THEY want that they never exist in the first place, YOU want them
"eliminated", i.e. killed, so you can eat them.

What THEY want harms no animal. What WE want kills animals, not to mention
causes many to suffer.

You are not establishing any moral high ground here nitwit.

I agree with part of that, but it is all beside the point, you still can't
criticize vegetarians for wishing that these animals never exist in the
first place, it is not a "misnomer" or anything culpable, it's just their
preference.

I never said they tricked anyone, their stated goals are right out there for
anyone to see.

I don't agree with everything the political party I vote for stands for
either, but I support enough things to support them.

Nothing, as long as you don't believe or attempt to portray in some bizarre
foray into the twilight zone that such an objective would be harmful to any
animals.

There is nothing inherently wrong with "the elimination objective", except
that it runs counter to my interests and wishes as a consumer of meat, among
other things. What *is* wrong with the AR objective in my view is a lot of
the inflammatory and twisted rhetoric that accompanies it.

You need to explain why we should consider that ethically
superior to providing livestock with decent lives.

Vegans contribute to the majority of the same animal deaths
that most people do. All they avoid are things that provide life
and death for livestock.

Suggesting that what misnomer addicts want would provide
livestock with rights is a lie, and refering to the elimination
objective as "animal rights" is a horrible misnomer as well as
being a sort of lie.

more than anyone could ever expect from you.

That doesn't mean providing decent AW couldn't be ethically
equivalent or superior, which is what I suggest and you people of
course have always maniacally opposed.

All the lying is wrong as well as the use of the gross
misnomer itself.

I don't need to do anything of the kind because I never made that argument.

You're the one lodging this complaint against vegans that they are being
selfish in their lifestyles by denying life to animals by not consuming
meat. YOU need to explain this complaint, what animals are being harmed that
would make a vegan "selfish" for advocating "elimination".

That's not the issue. What they want, the "elimination" of livestock breeds,
would not harm a single animal. To call their desire selfish or to complain
that it "denies life" to animals, is ludicrous.

It's not a misnomer or a lie. It is simply a desire that there be no animals
living in captivity, and that WOULD create a situation where animals had
rights, i.e. the right to live without being in captivity.

They're not lying, misguided maybe, deluded maybe, but not lying, and not
selfish towards animals.

They aren't lying, PeTA never claimed to be in favor of raising livestock.

Yet you imply just that when you call elimination "selfish".

I've never opposed AW, nor do most ARAs, and I have not suggested that AR is
superior to consuming meat from ethically raised animals. What I oppose is
this nonsensical notion that somehow the argument in favor of using animals
for food and other products is strengthened because the livestock we turn
into consumer goods "get to experience life", and the argument for veganism
is weakened because no livestock "get to experience life" as a result. That
whole line of argument is irrational and stupid, and you can't seem to get
it out of your head.

If you're so concerned about honesty start by acknowledging that by no
reasonable measure do most livestock animals' lives have "positive value".
The vast majority are, these days, at best, bleak, at worst, I don't even
want to contemplate it Therefore vegans, by opposing the raising of
livestock, are advocating something mostly positive, many fewer animals
living meaningless horrible lives.

> as the use of the gross misnomer itself.


There is no misnomer. No potential livestock have a right to be born, what
nonsense.

Any "teacher" that teaches students to poison cattle is far
from "good". But I thank you for again showing "Dutch" without
question that you people do NOT care in the least about the
animals, as I've been pointing out to him for years. All you care
about is yourself and the fact that it bothers you that other
people do consume meat, and you don't give the slightest damn
about anything other than yourself. "Dutch" is exactly the same
in that. You two are the same except that "Dutch" lies about
being a vegan eliminationist, while you still admit to being one.

Yes, just as you are obliged to try explaining how you want
people to think of your anti-consideration as being ethically
superior to having consideration. And just as "they" can't
explain their apparent absurdity, you can't explain yours either.

I believe you're lying, since if you did not want elimination
you would have NO reason to try restricting people from
considering when livestock have lives of positive value. In
contrast to that, since you do want elimination that fact and
that alone gives you reason to want to impose your restriction.

The animal foods addicts are trashing this planet in order

This is a crime.

But there's more to it: By brainwashing people into believing
that only animal foods taste good and will make them healthy
(both lies), they have trapped them into a very expensive
dietstyle requiring enormous amounts of land and water and
resources and energy and labor.

(Due to enormous subsidies and exploited cheap labor, the average
American doesn't pay anywhere near what animal foods actually cost.)

An herby can live of a few thousand square feet of garden in
their backyard and they can't be forced to become greedhead
capitalists in order to support their diets.

This is one of the main reasons that herbies and vegans scare
animal food junkies.

I disagree. So do millions of other herbies. And we don't care
what you think about it. Your diet is trashing this planet and
you have to be stopped.

Our teachers teach us guerilla warfare stretegies and tactics
and tools, tracking, wilderness survival, hand-to-hand combat,
pursuit and evasion, and all the other skills we need to protect
ourselves and the Earth from brutal, Earth-raping imperialists
like you Americans.

The training is great fun. The only thing we don't study are
things that would kill or cripple people. That's wrong. Fortunately,
one doesn't need to kill or cripple people to stop them from doing
things they shouldn't be doing. Usually, you don't even need to
confront them. Sabotage works wonderfully.

We've killed a lot of cattle. It doesn't take much to drive off
ranchers. Their profit margins are very slim. No way to blame
us: No witnesses and no way to even prove that a human agency
was involved at all. Cattle are as stupid and greedy as their
owners and will eat toxic plants if they are growing among
stuff they normally eat. Transplanting the toxic plants is
easy as pie.

[delete]

Like all liars, you are very long-winded. The truth can be
stated in just a few words.

Sid

I have an excellent reason, it is a self-serving, circular and useless thing
to consider.

You are deficient in B vitamins and animal sourced proteins. Which
explains your delusional and high-strung temperament.

Y'know one of the big things that the cults used to do to followers
such as in the famous Jim Jones cult, was to deny protein to the
followers. It made them very "pliable" and easy to manipulate.

Veganism, by definition, is a deficient diet.

Says someone who has about 16 pounds of protein-rich grains
and legumes fed to animals to produce 1 pound of animal flesh
to satisfy his addiction while about 16,000 children die
of starvation every day around the world.

It is clearly a waste of time trying to reason with you.
You don't even know what reason is. Or morality.

Welcome to my killfile. I'll bet I've already killfiled you
under other aliases.

If you don't like how I think or live or what I post, do
feel free to eat shit.

Since you're all about usenet etiquette then you should have no
problem not posting this off topic bullshit to alt.global-warming.

In addition to that, it seems that a person must have some
severe mental limitations in order to fall for the misnomer in
the first place. So you have mentally challenged people who eat
a diet that limits their mentality even more. That could explain
why so much of what they claim seems absurd....because it is.

Could be true, but you're worse. What's your excuse?

You, of course, have the most severe mental limitations.

You have no consideration for the lives of animals. You fake it.

You don't care about the animals, as I've been showing for over a decade.
