Humans are fucked.

It's not the opinion that's the problem (that's it's own problem). It's the fact that it barely qualifies as English that I find hard to look at, and it fails at giving you any idea what it means on it's own. Even adding "up" to the end would increase the eloquence ten fold.

My bad Ghengis I totally misinterpreted what you were saying. I agree.

Language is mutable and changes with the times.

Using the dictionary definition of holocaust in reference to defending it's use with regards to animals is willful ignorance of how the language has changed and what it implies, in a tongue in cheek way. Shouldn't be done when talking about the mass slaughter of people based on their ethnicity.

Stay Classy.

I agree with your point Idle, I guess I was attempting to go for the humorist approach to this argument and my point obviously got misconstrued. I am curious though, do you believe that because of a period of 5 years the use of the word Holocaust has changed to become exclusive to human genocide?

5 years and millions dead, plus the subsequent creation of Israel, emphasis on the event in history, literature, art and culture that stays with us to this day?

Yes, I'd say given that it IS exclusive to human genocide.

I only give a damn about animals which are cute anyways- again, I'm a fucking APEX PREDATOR.

Here's my response to videos such as this:

At least when we eat beef we're doing the humane thing and killing the cow first. You're eating that apple alive.
