Inside I Was Laughing and Dancing Like Peppermint Eels
I like song lyrics. They make me happy.
Will you kiss me again, so I can pretend that we're kissing for the first time.... Because when we kissed for the first time I was distracted
I think I just need to clarify something in light of Rowan's recent post.
I never intended to say that rape was better than meat-eating. Or that slavery was better than meat-eating. No matter my views on that subject, it was not what I intended to say. Rowan was asking me if I thought you could impose your vegetarian beliefs on your children, and I was saying that he could because you can SIMILARLY impose the belief that such obvious wrongs are also wrong.
Yes, there are arguments against vegetarianism, but I feel they fail - just as the arguments against the immorality of slavery and rape also fail.... So I think it is okay to encourage your children to be vegetarians, but, once again, if they decide to be non-veg I probably won't approve (just as if they decided to be slave-owners), but I would accept them. And I WOULD accept them eating meat more than I would accept them if they became murderers or slave-owners because meat-eating is considerably more socially acceptable!
And my brain is dead from essay studying so I've probably written this in an offensive manner again or not explained myself well enough so I will come later and edit...
