What, that bonehead Ron Hamilton's sh.t is virtually always false?  No,
I won't prove it.  You just need to take my word for it.

   Animals experience disappointment Goo. Almost any
child with a dog could tell you about it. It doesn't mean
that all animals can, but it does mean some of them
can. Sad you're not able to understand that.

   One absurd "reason" you feel that life isn't worthy
of consideration for any animals, is because you don't
feel that they are capable of experiencing positive
emotions to the degree that their lives could be worthy
of consideration. But even though your prize argument
--that imaginary nonexistent entities can not benefit--is
true, there is much evidence that humans are capable
of experiencing positive emotions to the degree that
their lives are a benefit to them. And Goobernad, even
though you can't understand it, the same is true for
some animals too.

No, they don't.  Tell your mangy mutt dog you're going
to take him for a walk, then sit on your pimply redneck
a.s eating pork cracklins all afternoon instead and
don't take him for the walk.  He will not be disappointed.

The writings of Charles Darwin on the web
by John van Wyhe Ph.D.
[...]
I formerly possessed a large dog, who, like every other dog, was much
pleased to go out walking. He showed his pleasure by trotting gravely
before me with high steps, head much raised, moderately erected ears,
and tail carried aloft but not stiffly. Not far from my house a path branches
off to the right, leading to the hot-house, which I used often to visit for a
few moments, to look at my experimental plants. This was always a great
disappointment to the dog, as he did not know whether I should continue
my walk; and the instantaneous and complete change of expression which
came over him as soon as my body swerved in the least towards the path
(and I sometimes tried this as an experiment) was laughable. His look of
dejection was known to every member of the family, and was called his
hot-house face. This consisted in the head drooping much, the whole body
sinking a little and remaining motionless; the ears and tail falling suddenly
down, but the tail was by no means wagged. With the falling of the ears and
of his great chaps, the eyes became much changed in appearance, and I
fancied that they looked less bright. His aspect was that of piteous, hopeless
dejection; and it was, as I have said, laughable, as the cause was so slight.

Definitely true of parrots.  Billy, my Severe Macaw makes a disappointed
vocal when he wants to come out to play and I have to walk away without him.
It's not a scream for attention; it's a quick, low vocalization of
disappointment without doubt.

Bullshit.  You are projecting.  It's called
anthropomorphization:  the projection of human
characteristics onto non-human things.

   LOL!!! For one thing Goo, you are the LAST person who
could possibly have a clue about something like that, because
you can't even comprehend such things. As you say, facts
like that are bullshit to you--completely beyond your ability to
comprehend--yet they are quite obvious to many people. But
the funniest part is: you are the one who thinks a fantasy about
a talking pig who knows he's going to be killed and made into
ham and sausages, somehow discredits the fact that many farm
animals benefit from farming. Hilarious! You "ARAs" are a hoot,
I'll say that about you.

   Some animals experience disappointment, and you are
too stupid to realise it. Recognition of the fact is not
anthropomorphism. This fantasy however, is:

"it were unseemly for me, who am to-day a pig, and to-morrow
but ham and sausages, to dispute with a master of ethics, yet
to my porcine intellect..."

I should have been keeping a list of your lies that I have
exposed over the years. It would be huge. Here again I'll
expose you as a liar, with this example of me pointing out
that your "AR" fantasy is an incredible example of
anthropomorphism:

about reality.

Yes, we have, GooberFuckwit.  First of all,

YOU, and you alone, are the only goober.  Stop
misapplying that term to others.  It applies only to you.

that your beliefs about animals are purely your
projection of your emotions onto animals.  That is
called anthropomorphization, and it is philosophically
wrong.

because you don't have a clue which emotions they are

You've got to be kidding me!!  Seriously, I am very disappointed that
this discussion is even happening!  WTF!

Let's start with definition:
dis·ap·point

  1. To fail to satisfy the hope, desire, or expectation of.

Rudy, are you saying animals have no hopes or desires?  Or are you
saying their hopes and desires are always satisfied?

Here's another one for you, have you ever admitted to an error?  You
should try it every day, it makes you a better person.

You IDIOT!  That's what someone can do TO another.  It
is an ACTIVE verb:  you disappoint me.

