Finally, there is one response making sense. For a while, I thought that I could be an English teacher for our net surfers. Just kidding.We are what we eat!! I am not going to spend 10,000 dollars on a piece of steak but I would still eat meat, fish and veggies to survive and to enjoy my life.

Your reponse to humanitarianism is certainly a logical and legitimate way to respect each life and I respect that.

Let's go a little deeper. How do you define respect? Does repect imply zero-killing? Does repect contradicts necessity? For example, is massive pest control by means of pesticides irrespectful?

The way many animals are raised nowdays is certainly irrespectful in my point of view, yet how may one address the issue of "respect" with current culture and the way we live--a world highly influenced by cost efficiency and fast profit?

It's easier to talk the walk, than to walk the talk. Would you have a solution to the conflict of RESPECT(MORALITY) vs CULTURE & NECESSITY?

I think morality (respect) a mere by-product of knowledge and science. Imagine back in prehistoric times when killing is a sheer neccesity, do you think they even knew what is "repect".

The bottom line is this: if we depend on killing to survive having no alternatives, morality does not exist, respect does not exist.

大家好：

I respect everyone's viewpoint,including yours.

"The humanitarianism's way to treat all the creature .....",
are you sure that you really recognize it?

The mean is killing or eating all the creature in the humanitarianism's way....

If you still can not understand,please take a look the others post.

It is a pity that we are 雞同鴨講,so I would not respond to you any more,but I will still concern your opinions.

Have a nice day..^_^..

I am not saying that you are not respecting my opinion. I guess you didn't remember my previous post lei. Anyway, I was saying hunting animals or killing is originate from the prehistoric times, so one premise I took was that it's part of our genes.

Anyways....

你是在罵人嗎？如果你到那家餐廳門口講講看 不知道誰會折壽喔
何況修行者好像不罵人 留點空間吧

一客一萬元的牛排，吃了會把福報用完，會折壽，不是在罵人。是在說我自己。我的師父聖嚴是這樣告戒我不可濫用福報的。
