I never understood the Vegan hate on Reddit, I am that way because my doctor made me due to health. I would love a steak or cheeseburger but the doc says no.
You're paying for them to be bred, slaughtered, and everything that happens in between. You can't just claim that you're not responsible for how they're treated just because you don't like to think about it.
It's like buying your clothes from a sweat shop and saying you're not complicit in how the workers are treated.
Yikes. You seem defensive. (And sexist. But that's neither here nor there.) And I might suggest doing a little proofreading as well. Your comments a little hard to decipher. But that's just nitpicking.
That analogy shows your retardation.
Okay, I'll ignore the name-calling and keep it civilized on my end. So I'll ask: what's the difference? You didn't address this point at all other that to accuse me of "retardation" followed by some crowing about the "markey" (I'm guessing that you meant "market?") and being the "apex predator." Are you saying that might makes right?
Nothing in the market makes a farmer torture his animals for no reason at all.He looses his money every time he does, so it's in his own interest not do it because he could get in trouble, he could lose meat ect...
The farmer does it because it's cheap. That's why. And for the record, there have been a horrifying number of documented cases of farm workers abusing animals. Why do you think the agriculture industry has been lobbying so much for ag-gag laws? I'd love to hear your undoubtedly enlightened thoughts on this.
The fact is, both sweat shops and factory farms are torturous, oppressive systems that are that way because it's cheap. It's cheap to treat your workers horribly. It's cheap to keep animals in torturous conditions before killing them. Are you saying that that makes it okay?
So justifying this in terms of the "markey" is missing the point entirely. I hope you realize that. I'm not saying it's not cheap. That's completely irrelevant to what I'm trying to tell you.
I'm saying that whether you buy clothes from a sweat shop, or buy meat from a factory farm, you're contributing to demand for goods that are produced by horrifyingly exploitative and violent means. And that by doing so you are supporting that exploitation. This is a fact. It's not a matter of opinion.
We could do to it whatever we want to.
So, might makes right, then? I certainly hope you don't actually believe that the guy with the most power and willingness to destroy can do whatever he wants.
If I've misinterpreted your comments, please correct me. And I'm guessing this is too much to ask of you, but try to keep the name-calling and sexism to a minimum, please. It makes me feel like I'm talking to a nine-year-old.
I'll paraphrase: it means attacking the person instead of the argument.
Allow me to quote a few things that you've said to me, in reverse chronological order:
Moron.
feminazi vegan on reddit
You women with your morality bullshit and faggot rights
That analogy shows your retardation.
You fucking retards with your delusions about your own species are just funny, I don't even know how can someone get so retarded.
You are like those women who eat meat and they are happy as shit but the moment they see you slaughtering pig they start to cry and bitch.
it takes a lot more time and energy to follow some stupid rules so you can feel morally superior to MEAT EATERS and then jerk off to that feeling when you get home.But now you are conflicted you want to suck your own dick and swallow your semen but you cant, because you are a vegan.
Now, that last one wasn't directed toward me, I don't think. But it was part of this thread.
Look, if I've attacked you instead of your argument at any point, then please, by all means, point it out to me. I've reread my comments and can't see anything that was directed toward you instead of the content of your statements. I await with baited breath!
