In regards to eating meat

[3DMonkey]

IMO, the best way to proceed is to raise animals your way, and be happy that it is enough. Cuz if you ain't happy, you ain't helping the world's happiness meter.

I wonder how much all those millions of animals being tortured on a daily basis, is affecting the world's happiness

I seriously doubt any at all. If I may, this is what I've been repeating
many times and in many ways throughout this thread, and I have been consistent.

The action of polarizing toward positive begins with acceptance. I cannot change the world. I can only change my contribution to the world. By first finding acceptance for the actions of others that I currently deem 'bad', then I can proceed forth with clear understanding of love. On the other hand, if I continue to choose to reject the actions of others, then I only become like them myself and I begin to contribute to the same mentality that started the ones I rejected on their path.

I can only change what I think and do, so if I want to affect the world's love meter, I have to do it by my single alotted notch.

I like the way Monica moderates the ad hominem attacks on food-harmonizers. Character assassination and covert distractions can or should sharpen the STO wits. QED

Character assassination?

Like "you would allow a murderer to kill a child"

Covert distractions?

Like reminding me to stick to forum rules when I've done nothing to break them?

Is that what you are talking about? I'm confused.

If I have made a comment toward any person here, please locate that comment and let me know.

On the other hand, if there are no comments as such to be found, please contact the moderators and let them know that. I am being accused. I need help in defense.

I remember that conversation, Monkey. You know I never said those things.

Since you think it's ok to let a person kill a child, then am I "looking down on you" if I voice my opinion that it's not ok?

I can understand why someone who thinks allowing a murderer to kill a child, might feel that way.

Your views are very strange to me, Monkey.

For clarification, this is not me being angry that Monica said these things.

This is me demonstrating that I have not said anything more worthy of "invoking rules" than Monica has.

Monkey, by digging up old quotes and quoting them out of context. You know full well that I was incredulous at the time, after you explicitly said you were in favor of letting the murderer kill the child. There was no misunderstanding there. You have repeatedly stated this. All I did was echo it back to you, trying to get clarification.

You never denied believing that killers should be allowed to kill children, and in fact repeated it again and again. And now you throw it back at me, for repeating what you said yourself?

You are misrepresenting me, by quoting just snippets of the conversation. You are leaving out your part, where you were the one saying "those things" you now accuse me of, as though so awful.

This has to stop here. This thread has degenerated into petty bickering. I have asked you to pm me if you have a grievance, rather than continuing to post inflammatory and accusatory statements directed at me or anyone else.

These are new quotes!!! You brought these up on the 12th from a conversation from weeks past (so long ago I don't know the date). You brought them up out of context into a conversation where they certainly did not apply. Why? My guess is to exaggerate and to defame me in the process.

I most certainly did deny that I would allow a murder to take place. I denied it emphatically.

You accused me, Monica. You accused me. And it further defames me when you post comments like this, and then finish it with 'as a moderator I ask that you PM any further regards'. Well hell, you could have done that as well, but you didn't. Why? It certainly wasn't out of #1 rule RESPECT.
