Elaine,

I noticed you say things like "So, yeah, it would be rude of them to invite me over and serve me dead animal"

"have you invited them over for dinner recently and served them flesh?"


Certainly you like to point out the brutality of what meat eaters are doing. You are a vegetarian, and I respect your opinion.



However, I remember you posting (perhaps under Otis) that you are pro-choice. What it be OK, if I described you as not being "pro-choice" but as a "supporter of murder" or a "backer of fetus killing"? (certainly you can understand how I would want to point out the brutality of what the people who dont side with me are doing)

Interesting analogy, though not convincing.
Inappropriate hijack.
Here's why:
People can be pro-choice without participating in abortion whatsoever.
People cannot be meat-eaters without participating in animal torture.
Thinking that an act should be legal is VERY different than actually participating in the act.

My Uncle is a vegetarian, but he is pro-my right to eat meat. I fail to see how what you said is any kind of real distinction.
