If your reason does not cut across issues then it is based on prejudice.

Not if I view it objectively, which I have
You are viewing things from the status quo, of which you are a part and defending based on your diet and not proven comments you are stating on evolution.

Quote:
Don't get self-righteous on me. You conveyed that you thought I was attacking vegetarianism, you were wrong.
Then cite where I specifically said that by quoting me. Don`t make me guess what you are referring to.

Quote:
I said meat is necessary for evolutionary integrity, as proven by our history.
All my years of reading I have never come across that proven or published in a well respected peer reviewed journal. I guess you have and could provide me to a source here on the internet for me to verify what you say is accepted by the majority of mainstream evolutionary scientist.

Quote:
It is natural selection.. Man became a race of meat-eaters for the same reason that finches grew beaks that suited their eating habits: Evolution.
Proof links, please? And before each link, a short excerpt in the words of the experts or reporters of the study would be nice.

Regardless of the past, man need not eat meat to survive and thrive in a modern world as ours is today. We need not eat opportunistically anymore or out of passion. I live and base my decisions on the present information and what we are capable of now. Why don`t you?

Bring forth the evidence please. Surely you can post some excerpts and then some links to follow them up for verification, can`t you?
Quote:
I'll need to see what this was in response to.
It is in response to this statement of yours:
Quote:
Infact, there is evidence to suggest that our vastly superior intelligence over all other species on this planet was contributed to the large amount of protein that our troglodytic ancestors consumed.
Quote:
We are experience a dilemma that comes with technology. The very fact that we occupy the position of the race that CAN cause such destruction does say something in terms of intelligence. Intelligence is a tool. It won't always be used wisely.
That would mean it would be of the utmost stupidity to use it unwisely, huh? -- perhaps like polluting our environment or spending untold recourses on plans and means at destroying ourselves.

I would say that the animal most able to reason will come out on top regardless of diet. Read Einstein`s quote in my signature. Are you suggesting you are more inciteful than he was?

Quote:
You are turning this into an environment crusade, of which I don't see the connection to the aspects of vegetarianism.
You are the one who brought up intelligence, therefore, that is fair play to question in how that can be perceived. You need to learn that points brought up by you can smack you in the head if you are not sure where bringing them up may lead you.

Quote:
I would have thought that you would relate that to the remark I was responding to, about how humans don't "hump eachother when the feeling arises", like dogs.
That remark still stands. I have not withdrawn it and you have not given any non-prejudicial reason to do so.
