Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 I always introduce veganism as the most radically effective form of political action. It sure shuts people up who are expecting a " but carrots have feelings too type of argument " , especially the lefties who are left staring in a mirror of their own hypocrasies while financially supporting all the big right wing owned, environmentally destructive corporate activies. follow in with a swift upper cut to the impact of international energy policies, butt in the head with moncropping, animal feed, water rights and the rights indigenous people. then lay them on the ground with a thesis on species loss and the aggregation of pesticides. the generally idea is to leave them so traumatised that they never make fun of another vegan in the lifes. you can even take their jeans off them in a pincer move for organic farming being against the pesticidal production product of cotton by nigh slaves in Africa [ 60p a day and the wives and kids work for free ]. want to argue?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 I imagine monocropping is large fields of one (mono) crop. Intensive agriculture. Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, interesting. I have a non-vegan 'friend' who thought it would be amusing to come onto this site and take the mickey out of all the vegans. I'm almost tempted to let him, just to see his reaction when he loses the argument. > >>want to argue? > >[ someone said that Mr BiG was back on list ]. > >john _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 I like to take a single issue (like milk). After they have been bored with that monologue for 5 min and if they believe you that cows are just like a human woman and only produce milk after giving birth - they don't want to hear anymore. It suffice for them to give up dairy and by implication meat...if they are bright enough to 'gettit' that is! I wonder if John argument is too high brow for today's student population. BTW there are some great posters up around our uni called the 'pleasure pain' theory which have a person scoffing chicken leg and then behind them several pictures of slaughter houses etc. They are by a student here. I'll get 'em on the list!!! If any students was to order copies then I'll find out more!
