Pain as main veto? Are you just deciding to selectively ignore the whole
consciousness part of what I said? Animals aren't an exception. That was my entire point about the entire lobster holocaust example. Christ..

Telling/forcing someone how to behave, if their behaviour threatens another person, is an acceptable part of society. We established that a long, long time ago. Are you against coercion altogether, then?
We don't need bullshit organised religion to be moral. We don't have to adopt Christian values, all we need are humanist values. We especially don't have to adopt the backwards bullshit Christian values - Take for example that whole Africa aids condom fiasco. There's parts of Christianity that are yet to modernise, much like Islam. Luckily the majority of your generation disagree with you are are abandoning this sort of narrow-minded crap.

Lol, Milo says a lot of stupid stuff to ingratiate himself with Republicans. He's a self-interested lil' rat, like Littlefinger. So what?
