The Vegan Thread

Surely it is impossible to even have a discussion about this when the right to the moral high ground has been so effectively abrogated?

The pre-emptive calling of moral authority seems to be a vegan version of manifest destiny, the implication being that anyone who chooses to drink milk is so morally bankrupt that they cannot even begin to understand how wrong, stupid and possibly evil they actually are.

Your stance does not allow for a discussion as you are 100% convinced of your own position and consider it to be infallible.

I should add that ethics isn't such an absolute discipline as comes across here. Being convinced of a moral stance (a) doesn't mean that discussion is impossible (just look at Socrates and his love of dialogue--but discussing these things properly certainly isn't easy) and (b) it does not involve aggressively judging others.

No-one can claim 'the moral high ground'--we all do what we can.
