Marijuana comes from a plant and thus was a conscious being? I don't know if I should take you seriously, Jacob. The most stupid argument I have ever heard that attempts to villify vegetarians is that "plants have feelings, too." If you're going to declare something, you're going to need something to back it up. Using your logic:

Cornelius: We shouldn't visit the moon because we will squash the invisible unicorns living there!

Penelope: But there are no invisible unicorns on the moon!

Cornelius: But nobody knows for certain...

The burden of proof remains with you. Take a class in biology before you claim that plants have feelings.
Have any substantial evidence that suggests there is no such thing as invisible Unicorns?

I was basically saying that before veggies have a go at meateaters and vice versa to take into consideration that everything we eat, smoke, drink etc will have come from a living thing. And it is not absurd to believe that all living things have feelings...and thus, whatever we eat, drink, smoke etc we will be having something killed.
