Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal! |

We were discussing your views Dutch. I explained my views. I do not feel compelled to intervene in a discussion engaged in voluntarily between two adults. I find it very odd indeed that you would imply that I should when you advocate letting anorexics who plead for help starve to death. I see Rudy's assault on SN's views as a possible ray of hope for her. You are free to allow her to wallow, but don't presume that the rest of us must do so. Your views however are also at issue here, and once again, those views appear wildly inconsistent. > I was > clear that I was discussing the contention that vegans have eating > disorders.

I allow for a certain amount of laziness everyday. That you attribute my lazy period to this is mistaken, but oh well, what you believe of what I state as my opinion is relatively rare. |

I was addressing your reactions as compared to your stated position. Based on your response here, I should be verbally abusive to any anorexic that I meet as means to "help" them. You seem to suggest above that this is what Rudy is doing for SN. My view remains as stated, where some expresses behaviour consistent with a desire to die, I believe that all people should be supported in what they want. If you want me to accept your viewpoint that the anorexic has no ability to control their thoughts, emotions or behaivours then, institutionalized life until they can demonstrate a cure is certainly a reasonable response for a society. |

If it's true that they are simply putting a game on then perhaps a little nasty attitude might shame them out of it. If they are starving to death it's not going to hurt them any more than they're hurting themself already. > You seem to suggest above that this is what Rudy is doing for SN. I find it a reasonable interpretation. Of course she must *take* it that way at some point or it won't work. > My view remains as stated, where some expresses behaviour consistent > with a desire to die, I believe that all people should be supported in > what they want.

Yes, some sort of facility would be helpful. We could play them tapes of Rudy calling them filthy skanks and you calling them self-indulgent whiners. That should work up an appetite. |

His mannerisms and insulting ways are not a ray of hope. They are more like glistening waste material. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites.

If they are > starving to death it's not going to hurt them any more than they're hurting > themself already. Which game are you referring to here? Is the suggestion that an eating disorder is the game, or that their interactions are a game, or Rudy's involvement with his posts direct at SN are part of a game? This however doesn't remove responsibility for you position, or more correctly to be considered an honest and intellectually honest individual. If the claim is that vegans are eating disordered, my question was quite clear: is this how you view those who you have deemed medically ill should be treated in the community? > > You seem to suggest above that this is what Rudy is doing for SN. > > I find it a reasonable interpretation. Of course she must *take* it that way > at some point or it won't work. I think then we now have a solution to eating "disorders". We can now establish treatment programs where people come in for regular doses of verbal abuse. I think we should then petition the medical community to incorporate expressions such as "****hair" and "****wit" into their bedside manner. > > My view remains as stated, where some expresses behaviour consistent > > with a desire to die, I believe that all people should be supported in > > what they want. > > What if they want YOUR money, your life? That's the beauty of being morally bankrupt, amoral and morally relativistic. I can support whatever other wants so long as it doesn't interfere in what I want. > > If you want me to accept your viewpoint that the anorexic has no ability > > to control their thoughts, emotions or behaivours then, > > institutionalized life until they can demonstrate a cure is certainly a > > reasonable response for a society. > > Yes, some sort of facility would be helpful. We could play them tapes of > Rudy calling them filthy skanks and you calling them self-indulgent whiners. > That should work up an appetite. You used these terms. I used the term passive-aggressive which refers to an inability to manage one's anger. One can coddle the passive aggressive, or the passive aggressive can choose to learn ways to become assertive as one possible solution. The passive aggressive (anorexic) could also be honest. The anorexic does what they do because they want to and because they like or derive some happiness from their choices. I've mentioned previously the paradoxical theory of change. Until the anorexic can be honest with who they are and what they do they seal their own fate. A consistent and persistent desire to be dishonest about the fact that they are starving themselves and to die means that are just dragging the rest of down with them. |
