Intelligent people don't feast on carcasses.☕

Give it a rest. There are plenty of people out there who have no choice but to eat meat, through no fault of their own.

son, here’s a little something you clearly need to hear - 🙈

Look, this is exactly what I’m talking about. This post is a pretty damning indictment of your intellect; honestly, I haven't been able to read anything more mindless from you. You’re probably just some undercover PETA plant trying to make meat-eaters look even stupider than they actually are. Even if that were the case, it’s a failed attempt on your part—I personally know plenty of people who eat meat and happen to be incredibly sharp.

wearygardener13 said:vegetarians are evil😢

I honestly thought your whole mission here was just pure trolling—or maybe an attempt to adopt some sort of carnivore lifestyle. But now I’m actually confused. Looking back at everything you’ve posted in this thread, you seem to be going out of your way to argue that vegetarians are actually the smarter ones.

rustypilot73 said:No, it's actually being run by some American agency using statistical modeling... I remember a prominent professor mentioning it casually during a lecture once. Just a passing remark, really...

When you actually sit down and think about it, there’s some truth to that...

Why on earth was my reply to this post deleted? It’s simply not true, and frankly, it defies common sense.

Have you ever sat through "How the War Started on My Island"? It’s a total mind-bender... honestly, we could all use a little levity to break this heavy atmosphere. Besides, this whole thread is basically a live demonstration of vegetarian intellect, flirting, and general nonsense, so I suppose there's a loose connection to the topic here.🙂 Especially since restlesscobra132 is such a meat-eater. So, consider this a showcase of vegetarian free thought! Anyway, enough out of me. Scout's honor!

restlesscobra132 said:A little? 😕 Seriously, Rachel Martinez11, give me a break. At least try to make the lie believable. 😬

"...I don't deal in stars or pretty little lies; I've had enough of those nonsense things rattling around my head..." But I could spend hours talking about your eyes—those mirrors catching every bit of sunlight... 🙂

wearygardener13 said:Have you ever actually stopped to consider that you might be wrong?

If I had been presented with even a single coherent argument from you, I might have given it some thought. But this? Reading through your posts—all that repetitive "I’m brilliant and you’re an idiot" posturing—only serves to make me more certain of my own position.

rustypilot73 said:According to the numbers, if everyone on Earth went vegetarian, we could probably support a maximum population of about 2 billion people...

Where exactly did you pick up that statistic? At the local butcher shop?

Sophia Allen12 said:Well, it’s about time someone noticed!
There were actually studies done suggesting plants grow better if you play soft, soothing music for them—they even supposedly lean toward the sound source and all that.

I can't recall if there was ever anything similar regarding human hair or nails...

Maria Moore4 said:So if animals were facing a painless death, you'd just eat them then?

If I could be absolutely certain they weren't capable of suffering—much like how I'm convinced plants don't feel anything—and if I knew for a fact they didn't care whether they were free or caged, whether they felt the cold or the heat, or whether they were living their lives or being slaughtered... if they were truly indifferent to everything, totally unresponsive to any stimulus at all, then yeah, I suppose I probably would eat them.

wearygardener13 said:Yeah, maybe read *The Secret Life of Plants* and you'll finally get it.

Then go ahead and read *Mein Kampf*; maybe then you'll see how much of a visionary Hitler actually was.

wearygardener13 said:Just realize that your opinion is just an opinion—it isn't some universal truth. Who are you to claim it's wrong to kill animals for food?

I never claimed my perspective was some kind of absolute law. I’m just a guy trying to live according to his own conscience. I'm far from perfect—honestly, you might be a hundred times better than I am. But I try. And because I try, I have every right to be here, and everywhere else, stating what I believe is right.

wearygardener13 said:Vegetarian food is completely tasteless 🙏 🙏

Ever had a corn and mushroom pizza? Chocolate pancakes? Pasta with tomato sauce and parmesan? French fries? Ice cream? Strawberries and cream?

Sophia Allen12 said:it’s been proven that plants can feel things too...

Not really. What's actually been proven is that plants emit sound when they're cut. It's just gas escaping from within the plant during the process—similar to how a punctured Goodyear tire makes a noise, but that doesn't mean the tire is sentient.

sad but true said:The meat on our plates is fundamentally no different from the vegetables we eat— just the leftover remains of something that used to be alive. Call it a carcass, call it whatever makes you feel better.

