally wipe out a species, in so long as it was an animal I didn't like. Like a species of killer ants or something (there are thousands of species of ants, I'm sure we can do without one).Locust said:Face it, no human is morally evil or stupid enough to believe "I'll just pollute the seas" or "I'll wipe out this species".

I'm turning 21 in April...
By the way, who or what the hell is Mein Kampf.
I suppose I should've seen this coming, because everything I wrote in it that post is clearly serious... [/sarcasm]
