Strong arguments


525c

Yes, vegans do have some pretty watertight arguments and yes, we have been known to be full of disapproval of those who disagree.
            Vegans do everyone a favour by NOT dishing out value judgements to win arguments. It makes us seem like moral bullies. If we can dispel that image then a healthy, open, good natured and intelligent interchange can take place. Good heavens, it’s not as if we have weak arguments to support our case! Fireworks aren’t necessary!!
            We are simply dealing with head-in-the-sand problems. Discussion isn’t taking place on this subject. We are (at least, I am) simply trying to encourage an exchange of opinions, without engaging emotionally when an opinion is not the same as our (my) own.
