Re: Animal Rights
ASG:
I promised myself I wouldn't waste time posting on here tonight, so I'll leave you in the capable hands of MrL_Jackanory here. My posts are always logically self-consistent and well-reasoned, whereas you started off stating that you didn't believe in the value of morals other that what we place in them, and then said that we shouldn't hurt animals. These two statements are obviously contradictory. If you don't understand what I mean by that, my Tab counterpart will be able to tell you.
Apart from that, in the interest of preserving my own reputation, I was not referring to self-harming, which involves damage, as distinct from pain that does not cause damage. I was talking about martial artistry, where we learn ways of hurting people with varying levels of damage to accompany the pain. We do not damage each other in training.