TO BE disappointed is passive.  The disappointed one
doesn't DO anything.  You've given an active verb to
try to support an overly sentimental,
anthropomorphizing view that animals can PASSIVELY be
disappointed.

You f.cking moron.

For starters, animals do not have "hopes".  They have
primitive desires and expectations, but they are not
"disappointed" when they are not satisfied.

> Rudy, are you saying animals have no hopes or desires?

They absolutely do not have hopes.  They have primitive
desires, and when the desires aren't met, the animals
do not mope the way humans might.

   You are dealing with a moron who "thinks" he's a genius. Since he
believes he knows everything, and has believed it since grade school,
he has learned very little if anything about reality since then. Don't forget
that you're dealing with someone who thinks a fantasy about a talking
pig which was written by one of his fellow "ARAs", somehow refutes the
fact that some farm animals benefit from farming. And this same stupid
moron believes that a fantasy about a talking is of some great value,
but calls recognition of emotions in animals anthropomorphic.

>Let's start with definition:
>dis·ap·point
[quoted text clipped - 3 lines]
>Rudy, are you saying animals have no hopes or desires?  Or are you

   He is desperately trying to prevent people from recognizing that
some farm animals benefit from farming, and will tell any lie he thinks
will help with that.

>Here's another one for you, have you ever admitted to an error?  

   He is dedicated to his cause, and that dedication doesn't allow for
admition of lies or errors.

>You

   He is an "ARA" pretending pitifully to be an "AR" opponent, trying
to use the example of his character to portray true "AR" opponents
as stupid, childish, above all dishonest, inconsiderate of humans and
other animals, etc, so the last thing Goo wants to do is portray himself
as a better person.

   It's not too surprising, though I had wondered if birds experience it.
I never saw chickens show signs of it, but when something is taken
from them that they like, the hens have ways of showing they are
feeling the loss. I made a reply to the Gonad (sometimes posting
as Rudy Canoza) which is a quote from Darwin regarding his dog
expessing disappoinment. You might find the page of some interest:

http://pages.britishlibrary.net/charles.darwin3/expression/expression02.htm

Darwin also explained his belief that emotions evolved as life itself
did, and my impression is that he feels some animals are capable
of more than others, which is almost certainly how it is. I read it a
few years ago, and didn't save any of the quotes or mark the
location, and haven't been able to find it. Gonad, if your reading this
do something useful and hunt it up, along with your superior term
for "experiencing life".

It's irrelevant. Farming an animal for food disqualifies you
from claiming a moral bonus from the fact that the animal
"experiences life". You don't get to kill and eat them and
also feel smug that you 'allowed them the privilege of life'.
This kind of "double-dipping" is intuitively distateful to anyone
with a moral compass, something you evidently lack.

   I can feel good that animals get to experience a decent
life because humans raise them for food. Even the cls.

   So do you apparently, because you think you get a moral
bonus for being beyond inconsiderate, to the point that
you OPPOSE consideration of what the billions of animals
get out of the arrangement. And you do it for the purely
selfish reason that it disturbs you that people raise animals
for food.

You can feel better that they experience a decent life
rather than a shitty life, but you may not legitimately
feel better that they experienced life rather than
never living.

Oh yeah, I know, I'm a laugh a minute...

You are not entititled to any moral credit because the animals
you eat "experienced life." I don't understand why you think
you even need it. What does it do for you, pretending that this
moral credit exists?

Because when the "vegans" criticize him, it stings him for some reason.
He is incapable of seeing the real flaw in their argument, so instead,
he gets defensive, then tries to turn their criticism back at them.  He
fails, of course.

Goober Canoza must have been looking in a mirror while writing that

When he realizes what he's done he'll throw a fit and go catatonic for

Your question doesn't make any sense.

Fuckwit, I'm getting tired of reminding you:  YOU are the only goober
here.  Stop making this mistake.  "Goober" refers to a dimwitted
southern redneck:  YOU, in other words.  Stop using your mother's pet
name for you on other people.

