Ali G's playing devil's advocate but the sad fact is a lot of people are actually serious about opinions expressed by him a satirical way. I know alot of people who actually think Ali G's work is serious such as his song 'throw the Jews down the well'
@fistfulofknowledge Grrrrrr. I sincerely dislike people who take his jokes all on face value, and don't realise that he is possibly THE smartest comedian, and that everything he does is just awesomely hilarious social commentary. Unfortunately, there will continue to be dumb people who have obviously never read or watched an interview with Sasha Baron Cohen.
@slashrocks000 i asked a similar question to a friend, to go against his beliefs or I will hurt another person...his answer was not even if the other person died, because HE did not cause the death and will not get penalized for it. How much is your belief worth? Btw the situation was to bow to a statue of Buddha.
What a stupid thing that guy said. He was trying to be deep by saying there's more value to animals and plants than what they can do for you. But isn't the value of an object (subjective: to an individual) defined as how it benefits that individual? People take existentialism too far.
@BeethovenIsGod It has nothing to do with existentialism. The animal rights movement is premised on the idea that animals (unlike plants) have inherent moral value because of their ability to experience pleasure or pain. Just as it's wrong to cause pain and suffering to a human to serve your own ends, so is it wrong to do the same to animals. Not sure how you took existentialism from that?
@mccsa200 The argument I was making was that he was completely ignoring the definition as value in order to explain that animals and plants have a different existence. EXISTENTIALISM. Anyway, don't respond I'm not going to argue with some thick fool over the internet who was too dumb to understand a small point I made.
@grumpybritishguy Yeah, that's right. The argument I was making was that he was completely ignoring the definition as value in order to explain that animals and plants have a different existence.

@Whimzy74 They invite them to the show asking for an interview.

@Whimzy74 cont. Richard, if I'm correct, is the doctor. He only says one or two things and honestly, lets be fair, there's not much for him to say in the first place. The fact that the majority of animals can feel pain is actually much more debated than you may think. And vegetarianism, mind my saying, is something to be pretty damn proud of when you're surrounded by the people causing a quadrillion scale holocaust and world starvation by the consumption of burnt flesh. Veggies FTW. :D
@marekiller8 They're free to act professional in any setting. What I meant by taking him too seriously is their horrified reaction to him when he talked about microwaving a mouse. It never occurred to them that the whole thing was a joke, that a host would invite animal rights activists to the show to tell them that he microwaved a mouse or kicking hedgehogs.

@Whimzy74 The double post was a mistake, but I enjoy you took the time to copy it if you did. If it was a genuine mistake, weird coincidence. Microwaving a mouse? Again they think he's for real. If you're saying that someone shouldn't be so over reactive at hearing someone ACTUALLY microwaved a mouse, I'm simply astonished... She only held a hedgehog and pet the creature. How is this not normal, if you wouldn't mind answering?
@marekiller8 I was saying that its ridiculous that someone would invite animal rights activists to tell them that he microwaved a mouse. Obvious troll went right over them.
The hedgehog lady looks like shes spent most of her adult life raising them. Admirable to some extent but at some point it seems like a waste of life.
A degree doesnt mean your intelligent, it just means you paid a lot of money and worked for a while to accumulate some philosophical trivia.
@Whimzy74 I'm tired right now so lets make this quick. He would say such a thing because the topic was animal rights, and he did not say it right away. Not everyone thinks in internet terms (e.g., trolling), especially older generations. You must be learned to some extent in the relative subject to receive a degree in it. This is basically irrefutable. The hedgehog lady case is so weak now I'm not even gonna bother with it.
@marekiller8 His ridiculousness was escalating until what he was saying was so outrageous it had to be a joke. Trolling is a new term for something that's been around forever.
If you saw an old granny in a sweater who took care of 20 cats, would you say life well spent? This lady looks like your stereotypical cat lady except shes replaced cats with hedgehogs. Sure its a weak claim but I bet I'm right.
@Whimzy74 All in all he invited them making them think it was real, and they may have simply thought he was just a not-too bright guy. How easy do you think it would've been to just announce while on air that the guy's joking? It would be awkward in any way to do anything by which one can tell you know he's joking. Seriously, put yourself in their shoes and think of what you would do. I personally would keep my suspicions to myself.