It honestly sounds to me like you’ve got no problem with cannibalism, really. It’s all the same in the end—plants, animals, humans. Everything was once living, and everything can be consumed. That's a bit much, don't you think?

robybaggio said:I always assumed vegetarians were smarter, given their supposed grasp on quantum physics.

Bravo. Just brilliant.

robybaggio said:You’d be better off keeping your mouth shut if you wanted to stop sounding so stupid.

It’s the oldest trick in the book, isn't it? That classic fallback for anyone incapable of constructing a coherent thought—when the logic fails and the comprehension hits zero, just pivot to insults. I can't even bring myself to be angry at you; honestly, I almost envy you. It seems like you've got a direct ticket to the pearly gates.

Xerxes said:🙄

A sperm cell can't just spontaneously turn into a human being—nor can an egg—so calling it genocide is a stretch. But hey, I suppose it’s important for your post to actually hold water. ☕ 😵

corpse (kôrps) pronunciation
n.

A dead body, especially the dead body of a human.

Even if we call everything dead a corpse, plants don't have a central nervous system. There isn't any suffering involved when a plant dies. That’s why I don’t feel a shred of guilt eating a salad, whereas I would if I were eating meat. To equate a plant with an animal is to downplay the actual agony every innocent creature endures from the moment it's raised until its horrific end. Now, I don't expect everyone to suddenly grasp why it's wrong to inflict pain on an innocent animal when you don't have to. It’s possible to live without it. Just like I don't expect people to collectively quit smoking tomorrow just because I point out that cigarette smoke is toxic and lethal.

wearygardener13 said:What’s actually the distinction between killing an animal and killing a plant?

Following that same line of logic—what makes you any different from a plant?

wearygardener13 said:And then there’s the type who keeps insisting we’re all equally to blame while they alone hold the keys to enlightenment. Honestly, just give it a rest already. There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat.👍 👍 👍

Even Freud wouldn't have seen that coming.

darkrider96 said:but I just don't get the whole vegan argument, or that hierarchy thing they talk about. It’s just the damn food chain. If humans were three meters tall, weighing 300 kilos, and had teeth like Great Whites, we’d be eating each other without a second thought. Honestly, as long as I'm at the top of the ladder, I'm fine with things the way they are—though I'll admit the ocean terrifies me because I'm definitely not at the top there, so I rarely go in much.🤣 🤣

Personally, I don't consider myself an idiot. Or at least, that's what I tell myself to sleep at night. The real distinction between me and a complete moron is that I possess self-awareness and the agency to choose my meals. If I have an accident on a sidewalk, I can make the conscious decision to head to a restroom instead of just relieving myself right there because my instincts told me to. An idiot doesn't have that luxury. Neither does a cow. You can't really blame them for their actions; animals lack self-consciousness, which effectively strips them of any concept of responsibility or guilt. Besides, a full idiot wouldn't eat you even if they stood five meters tall. Humans can feast on plenty of delicious plant-based options, yet we still tend to gravitate toward meat. It’s easy to sit at the peak of the food chain and shrug, saying, "Well, it's just nature," or "Humans are inherently more valuable than animals." But if some superior species rose up tomorrow—something as vastly more capable of dominating us as we are of dominating animals—nobody would be standing there arguing, "Go ahead, farm us for food since we're objectively more important than you." It would be a completely different story then...

Jason Sanchez3 said:No, it isn't confusion. It's more like I've just lost the capacity to feel anything at all. It’s a defense mechanism, obviously, but I don't know how it works or if it can even be undone...
It used to happen in waves. When things got heavy, I’d shut down—maybe for an hour, maybe a couple of hours, sometimes half a day. But eventually, it would spiral into something totally uncontrollable. Now, it’s been days of absolute nothingness. To be honest, I’m actually terrified of feeling something again because...

Just prick your finger with a needle and see if you feel a thing.🙂 Tell me, did that little bit of dark humor bring even a momentary smile to your face?😘

nimblemarlin17 said:He jumped into the fray with what seemed like a reasonable point, but man, the rant he just went on? Absolute madness. These vegetarians aren't even remotely intellectual. Not even close. 🙂

Look, my friend, I wouldn't understand a single word if I were sitting through a lecture on quantum physics either, but I certainly wouldn't have the nerve to call the professor an intellectual because of it. Honestly, I’d probably just sit there and keep my mouth shut. Besides, we're discussing actual intelligence here, not whether vegetarians think they're deep.
