It's hypocritical that anything is a big deal.

Yet you said 'in our society' so I'll use that as evidence to not know what the fuck you're talking about.

our society meaning western society

in north america and western europe, in general, equality among males and females is now expected by the majority of people. yet, if a woman hits a man, it is ok, but if a man hits a woman it is not. here inlies the hypocrisy.

okay thank you for explaining my drawn rhetorical conception.


It is hypocritical because we're all people.

But we're also all alive, so is it hypocritical to kill an animal but never kill a human? It is at this point that you have to define what makes us human.

Surprisingly all possible definitions for 'human' is very animalistic. The sheer fact that we take the time to define it is what truly defines us as human.

So why not kill and eat humans that don't take the time to define anything? That would make us 100% human. "But oh no, they are not animals, they are humans" how?

"The chance that they might suddenly become un-braindead."

Any animal can do that.

yes, our ability to reason is what separates us from all other living beings on earth. and as far as your argument regarding those who are incapable of reason, and whether or not we should kill them as well, frankly, i dont care if we kill them or not. people who argued against euthanasia in the terry schaivo case pissed me off so bad. i wanted them to pull the plug

What are you saying then?

That that which has logic should express itself logically as proof, and only then you will care for its life?

i don't even care for the majority of living beings who ARE capable of contemplation to be quite honest with you

That is very foolish.

edit

you may not understand, I'm saying it's mostly foolish, somewhat not, based on my belief that you could mean one concept or another, but I believe there's a higher chance that you mean the concept that I am calling foolish.

Therefore that is very foolish, and somewhat not.
