That's just mainstream agriculture. All your small farms are very humane in the treatment of animals.

Plants don't suffer the same way.
How do you know? And how do you know an animal does suffer? You are making assumptions. There is no way to know for sure.
Sander Rossel wrote:
but they're not sentient or intelligent like animals.
Another assumption. But even if it's true, why are you OK with torturing non-sentient beings but not sentient ones? Why does sentient vs. non-sentient make it OK? And what about insects? Do you kill them?
Sander Rossel wrote:
And plants need to be treated with care or they just won't grow.
That seems like it should be a true statement. But here in the Southeast US (at least) stuff grows without taking care of it. (Or weeds do anywhere.) 2 weeks ago I was picking beans from my garden and tossing over my shoulder ones that were bad (lousy slugs got to them first.) I then mowed the yard. A week later I noticed a bean plant growing in the middle of my backyard lawn. :laugh: Turns out I ran over it with the lawn mower and shot it to the middle and then it took root. So much for taking care of it. :-\

As someone who doesn't want children at all it's beyond me why anyone would ever want more than, say, two. Or how you'd pay for more :~ I do think child birth beyond the first or second child should be discouraged, like child support only for the first child, etc. And of course legal abortion possible through late stages in pregnancy.

I wouldn't really care if they killed it hours after it's been born (although I get why you'd have ethical complications with that). The baby doesn't have memories, a personality, or anything and I don't think it really cares at that point. It's unclear when exactly an embryo becomes a person, but for a lot of people it somewhere around six or seven months I guess (in the Netherlands you can have an abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy). What matters to me more is that when a child comes into this world it'll probably (you never know for sure) have a good future life. If the parents don't want it or can't care for it, for whatever reason, that probability is pretty low. So I'm actually against the suffering of this (to-be) person, which is why you need to abort it (preferably as soon as possible). So by aborting/killing (whatever) it you're doing it (and the parents) a favor. Of course when it's physically born it would be murder at some point and other people's feelings get involved as well making things harder as well.

Meanwhile, the republican "pro-life" government has reinstated the death penalty :doh: Speaking of pro-life, why is the quality of the lives involved never discussed? It's just that an embryo needs to become a baby and beyond that the parent(s) have to see however they're going to raise it. It's not pro-life, it's really just anti-choice. I wonder how one gets to the mindset of "we decide what's best for everyone."

No, it isn't at all. At moment of conception there is unique DNA. Period! I am so glad that you do not want to have kids because you are not fit to be a parent or even a human being for that matter. You have no morals whatsoever. The fact that you're OK with murdering unwanted children is beyond description. Yet you'll fight and argue for animal rights. Sad.

Now that's harsh :( I've lived a better life than many people (including Christians) and I wouldn't hurt a living soul, but I'm no saint either. I'm just not for bringing people into this world against the will of those who'll have to raise it, which will not benefit the child nor the parent(s). You asked me for my point of view, which I have given. I am also not alone in these viewpoints as millions (if not billions) of people are pro-abortion. However, if you're going to attack me personally I'm all done with you, goodbye.

You want unwanted children murdered. I'm not sorry if you feel attacked. That point of view should be attacked. Are you a great person otherwise? Probably. But when you want unwanted children to be murdered I'm not sure that all the good you do do, means a whole lot. Especially when you criticize the same thing (religions that have done tons of good but do have some bad periods.) :^) I won't apologize for valuing human life.

It does indeed. Like with halal food that Islam not only insists Muslims eat, but insists *you* eat it too ("you" as it meat-eaters, not you specifically) as restaurants kowtow to Islam for fear of violent retribution. What those Christians did hundreds of years ago though....wow, what about that, huh?

Of course they haven't. Church leaders are still telling people gays are unnatural and that's it's a choice or disease. And if it were up to the church women would again be at home taking care of your twelve children. They don't have as much power as they used to, but their (im)morals are largely the same. Although a lot of churches are getting better lately, they're not (all) quite there yet. I'll give you this though, they're not as evil as they used to be, and most probably less evil than the Islam :) I don't really see the need for religion, just live your life as you see fit without hurting or bothering others (within the confines of the law, which shouldn't be influenced by religion). That said, everyone is free to believe what they want, I just wished they left others out of it (healthy discussion aside, but that's rarely possible on these subjects) :)

They say words don't hurt, but gay people have been harassed and/or murdered or have committed suicide because of those words. They can't get married even if they wanted to. They can't adopt children. They can't donate blood. All because of those mean words. Words hurt, a lot. I heard gay people in the Middle East need drugs to feel good. Apparently, they're all... stoned! *yeehaw, I'll get my coat* Anyway, those death penalties are there because of "mere" words also. You can't say the Christian church (or some of them as there isn't "one" church) is good because the Islam is worse, they're both bad and I hope to see once see the day where people can say "hey, I'm gay!" and all the people would be like "okay!"

No Christian has ever murdered a gay person because a priest said homosexuality was a sin. People are murdered in Islamic countries all the time for being gay. Those still alive are only alive as they are hiding their sexuality. What about those mean words though?
