you're welcome sugarcube, How's your day been so far? I've slept late now I'm eating a tasty salad :3

Smells like sour grapes to me.

More like smells like rotting animals (he likes to hunt animals)

No offense

i'm mildly jealous of you for that fact (only mildly though )

O, totally. I'm soooooo jealous of the "beautiful" people here and the comments given to each and every "beautiful" person; I wish I could be so shallow, no really, I totally do.



The only rotting animals I smell are the ones on the road. But hey, they feed the ants and birds, so all is well.

How was your last meal that contained meat (and hey, if you're a vegetarian, plants are alive all the same too)?

^^^^

Plants aren't sentient, never have been never will be unless some crazy scientist gets some crazy ideas .

Plants have to be eaten for survival (unlike animals)



Case closed !

If you were getting positive attention you wouldn't be coming out with any of that sarcasm.

You are quite obviously jealous otherwise you wouldn't be whinging about it on here. If you really didn't care you would not even bother to respond as it would mean nothing to you - wouldn't even register. Yet you felt the need to moan on here because you aren't getting any compliments and it bugs you. Would it bug you if people told you that you looked nice? And there is nothing shallow about looking nice or telling someone they look nice. It's all essentially just part of a primal instinct we have in order to mate, but I don't suppose you'd know much about that.

Heard that argument before, and it's wrong (it's philosophy, not science). Plants respond to external stimuli. Set them in fire and they die; what does that sound like? Sentient is that lovely thing that means you feel pleasure or pain (two nice little goal posts); plants have been shown to respond to both, even if they don't "feel" it by communicating it. Give them water and they grow, don't give them water and they die; you feel pleasure when you eat food, you feel pain when you starve, and the only reason people know you feel this is because you can communicate it (I like to think dying is a pretty good form of communication though).

Thought experiment: if a severely autistic child doesn't respond to pain at all and doesn't show outward pleasure, does this mean he or she isn't sentient?

Don't you love philosophy?

If there's no plants around (that contain the required amount of nutrients), you won't survive on just them alone. It's rare to find them all in a similar location in the wild.

rabbitears,

You mistake my mockery for all things stupid as jealousy. I care, as you said, and I care because it's stupid. O, I know all about why people find "beauty" appealing; this doesn't mean it's utterly stupid. My club is the biggest!

^^^^

plants don't have a nervous system, a "response" is not pain .

Rabbit everyone is jealous of your beauty except my husband Fudo.

Technically, in comparison animals and what we call a nervous system. But they do indeed wish to live, and they show it in their actions (heaps of studies done there that proves it). They're no less alive than anything else just because we can't pickup a nerve impulse if they're harmed. O, and a "response" is indeed showing that something is feeling "pain". How would you know that a nonverbal autistic child is feeling pain if all they do is respond? O, electrical impulses.... That's just how we work.

A nervous system as humans define it isn't criteria for life. The criteria for life is life itself, and if something actively goes out of its way to live (plants do it. Funnily, not all humans do it), then it's truly "alive" (philosophically).

(I'd like to say that any animal I have ever killed felt no pain. That's what an ethical hunter does.)

^^^^

I guess I have to take your word for it I'll keep it mind next time I tuck in to a French fry .

Poor potato.

Actually, no, it's food to us, just as sunlight and water is food to it.

I'm on the fence on whether I'd call sunlight and water alive though (lots of microbes in water...). Though in the end, it's semantics. Everything in the universe is made of the same matter, and how said matter is organized defines what whatever it is is. It dies, it goes back into the universe, perhaps not in the same amount as before, but it still goes back to create new life. The cycle of it all.

Then matter runs out.

Then no one cares.

Sorry for interrupting the beauty pageant, people (actually, I'm not).

I see no pictures posted on this here page!
I shall fix this!

Pointlessness accomplished. Day complete.
