I know in some cultures they say you're an adult by the age of 13 and then they let you have kids.

WOW, YEAH

WHAT A GREAT CULTURE

WE SHOULD BE JUST LIKE THEM

You mean the most favorable option?

Yeah, not everyone thinks it IS the most favorite option. Which is the problem.

Seventeen? That's still stupid as all fuck to be having sex at that age, but whatever. AoC laws are fucking retarded.

Why? Curious on your reason.

Because you're still in school, and risking any chance of pregnancy is the dumbest thing you could ever, ever do.

And it gets exponentially DUMBER the younger you are.

If she's honestly sexually active/trying to get sexually active at age fucking fifteen, I would probably try to slap some sense into her (not physically <_<). Because that would be a little bit fucked up.

honestly, none

Yeah, we are. Verbatim's first comment was referring to vegetarians in general.

only because i forgot that there were vegetarians that were vegetarian for the wrong reasons, not for the ethical reasons

so i was referring to ethical vegetarians, not... whatever, healthnut vegetarians or whatever

I'm not a vegetarian at all.
Here, let's put it this way.
In an alternate reality cannibalism has no ill side effects. However it is still illegal because it's fucking wrong.
You go to a restaurant and order a steak.
However upon receiving the steak you find out it's actually long pork.
Do you,
A, not eat it, leave and call the cops
B, eat it, and call the cops
If you choose A, by your logic, you're wasting people's lives.
If you choose B, you're eating someone.

cannibalism isn't wrong if it's consensual, and
i would never order a steak even if i wasn't vegan

that situation is a lot different anyway, because when it comes to cannibalism, that's a little more complex morally speaking than just eating an animal, in my opinion

Sometimes, key word.

and if you don't have any friends with you

you eat it yourself

i shouldn't have to hold your hand through this

Look at it this way: if you hated the taste of a certain food, absolutely couldn't stand it, and some cafe gave you an extra helping of it, would you try to repress your gag reflex and scarf it down? Or would you be a normal, sane person and send it back?

if that "certain food" used to be sentient and was tortured and killed to end up on my tray, then yes, i'd either find someone who does want it, or i would eat it myself

because i'm ethical like that

but you have the choice not to have it wasted

i mean... duh

give it to someone who wants it
make sure it gets consumed

doesn't sound very ethical to me

i mean, that's your right, but i'm just saying, if we're gonna talk about ethics, then yeah, the ethically correct decision would be not to waste the food

You aren't using your reading glasses right now.

if vegetarians think that it's ethical to waste the pain and suffering of whatever animal it took to get that piece of meat, then yes, vegetarians are idiots

...then why did you say that a vegetarian that wouldn't eat an accidentally placed piece of meat is an idiot? For them, it's not an issue of wasting, it's an issue of ethics.

you aren't using your brain right now

eating an animal isn't inherently wrong

systematically torturing and slaughtering them for our use is wrong
it's the torture and the suffering of the sentient beings that makes the matter

whatever's left of them, it would be BEST to make GOOD USE of their remains--that's also the ethical decision, and most vegans will agree with that

by eating a piece of meat you were accidentally given in your meal, you aren't contributing to the industry
it's like you didn't even read the article

this was a pretty good album

according to the 2014 dictionary, its synonymous to "verbatim"

lol

"the 2014 dictionary"

like that's a thing
