  • You know, it's very insulting that you eat whale meat and condone how whales are slaughtered. You always say that "ethics aren't one size fit all" but in reality they are. Ethics are not subjective to culture at all, but instead they are objective around the idea of reducing suffering.

  • @Eceoes...Hello again, "Self-"righteous- Eceoes. Still spouting your beliefs and calling them "ethics"? The whalemeat that I've eaten is from whales that are no longer suffering. If ethics are "objective around the idea of reducing suffering", then japanese whalers not only REDUCE the suffering of whales, but END it completely. Do you like my "objective" interpretation of your "subjective" ethics? Isn't philosophy FUN!! I made a video response to one of your videos. Would you like to see it?

  • @The6sicksikhs

    Listen it's obvious that you don't take the suffering of other life forms seriously. If this was back in the 1800s you probably would have been making jokes about slaves getting abused. There is no NEED to kill whales, therefore in the objective to reduce suffering, we shouldn't kill whales, how is that not an ethical choice?

  • @Eceoes...There you go again, comparing apples and oranges. The fact that I have eaten whalemeat and didn't shed a tear has NO bearing on my feeling towards slavery or ANY OTHER ISSUE. I grew up surrounded by animals. I tended them. I cared for them. Some of them became food. That's life on a farm. Did you grow up on a farm? No? I didn't think you did. Do you see how your idea that "ethics is not subective" is bullshit? I hate tofu. But I bet I eat it more often than you think.

  • @The6sicksikhs

    So you really think that you can have a total disregard to the lives of animals and still call yourself ethical. If people have the ability to eat more ethical diets then the ethical choice should be to choose that diet. The Japanese people would not die out if they stopped whaling.

    I compare animals to the slaves back in the 1800s because animals are today's slaves and they are today's holocaust victims. Every culture has strong aspects of specieism.

  • @Eceoes...You piss and moan about ethics but I think you don't fully understand the meaning of the word "ethics" or the concept behind it. I highly regard the lives of animals and I am thankful every time I eat of one. You constantly compare animals to slaves in the 1800's? How shallow are you? Must it only be about YOUR culture? What about slaves in the 1700s? What about slaves in the 1600s? What about slaves on April 3rd, 33 AD? You have YOUR ethics. You don't get to choose for others.
