Why I am not a vegan

[Unbound]

I don't even know why I'm in this argument because I don't agree with you on fundamental basis' of "ethics", so I am just going to bow out.

Also, this is really, really condescending and passive-aggressive sounding and is exactly why I stopped wanting to discuss this with you in the first place.

It is. The difference, apparently, is that I consider animals to be other-selves also...they are our younger brethren. I have learned that many people here on B4 don't consider animals to be other-selves. They think Service to Others applies only to humans. I think that is the crux of the disagreement.

You are talking "generally" to avoid the fact that you are including me in your generalization so as to not seem like you are chastising me when you really are. I am leaving this thread, adieu.
