Assuming your really hungry, and you have a bunch of hard boiled eggs available… how many can you eat until you are totally full?

    How many eggs do you have to eat before thoughts of the violence and cruelty you are committing impinge upon your consciousness?

      All food is part of a lifecycle. Whatever you eat, something has died for it. Yes, even plants.

      But do we really need to have this argument every time? There are plenty of vegan communities to pound the pulpit in, I even upvote you in your vegan community posts…

      We are just here trying to have a good time. Just have a egg and relax.

        Okay? So what? That’s irrelevant, and I think you know that. I think you are just trying to distract yourself from processing ideas and feelings that are inconvenient for you.

        No one is against the death of any living creature. That’s a ridiculous straw-man.

        You cannot be cruel to a plant. You cannot commit violence against a plant. You cannot commit atrocity against a plant. These are things you do every time you buy an egg. Plants DON’T HAVE EXPERIENCES. The experiences of animals are real and matter.

        It’s funny how plants rights advocates only seem to exist in the presence of people appealing for compassion to animals. Funny, transparent, and pathetic.

        Do you know why people don’t have empathy for animals? Because they are cowards. Experiencing the feelings of creatures that you abuse so heartlessly HURTS more than you are even willing to understand. So you just block it all out and pretend it isn’t even happening. You make stupid little arguments that ignore the point, just to distract yourself from thinking about that very point. It doesn’t matter that you’re making the same arguments that have been refuted a million times before, because you are not interested in engaging in good faith, you just need a distraction.

        From your own fucking cruelty and violence. Never allowing yourself to even consider that you can JUST STOP being cruel and violent. Because then you’d have to admit to yourself that you’ve been manipulated into being a monster all your life.

          your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.

          from your first comment here, you are distracting from the intent of the original post to grandstand

          whether something matters is subject to individuals values. something that matters to me might not matter to you.

          every sentence here is false.

          “You’re a monster. Now join my way of living.” Do you really think people will actually follow you with that kind of antagonism?

          You gotta work on your persuasion skills, or else that’s proof that you don’t actually care to convert people and just like to stick your nose up. Instead of insulting people, why not start with spreading awareness of Meatless Monday?
