My opinion of the human race.

[GreatandWiseTrixie]

A computer, an internet connection, a gaming box and time to indulge in them and yak on the weeb and be a vegan are luxuries most can only dream about.

Not really, as most homeless people have internet access these days. And quality of life shouldn't be decided by materialism, but psychology and social things mostly. Also many in poor cultures in isolated areas have no choice but to go on a vegan diet.

There are no Eskimos in Antartica?

And for good reason.

Life can always be "worse", but it never ever gets better.

Yes it does, I can pretty much guarantee that your life is better than your ancestors.

Doubt that any trueblooded Native American would say the modern life is superior to their old ways.

No idea what Christ's prediction was? Your teeth make you an omnivore, as such you should be eating animals as well as vegetables.

Strawman argument, and humans only have a small percentage of sharp teeth, by your logic animal eating should be kept to a bare minimum, not the disgusting wasteful gluttony that is present in modern day living.

Trixie puts on a show of being non-human, therefore sub-human as she displays none of the positive qualities associated with being a good human being. I'm guessing she's a juvenile, living in her parents basement, and bitter about her lack of accomplishment.

As usual thedoc watson bores me with his innaccurate deductions. I don't care about "accomplishment" that's a human grasping at the ungraspable. My goal isn't to impress humans, it's only to motivate them.

How can something be sub-human? Human is as low as you can go, that's like saying "sub-nazi" or "sub-poacher."
Typical meat-eater deflecting guilt and calling vegans "evil" for having more morality than they do. You are like the redcoat characters from Bablyon 5, always blaming others even though they start everything.

America is truly the land of plenty.

No choice, my point exactly.

And for good reason.

Yup, the Southern Ocean.

Doubt that any trueblooded Native American would say the modern life is superior to their old ways.

Doubt any true-blooded native American have any idea what life was like in the old days, fairly short I guess and doubt the women had such a high-old time of it.

Nothing to do with the percentage but the function.

I agree, meat consumption should be a lot lower if one wishes to be healthier or with fairly longs breaks between heavy consumption, a la the old hunters.

Where are your sources? My sources are going to Native American Expos. They had lifespans twice as long as the Europeans of their day. Why would the women be miserable also? I thought denying women's rights was the European habit.

No choice, my point exactly.

Point is, you may call this modern lifestyle luxury but it's a disgusting form of luxury. Luxury at what price, toxic water, genocide, sickening social norms and what else? The ability to be in proximity to a filthy burger king is no need to thank man or god. It promotes genocide and is full of filthy toxins that make you sick. If luxury consists of no choice but to consume toxins every two seconds, I don't see how that's luxury. But like I said, it can always be worse, there are places where theres nothing but toxins and no cheap heart attack waiting at every corner. It's the "mans' way of saying - You don't like the crumbs we give you? It could be worse, you could be a chimney sweep, or sent to Africa. Thank God for the blessing of Life. In this manner they maintain their strangehold over the peons, and even more concerning - get fools to believe that life is a blessing, and not a curse.

that's unnecessary an ad hominem like that. Right or wrong it doesn't really add to the discussion.

I doubt Trixie is either on a higher end more disfunctional end of the Narcissistic personality disorder spectrum or the psychopath spectrum. But you never know...

I think being pissed off with the way human beings behave is pretty normal. I think though we are all guilty of being only human nonetheless.

I have a lot of time for Trixie and it is not because, he or she or it agrees with me, precisely the opposite, it is because almost everything he says is against what I think. And that I think is far more valuable than anything the human race has yet to learn. I am not of course saying I don't like people who agree with me, but, I personally have learned to value people who don't too. If only the human beings of this world would... of course boring insufferable people who have all the answers and never listen to anyone I think are the death of reason, but anyone who is prepared to discuss things openly with the intrinsic belief that they could be wrong, no matter how slim the chance is, I tend to like. Even if it is me.
