April 1, is usually the day when people play tricks to eachother.
In your case it might be some great-looking dish, but over-spiced

Maybe this is a way to protect the eyes against sea-water?

Not so easy if one lives among assholes
You can't be kind with an asshole because he will abuse of that.

Suppose there is a mathematical problem which takes about 4 hours to solve if the person is asked to sit down and solve it. If the same person is asked to plough a field for 4 hours and simultaneously solve the problem he won’t be able to do it. Even a great mathematician cannot do that. One ...

This is obviously copypasted.

Indeed that link contains hilarious things. The Bible Condemns Abstaining From Eating Meats Well here is a quote from bible: Genesis 1:29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your...

I've got a fresh example. And it is from this forum.

For me it's about freedom as an universal principle. A tamed dog can become free if it runs into the forest :) Since it does not, I have to assume the dog doesn't understand the principle of freedom. I'm not sure it is wise to treat animals as you treat people. Just imagine that animals have the sa...

AndyBa wrote:What are bacteriums? Animals, plants or something else?

That's exactly my point and that's why I've asked about bacteriums. Making too much fuss about killing looks just hilarious.

AndyBa wrote:how can it be?
to suffer from something and not realize it?

There is a point. It doesn't mean you shall feel pain in your stomach. It can happen that you eat something and it just doesn't get assimilated well. So if you would know about it, you would probably choose to eat something else.

Well, there are insect-eating plants.

AndyBa wrote:Well.. animals need pain to stay longer alive...

This looks like masochism

AndyBa wrote: i.e. if you will try to harm an animal it will try to run.

... or to harm you

Plants can't do what? Run or harm back?

Eat more carrots!

Aha, this is an old joke.
That's why rabbits don't have glasses.

What's the problem? Just shave the head and be happy. It is also very practical.

I think there is no scientifically evidence of garlic influencing mind. I suppose you mean the classical, occidental science. Do you want to say it knows much about mind? I have to disagree. In capitalist countries medicine is a business, and it's a very profitable one. Same about the pharmacology....

From my point of view believing in god is also deception; because there are no proofs that god exists. I understand your point. Religion and hope have many common things. One wise man once said "Hope is the strongest poison." Also an old Moldavian proverb comes to my mind (I don't know an...

Those aren't vegetarians, those are snobs

AndyBa wrote:I think she meant meat eaters =)

All right, I'll explain.
When you eat vegetables, they contain bacteriums. Are bacteriums meat or not?
On the other side, most bacteriums eat rotten (!) flesh themselves.

AndyBa wrote:I think plants don't feel pain cause they don't have the ability to avoid it.

Any life form has the ability to avoid pain. That happens when it dies

IMHO what you post looks more like Christian propaganda rather than simple philosophy talk. I am sure that there are members on this forum who belong to another religions and they might not like this.

Btw here's a funny joke:

me: Nowadays I usually avoid eating garlic and I don't like bright sunlight.
a_guy_who_has_a_fine_sense_of_humour: Hmm, I think you might be mutating into a vampire. It's so good you live on the other side of the Earth

Not exactly.
I confirm this by my personal experience.
Yogis were the first ones who classified food in three categories by the effect it has on the mind.

By the way, the Christian God accepted Abel's sacrifice.
And that was MEAT.

Some people fight for human rights as well. Define "fighting for human rights" please. Who's fighting for human rights? American soldiers in Iraq? Islamic terrorists blowing themselves in London? Why black-skinned people were set free in US? Because the sly Uncle Abe needed more meat to f...

WarChild, It's very interesting, but where did you get this info from? From my personal experience. When I happen to eat garlic (it doesn't happen often), I feel like I'm drunk after that. Me being a non-drinker/non-smoker/non-corpse-eater for ten years, believe me I know what having a clear mind m...

Garlic is good for your stomach, but bad for your brain.
If you eat garlic often, you can't have a clear mind.
