There was I thinking I had posted a semi-supportive comment, 'Semi-supportive', linking me to someone I assumed you were referencing because of the negative connotations (it can be read either way). And this is as seen in an environment where the chances are those who support the concept of veganism aren't likely to say so, because of the toxicity of the carnists / trolls, so it's more common to be attacked than supported. quoting the final paragraph of Johns post, Someone whom I respect in general but who has a very different viewpoint on veganism etc? using the word regrettably Regrettably. ;-). and now I am ignorant or selfish simply for pointing out how you have become the target of much of the vitriol that Harry was subject to. Not so. There I was referring to peoples understanding / attitude towards animals (and not even yours specifically as I don't know them, just going by current stats etc). See, IDGAF what people think of me for raising awareness of the animal suffering etc as long as they stick to the facts and are honest about themselves. A not very cheerful Richard Sorry if you thought you were being 'supportive' and if I took it the wrong way. Cheers, T i m |

You've been supporting the idea of staying in the EU which supports the transporation of animals for slaugter between countries and overseas. Oh are you still here sigh Yep, its called lunchtime at work. Yopu still prattling on with just half a brain in use. No, I 'wasn't in support of staying in the EU'. How could I have been when I spoiled my paper rather than voting Leave? So why were you complining about the result and that it should been a majority (whatever you meant by that) So on a referendum where the options are I want to remain in the EU I want to leave the EU. Did you draw a penis or write NOTA or NOTB did you wipe your arse on the paper did you make any markings in or out of the boxes ? And how do any of the above describe what you wanted to happen ? So be honsest for once what did you put on your paper. I do wonder what those 25K spoilt papers looked like, what was put on them and why. so snip irrelevancies Everything I've stated is supported by both millions of other people You mean the 74 million Trump supporters that's more than the number of UK voters that voted to leave and join the EU and yet you think the 25K odd spoilt papers are the key inteligent people without even know how or why the spoilt their papers. Nope. You are doing your crazy rambling thing again. Its basic logic question, you think if millions of people support something then that makes it correct don't you. Otherwise why say "I've stated is supported by both millions of other people" What exactly is by both millions of people anyway ? We know some placed marks outside the box some voted for more than one option. Well done? But seem to think these peolpe are the most inteligent and want change. Who does? It's a spoilt paper isn't that what so called inteligent people do in order to indicate their views in a referdum or ballot and all the science so what's your issue, other than your own ignorance or selfishness of course? Well, surley science is logic, maths , fact It is? Yes , not that I expect you to know. snip rambling Just to save you some time, I'll not bother replying to you again till you get back on the meds. ;-) I don't need meds its you that has to take supliments to your diet.

Of course, any obviously they have every right to not read and certainly not reply if it's something they have heard before. However, there are people who may come and go and who may not have a specific interest in say veganism but might be interested to learn things that make someone become a vegan. We are actually talking about things that cover a whole range of RW things that look to be likely to affect all of us and in many, possibly not so obvious areas (like car tyres or wood treatments). I appreciate that not seeing others experiencing a "road to Damascus" conversion Isn't that a tautology John? ;-) similar to your own might be disappointing, It might if I expected that of anyone here, but I don't. but that does not mean that we failed to give consideration to your point or did not hear your message. Already accepted, just that not everyone seems to 'get it' *yet*, like NT's questions about the existence of vegan chocolate! Just that in some cases have formed a different opinions. But have potentially formed them in ignorance (see above). And the use of the term 'ignorance' isn't a slur on them as I was in a similar position over a year ago, or more in my case that I was aware but hadn't bothered looking closely (but / so was still 'ignorant' of all the facts and options), cognitive dissonance etc. The frustration doesn't come from the trolls (I quite like watching them dig those holes so deep weg) or Ex(?) 'farmers' like Mr Lamb (who I have previously broken bread with on more than one occasion and who is also 'a nice guy') but maybe people like you, people I respect and who in 'every other' area we have ever discussed, have shown me a sensible, intelligent, knowledgeable logical and considerate person. You have made your position clear (that you consider it 'ok' to consume and use ('use' sounds less confrontational / provocative than 'exploit', even of not quite so accurate) animals for your own needs and desires) ... and that you may be 'cutting down' or at least putting more consideration into what meat you eat (and not even because of anything I have said etc), but it's the former that still leaves me confused (partly because of the latter). Like, I can see how it might be difficult to explain / persuade someone older (your parents) as it is my own Mum. She gives money to the donkey sanctuary and helps rehabilitate dogs but serves us up chicken when I have told her we are we aren't eating any meat. 'You have been eating meat for 60 years' was her only explanation. Funnily she doesn't try the same track with dairy because she knows I was advise off that by the doctor so it's only my personal choice she has an issue with and is confused about. Daughter, her B/f and the step niece are all vegan, niece and hubby are vegan and my sister and hubby and cutting out nearly all red meat (mainly because of health scares so on medical advice). Some of our friends also happen to be vegi / vegan, individually, just him / her and not the kids or the whole family. It's also interesting to see how many on TV are also vegan (or at least vegi). [1] So, I would be interested to learn how much of your current position is a function of others, if any (family / friends) or what it is that would allow you to be logically inconsistent (as you don't seem to be the sort of person who would hurt a cat or dog), especially for 'no (good, by it's standards) reason'? You have my email address if you prefer to answer that offline. Cheers, T i m [1[ You may have seen mention elsewhere recently where Bill Bailey was on a TV cooking show and was offered duck and mentioned how that *now* made him feel uneasy because he has two pet ducks. I think Jeremy Vine was on something similar and reacted similarly, didn't want to eat it when it still looked like the animal it once was. Aren't these just more examples of cognitive dissonance? |
