In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

When we are supporting others in asking themselves that question, and giving perspective and information thereof, we do well.

When we ask the question of others, or of what we think others should or shouldn't "realize", we begin to slide down the slope into argument rather than relaying answers to the clear question you have written above.

In my opinion, this is how I see the semantics playing out commonly.

The same could be true of any topic. But as I've said previously on this thread, each person is free to read this thread, or not read it, as they wish. If they choose to venture into a thread on any given topic, then on some level they are choosing to hear the opinions of others, on that particular topic.

If vegetarians infiltrated threads about, say, crop circles or UFO's, that would be inappropriate. But this is a thread about...eating meat!
