    Yeah, try that one in court. No your honor, i didn’t pay for the murder, i paid for someone who paid for someone to commit the murder. I’m obviously innocent!

    It’s a plain stupid argument to try and make, and it makes no sense. And i’m not even vegan, i just recognize that yes, a part of the money i pay for meat goes to who kills it, so i pay for someone to kill animals for me so i can eat them. That’s how the world works, and denying that is just ridiculous.

      your analogy doesn’t reflect the reality at all. a more apt analogy would be that someone paid to have their grandfather murdered, and later had an estate sale. at that estate sale, if i buy a watch, am i responsible for murder? no.

      i would be innocent. i had nothing to do with any of their decisions, and only much later did i pay anyone, but not the people responsible.

      it’s obvious you can’t suss it out, but the rest of us have had a pretty good conversation about it til you showed up.

      no, it doesn’t. that person was already paid.