@marekiller8 I believe if you can rationally argue your point of view, you can be proud. However, Micheal's arguement was pretty much "You're lifestyle is disgusting, mine is better" instead of "You're wrong, here's why..." People are self indulgent. A better approach than making people feel like shit to join your cause is to tell them the benefits of vegetarianism. cont.
@Whimzy74 I've been on the Mediterranean diet for a year and feel great. I pass on what I've expereinced to others and if it resonates with them, great. You cant impress your will on others and expect a quality outcome. The best you'll get is a few ineffectual followers. Free eaters and informed deciders FTW :P
@Whimzy74 Wow! Do I have a surprise for you! That explanation was great, and guess what? That's right!! You've just justified... *drum roll*... CANNIBALISM! Not happy with your results? Feel free to try again. :)
@Whimzy74 I tell you you just justified something and you give me the definition of it? Wow. I don't know where to start (or end, for that matter) on that comment, so I'll just explain your justification. "Free eaters... FTW" Need I say more?
@marekiller8 Only an idiot read the last sentence of the book and tells people they got the message. Of course thats what you thought I meant by Free eaters, you had no context. What I was saying is if you want to be heard you shouldn't be a shithead and impress your beliefs on others as if they're sinning. People are free to choose their diets. Free eaters.
I dont know whats worse. Talking to vegetarians or christians. Both closed minded and can only consider one idea at a time.
@Whimzy74 Actually in so many different things I've found meat-eaters more like Christians: ignorant, majority, brainwashed, and many more aspects. And what are YOU saying about religion when you just used the word "sinning"? I'm not religious but that's just hypocritical if not ignorant. And you're not understanding that your idea on free eaters is an individual context. It does need extra support. Free eaters means you're free to eat what you want. Finding it hard to understand why not humans.
@marekiller8 I absolutely agree with you about Christians. I'm not ignorant, you just continually misinterpret what I say in an attempt to attack me. Sinning isn't just attributed to religions though I do consider Vegetarianism a religion. Vegetarians have strongly held uncompromising beliefs that have lead to radical action. You also believe that your way of life is the one true way to live. Religion.
Free eaters isn't an established term. Cannibalism is. I was responding to Veggies FTW
@Whimzy74 Vegetarianism is nothing like a religion. The best thing I can compare it to, which is actually very similar but on a far smaller scale, was the Civil Rights Movement and Slavery. We are the North; you are the South. Have your go at why this is not the case. The actions are just as radical: some will kill, but its mainly break in, destroy, rescue, protest, stuff like that. I am a nihilist so I don't believe there are "right" ways to live, but along a certain moral basis there are.
Actually Vegetarianism is very much like a religion if you read Durkheim...
A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, i.e., things set apart and forbidden--beliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them.
—Émile Durkheim, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, Book 1, Ch. 1
There is no need to mention anything supernatural, and it applies brilliantly to vegetarianism.
@formless777 As brilliantly as it applies to human rights activism, or the general society. Problem, personwhohastroublewiththecomprehensionoftheactualcircumstancesoftheology?
@formless777 vegtarians' motivations are different. some do it because they think they are respecting animal rights--the loonies. others couldn't care less about animal rights and do it for the health/weight loss benefits and cheat on being a vegan every so often.

Free eaters isn't an established term. Cannibalism is. I was responding to Veggies FTW
@Seedofwinter I am a vegan as of now and I plan to be for the rest of my life. I am a vegan because I think with our current social morals it is unacceptable and illogical to kill a living, sentient being. As smaller reasons, veganism/vegetarianism reduces world starvation and is healthier, but animal rights is my main concern. :) Ask me to go into the ethical and even biological things backing up veganism and I will gladly.
@marekiller8 I see where you're coming from; animal suffering I think is a very legitimate issue to raise. I find that Corporate farms are just wholly nefarious with the way the treat animals. And it break my heart to see a cow abused right before it's going to get exterminated. Vegans do seem to be more healthy and live longer as well, most obviously because they aren't consuming Chol.
But if you are against us as animals eating other animals, are you against other animals when they do it?
@Seedofwinter Yes, I am indeed against all forms of murder because, as I treat animals equally to humans, I will judge them in pretty much the same way, but it is far easier to understand they are pretty much helpless and that they have a different sense of morality from humans, developed by their unique lifestyles, and this morality does not usually outlaw killing. If you look closely enough at human morality there are several good arguments supporting that it supports animal rights.
@Seedofwinter Pretty much stay away from saturated fats like butter and replace them with olive oil. Eat lots of nuts, oats, fruits, and fish; eat a moderate amount of cheese, yogurt, chicken, and wine. The diet is geared towards keeping the heart healthy.
@Seedofwinter That is the main source of protein aside from nuts. Fish are easier to digest than other meats and also have omega fatty acids which promote improved brain cognition. If you're not a fish fan then you probably wouldn't like this diet.
@Whimzy74 Both the people on the right side had some degree of philosophical study. They thought hard about why they wanted to adopt a more ethically acceptable diet, and I doubt someone sitting at home disagreeing with them could provide much to back it up. He's not making anyone feel like what they are I MEAN you know whatever you said you know. All he did was act disgusted at the idea of shoving burnt muscle mass down your throat, that's all.
@Mr13born79 Eh, don't you fucking dare insult me. You yanks don't know shit about england/scotland rivalry, and quite frankly you pricks piss everyone else in britain when you come off with those ignorant statements.
Eat this chicken or we will kill another chicken. What does that depend on; how the prepared chicken has lived and died; how the current health status of the other chicken is; if the eater has any chicken allergies; how the chicken will die if killed. what else?
I saw an awesome bumper sticker the other day it read
What's funny is that there is actually a really clever philosophical dialogue behind this. Seriously think about it vegeterians? What if you didn't eat a chicken, I would eat two, what would you do?
Our bodies, specically digestive systems, are composed in a way that we should eat both Meats and vegtables to effectively gain nurishment. I'm not saying we can't or even shouldn't live without meat, but it is clear that the traditionally effective way to live is with a diet composing of both meats and vegatables (and more). We are made significantly different too Herbivores and it's part of what makes us human... :)

