I don't see you liking your views reassessed either
err... do you mean that answering to a post with arguments is synonym to not liking my views reassessed?
you're missing something
when i have something to answer, i do it
that's the way communication goes
please consider the validity of what you say
i hope you're wise enough not to just say "no, you" as a knee-jerk reaction to anything you hadn't thought about
i'm the first one to put my views into question
and i'm open to anyone else doing it
when i became a vegan, that was a pretty damn big reassessment of my views, don't you think?
turning my back on the behaviour, which i shared before, of 99% of the population, to choose a way which would be uncomfortable in this society, would make me suffer everytime i think about the conditions of animals (humans included), would make me a constant target for people who don't like those who don't think like them
my view of killing has also changed since i became vegan (details in another thread if needed)
deciding that the god i was taught to believe in didn't exist... what is that if not a change of ideas?
how about
the other thread in which i insist that my views are only subjective opinions rather than truths and that i may find in the future that they were incorrect?
this is why your posts seem to have no ends and why they are being highjacked, you definately don't let go!
or maybe i just have things to say
do you?
i'm the one who jokingly used the word "hijack" so readers would understand that the following was explanation of my point, not some raving about a different topic
People who are vegetarians, they deny their agressive instincts-the biting and chewing of meat. They live up in some upper strata of the universe, not in their bodies...too much idealism and the aggressive instinct is in the body, in the instincts.
people are different
don't judge others as if everyone was built on your model
no. i don't seem to have true agressive instincts
the only ones that i may have and try to shed are the ones that were forced into me by the society in which we live
now that i can think by myself, i try the best i can to get rid of those
if i had been born in a peaceful society, i think i wouldn't understand the concept of agressivity
What else can one say, you win! Is this about who says the last word?
from the same thread :
vegan said:
there's more interest in trying to find new ideas in others' points (ideas which will correct/improve yours) than trying to place your own
and i'm the first one who has to be reminded of that
in an argumentation, the winner is the one whose ideas have changed during the exchange, because he has progressed
the one whose ideas don't change doesn't win anything
if they were "right", he helps the other one get a better view of the argumentation
if they were "wrong", he wastes an opportunity to progress and keeps his flawed point of view
Obviously in my post, I stated-IT IS AN OPINION! Take it or leave it, it is an opinion and opinions are subjective, and when Hitler killed by the millions, it is my good sensed opinion that he was.......BAD,.....was BAD,.....was BAD,.....actually I think that echoes on Michael Jackson's song.
...and yes, I am comparing Hitler with Mother Teresa.....and guess what, it is MY OPINION...not someone else's
talk about adding an empty post for the sole purpose of having the illusion of the last word!
By the way, are you related to moonyham or nameless? Just curious, you seem to have the same way of communicating...
no
and as i don't usually pay much attention to the monikers of people, i may very well have argued against their points in other threads, or may do in future ones
there are no teams of people here, just ideas
"Opinions are evil. Keep yours to your self!"
who are you quoting?
i don't remember anyone saying/thinking this in this thread
That is ALSO, an opinion my friend Jesus!
what's the point of this post?
just to put oil on a fire which wasn't destroying anything in the first place?
seeing the first tease to me as jesus in the other thread to which you participate, i suppose this is adressed to me
i already adressed the ridiculous comparison. and it's rather sad that you may have nothing better to do than try to tease me
And since you are not keeping yours [opinions] to yourself, neither would I!!
great! that's the whole point of this forum
please, do bring some arguments with your opinions
