🐞 creepy crawlies have creepy bug rights too, no? 🐜
So, is this a forum for retards?

A mind is a life support system, and it achieves its function through judgment, and now you are playing the part of a retard that does not know its own job, nor can it apparently read a dictionary.

Asking the world to be a spectator in you mental masturbation is only evidence of chronic dysfunctionality.

Thank you, I agree the mind has only one job to do and that is to recognise that all Minds are illiterate, simply because they don’t exist. Existence is mental.

You’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope.

Considering how the world works, it would not surprise me if "mowing the grass" is murder to the little bugs in it. Living is a crime.

Yeah, God is benevolent.

I agree God is malevolent.

God doesn’t exist. Existence is God.

And by your own admission nothing is choosing to exist, so don’t be scared.

Murder is a legal term, so no, mowing your lawn isn't murder. The folks in the Law Now forum are laughing.

Man’s law is illegal. Illegality is legality.

Unlawful is lawful. Non violence is violence.

The universe stays silent , it permits everything, with no resistance, it’s all allowing, it’s an unconditional serial killer.

Man made laws that forbid murder then go on to kill innocent 19 year old babies on the killing fields of war, none of which received a hero’s welcome.

Are the folks in the "Law Now" forum certain that bugs don't possess consciousness nor have the capacity to experience suffering? If so, maybe they can engage in some neuro-philosophical discussion to enlighten the rest of us why that cannot possibly be the case?

He's correct. It's only a legal term. And yes, of course INSECTS possess 'consciousness' and experience suffering. Why wouldn't they? Pain is one of the most important survival mechanisms and therefore one of the most primitive.
It's quite unbelievable that there are still humans around who think only humans experience pain and suffer. They are usually pathetic religious nuts. How clueless would someone need to be?
