two wrongs != right (in this case)Ikerous said:I guess you could say that they can't consent to you doing it so it's wrong. But, they also don't consent to being eaten or owned as pets either. So I guess that argument doesn't really work.

TheSomeone said:Who said anything about "everything?" We're talking about beastiality here, focus.
For one that's a slippery slope argument. This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because there is no reason to believe that one event must inevitably follow from another without an argument for such a claim.
For two, why does beastiality have to be one of those limits particularely?
Raziaar said:Okay... humanity says its wrong... the majority. You base that off of cultural conditioning. So what is to stop you from thinking all the other things that we are culturally conditioned against is right?
Our 'human rights'... that's cultural conditioning. Our views against human on human murder... that's cultural conditioning. Everything you can think of, is cultural conditioning with us... so why do you selectively ignore one of them, and use that as your argument, that it's not wrong simply because it is our conditioning?
Flyingdebris said:society is built upon a massive framework of new ideas, preexisting ideas, and firmly held beliefs. There are people who build onto it and there are others who chip away at it, both for good or ill, to set the standard for what is acceptable. To be accepting of beastiality would undermine A LOT of the preconieved notions about what it means to be a member of society as a whole. That is why i think it is a very slippery slope.
So basically you can't think of a single logical reason to be against cow sex so you're going into all this nonsense? Or do you have a logical reason? Cuz that's all I'm asking for.Flyingdebris said:society is built upon a massive framework of new ideas, preexisting ideas, and firmly held beliefs.

Besides do you want to see real life mirror the depths of the internet?
The logical reason to be against cow sex is that humans are not programmed to feel sexually attracted to cows, and the few who are attracted to cows, are considered insane and shunned by our society (because they are probably insane). Accepting this type of behavior means that our society would have to accept other types of deviant behavior which noone wants to have to put up with.Ikerous said:So basically you can't think of a single logical reason to be against cow sex so you're going into all this nonsense?

Ban pets.Raziaar said:but we can at least keep them from being abused as our own personal toys at every turn.
That doesn't seem very logicalsecret friend said:The logical reason to be against cow sex is that humans are not programmed to feel sexually attracted to cows
Look up "argumentum ad populum"secret friend said:and the few who are attracted to cows, are considered insane and shunned by our society
A baseless assumption at bestsecret friend said:(because they are probably insane)
For instancesecret friend said:Accepting this type of behavior means that our society would have to accept other types of deviant behavior
Argumentum ad populumsecret friend said:which noone wants to have to put up with.
Because you posit that sex would be anything but neutral to the animalRaziaar said:I think of it as in the animals best interests.
The cow will kick you in the face, and you will die.Ikerous said:Or do you have a logical reason? Cuz that's all I'm asking for.

TheSomeone said:Programmed? Are you retarded?
Again, using the argument that "most ppl think its wrong so it must be wrong."
secret friend said:If you have sex with cows you will die
secret friend said:you think that attraction is dictated by the logical part of the brain, don't you?
No, we have been evolutionarily programmed to feel attraction. Read a book on evolutionary psychology
Raeven0 said:Ban pets.
Raziaar said:I'm sorry, but that would be an irresponsible thing to do at this point in history. Our ancestors domesticated cats and dogs, etc. You do NOT let feral cats or dogs roam the countrysides where they are not common.
Not to mention domesticated animals have lost most of their natural survival instincts. Extinct very fast if we didn't keep them domesticated.
Theory: "It is improper to use animals as playthings for our own amusement."TheSomeone said:I'm pretty sure he wasn't serious.
Raziaar said:Domesticated pets live a better life than they would trying to survive in the wild. Safety, food is always there(for most of them), etc etc.
Does this mean:Raziaar said:Domesticated pets live a better life than they would trying to survive in the wild. Safety, food is always there(for most of them), etc etc.
Raeven0 said:Does this mean:
"It is acceptable to use domesticated animals as playthings because they are treated better than they would be in the wild"
?
And can you see where I'm going with this?
TheSomeone said:I'm not attracted to my hand, but I jack off now and then and I'm still alive.
It could just as easily be argued that animals for fun give amusement to one party, selfishly.Raziaar said:Animals for sex only gives amusement to one party, selfishly.
Thanks, we appreciate your opinionsjocky68 said:PLEASE close this thread. Why are people even talking about shagging animals? whats going on for feck sake? If your interested in this you need to be shot.
As long as I'm not harming anyone I'm not donig anything wrong. Bestiality doesn't harm anyone. Killing and stealing do.Raziaar said:What you need to explain to me... is why you ignore the taboo of society on this particular thing, yet follow the others, like not killing or stealing, etc? Those have just as much logic as your whole screwing cows should be accepted, thing.
secret friend said:Men should be allowed to stick their dicks in any hole they want.
I get it now.
Raziaar said:What you need to explain to me... is why you ignore the taboo of society on this particular thing, yet follow the others, like not killing or stealing, etc? Those have just as much logic as your whole screwing cows should be accepted, thing.
TheSomeone said:Screwing cows is okay cause you're not hurting them. Using the EXACT SAME LOGIC, I can argue that murder is wrong because you are ending someone's life. There is absolutely no double standard here.
If we start saying things like "murder is wrong because that's human conditioning and thats what I grew up getting taught" we are in serious ****ing trouble peoples, might as well go around wearing shirts that say "I'm a Tool". Watch what you think because here cummah Big Brother.

I don't like killing and stealing because they are harmful to people, not because they are socially taboo. I have no regard for the things society doesn't like; generally, all of my ideas are based on hours of logical deliberation over facts, which facts do not include "what everyone else thinks"Raziaar said:What you need to explain to me... is why you ignore the taboo of society on this particular thing, yet follow the others, like not killing or stealing, etc?

We do, unfortunatelyRaziaar said:I mean... animals in nature fight and kill each other all the time. Why shouldn't we?
All authority should be questionedRaziaar said:then why ignore those laws and taboo against the beastiality?
Raziaar said:I mean... animals in nature fight and kill each other all the time.
TheSomeone said:Doesn't make it right.
Raziaar said:Doesn't make it wrong either. That's just our 'morals' saying it is wrong. Prove to me how it is wrong otherwise.
Raziaar said:Or let me give another example. White collar crooks imbezzling money doesn't hurt people physically... so why don't we allow that? Sure, it goes against our laws... but laws are meant to be questioned, and if its not hurting anybody, it's not so bad.
You make too complex.Raziaar said:White collar crooks imbezzling money doesn't hurt people physically...
Raziaar said:Would you people apply the same logic of the cow, to the elephant?
I just don't see how you people lord your humanity over these creatures like this. It's a disgrace to humankind. We have the intelligence to be beyond this, but apparently not.
If you wanted sexual contact, heat up a watermelon or apple pie or something. Sheesh. Get off that way, not on living, breathing animals who deserve our respect.
There are no bovine philosophers.Raziaar said:How do you know what is going on in the mind of large creatures who's intelligence may rival our own, except they cannot communicate with us? Elephants are right up there with dolphins and great apes, and cows are not very far behind.
Animals are lumbering hunks of hydrocarbons. Proteins and amino acids and electrical energy. I have a consciousness, and that is why I lord.Raziaar said:I just don't see how you people lord your humanity over these creatures like this. It's a disgrace to humankind.
