Brumar89 : >> Normal humans accord human life a moral value higher than that of other species. Its why one is allowed to kill animals for food. But doing so to other people is a greivous sin and a crime. This is something that has to be explained to liberals.<, Koan: "What you say above, is well understood by us "liberals". We just have a different opinion. We address the above in a slightly more complex manner. First the most evolved of us do not kill animals for food. Or confine their killing to the least intelligent of animals i.e. seafood. They are called vegetarians. I am not one, but I do consider vegetarians to be above me with reagard to living a more moral life. We liberals do everything we can to see animals are treated humanly, even the ones we use for food. Some day, when we are more evolved as a species we will probably stop using animlas for food altogether. With regard to abortion, which is I am sure, what your post alludes too, we "liberals" view it as a dilemma. We do not like abortion, but we feel even more strongly the woman should have the right to make decisions regarding her own body. It is an existential decision, but as only liberals usually live in an existential world, conservatives have no idea what we are talking about. So in fact, we understand your world very clearly and we have rejected it. You on the other hand, have no understanding of our world, but just reject it out of hand, without understanding it.
