Seriously...people eat the damn animals because we don't really feel they have feelings or a soul, we don't feel like we're "murdering" a chicken. Those vegetarians do...but they're hippocrites. They're eating plants, which are also living/breathing organisms. When you cook a plant, you *are* kiling a defenceless little tomato or whatever. If a chicken shouldn't be slaughtered because it has 'feelings' or whatever, then couldn't you say a plant does too? They respond to music and touch afterall right?

I don't care if you're a vegetarian because you want to have a healthier diet or because you don't like the taste of meat, that's fine, your choice. But if it's because you think killing animals is cruel, you are an idiot.
Plants are insentient life forms, idiot.
You don't have to call me an idiot, jerk. And plants are different from a stone, for example. Plants respond to things. Like I said, touch, music, sunlight. The fly trap is a good example of touch.

But what the hell is your point? Plants aren't conscious, so it's perfectly fine to kill them then? So it's not cruel killing a vegetable or severely retarded person? I'm just trying to say, why is killing a plant ok, but a chicken not ok? If you think killing a turkey or cow is cruel, it should be cruel killing a plant.
