Would you please do us all a favour and pull this subject from out of your arse. Veganism is neither good or bad. It is a choice. If more people eat no meat then great. More meat for the rest of us.
Then maybe some of the other posters on the website could also refrain from discussing political topics involving the right/left/islam. Even the OP mentioned overfishing and the list of endangered species in his original post. Veganism is a subject relating to all subjects - discrimination, health, the environment, even world hunger. I know there was a time recently when all political discussions from either left wing or right wing posters were annoying a lot of people so when the political posters stop posting their right/left wing views(which I doubt will happen) then I'll stop posting about veganism.

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping.

Off topic, much like your post, but sometimes you've got to see the funny side.

Fair point. The best, most constructive debates are when one is debating the points raised, rather than resorting to personal attack from the get go.

This site has many discussions about politics and religion because they are always in the news. By contrast, veganism is a like a cult. It has a belief system attatched to it that ignores all evidence that does not fit inside it's narrow view. It is not the answer to the world's problems and is only practised by a small minority. If you are going to use this site as a soap box to promote it then you can't be surprised if you get some rotten veg thrown at you. (Pun intended)

So you do. WW3 starts with a tweet. That will put Mr Standups veganism in perspective.

We just don't know, there is an official chemical weapons team due at the alleged site.
To the victims of chemical weapons, notably used by the United States, whether they are being gassed by 'animals' hardly makes any difference.......

Not limited to the USA, what do you think the UK's record is, if we don't actually use them we support and supply regimes that do.

I bet you wear red DM's and dungarees, and don't wash because soap contains hamster bile extracted by running them over with steam rollers.

After signing the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in 1997, the US pledged to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile – the second biggest in the world – by 2012. After repeatedly missing the deadline, it now promises to do so by 2023.
Russia, which once owned more chemical weapons than any other state, declared itself free of them in 2017.

Yes, those evil Americans. The ones who saved us in two world wars and were isolationists and pacifists until Europeans dragged them into the mess we created. When was the last time the West used chemical weapons?
