Any Vegetarians on This Board?

As much as A1 might count as a vegetable it doesn't count as much as your post does as trolling for the sake of trolling, though.

Any form of killing of violence that isn't needed for self defense or survival is evil, regardless of what it is.
Having to kill someone whether human or animal that attacks you is not immoral. Killing a human or animal when you don't need to , especially for pleasure because you want to eat them when you don't need to IS.

If you have no other source of food in the wild and must eat an animal to survive, that is different. That is a grey area. If you can get to someplace where you can get to a plant food source before you starve, then killing the animal is immoral. If you can't, it is not so immoral.


Does striving after righteousness necessarily make oneself SELF righteous?


"right·eous
[rahy-chuhs] Show IPA
adjective
1.
characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
2.
morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
3.
acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person. "

"
self-right·eous
[self-rahy-chuhs, self-] Show IPA
adjective
confident of one's own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others."

Is is fair to say, according to the idea that all vegans are self righteous, that anyone who has no interest in being righteous at all will always see someone who tries to do the righteous thing as being self-righteous?

Couldn't it also be said that meat eaters are self righteous because they believe themselves to be so much better than the animals they kill which is their justification for eating animal products?

Couldn't it be said that meat eaters are self righteous when they believe they are better than vegans and dismiss vegans as inferior and their thus overall life philosophy as invalid?

Couldn't it be said that meat eaters who understand why a meat eater would bash a vegan's brains out is extremely self righteous and intolerant?



Who is the more intolerant of others, the vegan who respects the lives of other beings, or the meat eater with no regard for the lives of other beings like animals and eats them?

Is intolerance always a bad thing?
Is it wrong to be intolerant of rape and rapists?
Is it wrong to believe oneself morally superior to a rapist?

Is it wrong to believe that rapists, murders and thieves are morally inferior to non rapists non murderers and non thieves?
