Zone Wrote:So what if he was? You're merely reiterating my point, which was that your were making the very simple association fallacy, and you know that. Again, it's the exact same thing if I said all Atheists are Nazis, and that all Vegans are Religious/Extremists. Obviously, NOT TRUE. Dangling a red herring only makes you look like a fool.
No, the biggest fallacy is thinking that anything we discuss on this forum actually makes any difference in the world. If you think this forum is any more than just the opinions of different people, or that this is more than just chit chat, then I dont know how to answer you.
Might I remind you that you godwin'd first, not me. Not that it really matters. If you dont like what I have to say, then post your opinion. I am not going to fool myself thinking that any conversation on this forum will make any difference to anyone on here.
zone Wrote:Good, but you DID equate VEGANISM (and NOT PETA) with religion in the thread title. I am not putting words in your mouth, now, am I? Now, when I defended VEGANISM, your reply was thisI specifically said I have no beef with VEGETARIANS. The topic is VEGANISM. They are two different things according to modern definitions:
-Vegetarianism encompasses the practice of following plant-based diets (fruits, vegetables, etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products or eggs, and with the exclusion of meat (red meat, poultry, and seafood). Abstention from by-products of animal slaughter, such as animal-derived rennet and gelatin, may also be practiced.
-Veganism is the practice of eliminating the use by human beings of non-human animal products. Ethical vegans reject the commodity status of animals and the use of animal products for any purpose, while dietary vegans or strict vegetarians eliminate them from their diet only
Therefore, I dont mind vegetarians, and I dispise Vegans and consider them extremists that mimic a religion. In other words my wording is intact and precise. PETA is slam full of VEGANS who want to force their agenda on the rest of us.
I stand by my topic name
