Mass Killing of Dolphins (Kindly Watch This)

[desertfox]

to brownprose and the_child

the problem with such intellectual debate is that it tends to alienate the common man, and thus since 70-80% of human population does in fact, fall under the category of "the common man", unless you illustrate your ideas and examples in such a way that everyone reading this thread can actually understand them better, both of you are merely adding letters and words to this thread that most people will probably just glance at, and cringe at all the various references and allusions to ideas, books and authors they haven't even encountered or read yet. If you argue that, well, "we're exchanging ideas that both of us can very well understand and it's the problem of the rest if they can keep up or not", then i see no reason why you can't use istorya's private messaging feature for such lengthy debates.

Just my observation, and you don't need to argue/debate with me on this point hehe. If you wish to continue it, by all means, please go on.

@The_Child

Ok for the sake of your ego...I will throw the towel if that pleases you. Now please be simple and as clear as possible about the topic okay? Lets cut the BS first about postmodern/classical philosophy as we are not doing justice to the readers. Besides I don't see the point bringing them up here so please be direct with your answers (avoid off topic discussions) kay nireklamo na si rodsky

1) If you're saying that the issue is about ethics (as an alternative proposal) whose ethics is it?
2) Do you think that anybody's ethics would stop the whale-hunters in slaughtering the whales?

Probs is...I think we're not on the same page. Kana lang sa...and please stick with those questions and please be straightforward. Okay?

Cheers!

forgive my ignorance...and...my laziness to click a few pages back.

whats going on here? trying to solve the root cause of man's instinct to kill and survive?

If cannibals eat humans, it's their culture, it's their tradition. So be it. Specieshismsmsms! Oy vey!

@rodsky: tumpak! pakpak ko nimo ani, the "common man" gets a splitting headache when he has to read a post that takes up a whole page. The_Child and brownprose are giving me mental indigestion.

I am against commercial whaling, but not against the continuation of culture and tradition of some Arctic people, because these traditions partly arose from economic needs (at least in the past, this was an important food source for them, continuing to this day). Besides, there's almost nothing to hunt there that's not endangered. People from more resource-rich areas should refrain from consuming those endangered species though.

I would not like to condone cannibalism though. I won't be philosophical about it and we don't need to create new terms on why. It is enough to say that there's a big difference between what you serve on the table and that YOU yourself become a meal for someone else. Di ko anang cannibalism oi, bahala na ug culture & tradition na, ako pa lang hinuon ihawon. Besides, cannibalism is the most likely cause of kuru (a disease similar to mad cow disease).

Hope if you want to discuss your philosophy, pls adto na lang siguro sa laing thread? Unless any of you are vegans or believers of Jainism, we all have our different reasons on why we would like to save this animal rather than that other animal. We don't need any profound philosophy to convince other people. Mas cute man gyud ang dolphins, polar bears, pandas, etc. Puwede na na nga reason for the common people

@wng, wala ko'y philosophy oi, I was just trying to be pilosopo. My dream is to one day master the art of sarcasm like our Jedi rodsky here who practices it with great finesse.

I want to save the dolphins too. They're cute. I wouldn't save alligators or crocs though, they scare the shiznit out of me. Ang analogy ani is: if Piolo Pascual and Long Mejia were drowning, I'd drown Long Mejia some more if it means I could get to fafa Piolo faster. Looks matter, people!

Oop, sorry. I was talking about the philosophy that brownprose and The_Child had been discussing.

[rodsky]

Yes, that's true. Hapit na ta maigo ug asteroid, to be specific end of the year, sa 2012. Mao na'y giingon sa ancient Mayan prophecies, hasta ni Nostradamus. Nakit-an nako sa history channel. LOL

Now forgive me lol, but I don't really know if you're being sarcastic (mocking my post) or serious, reason being, there are indeed some "serious" people out there who really believe in all this 2012 crap.

The only confirmed threat (and a very low threat at that) is Apophis (formerly MN4), which is not to arrive within earth's orbit til April 2029, and 2036.

it's all about A FOOD CHAIN? or whatever...wawa naman ang mga dolphins...i just hope they breed 2 dolphins b4 killing one...much like a tree planting scenario and i bet European and japan practice that...is just so happen that the killing was caught on tape that certainly pump our adrenalin of disgust or sort of...