There are several serious flaws, and I have correctly identified them.
You have not.  You have come up with a goofy idea because you feel the

I'm not the one claiming I do. When I attack your position you criticize me
for
not "considering the animals". That implies that you DO consider them in
some
unselfish way. That is a lie, your "consideration" is nothing more than a
belief
that the fact that we indirectly cause animals to be born bestows a kind a
moral
credit onto meat consumers. That belief (called "the logic of the larder")
is a mistake.

You are the only person I know for a fact has gotten more stupid over the

though, so I can still understand that the method of husbandry determines

You do not "consider the animals" in some selfless way, Fuckwit.  What
a joke.  You are desperately trying to foster the illusion that you do,
but your "consideration" is entirely self-serving.  No one is fooled.

non sequitur - utterly non responsive to what Dutch wrote.

No animals "benefit" from coming into existence, Fuckwit.  This is
established as fact.

STOP pretending that you give some selfless consideration to "the farm
animals", Fuckwit.  You do not, and everyone knows you do not.
Everyone knows that all you are doing is trying to foster the illusion
that you do; that what you actually are doing is clumsily trying to
justify your killing of animals.

YOU are the only person who has gotten more stupid, Fuckwit.  It begins
with your adoption of a discredited philosophy, the Illogic of the
Larder, and it extends to your labeling established opponents of "ar"
as "aras".

Irrelevant.  YOU stop pretending that you do.  You do not.  Your
pretense is a joke, and fools no one.  You are merely considering
yourself, and for obvious reasons you need to dress it up as
consideration for animals.  Stop it.

Primitive emotions:  fear, aggression, anger.  They do
NOT experience disappointment, dashed hope, envy,
Schadenfreude, exultance, pride.  Humans *project*
those emotions onto animals, because those are the
emotions humans might feel if they had been in some
situation in which they see animals.

   What do you think prevents them from experiencing
simple things like that Goo? As yet we have no reason
to believe they can't experience pride just as well as anger,
or envy, or fear. So it is up to YOU to explain what causes
the limitation, or we will have proof once again you don't
have the slightest clue what you're trying to discuss.

I suspect the same thing that keeps them from doing differential
calculus or studying philosophy, Fuckwit:  the lack of human capacity.

Yes, we have ample reason to believe they can't experience pride,
Fuckwit - they give no evidence of it.  I think you also can't
experience it, Fuckwit, because you have nothing in your life of which
to be proud.

So any human can do those things?  I know some people who can't even
take simple derivatives, is that due to lack of human capacity?

Perhaps you have never experienced pride if you cannot recognize it in
others.

A mother is proud of her offspring, proud of her abilitiy to care for
them.  A young hunter is proud of its first kill.  A male is proud of
his sexual prowess.  A lion is proud of its pride (duh).
A pet is proud when it pleases its master.  Some pets are proud to have
escaped their masters.

I'm proud of you for recogninzing that "pride" refers to an emotional
behavior observed in animals.

Non human animal mothers are not.  Their only connection to their

Non human hunting animals are not.

Not something to be proud of, but whatever.  Non human males are not
proud of it; they just do it.

No.

No.

No.

Those last three were pure projection; pure anthropomorphism.  Pure
nonsense, too.

   You're just too stupid to recognize anything else Goo. There are
lots of other connections. Even birds teach things to their young.
You are so out of touch you don't have any clue at all what the
hell you're trying to discuss. Pride is no harder to experience than
anger, but for some stupid retarded reason you believe it is. That
is only one of many examples of how stupid you are Goober. You
are a moronic clown who "thinks" he's a genius. Your only humor
is in your own stupidity, which is often pathetic but hilarious. In this
particular case so far it's just  pathetic, because you're not able to
think enough about it to explain what what you believe restricts all
nonhuman animals from experiencing simple basic emotions.

   Some of them give plenty of evidence of it. You're just too ignorant
to know it, and would be too stupid to recognize it if you saw it. That
doesn't mean they're not capable of it, just that you're not capable of
recognizing it. But you have never been in a situation where you could
recognize it anyway, most likely. So, you have never been in a situation
where an animal displayed pride, and if you ever were to be in one you
would be unable to recognize it, but still hilariously you are insisting that
they aren't capable of it. Not any of them! Gonad, you are a retard.

and the number one result is me defining you:

Animals cannot be disappointed.
