The feds will blacklist you from employment in the field.That sounds pretty bogus to me, sorry.Except the FAA actually does that to pilots.

But it's not that difficult for a scientist to show his work, is it? If they're afraid of getting "blacklisted"--which, I don't even see why they would be--then that just means they have no balls. No respect for the field that they work in.
You can be the most morally right person in existence, but that wouldn't mean you're intelligent.
A lighter term should have been used, because addiction usually implies to most people that you have a severe dependency on it. I don't have a dependency for meat, at all.

Isn't it funny how the most "morally right person" hasn't been born yet? Especially when the most intelligent person hasn't been born yet either.

Is there even a cap of intelligence?
No, because I enjoy it. And because the option is there. So I'm taking advantage of that.
Quote from: Numb Digger on January 11, 2015, 08:38:36 AMNo, because I enjoy it. And because the option is there. So I'm taking advantage of that.Then I hope you get eaten.
I don't have a depenency for bananas. I should stop eating then.
All right. I probably won't though. If so, oh well.
Quote from: BritishLemön on January 11, 2015, 08:39:31 AMI don't have a depenency for bananas. I should stop eating then.Shitcunt comparison. Bananas don't feel, so there's no impetus not to eat them.
Quote from: Numb Digger on January 11, 2015, 08:39:56 AMAll right. I probably won't though. If so, oh well.You disgust me. To the core. But at least you are consistent with your snake oil.
A slab of meat doesn't feel, either.
Quote from: Numb Digger on January 11, 2015, 08:41:49 AMA slab of meat doesn't feel, either.It used to. Did you know that when things die, they used to be alive? Did you know that?A banana has never felt. It has NEVER been alive.
Yeah, but it doesn't feel anymore. Its life is gone.
Quote from: Numb Digger on January 11, 2015, 08:44:53 AMYeah, but it doesn't feel anymore. Its life is gone.We had no right to take it away.
Says who?
Its life is still gone though. We can't bring it back. It doesn't feel anything anymore.
Quote from: BritishLemön on January 11, 2015, 08:47:49 AMSays who?Fine. Let's all kill each other, because BritishLemon doesn't see a reason not to.
Quote from: Numb Digger on January 11, 2015, 08:49:00 AMIts life is still gone though. We can't bring it back. It doesn't feel anything anymore.And we STILL had no right to take it away. What's your fucking point?
Killing other intelligent beings isn't remotely the same as killing dumb animals that exist for the sole reason to be eaten.
Worst thing you've done to an animal?
