Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

No, we merely shouldn't try to force our ways on to other people. If someone has a personal preference then they can keep it to themselves.

Morality & ethics should be left up to the individual to decide for themselves. Don't try & force your ethics onto me. I will determine my own ethics.

Morality is in fact a product of persuasion and debate. If it were individual, then you'd have a society of 50 year-old men individually deciding it was perfectly moral to fuck 14 year-old girls, or of people deciding all property should be shared and then sharing their neighbor's new sports car. But the fact is that these actions have been demonized, and will be strongly punished by the community.

As for forcing views-- look at the thread title. The correct response to "Any vegetarians/Vegans here?" is "Here I am" and "Hey, me too, small world, nice to meet you." It's a little ironic to enter a thread with that particular title, rave against the OP, and then claim that vegetarians are forcing their views on anyone-- nobody was forced to hear or listen to anything that has been written in this thread. You'll note that in the OP la ban dien SPECIFICALLLY said he/she was looking to meet like-minded people, and was not interested in engaging in a debate with meat-eaters. So who's forcing their ideas on whom?
