    Really ridiculous how vegans think this will put off any meat eaters from eating meat.

    Actually it’s having the opposite effect, it just infuriates people and makes them hungry.

    I myself am hungry for a chicken now!

      So what combination of words should vegans be using to convince meateaters to stop consuming meat?

      I see a lot of people telling vegans what not to say, but not a lot about what they should be saying to make their case.

      What would you find to be a convincing argument?

        You could start by talking like a civilized person without insults and maybe use facts, research, philosophy, etc. to explain your position why eating meat is bad and have a civilized debate.

      if you are infuriated by somebody pointing out the cruelties of your actions then i think that is a reflection of you, not them.

        Let’s see how you like being called names:

        You skinny shitmouth, go eat some cabbage grown in cow shit.

              I think YOU are missing the point of the first comment and MY point.

              They said that they are infuriated by people name-calling them, somebody said “see how you like it” and… I wasn’t infuriated.

              Insane that anti-vegan people (who have generally fallen for right-wing propaganda) are so bandwagony that you are getting upvoted for being so very incorrect.

                Yep, if namecalling is what prevents someone from going vegan…no it isn’t. It is just an excuse and they were going to continue eating meat with or without the namecalling.

                No. They’re not. They made an example to set you up, and you walked right into it. Making their point for them.

                Talking shit about someone’s diet isn’t going to make them change their diet.

                The only insane part is that you view everyone that isn’t a vegan as “anti-vegan”. Or that everyone that disagrees with you is “anti-vegan”

                I don’t think the cashier at my local grocery store is “anti-boardgames” just because they feel annoyed when someone tries to pay with monopoly money.

                  While I agree that there is a difference between non-vegan and anti-vegan, this is a very strained analogy.

                Nah, op is correct. Also no one mentioned right-wing stuff…or politics at all. Why would you bring that up and imply op is right-wing?

                  not implying they are right wing at all, that wasn’t my intention. Try re-reading it.

                  Nah, op is correct.

                  So the first comment in this thread did not say they were infuriated? Is that not what I was originally replying to? Is that not why I said I was unbothered by namecalling, to point out the fact that it is not infuriating?

                    Nope.

                    They said:

                    it just infuriates people

                    They said “people”, not “I”. They didn’t say “I am infuriated”.

                    The only information we have about the state of the person you are replying to is that they’re hungry.
