I respect the average vegan far more than the average meat eater.
If you ask someone why they consume meat, they'll look at you as if you're crazy for daring to think differently than the herd.

I find myself disagreeing. Pain is an aversion to a stimulus that would inhibit or prevent a life form from reproducing. This is a universal sensation for any form of life on Earth as, biologically, their sole goal is to reproduce.

The average person has incoherent moral views regarding animals. If you eat meat, there should be no moral difference whether its a dog and a pig.

Close, but it's the exact opposite. The opposite sex must be the reason why I can't get a girlfriend.

Hating the French online is a strange social phenomenon that pressures you to conform to the herd and its arbitrary standards. True free thinkers direct their disdain at the Latvians.
