Being a vegetarian isn't just about not causing suffering for animals  but your right, all life should be seen as sacred, and should be treated with respect and only be taken if needed. my reason for being a vegetarian is for environmental reason though.... -------------------- WAR IS PEACE

lol i know i was joking. Seriously though i do respect all vegertarians views, i think most vegaterians have really good views on not eating meat. Reasons like youv'e said about the enviromental side of it. -------------------- Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

Being alive is feeling pain. Who knows if plants are alive.

Are people who are vegetables alive? I don't think so.

I'm talking about being alive as with a conscious. Not just consuming earthly resources. You pull a trigger on a gun, which makes the hammer fall. Is the gun a conscious living being? Or just a Object.

It's sort of redundant to mention this.....but I remember reading a snippet article in Omni magazine quite a few years back regarding this matter.... in this particular study there was a notable electro-chemical change in response to various stimuli... cutting, atmospheric changes, even the prescence of certain people and creatures, etc.... of course telling you all this is useless without citing the actual people and places involved in the study..... so I'll have to see if I can find that info and hit you back with that......
if I remember correctly it was the same issue as the guy who theorised our species would evolve further through the use of Magic Mushrooms.... but I may be mistaken.... oh well..... I'll try to find it and let you know... -------------------- Fed shit and kept in the dark......

I know what you mean about caring for the plants.
When I left to go abroad, it was VERY IMPORTANT to find a good home for my plants. Your two-colored Christmas Cactus sounds interesting. You are fortunate to have friends who tend them for you. Connie |
