Good to know you're both cruel and insecure. Thanks for sharing with the group

    It's not that, it's just the baggage that comes with it. It's like a partner telling you they have two small kids you have to deal with. At first it's fine, but then the pressure grows on you until one night you find yourself about to sacrifice the neighbours cat for a piece of that sweet sweet flesh, blood raining down as you tear the feline on half, its final yowls turning raw and gutteral whilst the life winks slowly out of its eyes to be reborn elsewhere in another life no doubt.

    You know, small stuff like that.

    Exactly, it's the cool factor that is the main driving force. Every time I go to the kebab shop, I pop on my sunglasses, sidle up casually to the counter and raise two fingers to the meatkeep, signalling that I want two baby deer on a pizza - stat! - and then I slide him two dollars across the counter, to sweeten the deal, and with a wink he throws in a hamster for that extra zest.

    I chug down my ayran like a boss so fast that it makes the girls gasp, and then I grab my pizza and action roll out of the shop, tossing finger guns at everyone in sight. I aaaaaay across the road, fonzie-style, and tip the local crackhead generously with the end of mood ring to show him that I care and that I'm down.

    That's just how I roll.

    I'm not a saint. If people are going to try and hurt me I'm going to ridicule them.

    Go audit what that person has said.

    Besides maybe I'm a piece of shit, there's no guarrantee I fulfill my own green flags.

    I actually frequently identify myself as a human garbage fire, which is funny really. Like I am a human garbage fire and even I am vegan, so what does that make non vegans?

    Congrats, you’re as insufferable as the people you’re trying to offend!

    I'm not vegan so this doesn't offend me.

    I'm not a vampire, it's not like waving the idea of death at me is going to send me slinking back to my verdant fields.

    Humans are omnivores, nothing to feel bad about.

    Nobody should feel shame for what their body can do. That doesn't mean we should do it.

    We have all sorts of abilities, we can drop kick babies for example. Doesn't mean you should do that.

    See that breaks down when there are victims. Even if we stick to non human animals I'm sure you have negative opinions about some of the following: whaling, dog fighting, dog eating, skinning cats, horse racing, circus animals, pet hoarding, shark nets.

    Like everyone is familiar with the idea that there are acceptable ways to seek pleasure in the world and some line beyond which they say "no you're victimising another for your own gain. I do not think that is acceptable". Even anti vegans rarely endorse arbitrary use of non human animals for pleasure.

    So you are probably comfortable with the idea that you can't just say "live and let live" and be done with it. That works for whether you want to plant red roses and I want to plant pink ones, or you like toffee and I like cake. It doesn't apply when lives are on the line.

    Killing/hurting beings that want to live and suffer when you don't have to is wrong. It is a wrong thing to do.
