Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Posted July 15, 2002 I did not cross post. I didn't even belong to Muslim-Veg. That was Maynard copying from another group. >> Wasn't he making sweeping generalizations? It wasn't a fucking manifesto, it was part of an email discussion. I was being flippant but with a grain of truth- you then proceeded to totally prove my point, LOL! Oh NOW you say you were being flippant. It didn't sound flippant at all. It's interesting how you qualify and twist what you said after the fact. Very neat! Isn't all of this just an e-mail discussion?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Posted July 15, 2002 Just think of it as one big list.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Posted July 16, 2002 > Where do you get off on passing judgement about people you 've never even met just because they don't happen to fit into *your* ethical framework? If as you said there's these meat eaters smoking in a pub I know a few things. I know they don't car much about their own health or that of others otherwise they wouldn't be smoking and having others breathe in their smoke and I know that they aren't concerned much with the lives of other beings otherwise they wouldn't be eating them. Those aren't judgements. Those are facts unless they are so dumb that in the face of overwhelming medical evidence they still think smoking is fine and unless they are in such deep sleep while awake that it never occurs to them that the burger they consume was once a living breathing life. Are these bad people? In some sense yes. Just as I was bad in those ways when I did these things. I would rather be with people who questioned the established norm, such as it is, and who make some effort at changing themselves and others than the pub group as nice as they may be in other ways. - Graham Burnett vegan-network Monday, July 15, 2002 2:56 PM Re: [100% veg*n ] Digest Number 650 Quote
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Posted July 16, 2002 What I think is really happening is that you conveniently twist what you say after the fact to squirm out of being caught by the tail. ---- Original Message ----- quercusrobur2002 vegan-network Monday, July 15, 2002 7:07 PM Re: [100% veg*n ] Digest Number 650 > > Oh NOW you say you were being flippant.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Posted July 16, 2002 Well the posts are there in the archives for all to see so I guess the rest of the group can decide who is conveniantly squirming and who is a plonker.
