The Vegan Thread

I think Sammyo is a type of Terminator. You know how they just don't stop, and won't die, and keeps coming, and is made of mercury and...

Oh.

How many times have you asked people on here that you are arguing with if they have read the source material/report/legislation itself rather than relying on a second hand account? Let alone one from a Murdoch newspaper.

Will, if you have a point to make, then make it, so far you have not done anything other a bit of name calling,

Now, pea soup recipes?

He's stopped.

Am I on fucking ignore? Mushy pea! 10 posts up!

Lint contains dust mites, so no.

Hey, how do you vegans feel about vaccination?

Don't know. What does it taste like?

Am I on fucking ignore? Mushy pea! 10 posts up!

Look, if you have a point to make then just make it; all you have done so far is a bit of name calling. I don't even know what it is I am supposed to be cooking.

Tsk!
Some people!

Ingredients

8 pints water (vary according to size of pan)
4 sticks of celery
2 large carrots
3 x 250g pkts dried peas (the type you have to soak with a steeping tablet for 24 hours)
4 ham stock cubes or 1 ham shank boiled for three hours and left overnight
Fresh ground pepper
Sea salt

Method

Remember you will need to soak your peas for 24 hours before you need them.
If using a ham shank you will need to simmer it for three hours or so and if possible leave it in the stock overnight. Reduce your water by the amount of stock you have.
You will need a saucepan that is capable of holding at least 8 pints of liquid. Add water to your stock to bring it up to approximately eight pints (depends on size of your pan) or add your stock cubes to water and dissolve by heating.
Rough chop your celery and carrots and add to stock. (Do not add any salt - salt stops the flavour from coming out of the vegetables). Bring to boil and simmer for about an hour.
Drain and rinse your peas which have been soaking and add to pan. Bring liquid in pan back up to level at start of process.
(If using stock cubes taste to see if additional stock cubes might be required)
Bring back to to the boil and simmer for two to three hours with a lid on.
Remove from heat and put through liquidiser. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot with chunks of freshly baked bread.
Serves 12 bowls (why would you need 12 fucking bowlfuls?)

Oh, ignore the ham.

lol

Sorry, I forget, you are never wrong. I mean, sorry, you never admit you are wrong. Same thing really.

Now does anyone have a recipe for Pea soup? seriously, I want to make green pea soup.

Peas

I'm off. Tea's ready.

melanzane alla parmigiana. I'm not veggie, but this stuff is killer.

Veganism is a lifestyle choice, just like religion. It does not need to be protected against discrimination by law. The rest of us shouldn't really have to suffer at the expense of a tiny minority. Why is this government obsessed with making everybody equal, pandering to every minority out there? So nobody hurts their feelings?

Take no notice of Tynan - he/shes just a shit stirrer.

This reall makes no sense. If you are referring to the [true] justified belief approach to what is knowledge then it is (a) out of place here and (b) not equivalent to using the word "epistemic".

AAhhhhhhhHHHahhahhHAHHHHHHHHH !!!

Help !!

I used/use epistemic to refer to ideas that are justifiably held (ie: not whimsical opinion or conjecture), yes it is valid in the context of having my understanding of the very basic nature of the functioning of law shifted (albeit said in sarcasm).

That's not what I meant. I meant that I could convince you that you owe obligations to people. Like an obligation not to stab everyone you pass with a knife.

Agreed. (I only quoted state/society . . . and deliberately left out 'and to each other', but to be clearer I should have left off 'society' too).

But even here it is debatable, we are drifting into reciprocal altruism as a kind of obligation, so on one level at least, yes you are right.

But maybe you don't believe that because you think that the only liberty of any value at all is the right that everyone has to do whatever the fuck they want to other people?

Grrrr . . . . yes, yes . . . . grrrrrrr . . . . that's what I think . . . . grrrrrr

The E&HRC guidance merely proposes that for some people, a persons beliefs about how they perceive the world or how they ethically choose to live can go beyond supernatural powers and encompass other moral/ethical choices which may be just as important.

Right, so leave me alone then !

: )

I'm really sorry to everyone else who must be bored out of their minds by this.

I thought that by engaging, I might persuade someone that the particular piece of legislation was not what some people seemed to think it was.

I think it may be better to stop now.

I was just trying to get over my own view - that there was no need for such things as veganism and non-belief (in something) to be protected under law as there is vanishingly little need for it.

But we seemed to have drifted up a conversational river of shit.

Are you asking me to defend your presumption about me ? Or is this a question ?

I will take it as a question:

A: (How many times) lot's of times.

Now, what was your point ?

You dirty black bastard.

Add the peas first.

Yeah, that's cool. I guess we're not really converging on many issues here, other than that the Equality Bill is good if it lets vegan prisoners eat vegan food.

If I'm being honest, I feel bad for the vegetarian prisoners who are probably going to get stuck with vegan food because the prisons won't be bothered cooking separate meals. So no cheese or eggs for vegetarians for the term of their sentence.

Now that's a deterrent to breaking the law.

Yeah, that's cool. I guess we're not really converging on many issues here . .

I haven't converged for a couple of weeks now.

You are still a communist bastard and probably a bit racist, although you do make a good point about the eggs 'n' cheese thing.

FFS Shut Up ;p

FFS Shut Up ;p

You too, you fucking bastard.

They are both equal, one is no more equal than the other, they both have the same rights under current UK law.
