    Trombone on ...Boy Happy

    It has to sound like that. It's beautifully out of tune like Morrissey's voice. Perfect.

    Why Such Negativity?

    Sorry to be of topic, but Worm that is a wonderful Wilde quote. I think I will steal it. And what you say about Morrissey is so true...he is unloveable, therefore he is so loveable (I suspect that has been said a thousand times before?).

    Reply to Worm continued... I must admit that I'm afraid you are right that people will never accept that all living beings are equal. Somehow naively I have always assumed that simple logic would be enough; that people would be able to see the wrongness in the cruelty as soon as they...

    The problem with Dr. Bests article is his scenario 5, where he says: "I would send an infinite number of Ted Nugent cretins over a steep cliff to save a deer, elk, bear, or any other animal they kill for pleasure. I’d do it to save a cockroach, a flea, or a tick. Or a blade of grass. The...

    The problems you are describing are the reason why I prefer Tom Regans position to Peter Singers. I see there is a link to Peter Singer on ALF's site but no there's no mention of Regan. According to utilitarianism, which is Singer's ethical position, and also the one you are describing, an...

    I was more taken by Kierkegaard I must say, but again, it's been a long time since I've read anything by him. I can certainly see that he is a great poet but I think I dismissed him very quickly as a philosopher, simply because I couldn't make sense of what he is saying. As you can probably...

    The fact that we see everything from a human perspective is exactly why we see animals as having a lower and less valuable sense of being. And it is why we can't categorically deny that animals have some kind of consciousness that, even though it is different from ours, is a sense of being...

    I appretiate you taking the time to read Tom Regans precis. I can seee that the word speciesism may sound strange to most peoples' ears. But racism is also a word that hasn't always existed and I bet that when people first heard that they were uncertain about it. But the reason behind it is...

    I suppose you are right about that. But I have studied the philosophy behind animal rigths for quite a while and I am very confident in the arguments, so I will not stop speaking up about that. I don't know much about farming methods etc. so I will leave that to others. Sadly all moral thinking...

    well, as you can see, I don't agree with you on that. The fact that animals prey on each other shouldn't affect our ethical decisions not to do it. It could be argued that it is natural for humans to kill each other, but that doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do. Logically I can't see...

    What is your definition of rights? Why do we have rights? What I am saying is that we do not know what goes on inside the head of animals. If you can prove that we do, then I'm willing to withdraw that statement. I am aware that most people can't grasp what I am talking about but that...

    How do you know that? And even if it's true, how is that a good reason for us not to respect the right of animals? We respect the rights of children and the mentally disabled etc.

    I still say, why not just assume that everybody are intelligent enough to understand the ethical argument and stick to that. Everything else becomes irrelevant as soon as people realize that is is absurd to make a distinction between different life forms and saying that one has more of a right...

    That is depressing. You can't trust anybody it seems. I really hope it 'sn't true, but I'm kind of glad I have never given them any money.

    i KNOW why Morrissey remains single.

    The first link doesn't work. I belive this is the thread you are referring to: http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=63810

    People, stop quoting Cutestory. There is a reason for the ignore function, and there certainly is a very good reason for Lilikoi not wanting to see his posts. Please respect that.

    Does anyone think Moz is starting to take the piss a little?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. The nicest and most expensive hotel we have, I think, is D'Angleterre. Quite nice!

    Oh. Well, I don't know what that means either. But I promise they weren't up.

    Does anyone think Moz is starting to take the piss a little?

    No heckles (whatever that means) I was just a bit curious. I think my "you people" was to indicate that it wasn't specifically for DeliciousDemon. I realize it seems condecending.
