Living to their beliefs is not a problem. Them trying to impose their beliefs however… I still remember a guy who described my meal as disgusting and mumbled something about murder.
It seems like you confuse it with religion. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about whether or not we find certain actions in our society to be morally wrong. Either you can justify your actions morally or you can’t. For example: “Beating women is fine”. Can it be justified morally? No. Can you prove through logic that it’s wrong? Yes, easily, by simply pointing out that trivial reasons like personal pleasure aren’t justification to bring suffering upon other individuals. If you’d, however, insist on beating women, how would you call that?
Nice example of how not to communicate. But what has this to do with what we’re talking about?
Theres just one thing quite obvious in this thread:
You love to state your opinion, even though you spread nonsense by that. And you also like to talk shit about other people when someone presents you facts that you don’t like

Not really, sweetie. What’s clear here is that vegans don’t tolerate people who enjoy eating meat and yet they don’t see how similar they are to bigots.
It’s funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it’s automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it’s a symptom of the omnivore’s cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.
Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.
#30 How do you spot a vegan?
Haha @hobowillie, that’s hilarious!
Mostly by what you also recognize human rights, women’s and all other activists by: They talk about the grievances they have discovered and want to fix.
By the way: Often vegans can also be recognized by the fact that they peacefully eat their soy schnitzel at the barbecue until someone, driven by their own bad conscience, has to make a comment about it and is suddenly angry at vegans for some reason after they have calmly and kindly explained their motivations upon request.
#54 Vegans think they are better than everyone
While it feels good to know that you have questioned traditions and made your own informed decisions in line with values that reject violence rather than promote it, you should not get on a high horse, because almost all vegans were once not vegan and everyone can take this step. However, completely refusing to address the issue is a difficult stance to take.
By the way: Just because a vegan once told you an uncomfortable truth, they were not being mean to you. And even if you didn’t like a vegan once, that doesn’t question the whole point of veganism or justify continuing to exploit animals.
Well the “how to spot a vegan” is just a shitty joke. And the first thing you linked doesn’t really seem like their much of a vegan. They’re doing it for health reasons it seems. So they’re just eating a plant based diet. And then you linked two reddit posts… lol. Do you know how much stuff on reddit is fake?
The fact that 5 kids knew well enough about the OP’s vegan status to use them as an example meant that the person probably never shut up about it.
Or they saw him eating differently at lunch, and asked their parents why.
Makes too much sense, probably the victim’s fault instead /s
If they were classmates this info would be common knowledge after a few meals together.
Or you know he turned down meat offered or was asked why he ate different food?
There’s always a person who can’t just take the joke
Vegans bad, we get it. How dare they to live according to their moral beliefs

I am not confusing anything. Veganism don’t have any rational basis and it is therefore a belief.
No, it’s obviously not. I recommend informing yourself.
Obviously it is. With a lot of zealots as seen in this thread.

Viva la free speech I guess

“No it isn’t”
“Yes it is”
Argument won, great job 👍

Would it be acceptable for someone calling you a murderer for eating meat, wearing leather shoes or driving petrol car?
Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.
So yes, it’s not polite, but acceptable.
🤦♂️ Not a religion imposing their beliefs at all.
Indeed. Can you point any inconsistencies in that sentiment, or prove it false? If not, what’s the problem here?
Perhaps only that you are no different to other brainwashed religious zealots who called abortion a “murder”. Go figure.
Unfortunate that you are downvoted to shit. This was my first thought as well. Kinda cements the " vegans can do no wrong" opinion about themselves.
