Wait. I thought you said you weren't smug?
Already did. And I didn't say "vegans are to me" I said "vegans are to non-vegans".
Is that the only moral in your world? DO what thou wilt as long as you don't eat animals? My usual critique is that vegans have this over-simplified 2d understanding of ethics and the environment. So it kinda fits.
Is animal personhood a requirement for someone to be said to have empathy towards animals? Or are you just getting a little bit unhinged with cannibalism talk? You are allowed to walk away you know.
As far as I can tell, you don't seem to be taking anything non-vegan seriously. You've kinda proven the entire discussion and we can both move on.
Funny thing, that's what they'd say. Bodies are temples, Jesus' consent, yada yada yada.
Bit of a simplified definition, if I do say myself. As a utilitarian, I'd like to point out the spiderweb in any ethical decision as everything can harm others in some way.
Your only options are that I turn vegan or I'm inferior to you. You REALLY don't like educated interlocutors, do you?
say something very stupid
call any argument against it smug
We are both being smug right now because this argument is stupid.
You did a poor job explaining then. You made up that statement. I'm asking how you can be empathetic to someone you murder and eat. Why would that be my only moral issue?
Oh you didn't like when I referred to animals as 'someone'. Yeah so much empathy.
Never called you inferior, captain strawman. Stop making shit up. And your rebuttal to the religious thing didn't make any sense. How was that at all equivalent, or have to do with what I said?
Gay people don't make a choice, you do. And to relate them to your choice to harm others is insulting to their struggle. So gfy with this point
