Do you think it's wrong to boil lobster or Crabs alive for human consumption ?

@SW-User I suppose I would. SO what your answer to the question

@Nexus World War Two: Leningrad. Stalingrad. That's my response. How did the survivors live another day? They ate what they were fated to eat. It was all foreordained.

@SW-User So you excuse the boiling of creatures alive by a wwII situation ? When was the last time that situation existed in modern history.

[@Tan @Nexus I don't excuse. I accept centuries of cruelty and barbarism as humanity's fate. My conservative side (reality) has convinced my hopeful side (dreamscape) that God will wipe the slate clean, admit His experiment was a failure and... who knows what will come next?

@SW-User So you can't answer my original question ? that's okay

@Nexus i think you and I need to share a pillow so what's important blah blah whatever...

@SW-User lol, SO what's your answer? Is boiling a living creature for human consumption right or wrong ? Can't you answer yes or no ?

@Nexus You know full well the answer. Any creature facing starvation will choose their life over another. Even if cannibalism need be necessary.

But what you're really asking is - - why won't we message?

@SW-User a creature facing starvation doesn't need to boil anything alive. He can kill it first and then ocook it. I will mesage anyone , anythime but you do know i am not attracted to men. Please don't waste your precious time.

@Nexus It seems you're determined to win this set-to. @Nexus

@SW-User not really, I appreciate others opinion, and your opinion is as valid as the next. But if you require a response i always respond. Sorry if you feel I was awkward in my response

@Nexus You are a fighter. I'm not so much 'cause not much - even life and death - means much to me. We're specks, dust. All is ultimately an Old Man's joke.

@SW-User Thank you for the compliment , I guessing we are more than specs of dust. We are conscience beings as well as spiritual beings capable of understanding the universe and a God. We are all fighters and winners in how we thing and create

@Nexus I cannot bolster your naive belief that all will work out if only... if only, if only.

@SW-User you have an erroneous view of others belief

@Nexus Beliefs and truths will always be at odds for any definitive conclusions.

@SW-User it will always seem obscure to others but never to the believer

@Nexus So, the believer has the exclusive hold on "truth"? And, what is this truth? What about truth in any and all animal kingdoms? Hasn't truth evolved over humanity's short time on Earth? From the earliest civilizations? And - - - - -- what about Truth in other worlds in the universe?

@SW-User The only truth is what we believe to be true. Not what is the truth. If I have a faith in truth then nothing can deny it , not even the truth.

@Nexus And here I thought you had something worthwhile to say. You are reverting to cant: the refuge of the ill-informed.

@SW-User Only you can recant your opinion in reality. My Opinion will always remain mine. And it can't be recanted

@Nexus If you own your own mind your opinion can always be enhanced listening to reason which will surge past mere belief.

@SW-User enhanced by whom ? My belief can't be enhanced by anyone but me. Who can change anyone's faith ? impossible

@Nexus We're at loggerheads, T. Old World (you) versus Reason (me). Let's call it a draw.

Who's right? Who's wrong? Who must give just a little?

@SW-User yes I give a little. I have an opinion and so do you. No one can say who's right and who's wrong , but just that we differ in opinion. Simple
