I think that I'm better simply because of my early exposure to the internet (as this article assumes would be true of the next generation). I think the difference is in how the internet is being presented to children now versus a decade ago. Many kids today can hardly install an application to a computer, I believe because they see technology as just a part of life to take or leave, not the "exciting new thing".

Why try to use a computer when you can use a chromebook, and now that the internet is so cushy, lets click some links!

For real. What happened to a normal conservative platform without any nutty conspiracies, racism, or climate denial tacked on?

This is not an equivalent situation, being vegan or vegetarian does not make you legitimately "holier than thou". It is not a virtuous enough decision to be "holier" than the average person, and eating meat is not a bad enough action to be comparable to being a serial killer.

A University named after a disgusting, abhorrently racist and radical man makes derogatory decision.

I dont care enough to make that small of an impact.

  1. I understand that fully, trust me, but I only control my own actions. I do not care enough about the issues surrounding meat production to take that action knowing I will not enact any change. If I cared enough about those issues, I wouldn't care if anyone else followed. (As you have).

  2. That logic only applies on an individual basis, and has to be weighed against how much you care about something.

  3. I feel you have my point confused, you think I said: "There is ZERO scientific evidence that humans abstaining from eating meat would have a positive impact on our world."

I said: "There is ZERO scientific evidence humans should not eat meat."

Neither of those links show any evidence as to why humans should not eat meat. They show evidence as to why humans eating meat could assist in dealing with the effects of climate change, but that is not the same claim.

I see the logic if someones asking about a violent offense, but hypothetical questions about nonviolent crime are totally ok.

Hypothetical questions about details of a nonviolent crime should be allowed.
