Dem.Undgrnd Supports Animal Slavery = People Slavery

     In a stunningly moronic display of moral equivalency the Democratic Underground Lefties can't even agree that human slavery is worse than eating animals! I wish I was making this up but here is a little quotey quote for you:

Just so, humans who define themselves by religion or culture or nationality or skin color think that their suffering can never be compared, no matter how factually, with any other human or animal's suffering. To do so makes them feel belittled, reduced. But perhaps that's just our primitive biology crying out to protect and save our own kind, the more narrowly defined the better, and the rest be damned. I reject that. Or I try to. Only supremacism makes us think that "our kind," our narrow view of ourselves as Protestants, Muslims, white, black, a woman, a man, a human being, is more important than the rest. But a broader definition of ourselves is simply that we are all animals.

     Note that this yahoo actually equates rascism with feeling superior to animals here. I thought that surely there would be a large backlash of common sense from the rest of the DU feverswampers but not to be... Many of them agreed with the poster and PETA that using animals for anything is morally equivalent to enslaving human beings and none of them could really bring themselves to condemn it (well excpet a few Freepers who lurk there to piss off the DU).

One more quotage:

If it offends people so greatly to be compared to other sentient beings who feel pain and suffer just as humans do... well, I think they are getting right to the heart of the matter.

Knock knock puddinheads... this is why you keep losing...
