Investigation finds 70,000 dogs killed in Bali each year are fed to unsuspecting tour

[Zeek Daniels]

Nothing wrong with eating dogs. Just because its domesticated doesn't mean it cannot be a source of food. Everything living on this plant is food for somthing. Maybe dog meat tastes really good. Maybe its good for you. Dont let your feelings get in the way of your brain. Its called a food chain. Dont hate on people that have a different appetite than you.

Never said that wasn't wrong.

Whats the point of the thread then?
Thread was about a huge scandal, wherein street dogs were poisoned; killed, and fed to tourists en masse.

Just did some basic searching.

1, I don't see anyone denying any links.

Just you wait. Someone will come along soon and call it racist and infract me.

2, I don't see anything that states Black people have this gene more than any other race. Do you have a source?

5.5% of Black men, 0.1% of Caucasian men, and 0.00067% of Asian men carried the 2R allele.

In humans, an association between the 2R allele of the VNTR region of the gene and an increase in the likelihood of committing serious crime or violence has been found.

That was the point until op made a stink about just eating dogs in general.

The post, word for word in this thread, states:

That is objectively incorrect. The poster made no such claim about unregulated meat caught with poison and the person you're replying to did not do so either

The thread was about street dogs poisoned; killed, and then fed to tourists.
Devolved into right vs wrong aka. my opinion vs your opinion.

and the OP started the thread with the argument that it was wrong because dogs are pets. Most of the replies, at least earlier in the thread, were challenging that line of reasoning. You can defend the 'right' side for stupid reasons.

Dogs have an uncommonly strong attachment to humans, eat a cat, eat a pig, eat whatever the fuck you want. But dogs were bred (globally) to connect with human beings as companions. The disgust comes from the fact that we MADE them love us then we kill them.

So let's increase education and birth control and education instead of dog meat in the long run. In the mean time they can eat their food-borne dogs, I would rather just not watch.

But pretending that eating a dog is cultural is retarded - those same cultures also domesticated dogs. It's not like dogs were imported to the US, domesticated, then re-exported globally.

Yeah, let's force our way into countries and make them obey our morality. That will go over really well I'm sure.

Most things are cultural. Morality is HEAVILY shaped by our cultures. A person growing up outside any system that's hungry will eat anything. It's only when that person is forced into a culture when they develop the morals of those surrounding him/her.

You seem to be learning well too.


Or it's more likely that threads normally evolve to take on a broader topic within the OP.

I'm not sure what relevance that holds to the post of mine that you quoted. Someone argued that eating dog is illegal in the majority of the world, it was proven that he was factually incorrect, and you tried to argue that with reasoning that, while relevant to the thread as a whole, meant nothing to the post you replied to. Your post was irrelevant and that's all the post you quoted stated. I'm not sure why you're responding to me with what I quoted above but it has nothing to do with the post you replied to.

[WskyDK]

If you want to say 'dogs' then say 'dogs' or you're unfairly trying to sway an argument in your favor via means other than factual points. Talk shit get shit.

The exact verbiage is less important than the context. Dog and animal can be used interchangeably in this discussion.

In the event of a disaster, I would eat my wife's dog before I ever ate a bite of canned food.

This thread also isn't about asserting what points people should and should not respond to and yet you're doing that as well. As I said before, you can argue the 'right' side for stupid reasons. People were arguing the logic OP used in judging the situation which is relevant to the topic of the thread itself. At the very least, it's far more relevant than your meta commentary on what people should and should not be discussing.

I would personally like to see more science behind it, but nothing that can be really denied with what you said.

No one here is talking about taking someones pet from them and eating it. hyperbole doesn't help you at all.

[Ghostpanther]

There are some people in places which eat monkeys. And many other gross things for myself. Not going to eat no monkey, cat or dog and many other things some people eat. But not going to knock them ether when I eat pork, beef and chicken. Live and let live when it comes to some things like food.

[Sky High]

I fail to see how eating dogs are any worse than eating a cow or a rabbit, just saying. if you're going to some fuck knows where country don't be surprised when they serve shit you're not used to eating.

A distinction exists between condoning the death of dogs and accepting that not everyone has the same love for dogs that most people do. Most people aren't so blindly loyal to their morals that they spout out nonsense when they find something they don't agree with. You can make a stupid argument for the right point which is what OP did. This was not a good action but OP's argument for why it was not a good action is nonsensical and stupid.

We could disregard that and just go "yeah this was bad" but you're on a board meant for discussion and throwing around buzzwords like 'edgy' or 'troll' that have lost all meaning by being used incorrectly so often only makes you seem stupid. If you don't like discussion, don't go to a place intended for discussion.

Considering you made no counter argument to any of the points raised against you and are continuing to resort to attacking the character of others rather than form any actual retort, I think it's fair to say you're coming off as a bit of a child going "you all are dummyheads".

I'd say 'strawman' or 'slippery slope' but you already have the buzzword quota filled with how many times you've resorted to calling people trolls rather than challenge their reasoning.
