Animals of other species aren't humansl

That is something of a non-sequitur.

So I am entitled to my beliefs that I can eat non white people?

[floo]

People of other colours aren't Caucasians. does this mean I can kill and eat them?

Don't be silly, Humans of all colours and creeds are the same species!

And? Animals of all shapes and species are the same kingdom!

Do you eat meat and wear leather shoes?

And the tu quoque fallacy gets a ride out.

I asked you a question which you haven't answered. If you eat animals of other species, but not the human animal then I have no idea what you are lambasting me for, as I consider animals of other species below humans in the pecking order. I must admit I find many of your posts rather hard to understand, maybe  my intellect isn't comparable with yours.

Your question is irrelevant to whether your reasoning is sound because it is an example of the tu quoque fallacy.

I am quite well aware of what your favourite term 'tu quoque' means, but I don't see things in your pedantic fashion, and aren't likely to.  So I think we should leave there!

If you are aware of it, why commit the fallacy then?

[Nearly Sane]

I am not aware of committing any fallacy, but you could be. But that is my last word to you on this topic, so lay it to rest, and give your typing fingers a rest.

That shows that you don't understand the tu quoque then

You enjoy making life unpleasant for some posters NS, when you know perfectly well what they mean even if you don't agree. Your attitude inhibits flow of conversation.

Sorry, I disagree, I think bad thinking  should be challenged.

Wouldn't tattoos be more acceptable if they gradually disappeared over a number of years say seven years?

They could be reinstated for those that like them, it's their permanence that puts me off of them, doesn't removal involve some scaring?

A good idea ippy. Some people who thought they were a good idea at the time may well regret having them when they get older and wiser.

I think so too,a temporary tattoo is like semi-permanent makeup and will eventually fade leaving no scar. Like some cultures who use henna and other natural dye on their bodies for example a bride before she is are married. The women do it. They look decorative if you like that sort of thing but they don't last.

I would guess Sriram would be familiar with that stuff and be able to bring us up to speed on the subject, come on Sriram you're needed here, get posting.

That's exactly what happned to my old man.

[Robbie]

Did he have the tattoos removed Ad_o or was it just one that could be hidden under clothes?
I remember a fashion for women to have a little tattoo on the back of one shoulder about 25 years ago, glad I wasn't tempted.
Now it's fashionable for people have them all over - even on their feet. I can't pretend to understand it but still it's up to the individual.

My father had a tattoo of a union jack on his left wrist and he would rather have not had it too.

He had them on his arms, chest and back. No, he never had them removed. He would never gave afforded it anyway.
