Our race has dwindled to the level of a lower life form and lost our ability to reason consciously and compassionately..

Given that our race would not even exist as a sentient apex predator if we didn't eat meat, I can live with us being "animals".

It is only those trapped within an evolutionary cul-de-sac that believe we are somehow lessened by the eating of meat.

"Animals" > "Plants"



Eating meat is fine in that evolutionary context where people were trying to survive and were opportunistic. Much thought went into killing and consuming the animals. Today if people had to kill their own meat almost everyone would be vegetarian, fact! Including you Konehead.

Today people just drone ahead in their daily lives consuming things without much thought at all which is what this swami was trying to point out. People today are as conscious about what they are doing as a conveyor belt is about conveying, they simply drone ahead eating what they want, saying what they want and hurting those they hurt without even a thought about consequences. The fact that you don't understand what he is saying and what it means on a larger scale simply proves your are an outposter.. congrats.



I bet you use a lighter or matches when you want to set something on fire...

HETHEN!!! BLASPHEMER@!@@

I just read thruough some of the swami's posting, it's pretty much a crapfest. Why do you like it?


Instead of trying to understand some of those issues, he just goes "I don't get it so how can it be?" There is really no value in anything he's saying, you might as well be posting a rant by Tom Cruise about the evils of psychology.

My brother in law hunts and kills all his families meat. They live on primarily venison..he fishes all summer and they freeze fish. He hunts wild turkey..pheasant and grouse. They also eat rabbit.

That family will never go hungry.

He trades a farmer venison for chicken. He trades meat for hunting ground too.

You either can't read or have zero comprehension if you get that from it.

Do you not stop to think logically even for a microsecond? I'm guessing you can't - not enough meat in your diet.



We've seen this before on the OP - it seems like Colonus goes through these phases.

He's probably secretly eating meat a couple of weeks per month, but by the end has such a protein deficit his brain is randomly starting to shut down.

He is. What I respect about him..is he has ethics in his hunting.

He won't kill anything too young..he won't take a doe if he sees she has yearlings with her. He does not bait. He will hunt all day..and say he didn't feel comfortable about his shot..so he will wait for the next day. He is exceptional with a bow or a shotgun.

I totally disagree. People think they are acting on their own goals but their goals are the goals of marketing and government schooling that has taught them to live and behave in certain ways.


So? Even if they are influenced, people are still acting upon their own thoughts.

Coriolus posted:

This behavioral modification is deeply rooted and stems from the desire to control the masses and turn free thinking people into worker bees who consume the way they do to keep the economic wheel turning and solidify the status quo..


"Worker bees" are the majority of the population for humans throughout history just like any other social animal. Even back in primitive times, people would generally go along with the desires of the tribal chief and medicine man; anyone who went against the flow would be kicked out of the tribe and forced to survive on their own. This doesn't mean that the "worker bees" were without thoughts or dreams of their own however.

There is precious little examples throughout history where you would have a community of any decent size where everyone was a "free thinker" who could do what they want (especially since most of history had slavery and/or women subjugated to status little more than property).
