So, I Just Returned From Africa

[Athiests4AnimalRights]

I was fighting against illegal poaching. However, this thread is not about that. I received very disturbing news upon my arrival back in the states. I had always suspected this, but now we know it's true.

A good friend of mine lent me the documentary "True Blood". Now, thus far, I've only seen the first season, and I'll spoiler the rest for those that haven't seen that.

Now, we follow the story of Bill the vampire and his blonde girlfriend. I'm sure it's no news to all of you, but it documents how True Blood was invented by the Japanese, and subsequently, vampires came out in the open.

Now, Bill is a very likable guy. He drinks the manufactured product (most of the time), rather than drink human blood. However, he does drink human blood once (with consent), and once when he's really desperate (without consent).

It got me to thinking about the plight of vampires and carnivorous creatures in general. I'm not sure the best solution. Should we cull these carnivorous creatures, retrain them, or make them above the law and moral guidelines when they need sustenance?

I have lots of sympathy for Bill the vampire, but I also cannot forget that he is a bloodthirsty carnivore.

I'm too tired to argue with all the flaws in this thread.

You could try and teach lions to eat tofu.

Have you been checked for the AIDs?

Flaws imply something not deliberate.

There are no flaws here.

[Lackadaisical2]

We should cull all carnivorous animals which we could realistically replace with human hunters. Thus we could eat all the tasty meat they currently steal from us.

I didn't have sex with any monkeys if that's the question. One was trying to seduce me a good part of the time, though.

Please look up "evolution" and "obligate carnivore." Oh, and vampires don't really exist, y'know, though I'd bite Anna Paquin, too.

It's a little harsh talking about your guide like that.

Personal grooming is difficult in the bush.

Arrogance and racism - how utterly charming.

AIDS. not AIDs. It isn't plural.

How's that racist? Isn't that speciesist? Also, I can't blame a the guy, if a monkey was trying to seduce me, I'd turn him down.

[The Corparation]

I'm confused what are we disussing here exactly?

Calling people monkeys is a tad racist...

[MisanthropicPopulism]

I think we are losing some irony around here..

He wasn't calling people monkeys, but playing on the idea that AIDS was introduced into humans though humans having sex with monkeys. The fact that you thought he was calling people monkeys make you the racist one; you apparently automatically think that any time people say monkeys, they must mean humans and that's not right. Sorry, very few of us think that way and I suggest you shouldn't either.

Are talking about applying human moral standards to carnivorous animals or genociding people that wear leather?

[Saint Clair Island]

C-minus, needs work.

A bit obvious really, try making it a bit more subtle, while at the same time carrying arguments further down the path of absurdity. This just doesn't drag out the "oh god is he serious" reaction. It's a delicate balance. For guidance you'll probably want to turn to Hammurab's older threads, his new ones are a bit shit.

[Fartsniffage]

Yes.

And monkey sex.

[Chrobalta]

Not subtle or long enough. Also it didn't really make me laugh much (and by that I mean not at all).

You're implying you can only get AIDS from having sex with a primate.

The worst is when people say AID's, as if someone named AID coined the disease.

Humor, cultivate some.
