I am not going to waste my time trying to explain to you why it's a smart choice to avoid eating beef so that we can have more food for humans to eat or more water to drink. Just think about how much work goes into raising a single cow and how much resources go into that process as well. Now imagine all those resources and energy going into something that we won't just murder when it gets fat enough. Would you mock someone who gave someone who was hungry their extra food they did not need? I don't understand the attitude of mocking people who's endgame is trying to help people. [/ QUOTE ]O RLY?!? |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] why does someone need a good reason to be a vegan? they only need a reason if they want to be evangelical about it.

[/ QUOTE ] Thank you for providing an excellent example of the condescending attitude and moral superiority that is stereotypical of vegans. |

In fact, I do when I buy my steak! This is the most stupid argument I've ever seen. |

I'd say that most of the people in this thread who have accused others of being closed minded are hoist on their own petard. [/ QUOTE ] Petarded. |

[/ QUOTE ] "mock" and "persecute" are two entirely different things, and the provocation is vegans' smarmy self-importance about being vegans. cf. Case Closed's most recent post. I think it's hilarious and mockable that people actually think they are morally superior beings because they only eat plants. |

Everyone jumping on for me for responding,
I wrote a paragraph as opposed to the lengthy diatribe I thought about posting. It was a pretty worthless post without getting into a lot of facts. Obviously you guys don't care about that type of stuff. Also, it's not about fiscal resources. It's about saving valuable land to be used for other things. |

Load 'em up. 3. Take to slaughter. And according to wiki they graze on land unsuitable for crops. Isn't murder a legal term not afforded to cows. The killing of animals for food seems pretty basic. Being Vegan is a very, very simple personal choice. The attempt to give it more meaning or make it a "cause" while demonizing those who don't join in or celebrate Veganity is the off-putting part. |
