I think you were over the top and self righteous and that's all I need to say about it.

So much easier to attack the messenger than to refute an argument.

I will ask you one last time: what is your argument? Until you answer this, you have no argument.

If you can't find it in my comments in this thread I can't help you.

You had sent it only after I sent my bolded request. You also know that I now have your three questions, since I answered #3.

Note that three questions are not an argument. They're the closest thing you have provided to an argument, so we've been working with them. They seem to boil down to "it's cute, so how could you possibly eat it?"

As you've seen, our answers vary. However it doesn't feel like an argument -- it feels like you've been manipulated and you want to manipulate us accordingly.

I have cats. I know what cute means. Cute means "I'd eat you if I were slightly bigger". Cute is a trick. It's a plot by Whitey. It's how you get away with murder.

Oh, and goats are absolutely delicious. Once you've seen them eat everything in their path, you can hardly wait to slow-cook one.
