Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 if you call someone mad you are saying that you are incapable (through lack of interest/time/education) of understanding the beautiful and individual way in which that other person's mind works... and sometimes that incapacity to understand is understandable when there is in fact a large amount of delusion in the other person's mind that prevents them in the first place from communicating how or what they are thinking.... i believe Angie is talking about the former... Simon the latter... i don't mind being told off... Angie Wright [angiewright] I think we are all a bit mad . We have to be to remain on here for so long . mad or sad anyway ! Lesley Dove [Lesley] I'm not telling you off this time, it's fine to point out a contradiction, but I didn't think much of you calling him mad.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 In other words, yes Simon, you are thinking too far ahead, even for most other vegans. I only think vegan lions, tigers, etc, can happen through humans already having become compassionate vegans and taking control of nature, and really that is such a big job, and probably impossible, even if it is the right thing to do because it would reduce the killing and suffering. I do agree with Oliver that such evolution is unlikely to happen in the animal kingdom, because of the points he has made here, and what you hope for is unlikely to happen or at any rate it is a very long way off. I DO empathise with you Simon as I too very much like the idea of such a utopia and there is nothing wrong with you working towards it. I don't understand why there is so much disrespect for you from some on this group, really I don't. But I do think it is the right thing for us to do, to make other animals vegan if we can, I just don't think we can do it all, and we have to pick our battles and try to get humans to change first. There are polite and impolite ways of disagreeing and I always (well nearly always) feel Oliver is putting you down, but anyway you are in good (?) company as he always put me down for my anti-smoking feelings and the way I get ill from tobacco smoke. I think some vegans like to put others down, even their fellow vegans unfortunately, for very little reason sometimes, and it is not helpful usually. I only make an exception if the other vegan is doing something seriously harmful like being a smoking parent.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 you are not right Lesley I have not ALWAYS put you down for your anti-smoking feelings.... i completely admire your firmly held convictions and that no matter what you will never let go of them or maybe they will never let go of you ... whether or not i agree with some of your reported behaviour that arises out of your beliefs is a different matter... it's not black and white ... i don't dislike anything that much ... except absurdity ... and i don't mind that too much either... i understand fully your reasons for disliking smoke and smoking and appreciate that when you are around smokers need to be more cautious if not heeding complete abstension for your own health-related reasons. however i don't see any problem with the occasional flippant aside .... especially if it causes people to laugh and spill beer all over their keyboards... perhaps no one can see the link between forcing animals to do what we want them to do ... and the war in Iraq ... ? the total f...g arrogance of human beings in this day and age (but not limited to now any more than in the whole of imperialist american and british history) ... whether it be with veganism or military might... it's the same arrogance ... and we're a part of their arrogance when we practice our own ... just as much as we're a part of their violence when we practice violence in our own small unnoticeable ways ... brushing someone off as mad ...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 See what I mean? It's comments like this from you that annoy me, the way you comment on me and my behaviour as if I can help the way I am made ill by cigarette smoke, as if I have to "let go" of something, and as if I am wrong to raise my objections to it and stand up for myself. The rage against my mother is probably what you think I need to let go of but then I hardly get angry at her as I don't see much of her and besides she is more respectful of my wishes now (admittedly it is because I finally put my foot down over her smoking) and she agreed not to smoke inside when we were round at her house last time we were in Cheshire. We would not have visited otherwise. Today I was not thinking at all about this when I was indoors with my daughter and I felt safe, when suddenly out of the blue I smelled cigarette smoke, so I went to the door of our flat to investigate and saw a delivery man smoking as he was trying to deliver to a neighbour who was out at work. I have a very sensitive nose when it comes to cigarette smoke, I can smell it from quite far away, even just a little of it, like a shark smells a very dilute amount of blood in water. I complained that it was really upsetting me as it was coming into our flat and the corridor stank now so he went out of the block of flats to stub it out, he did not return to ask me to take my neighbour's parcel (which I would have done and I think he was going to ask me to take it, but I got my complaint about his smoking in first), obviously he was too ashamed to face me again, but the damage was done, the air was thick with smoke in the corridor and took ages to clear. Spraying air freshener only masks the smell which helps to some degree but not entirely as it does not get rid of the actual filthy smoke. I felt very ill and breathless from it. This man was just clearly disrespectful to smoke in the corridor of a block of flats because there was clearly hardly any way for the smoke to disperse except via people's flats! My door was shut and still the smoke came in. I shut the door and opened the windows. I shall now be telling the neighbour that I am sorry that I was unable to take delivery of her parcel, which I normally would have quite willingly done, and why I was unable to take it, so she is aware of the situation. I hope it will prompt her to complain about the delivery man! She probably won't though because she is not bothered by smoke although a non-smoker herself, and she does not understand how offensive it is to some people. I don't know what company he was with or I would complain to them myself of course.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 I got ill recently when I had to pass a load of smokers at the hospital entrance (I was going to see a doctor about my veruca). I made a big fuss about it because I felt so sick and breathless. It was at Northwick Hospital in Harrow. This must be a common problem at hospital entrances and I think they should go well away from there to smoke, or better still not smoke at all. Maybe I'll take a big supersoaker water gun next time and use it on them. It will make a point even if I was to get arrested.
