Regarding the killing of Osama, there has been a huge US military presence in Pakistan for years. I think the pakistanis pretty much accept that there’s a bunch of cowboys playing “hunt the terrorist” within their borders. They’re probably not happy about the situation, but they do realize that they can’t do anything about it.

If Osama had been hiding somewhere in Europe it would have been much different, the capture would certainly have been completed by local police. As long as Sarah Palin isn’t in charge of anything I can’t imagine US military operations being conducted around here.

Firstly I am not that bothered at all. I just love a good discussion ) What do you call it – a devils advocate? So, I will just dissect your comments to analyse and attack them ;o)

I do not necessarily agree that vegetarians are more animal caring than normal eaters. Vegans seem to have placed a romantic human-like concept on animals; meaning that they might hesitate to show leadership and power towards animals that only understand that language. In effect cuddling and spoiling their dog, which then turns into a little dictator that bites other dogs and humans.

You move on to the part about evil and good. First of all I am sure that you agree that humans invented the concept of good and evil? Not animals. Consider child abuse, incest and rape in the animal kingdom, without laughing. That happens daily! As for animals killing to eat only; I am sad to say that it is not so. Even herbivore animals murder outsiders and enemies. Cats are famed for “playing with the food” and often do not bother eating it afterwards. Dolphins and monkeys are the same.

Uneducatedness bothers me. It bothers me when people run politics based on their personal feelings and poor knowledge of reality. Again I discern between normal vegetarians and “political vegans” who feel we should not eat honey as it hurts the animals, that we can’t drink milk, cheese, etc.

Thank you for your comments. However I am discerning between “political vegans” and vegetarians. I do not believe you fall into the “political vegan” category and I have all the respect for your personal choice not to eat meat. I think it would be easy not to eat meat and considering that modern occidental man is not exactly starved; it is hardly necessary any more to get the extra nutritional boost that meat gives us.

My issue with political vegans and what I saw on Cathy’s 2 Facebook pages were that they were drowning in what I would describe as political SPAM about cute looking puppies, kittens and anti-human comments. Humans are de facto superior to animals. We rule this world and we decides (in fact we invented) what is right and wrong. Personally I think that we should treat animals respectful and I believe that torturing or hurting animals for no purpose should be punished.

As to crashing Knights of Columbus meetings; sure I would. I am disgusted with religious people and dogma. Religion is counter-productive for humans and when-ever religious groups happen to do good it is as a dysfunction to their real aim.
