Quote by: StrongHeartsWin Quite simple stating the obvious. Values do change over time, though, whether you are able to admit it or not.

Quote by: Kamehameha34 But with emancipation of slaves, the people who imposed it were those who wouldn't be negatively effected by it. For this to happen, they would have to be fine with the restriction of meat and animal products - Something which most citizens will not be able to give up.

Kamehameha, look at my quote above. If values change over time as I have stated then obviously I am referring to the general population which would be willing to accept restrictions on meat -- hence your reply "most citizens" is not the case in the construct.

Ok, I'm sick of this bullshit. I have not confused any words,...

Yes, you have. Three times. Four now, if we consider your confusion for a general change in values over time by the population not meaning "most" in the construct above. Besides not understanding word usage, you have trouble dealing with constructs. If you are sick, take some medicine, and if I were the doctor, I would prescribe a "dictionary."

What would be the consequences of disobeying your proposed restriction of meat? Jail?

What are the consequences if someone eats a human or presently an animal not permitted to be killed and eaten?

I guess the penalty would have to be severe enough to reasonabley deter someone from doing it. But, if in a democracy the laws are derived from the general public, then the majority would not violate them. But all that will only come with evolving values as I have already stated.

Though, there will always be the lawbreakers. Even today people still kill each other, and a few amongst those seem to have a liking for human flesh.

That is force, buddy. The fulfillment of your desires would lead to imposing your opinion onto others, which would, in that act, be favoring animals over humans.

See? This is a good example of what I mean when you are not comprehending words. If values evolve over time so that the general public enacts the laws that correspond to their beliefs and values, then it would not be me forcing anything on anyone. It all depends on values evolving. Why can`t you comprehend what I am saying here?

Could you please explain to me what "evolving values" and "general public" means to you. I want to confirm you are not confusing these as well -- like you have with the others.