The Bible mentions that animals were put on this Earth for mankind. Here's what that means to me.
Animals are vulnerable and weaker than people. We must take care of them. Serving their needs serves ours.
Our angel souls are designed to serve just as race horses are born to race. Our souls thrive when we serve those who are more vulnerable than us.
God serves us in that way. He takes care of us.
As children learn to parent by playing with dolls, our souls learn Godliness by caring for animals.

@Whimzy74 The double post was a mistake, but I enjoy you took the time to copy it if you did. If it was a genuine mistake, weird coincidence. Microwaving a mouse? Again they think he's for real. If you're saying that someone shouldn't be so over reactive at hearing someone ACTUALLY microwaved a mouse, I'm simply astonished... She only held a hedgehog and pet the creature. How is this not normal, if you wouldn't mind answering?

@marekiller8 I was saying that its ridiculous that someone would invite animal rights activists to tell them that he microwaved a mouse. Obvious troll went right over them.
The hedgehog lady looks like shes spent most of her adult life raising them. Admirable to some extent but at some point it seems like a waste of life.
A degree doesnt mean your intelligent, it just means you paid a lot of money and worked for a while to accumulate some philosophical trivia.

@Whimzy74 I'm tired right now so lets make this quick. He would say such a thing because the topic was animal rights, and he did not say it right away. Not everyone thinks in internet terms (e.g., trolling), especially older generations. You must be learned to some extent in the relative subject to receive a degree in it. This is basically irrefutable. The hedgehog lady case is so weak now I'm not even gonna bother with it.

@marekiller8 His ridiculousness was escalating until what he was saying was so outrageous it had to be a joke. Trolling is a new term for something that's been around forever.
If you saw an old granny in a sweater who took care of 20 cats, would you say life well spent? This lady looks like your stereotypical cat lady except shes replaced cats with hedgehogs. Sure its a weak claim but I bet I'm right.

@Whimzy74 All in all he invited them making them think it was real, and they may have simply thought he was just a not-too bright guy. How easy do you think it would've been to just announce while on air that the guy's joking? It would be awkward in any way to do anything by which one can tell you know he's joking. Seriously, put yourself in their shoes and think of what you would do. I personally would keep my suspicions to myself.

@marekiller8 I believe if you can rationally argue your point of view, you can be proud. However, Micheal's arguement was pretty much "You're lifestyle is disgusting, mine is better" instead of "You're wrong, here's why..." People are self indulgent. A better approach than making people feel like shit to join your cause is to tell them the benefits of vegetarianism. cont.

@Whimzy74 I've been on the Mediterranean diet for a year and feel great. I pass on what I've expereinced to others and if it resonates with them, great. You cant impress your will on others and expect a quality outcome. The best you'll get is a few ineffectual followers. Free eaters and informed deciders FTW :P

