It was just so obvious to me that Monkey's statement would not hold up if we plugged humans into the equation (if humans were the ones getting hurt).
I actually did not directly mean your particular children Monkey; I meant it as a hypothetical statement, such as saying it to anyone, whether or not they had children.
But if anyone likes, they may use my "indelicate" analogy as an excuse to hate the vegetarians.
Well, I don't disagree with Shemya's response, but My responses were applied to the hypothetical example as such. Please re-read them coming from that perspective because what I had to say was about such hypotheticals and what their purpose may be.
