Zero self-awareness

Idk if you're being dense on purpose or if you actually think you made a point  the country you come from doesn't determine your ability to criticize things, as individuals are (duh) not solely responsible for every issue plaguing their country. And frankly, if you apply the same framework you just used on America to other countries (which is only fair to do if you're going to do it to America), you're opening a whole can of racist worms. Tell me you've never opened a history book without telling me

Racism much??

 

Not saying the animal sacrifices are a-ok (they're absolutely not) but saying another culture doesn't deserve respect and should not exist reeks bigotry.

If you stumbled across a cannibalistic tribe would you let them eat you so you don't die a racist? It IS their cultural practice after all which you would respect so you don't appear bigoted, right?

2nd person who can't engage with a hypothetical. 
 

how about gays being lashed in public because it's a cultural practice? Is that tradition worth respecting or else you're a racist?

[Pheromosa]

It's their culture in their own country.

The anger in here is amusing because we know you're all too out of shape and limped wristed to do anything about it.

But you have to vent somewhere I guess huh?

Quote

Participants believe that sacrificing animals in the Gadhimai temple pleases the Goddess Gadhimai, who will then grant them wishes or good fortune. Animals are also sacrificed to celebrate the birth of sons.

And has that even worked for them?

[dlwlrma]

Sacrifice animals will always be stupid, archaic, gross, etc. I don't care if I'm being disrespectful. 
But I also don't care if the costume still there, unless extinction is involved.

I have better things to care about, for example eat my meat

The animals are sacrificed for religious purposes and are then eaten. It is not done 'for fun'. Unless you are vegan, you don't have a position to stand on here, as it is no different from our meat industry.

They're sacrificed so that humans can gain some sort of mystic fortune or goodwill. Anyone, even if they are meat eaters can oppose such radically harmful ideologies. The Nepali government themselves realizes its problematic and out of touch, hence why they are attempting to end it 

[truthteller]

do they at least consume the meat afterwards

[Mocha]

do they consume the animals after the sacrifice? Because then it would be no different from slaughterhouses

Do you know the hellish torture the pigs, turkeys, chickens and cows you chomp on everyday go through before ending up in front of you?

[Sawk]

Not vegan, but lowkey the only people that can get mad at this are vegans. If you eat meat of any kind, you're kind of being a hypocrite.

Its my first time asking that question, and its to test your logical consistency, which isn't even possible since it seems you're unable to engage in hypothetical scenarios.

 

If someone asked you what you'd do if you were on the Titanic and it started sinking - your response equivalence would be "and how exactly would that happen? Time travel isn't possible. I have not and would never plan on traveling by ship"

I don't eat meat.

[Delirious]

Meh who cares. Why is it suddenly a problem when Nepalese people do it when y'all have been doing it for centuries.

 

I'm a vegan btw. Go Nepal!

Comparing cannibalism to this. WTF

 

Like literally what is the difference between what Nepal is doing and what farms are doing everyday to pigs, cows, chickens etc

 

You all are selectively choosing and hypocrites.