@marekiller8 Only an idiot read the last sentence of the book and tells people they got the message. Of course thats what you thought I meant by Free eaters, you had no context. What I was saying is if you want to be heard you shouldn't be a shithead and impress your beliefs on others as if they're sinning. People are free to choose their diets. Free eaters.
I dont know whats worse. Talking to vegetarians or christians. Both closed minded and can only consider one idea at a time.
Whimzy74 4 months ago
@Whimzy74 Actually in so many different things I've found meat-eaters more like Christians: ignorant, majority, brainwashed, and many more aspects. And what are YOU saying about religion when you just used the word "sinning"? I'm not religious but that's just hypocritical if not ignorant. And you're not understanding that your idea on free eaters is an individual context. It does need extra support. Free eaters means you're free to eat what you want. Finding it hard to understand why not humans.
marekiller8 4 months ago
@marekiller8 I absolutely agree with you about Christians. I'm not ignorant, you just continually misinterpret what I say in an attempt to attack me. Sinning isn't just attributed to religions though I do consider Vegetarianism a religion. Vegetarians have strongly held uncompromising beliefs that have lead to radical action. You also believe that your way of life is the one true way to live. Religion.
Free eaters isn't an established term. Cannibalism is. I was responding to Veggies FTW
Whimzy74 4 months ago
@Whimzy74 Vegetarianism is nothing like a religion. The best thing I can compare it to, which is actually very similar but on a far smaller scale, was the Civil Rights Movement and Slavery. We are the North; you are the South. Have your go at why this is not the case. The actions are just as radical: some will kill, but its mainly break in, destroy, rescue, protest, stuff like that. I am a nihilist so I don't believe there are "right" ways to live, but along a certain moral basis there are.
marekiller8 4 months ago
@marekiller8
Actually Vegetarianism is very much like a religion if you read Durkheim...
A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, i.e., things set apart and forbidden--beliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them.
—Émile Durkheim, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, Book 1, Ch. 1
There is no need to mention anything supernatural, and it applies brilliantly to vegetarianism.

@formless777 vegtarians' motivations are different. some do it because they think they are respecting animal rights--the loonies. others couldn't care less about animal rights and do it for the health/weight loss benefits and cheat on being a vegan every so often.

Seedofwinter 4 months ago
@Seedofwinter I am a vegan as of now and I plan to be for the rest of my life. I am a vegan because I think with our current social morals it is unacceptable and illogical to kill a living, sentient being. As smaller reasons, veganism/vegetarianism reduces world starvation and is healthier, but animal rights is my main concern. :) Ask me to go into the ethical and even biological things backing up veganism and I will gladly.
marekiller8 4 months ago
@marekiller8 I see where you're coming from; animal suffering I think is a very legitimate issue to raise. I find that Corporate farms are just wholly nefarious with the way the treat animals. And it break my heart to see a cow abused right before it's going to get exterminated. Vegans do seem to be more healthy and live longer as well, most obviously because they aren't consuming Chol.
But if you are against us as animals eating other animals, are you against other animals when they do it?
Seedofwinter 4 months ago
@Seedofwinter Yes, I am indeed against all forms of murder because, as I treat animals equally to humans, I will judge them in pretty much the same way, but it is far easier to understand they are pretty much helpless and that they have a different sense of morality from humans, developed by their unique lifestyles, and this morality does not usually outlaw killing. If you look closely enough at human morality there are several good arguments supporting that it supports animal rights.

@Whimzy74 So how is your diet different than anyone else's, besides the beef part?
Seedofwinter 4 months ago
@Seedofwinter Pretty much stay away from saturated fats like butter and replace them with olive oil. Eat lots of nuts, oats, fruits, and fish; eat a moderate amount of cheese, yogurt, chicken, and wine. The diet is geared towards keeping the heart healthy.
Whimzy74 4 months ago
@Whimzy74 So the diet is mostly fish?
Seedofwinter 4 months ago
@Seedofwinter That is the main source of protein aside from nuts. Fish are easier to digest than other meats and also have omega fatty acids which promote improved brain cognition. If you're not a fish fan then you probably wouldn't like this diet.
Whimzy74 4 months ago
@Whimzy74 Both the people on the right side had some degree of philosophical study. They thought hard about why they wanted to adopt a more ethically acceptable diet, and I doubt someone sitting at home disagreeing with them could provide much to back it up. He's not making anyone feel like what they are I MEAN you know whatever you said you know. All he did was act disgusted at the idea of shoving burnt muscle mass down your throat, that's all.

Eat this chicken or we will kill another chicken. What does that depend on; how the prepared chicken has lived and died; how the current health status of the other chicken is; if the eater has any chicken allergies; how the chicken will die if killed. what else?

Our bodies, specically digestive systems, are composed in a way that we should eat both Meats and vegtables to effectively gain nurishment. I'm not saying we can't or even shouldn't live without meat, but it is clear that the traditionally effective way to live is with a diet composing of both meats and vegatables (and more). We are made significantly different too Herbivores and it's part of what makes us human... :)
