Did you really just try to reframe the trolley problem with lambs and rosebushes?
So it's not an either or. I choose to drive my large heavy vehicles in a very safe and reasonable manner to maximize my chances to avoid running into herds of sheep or other livestock. If I had to choose between livestock and smashing my bumper on a pole, I would choose avoid the livestock of course. If they were headed to market tomorrow, it'd be the same 100%.
My children all eat veal and lamb but love roses too and are fairly ambivalent about poles and bumpers. They are not confused by any of this. If I read them your arguments and explained your beliefs, they would also know instantly that you have lead a very sheltered life and would feel a little sorry for you. It isn't really that hard to understand right and wrong.

Well I'm not trying to convince you because you are clearly delusional. I'm pointing out to other, rational, people the gaping flaws in your arguments. I feel that wide-eyed idealistic activists are over-represented in these comments and I'm trying to ensure that nobody forgets that most people don't agree with these positions.
- myshpa 4y agoJust diatribes ... have a nice life.
- fargle 4y agoOh, well I don't mind at all responding to your diatribes, whether I believe they are specious and misguided or not. I see it as a useful way to expand peoples viewpoints. I have had a lovely life so far and plan on continuing to do so for a long time. I wish you the same, I hope that stressing out over every other person's morality and the multi-generational future of human race does not continue to cause you undue stress.
