As beef goes off the menu in much of India, Kolkata can’t seem to do without it

Sleep well.
Maybe a good night's rest will change you arrogance.
But I have little hope for you.

Thanks Drake.

Well I do not equate humans with cows.
I do not think that other animals are inferior than humans, I actually think humans are inferior.
The difference between humans and animals is the amount of awareness that humans possess.
This is often seen as a sign of intelligence, as a boon.
But when you think about it, it is actually a curse.
Animals act according to the natural order of life.
This makes it able for nature to keep its balance.
Humans on the other hand, have broken away from this natural order (because of their awareness).
But by breaking away from this order, they have succeeded in destroying the natural order for other animals.
This makes awareness and the humans who possess it a curse (for the world).
If humans were really intelligent and superior, than they would have (chosen to) adhere to the natural order of life, since that is the only order which brings balance in the world.

It does not matter if Humans are superior or inferior to other animals.

I was only looking for consistency in your argument since humans are animals.

So why do you have two standards?

What do you propose that humans need to do to keep the balance? Stop inventing medicines which prolong the life expectancy? Stop cultivating more land to avoid food shortages?

I have a problem with people eating their own, because one of the (natural) goals in life is reproduction in order to achieve self preservation.
If people would eat their own kind, this would (in general) have a negative effect on the survival of the community as a whole.
(It is also weird and disgusting, but I think you will say that those arguments are too subjective)

Now you are contradicting yourself again. By your own words, Humans are probably the only animals whose population is growing at an exponential pace as they not adhering to the natural order due to their intelligence.

Then Humans should be the first animal that Humans should be eating. We need to preserve other animals from going extinct. With regards to the survival as a community, we can have laws that may prohibit eating someone from your own community. Even cannibals never ate people from their own tribe or group. That was the natural order. The precedence was already there.

Maybe we can make a beginning by first killing and eating who are convicted and are in jail. This not only saves other animals going extinct but it would save money to the government in feeding these convicts for the rest of their lives.

Well like I said above, it is all about self preservation (and survival).
In the past humans have made sure that many animals became extinct (because of the awareness curse).
Those mistakes cannot be repeated.
Endangered species should therefore be protected.

Many animals or species go extinct every minute with no fault of humans. Again Humans eating Humans would go a long way in remediating faults committed by humans in the past to cause other animals go extinct.

Well this has more to do with the 'cuddliness' of some animals.
The more cuddlier an animal is, the more I find it sad for such animal to die.
It has also to do with the fact that they are 'children'.
Just like many people find it worse that children die in (for example) a war than adults, in the same way I find it worse for baby animals to die than animals which are seen as 'adults'.

We can solve this by eating convicted adult humans only. The juveniles can only be eaten once they attain adulthood.

We can also prioritize in eating ugly looking people first as they are not "cuddly".

Do not entertain me with your Parsi 'humor'.
Stick to what you do good: acting like a snake.

I do not know this Netherdrake, did you just made this up?
Trying to be funny again, are we?

You don't need to ask 'waz' for help, snakes should be able to bite their enemies.

I am a Hindu.
I do not eat beef.
I do this out of respect for my parents as this is how they raised me.
I do not believe in worshipping cows, but I do respect animals in general.
I do not have a problem with other people eating cows or any other animal.
(well except for humans, endangered species and puppies).
I do believe this article was merely written to spite and implicitly condemn Hindus, which says more about the character of the writer than of those to which his words are directed to.

This is nothing what hindus face in pakistan.

I know. I have read about stories of harassment, murder and forced conversions of Hindus in Pakistan.

 

[SuvarnaTeja]

never heard about them much sir

They were your neighboring states in India until 1971

Soft Sanghi mumbojumbo.

This guy is a propped up shill for the Sangh.

Now cows are crying. First it was only peacocks.

He is invited by United nation, Harvard, Top B schools, Top Medical association etc and all who wants to have a rational and intellectual debate. However, stupid people have the capability to extract the meaning from anything which they wants. They always have a privilege because what they just have to do is abuse someone or tell them sandhi or anything. They are not required to discuss any issue or build a rational argument.

Please man. I have no time for these dime a dozen babas and maa's of India.

We have Ahura Mazda. And Zarathushtra was his Prophet. And the holy Atash his Puthrao.

That's all I need to know and follow in life.

The guys who run after these babas (who crawl out of every nukkad and galli) are the ones who do not have a strong mooring and faith and rudder in life. No offense.

No good deed goes unrewarded.

The guys who brought your faith to this land always enjoyed a good t-bone steak.

The sacrificial bull was held in the greatest esteem.

Just saw this post.

Which "guy" was that ? the one who brought Hinduism to this land ?

Vedic Hindus. The guys who branched off from ancient Aryan Persians and came to India.

They ate beef. Do not even TRY to spin tales around that.

For greater detail please refer my more recent reply to you on your flowing river theory. And us not wanting or needing to flow along.

RUBBISH.

There is no evidence that they ate beef.

There is evidence of Bull sacrifice during a Few specific yagna and the meat was passed around as sacred Prasad. It was a rare thing.

It was also mentioned in the same Vedi hindus manual that those who eat meat regularly is a Asura.

The vaste literature of the Vedas actually give specific instructions to PROTECT The cow and worship the cow.

You have recently lost credibility with the khada Parsi stunt. I used to take your posts on Hinduism as gospel till then. But as a Parsi the absolute absurdity of your claim made me actually read up and call out your sliminess.

Beef is an important ingredient of Ayurveda.

And I do believe you are pushing later texts through as Vedas. Without challenge because the present company and the vast majority of Hindus (and Muslims and Christians) are really clueless to question you.

My two cents.

Jinnah was supported by the parsi population in Mumbai. They funded him and voted for him. That is why he stood in Byculla district.

Beef is hardly used in Ayurveda. 99.9% of Ayurvedic medicines are plant and mineral based.

It's not my problem if the vaste majority of Hindus or muslims or christians or parsis are clueless to question me. They can get educated like I did and question me.

Ignorance or laziness or stupidity is not an excuse, even for a parsi who had everything given to him on a platter.
