The
Views which see humans as inherently bad
and
View which sees humans as having a "wounded human nature"
subsections.
I'm in the latter camp, if you were wondering.
Are these two concepts based solely upon religious context?
Hobbes and Locke were religious (to an extent), but that really has nothing to do with their work. And Russel was very much not a religious figure.

I'm having a bit of trouble seeing the connection between
your view
and
what I said
.
I have lots a views, and you've said lots of stuff. You might want to be a little more specific.

First off, I'd like to point out the humor with Tooths' name and pic. They scream carnivore yet he preaches vegetarianism.
Now on topic, I love meat. Beef, pork, chicken, shellfish, turkey, venison, quail, buffalo, and snake; they all are tasty. Veggies and fruit do make up a good size of my diet, but I have to have meat in most of my meals. I'm not gonna give up my choice of diet because it may be healthier or more kind to animals if i went vegetarian. I'd rather die happy at 60 then miserable at 80.
Also bacon is the king of meats. Steak may be juicy, but bacon is more addictive than crack and wow combined.

Have you tried tofu? It tastes just like chicken!Only if you get tof-cken. Tofu itself tastes like nothing; it's whatever you spice/marinate/whatever with it.

I find it ironic that the original post included any sort of statistical data at all. Being a vegetarian is strictly based on your passion. I don't think any of the subjects he brought up is the reason why 99% of the vegetarians became what they are in the first place. All of it just seems like water under the bridge to me.

Humans are omnivores , means we eat everything, we need to eat everything , if we don't we go ill
so your point is invalid , but your goal is good

Gotta watch the omnivore classification heh; had that come up in a sci-fi book I was reading and an alien race, learning that omnivore meant that Human's could eat 'anything' decided to offer them rocks, dirt, etc etc. Was quite amusing to read heh, and slightly true, but that has nothing to do with vegetarianism.
Though, I should raise a point here heh; Chimps(our closest genetic relation) do the same things we do; they eat whatever they can get a hold of; fruits if possible, but they won't turn down meat. And look at the Grizzly bear; seems to be the biggest carnivore on the planet... but if they can get them, they would rather eat berries and wild fruits instead of meat.
