Skanky Carpetmuncher's ignorance compounds her arrogance
Skanky Carpetmuncher did not know about animal
collateral deaths in agricultu At first I didn't know ***about cds***... Skanky Carpetmuncher - 13 Dec 2004 She did not know that cute, furry little mammals are chopped to bits in the course of producing the foods she eats. This didn't stop her believing that by not eating meat, she was thereby causing ZERO harm to animals. She believed it. By believing it, she thereby proved that "vegans" begin, in their ignorance, by believing in a logical fallacy. "veganism" is founded on a logical fallacy. |

Why are you stuck on that point? I now know about cds and have concluded that there are far, far less of them in a vegan diet. How many times must I remind you of this? My conclusions both before and after learning of cds are the same. Veganism is better for my health and cd-wise. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites. Has a fun 'Jump to a Random Link' button. |

No good. This is where the more shocking example of sodomizing children with broomhandles is instructive. You cannot claim to be "more moral" than someone who sodomizes children with a broomstick every day merely because you only sodomize children with a broomstick every other day. Similarly, you cannot claim to be "doing better" than others in terms of how many animals you cause to die merely because you cause fewer to die than they do. If causing animals to die is wrong, it is absolutely wrong, and you must cause NO animals to die before you claim to be doing "better". > How many times must I remind you of > this? How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are NOT "doing better"? |

I'll be the judge of whether I'm doing better or not. Note that I said better, not best. You'd have an argument if I had said best and not better, but I didn't so you don't. > > How many times must I remind you of > > this? > > How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are > NOT "doing better"?

No, moral consistency. > I'll be the judge of whether I'm doing > better or not. No, you will NOT be. You get to set the standard; others get to judge how well you meet the standard. Your standard is zero deaths, even though you want it to be weaker than that. Your standard is zero deaths because you believe killing animals to be WRONG. > Note that I said better, not best. > You'd have an argument if I had said best and > not better, but I didn't so you don't. You said zero deaths. You KNOW you said it, because THAT'S WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ACHIEVED prior to learning about CDs. You thought that by not eating meat, you were causing zero deaths, and ZERO DEATHS was your goal. You cannot now revise your goal, unless you explain the moral thinking that led to the revision. You cannot explain it. That's what I mean about your position being incoherent. > > >>>How many times must I remind you of >>>this? >> >>How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are >>NOT "doing better"? > > > I am too You are NOT. You are still causing animals to die, even though you claim causing animals to die is wrong. You are not doing "better" until you STOP causing animals to die. A child sodomizer is not "doing better" merely by doing less of it; he must STOP doing it, altogether. |

Don't you get it? I can revise my goal any time I want such as recently based on new information. You don't want to accept that, but tough. That's how it is. I owe you no explanation, especially since you're biased against ANYTHING a vegan might do or say. So quit dwelling on what I USED to think, unless of course you can't find any argument against my current views. Maybe that's what's happening. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites. Has a fun 'Jump to a Random Link' button. |

Just because something contains no meat doesn't mean it's inherently healthier for you. It can be patently unhealthy, especially over the long run. You should learn a lot more about nutrition before you make such generalizations. |

Your "conclusion" isn't well-founded, especially since you're generalizing about a nebulous plant-based diet and an equally nebulous meat-included diet. Were your comparison more detailed, you'd only be able to make that claim if you were comparing the best of a vegetarian diet against the worst of a meat diet. You're avoiding dealing with the whole spectrum of both kinds of diets, and accordingly you're failing to note that meat-included diets can be far more healthful and nutritious than an unplanned or poorly-planned vegetarian diet -- particularly given the fact that a vegetarian diet will inherently be malnourishing so far as nutrients like B12, iron, and zinc are concerned. > Disagree all you want. I shall! > No one's shoving any tofu down your throat. The issue isn't subjective, even though you're inclined to make it subjective. You've reached your position through sloppy, nebulous generalizations rather than sound science and objective data. You've even been careless enough to leave out the qualification that a "well-planned vegetarian diet" can be as healthful as a diet containing meat -- a point which is very highly emphasized by the major nutrition and dietetics organizations. Have you ever asked yourself why so many nutritionists and dieticians eat and recommend lean meats and why so few nutritionists are "vegans"? |

