To paraphrase, knives that sit in a safe or a shelf are "totems of male fear and insecurity," which once offended me a bit, but I completely understand it now. I don't own anything that isn't used now, and even the (expensive) custom knife I had made that I wore at my wedding is something that I'll wear for a dressy occasion.Some Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01211922409369113892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686455095068631242.post-79273322335153231112011-05-26T17:55:24.529-06:002011-05-26T17:55:24.529-06:00Really enjoyed this.

You suck!”), I'm not sure where I built an even "sort of" straw man. <br />I had no intent to misrepresent veg*ns or to imply that they would see the fellow I mentioned as anything else than an idiot. My point was to go after those who reject predation in general, not just those who do it while still eating meat. <br />The characters mentioned above are vastly different people, with little in common, except that rejection. It started with the example of the fellow who will eat meat but wants no ownership of predation, but the scope of behavior I'm attacking here goes beyond that. It is impossible to speak against one act of rejecting predation, without linking it to other acts of rejecting predation.<br /><br />I understand why many veg*ns don't eat meat, those who refuse for ethical reasons at least. I share many of their concerns about the contemporary techniques of raising and slaughtering meat, and the inescapable cruelty there-in. I share their horror at the lack of respect for the animal. I feel however that their answer to it is unreasonable, unhealthy, and inhuman, and it is that last I was going after here.Nagromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464768190969600481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686455095068631242.post-4146486899460598052011-01-16T12:11:20.143-07:002011-01-16T12:11:20.143-07:00I couldn't agree more.

Except for the part that where you conflate vegitarians/vegans with idiots who wants to eat meat from the supermarket without thinking about where it comes from.<br /><br />You say, "It is incredibly disrespectful to divorce yourself from the process of killing and still want to consume its results." Which is incredibly true. Vegans/vegitarians don't want to consume the results of killing animals at all. The fact that they do anyway, via habitat loss and harvest equipment is sort of a separate issue. As is the fact that some vegans are just as idiotic.<br /><br />In fact, most vegans would be horrified by this idiot's opinion as well. Their solution to such attitudes is just different from yours. You're sort of setting up a straw man vegan to knock down in this case.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605428127471399424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686455095068631242.post-81596505559495289292011-01-09T06:27:50.691-07:002011-01-09T06:27:50.691-07:00Well thought out and well written.

Ancient and mysterious beings that should not be so easily maligned. Beings that contribute to the health of the planet, unlike the, um...shall we say "pod persons" taking part in the 'faceless consumption.'<br />These 'pod people' are far worse than the hunter they disdain, because by happily purchasing and consuming the meaty shapes they find at the supermarket or fast food joints, they are complicit in the horrible, torturous lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands chickens, pigs and cattle every day in the factory farms and slaughter facilities.<br />No one should be allowed to buy a steak from a market without spending an hour at a slaughterers where thousands of cattle are maimed and tortured every day just on their way to being killed for those tasty Big Mac's.<br />Cowards who condemn other beings to horrific existences, and complacently smack their lips and congratulate themselves on never having 'killed' anything. Probably pride themselves on going to church and giving to United Way Worthless creatures. No don't compare them to the noble mushroom.<br />Nothing lives unless something else dies, but there is a sacredness that exists between hunter and prey...an understanding, a gift and a gratitude, a grace in being part of the whole.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376648253824016796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686455095068631242.post-66593550115330927512010-12-16T21:54:25.864-07:002010-12-16T21:54:25.864-07:00Lovely.

Can't we just get our meat from the grocery store?" Frankly, it's horrifying to see that amount of stupidity. Where do you think those supermarket meat cuts com...e from, missy?<br /><br />Sadly, I take a look at our society in general (or at least the part that is given the most attention and is the loudest) and see the same sort of mindset and lifestyle, the one that lives off of other's works and life. Our society's become one of takers, never givers.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with survival. If that means feeding yourself or defending yourself, for goodness' sake don't stand there and fuss about how mean the world is. While there's nothing wrong with compassion, it should be noted that compassion isn't necessarily a fluffy, whiny, "Oh poor baby" sort of thing. As far as I'm concerned, it goes hand in hand with wisdom, which means, in some cases, knowing when and how to bloody well kill something.Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129137467732478438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686455095068631242.post-18149481657265754952010-11-12T01:14:10.959-07:002010-11-12T01:14:10.959-07:00And yes, I meant that incorrect usage there at the...And yes, I meant that incorrect usage there at the beginning.
