Are you religious? If not, life is just a biological accident. Eating a plant or eating a dog is all the same, using the resources this planet has. Otherwise you're just hurting yourself.

*applauds*

what a wonderful, generalizing assuption you have made there. good job.

Vegetarianism is a discrimatory belief that places animals above plants, much like Hitler placed Germans above Jews.

Humans are omnivores, right? I don't deny my dietary nature. If people just want to eat veggies, then fine by me, as long as they don't shove it down my throat, so to speak. Me, I'm closer to carnivore. The barbarian diet if you will. Perhaps my far-future offspring will hunt and eat yours!

Actually by eating meat we slowly introduce poison into our body. Our intestines are too long to get the meat out of our body before it starts rotting. I am more worried about the pregnant omnivore and her poisoned baby. And Im getting so tired of hearing people say that they "cant live without meat..." because its really not that hard, especially when you think about all that happened to the animal before you selfishly devour its flesh.
By breathing we're slowly giving ourselves cancer. Big fucking deal.

Do you condone the eating of dogs? YUCK!!
And whether one is religious, which I happen to be, or not we can agree that our world should act upon certain moral/ethical laws that keep society in order. One doesn't have to be religious to have to follow a code of ethics.
the husband went to a restaurant in korea where you pick out the dog your party will be eating just like we pick out our lobsters from a tank in the US.

i have no problem with cultures that decide dogs are food. its all equally moraly or immoral, the pet status of a dog doesnt change it. (not that im saying that its OK to eat someone's beloved pet, just that the fact of some dogs BEING pets doesnt make it immoral to eat dogs that arent anyone's pet)

Obviously we should eat people too. And to be extra fair, we should make sure we eat every race of human! Oh, and we should also eat various other substances, we can't have the dirt, hemlock and motor oil feeling left out.
