Post #6, you already start devaluing the feedback/opinion of others because it doesn't fall within your acceptable parameters of discussion:
According to this, you wanted people in the thread to role play an animal being eaten. I'm not sure that you're going to get a bunch of on-topic posts in regards to that thought experiment.
Also, the definition of facetious, for posterity:
You keep saying it was outrageous that you would diminish my time as a vegan, thank you for agreeing with my point. This is why I laughed and even started using "sarcasm" and "facetiousness" myself, because it WAS outrageous.
So in this analogy, which part is the sickness? The veganism or age? Do I have to be old enough to "get" this "sickness" or do I have to be vegan long enough? How sick do I have to be before my opinion is worth being acknowledged?

That being said due to the area its difficult to grow veggies to eat, i think if its possible for you to eat veggie then it will be of a good service but if you really can't go veggie then i don't think it will stop you from moving on through the densities.
Matt1, I would appreciate it if we all kept this discussion to the consciousness of the 2D entities. When speaking of eating animals, let's do so from the perspective of the animals, rather than from the perspective of the human who is eating them. (There are already numerous threads on the topic of eating animals from the human perspective.) Thank you for helping me keep this on-topic! Smile

OK. Do you know anyone who is elderly? Say, a grandparent in their 70s? Perhaps they experienced arthritis, or osteoporosis, or some other illness that the elderly are prone to get, that you haven't experienced because you are young? If they said "I experienced xyz...and you haven't yet experienced that because you are too young" would you be offended?
