Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just because there is no indication of their suffering doesn't mean they don't suffer.
Dude common, really?
Plants don't have a central nervous system. Pain and suffering is not in any way an evolutionary need for plants. We have a CNS and get the impulses, because we have the ability to do something about. Hold your hand above a flame and the pain will make you retract your hand. Hold a flame under a leaf and it'll just burn.
Furthermore your claim is currently infalsifiable. We can't proof that you're suffer even if you tell me that you're suffering.
Just because they don't have a central nervous system doesn't mean they don't feel. Perhaps there is a different mechanism for pain that we simply haven't discovered yet.
I recently found this website and I was reminded of you:
Have a look: doplantsfeelpain.com
