Your sick description at the beginning was quite mind boggling. I think that you do not really know what lobsters are feeling. Though science may be able to tell us every thing, they do not necessarily know wether the lobsters can feel the pain of being dropped in boiling water. They may have a different kind of nervous system. Also, just because it is good doesnt mean that it is right. Everything on this earth was not put here for the use and pleasure of human beings.

Hmmm, no wonder your friend with Lobster hunters. 

That last line about passing the butter wus frick'n hilarious.

Hey! Know what I had at the luau I went to last summer? ROAST PIG! It was delicious!

As for other people hunting....I'm against killing for killing's sake. If people are hunting and using what they kill as a food source then I have less of a problem with it - but to kill and then not utilize what they've killed is, IMO, wrong.

I have the very same outlook. I could never hunt regardless...hahaha...if I got stranded on an island somewhere, I'd starve. I just can't kill stuff...actually, I can only eat meat if I don't think about what I'm doing...I have issues.

You mean the Simpsons quote? Sense of humor not working?

Umm...yeah...I studied that shit back in college, and if you do a bit of googling, you can find studies on the topic...anatomy and physiology are not things that can't be known or understood...

Are you a vegan? No dairy, no eggs, no meat, no fish, no animal byproducts? Do you eat Jello? Marshmellows? Do you wear makeup?


Thanks all for the great replies...

I'm going to dumb down the debate by using bumper-sticker philosophy; if it's wrong to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?

I love the Simpsons.

"Mmmmm...lobster."

You saying "If it is wrong to eat animals then why are they made of meat". Then it is ok to eat humans because they are made of meat. No I do not have any sense of humor when it comes to animal, because people treat them like they do not have any feelings although they do.

Human meat is unhealthy to eat.

"If it is wrong to eat animals then why are they made of meat".

This was meant to be a joke. Lighten up, f'cryin' out loud. You animal rights people are all so serious all the time.

Look, you want to be a vegan and deny yourself the pleasure of a good medium rare steak or slab of delicious ribs dripping with BBQ sauce (lightly burnt on the edges so the sauce is just a tad crispy), herbs and spices, go ahead.
Enjoy your eggplant parmagiana and cold cucumber-zucchini salad; just leave the rest of us alone. Do we bother you?

Pass me a napkin here, willya, I got sauce all over my hands!

I have to wonder if carrots have a nervous system....hehehe

Maybe "Veggie Tales" was REALLY a subversive attempt to stop our cruelty to produce

One of the things I hate about PETA is the way they often target children for their campaigns.
They came here last year at this time, and stood outside elementary schools so they could hand out fliers and "trading cards" featuring pictures taken in a poultry slaughterhouse. This was an attempt to dissuade kids from eating Chicken McNuggets and KFC products.
What it was, was a despicable attempt to frighten children into seeing things their way, because adults are able to make decisions for themselves. They also stood outside a couple KFCs and handed out "kids meal bags" full of blood and chicken bones (both fake, of course). Another attempt, of course, to use fear to coerce the kiddies into not eating meat.
Shame on them.
