Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[James2014]

I am not really interested and am truly uncconvinced by vegan 'ethical' arguments. To me, its very simple: I respect your right to control and choose what you eat, I don't give a fuck about your opinion of me based on what I eat.

It seems to me that some (<--not all, some) vegans adopt a cult-like attitude with many analoguous traits to religious cults. Example: some vegans only accept their view and attack others that think differently. You want to eat non-meat products? Cool. You want to tell me what I should eat? Fuck you.

Ok, so it's wrong for vegans to project their ethics on to you, but you think its ok for you to project your ethics onto the lives of animals? I am sure you see why vegans disagree with this!

I, like you, am happy to not get involved with tell others what to do, as long as they don't infringe the rights of others. Meat eating however certainly does infringe the rights of animals.

To me, the eating of meat is very much like a religion. Instead of God, they worship some bizarre conception of nature which they use to justify their actions. They unquestioningly adopt their parents beliefs. They sit together worshiping a roast, and experience rapture at the experience. Challenging their beliefs is met with denial and obscurification.

Are you going to figure out the answers to quantum physics or something if you live for 5 more years? No. So does that mean your life has no value? Why then do you value your life and the lives of other people?

The fact is I might actually come up with something to benefit others. I have done it before and I probably will do it again. A chicken won't and you know it.

But why would it matter if you could come up with something to help others? Why does helping others matter?
