Sorry to tell you, man, but buying products with meat in them is contributing to the death of those animals, which is just as bad as doing it yourself. The only difference from doing it yourself is, you have taken yourself away from the situation directly, but you still support it indirectly.
I can see your point, and I understand how by supporting the slaughter of animals I am...well, supporting the killing of animals. However, I support the idea of having a police force, but that doesn't mean I want to enforce the law upon people. I also use paper to write on, doesn't mean I enjoy felling trees. I'm as much a killer as I am a police officer and a lumberjack, no matter how much I use and encourage* the industry.

*That's not direct encouragement, obviously, I don't go around shouting "Slaughter animals in cruel ways".

That is a very twisted view of Karma... Is murder not wrong when it is committed by someone who does not believe it is wrong?
I have been told I have a very twisted soul.

And as for 'is it wrong', then it depends who you ask. Most people you ask would say 'yes, murder is wrong'. Some people might be able to sympathise with the murderer if they knew the full story, but very few people think murder is alright. Which is why it is illegal (I hope).

Oh, and also an apology to Max. I would be perfectly happy to have a civilised conversation with you about the subject. Maybe some other time...
I'm honoured. Thank you very much.
