Just ignore Shootem when he says stuff like that, he's actually pretty smart, but his wankerness can get in the way sometimes.
How do you accept the world the way it is? By accepting it, which doesn't equate to saying its okay.

I think there is no "should" as far as the state of the world is concerned. Things simply are the way they are, there is no "predestined" path that has somehow been diverged from.
So, if people have the means and desire to make others suffer, I see nothing wrong with them acting upon it.
That makes things interesting/amusing.

Threadstarter just sent me a feelings-filled PM, just in case anyone was still trying to get a sense of what kind of person he is.

I was kidding.
And I don't think it's ethical to kill 'bad' people either, I just don't care about them. Intellectually I know that I should feel empathy for everyone but, emotionally, I feel that people who harm the innocent without just cause deserve to be punished.
All views are not legitimate. Moral relativism is self-refuting since consistent relativists have to accept the view that relativism is wrong as legitimate as well. Happiness and suffering are the universal standards that can be used to determine the rightness or wrongness of all decisions. Factory farming is wrong because it causes unnecessary suffering, whether or not some people think that the suffering of chickens is acceptable makes no difference. These people can't logically argue that their suffering is dis-valuable but the same feeling is acceptable when other beings experience it.

Thank you for enlightening us threadstarter. The universe is clearly a much simpler place than any of us ever imagined.

Whateva
whur dis come from?
Actually we do not...and lemme tell u why....Moral relativism is not a"view" but is mo like a logical deduction from the evident fact that we liive in a materialistic world (made up of matter, atoms n all dat shiit) because we live in a physical world and there is no typa evidence for any type of god that dictates morality the logical deduction wuld be that "morals", "good" and "evil" are all things that have been used to describe and give meaning to an otherwise "meaningless world"..
Thats not true...because some actions may harm and bring suffering to some and make others very rich and happy....You can say factory farming is wrong because it causes sufering to chickens but in reality chickens do not have the same type of brain as us (assuming you also have one)...they do not have a consiousness like that of a sentient being.....They do not sit and think "wow this rlly sucks..wish i could go home" because they lack the hardware to do so...
Ya blinded by ya emotions fam....that aint good

I think you're confusing moral nihilism with the moral relativism that I'm talking about (and, contrary to popular belief, materialism does not justify nihilism). If happiness and suffering have inherent value/dis-value, then the value/dis-value of happiness/suffering has nothing to do with the identity of the being who experiences it. It is wrong to circumcise little girls because it causes unnecessary suffering, the fact that it's accepted in some cultures doesn't negate that suffering. As for pleasure and pain having inherent value/dis-value to begin with, whether or not the universe can be explained in material or metaphysical terms is irrelevant. It's self-evident that some emotional states are intrinsically good and bad experiences, consciousness might be an 'illusion' but an illusion is still perceptually real.
That's true which is why the action is justified only if 1) the harm caused is outweighed by the harm prevented/pleasure caused and 2) the harm caused is necessary because there is no other way to prevent the greater harm/promote the greater pleasure. Everyone's emotional welfare should be given equal consideration.
It's unanimously accepted by modern day neuroscientists that the likeliness of non-human mammals and birds being sentient is equal to the likeliness of other humans being sentient. Human nervous systems and other mammalian nervous systems are too similar to deny this and avian nervous systems are structured in the same basic way, even though they're no more closely related to us than they are to frogs. Most likely, all vertebrates are sentient and there's good reason to believe that even 'primitive' invertebrates are as well.
Most experts believe that birds have an intelligence equal to non-human primates and they're definitely more intelligent than human toddlers are. Chickens worry about their future because they don't live in the 'here and now' like infants do, also unlike small infants, they have the mental capacity to realize that objects continue to exist even when they aren't presently exposed to them. Like mammals (and crocodiles), birds are social animals, they nurture their young, there is a strong correlation between sociality in animals and intelligence. Regardless of how intelligent chickens are, if it's acceptable to kill and torture chickens on the basis of their being less intelligent than psychologically normal, human adults, then it is also acceptable to kill and torture human infants and some extremely mentally retarded human adults. How intelligent chickens are has nothing to do with their capacity for pleasure and pain.

Agent Smith: Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.
