[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Diana]

That's why I said it's not about discussing the issue but instead converting others to one way of life.

That's offensive, especially coming from you of all people. You should know by now that we don't want to 'convert' anyone to our 'way of life' but are championing the oppressed. There is a HUGE distinction and I know you're smart enough to get it.

...

I think it's a blending of both, because unless one "converts" it goes on and on.

Don't worry Monica, I am well aware that you do this because all of this suffering makes your heart ache. No hard feelings.

I can understand your response to Monica, Minyatur, (though I don't agree that going on and on until there are converts is the only outcome), but what you said above originally is judgmental and adds to the intolerance at this forum for vegetarians. It adds to the ignorance of seeing other sides of things, which, if I know you at all, does not align with your mindset.
