Second, if you think Fred's malicious, honestly, an animal is an animal. If you're not a vegetarian, you're a hypocrite.
Third, you're all much sicker than Fred. D1nko, I'm looking at you.
The 2nd statement is an Opinion and Not a fact twoshots! I DO NOT consider all animals to be equal AND I regard Humans as animals.
That would depend entirely on whether your evaluation of an animal's moral worth was based on a consistent and intelligent system rather than an ad-hoc rationalization of your cultural conditioning. We eat very intelligent animals and no one objects (pigs and octopuses come readily to mind).

Did you know that we also eat each other?
There are some cultures where enemies killed in tribal warfare are brought home to eat.

I cant wait for machines to become more intelligent than humans . Not to mention more physically capable so people will be enslaved and then exterminated(after MY lifetime of course) .
But yes, if fred is talking about CatFish than I recant my statements. I though he was talking about Felis Sylvestris.
But furthermore, I do believe that violence should be inflicted upon humans who wantonly harm cats. If that makes me a hypocrite so bloody be it.

But is that belief the product of a 'consistent and intelligent system' or an 'ad-hoc rationalization of your cultural conditioning'. If the former, im intrigued to learn more about it

you've obviously never had the general tso's in west hollywood, huh?
more like dark meat chicken (thought not like rabbit).
:looks at cat sitting next to him:
I don't think checkers would approve.
really, i'm just speculating and joking. it was most certainly dark meat and either a composite or it was cat.
i don't get people's problems with eating cats and dogs and what not. obviously never steal anyone's personal property but beyond that...what's wrong with it? it's just another corpse with meat on its bones.

The answer is NEITHER. I like cats, I dont like most people. Furthermore, other people who are not friends or family pose a FAR GREATER THREAT to me and my interests than cats do! That is why I deliberately choose not to have empathy for them. Not having empathy for strangers means that Im not all that adverse to harming them if they are a threat to people and things that I DO like.

Changing the subject, since you claim to be interested in psychology twoshots, why is it that some people derive excitement and even sexual pleasure from harming other Human beings?
