Just to point out the obvious - a vegetarian wouldn't pillory a lion as a 'murderer,' because they would point out that the lion can't make an educated rational judgement. It's just doing what it comes naturally.


The differentiation that the vegetarian makes in that context is sufficient to demonstrate that vegetarians consider humans and animals to have different moral standing.


In other words they are being inconsistent when they claim the killing of a human being has equivalence with the killing of an animal. By their own affirmation, meat CANNOT be murder, because humans CANNOT be judged the same as animals.


Alternatively, if vegetarians insist that they are being consistent, then in claiming that the death of an animal has equivalence to the death of a human they are consciously REDUCING the value of a human life to that of an animal.


That's a sociopathic judgement - and reinforces what I've always suspected about vegetarians (that they're secretly on a misanthropic self affirming quest to kill us all - a suspicion reinforced by the recognition that like any dangerous religion it requires self-enforced and tortuous abstinence as part of its rapacious mental discipline). ;-)


BTW - I'm just having fun at the end there!

Malumbu:

"But if you choose to justify eating meat, as some of you seem to want to do, kill it, and eat everything edible. Sweetmeats, brains, tripe, the whole lot."


If you're making a distinction between meat eaters and 'vegetarians', shouldn't that rule be applied equally ?

When you eat a potato or other root vegetable do you eat the leaves, shoots and fibrous tendrils - ideally not peeling them so you don't waste ANY part (which, I presume, is your entire point) ?

Sweet corn would be an interesting one, that's a lot of plant to chew through to get to the little nubs of corn at the top !

And of course, there's never anything left on your plate, you devour EVERY morsel, scraping nothing into the bin, right ?

And don't eat your veg unless you're prepared to pull on some wellies, trudge across acres of muddy field and uproot the lucky spud all by yourself.


Is that what you really meant to say Malumbu ?

If I rescue snails from the pavement,

I'm hardly going to use slug pellets am I ?!

They're not pointless - a lot of wasps (huge number of varieties) pollinate plants. They also eat aphids so they should be the vegetarian's friend (as aphids cause so much damage to vegetable crops).

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