pointedly earlier today. Scented Nectar wrote: <...> > No one's shoving any tofu down your throat. Not yet. One of the dots you've yet to connect is how zealous vegans seek to force their diets and beliefs on others. This is evident from the statements on vegan and AR websites; some are more hostile than others, but their end isn't to do "their own part" as you say you're doing -- it's to coerce others to act in the manner the ARAs and vegan activists want. Many AR groups openly support the use of violence as a means to their end. If we really believe that these animals do have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing stuff up and smashing windows. For the record, I don’t do this stuff, but I do advocate it. I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be a great thing if all of these fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it’s perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows, and everything else along the line. Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it. -- Bruce Friedrich, 2 July 2001 [Eating meat] is not your personal decision, any more than, you know, whether somebody beats their child is their personal decision. -- Bruce Friedrich, 29 June 2002 It would be really great if all these fast-food outlets, slaughter houses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow. -- Peta Spokesperson Bruce Friedrich. http://rightwingnews.com/quotes/animal.php Do I hear you say that's just one spokesman? Okay, let's take a few quotes from one of PeTA's founders, Ingrid Newkirk. ALF, in case you don't know, is the Animal Liberation Front, a violent terrorist group. Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line. -- USA Today 9/3/91 Perhaps the mere idea of receiving a nasty missive will allow animal researchers to empathize with their victims for the first time in their lousy careers. I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren’t all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I’d light a match. — The Chronicle of Higher Education, 11/12/99 Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation. — Harper's, 8/1/88 Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it. Vogue, 9/1/89 Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders? Yes. New York Daily News, 12/7/97 Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works. — US News & World Report, 4/8/02 Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth. — Washingtonian magazine, 2/1/90 I will be the last person to condemn ALF. The New York Daily News, 12/7/97 I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down. National Animal Rights Convention, 6/27/97 I openly hope that [hoof-and-mouth disease] comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health and good for the environment. ABC News interview, 4/2/01 Note that this animal rights activist openly wished animals would get a very contagious disease. Not enough quotes? Here's a quote from vegan co-founder of PeTA, Alex Pacheco: Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are 'acceptable crimes' when used for the animal cause. -Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA Contrary to what you seem to believe, veganism is *not* a live-and-let-live belief system, nor are its adherents peaceable and tolerant. You'll probably say that there's room in veganism for tolerance for others, but then why do you and others frown upon those who eat meat, favor animal testing, and wear fur? I remind you that you share the viewpoint of vegan activists that it's not simply good enough for you to make a decision to marginalize yourself. You've stated your own wish that everyone else were marginalized as well: While I would like to see everyone become vegan, they're not. -- Scented Nectar, 5 Dec 2004, 9:37 am You're not forcing tofu down my throat. Yet. Then again, you're identifying yourself as a "vegan wannabe" without fully understanding that veganism, and its demented older sibling, AR, isn't about eating what's good for you or even reducing CDs. Veganism and AR are part and parcel of an extremist, totalitarian movement based on hatred for mankind masquerading as compassion for animals. Open your mind, Skunky. |

It's quite easy to figure out what's influenced you: you constantly regurgitate propaganda and then you slightly, but ever so slovenly, revise your statements once shown that they're fundamentally errant. Your revisions haven't been based on *any* research, they've been half-assed attempts to CYA only after being caught in peddling your initial lies and distortions. Your "revisions" are not a product of honest and clear thinking. > You just want to insult vegans. Vegans are an insult to the intellect and to humanity. |

For once, think. > There is no conspiracy to overthrough the > gov't or to shove tofu down your throat. Why do all those AR leaders approve of terrorism? I forgot to point out that Bruce Friedrich is also PeTA's director of vegan outreach. http://www.activistcash.com/biography.cfm/bid/1460 Why didn't you address the remarks made by him and the co-founders of PeTA that show they approve of terrorist tactics to spread their message? Will you now at least admit that you know very little about veganism other than what you've picked up on the streets of Toronto in your little niche? Will you ever take a harder, closer look at what veganism really is all about? It's NOT about food. It never has been, and never will be -- especially when key leaders endorse and applaud terrorism as a tactic for achieving their ends. RESTORING QUOTES If we really believe that these animals do have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing stuff up and smashing windows. For the record, I don’t do this stuff, but I do advocate it. I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be a great thing if all of these fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it’s perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows, and everything else along the line. Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it. -- Bruce Friedrich, 2 July 2001 [Eating meat] is not your personal decision, any more than, you know, whether somebody beats their child is their personal decision. -- Bruce Friedrich, 29 June 2002 It would be really great if all these fast-food outlets, slaughter houses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow. -- Peta Spokesperson Bruce Friedrich. http://rightwingnews.com/quotes/animal.php Do I hear you say that's just one spokesman? Okay, let's take a few quotes from one of PeTA's founders, Ingrid Newkirk. ALF, in case you don't know, is the Animal Liberation Front, a violent terrorist group. Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line. -- USA Today 9/3/91 Perhaps the mere idea of receiving a nasty missive will allow animal researchers to empathize with their victims for the first time in their lousy careers. I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren’t all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I’d light a match. — The Chronicle of Higher Education, 11/12/99 Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation. — Harper's, 8/1/88 Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it. Vogue, 9/1/89 Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders? Yes. New York Daily News, 12/7/97 Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works. — US News & World Report, 4/8/02 Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth. — Washingtonian magazine, 2/1/90 I will be the last person to condemn ALF. The New York Daily News, 12/7/97 I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down. National Animal Rights Convention, 6/27/97 I openly hope that [hoof-and-mouth disease] comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health and good for the environment. ABC News interview, 4/2/01 Note that this animal rights activist openly wished animals would get a very contagious disease. Not enough quotes? Here's a quote from vegan co-founder of PeTA, Alex Pacheco: Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are 'acceptable crimes' when used for the animal cause. -Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA END RESTORE Is *that* what you really "wannabe," Skunky? |
