How on earth can you respect people's opinions in their entirety, which is how you make it sound, anyway. Sorry if I was wrong, maybe I didn't interpret your statement correctly.

I think some people have perfectly wicked opinions, and I can't respect that. Debating can be pretty useless, tho, can't it. But if it stops the buildup of pressure in a person, well, let's do it.

Animals feel pain & suffering just as we do, and they value their lives as much as we value ours.
