Yeah, not really. Feeding 9 billion people is a driver whether it's plants or meat. The meat industry is prone to veganazis and anti-capitalists on ideological grounds and since everything, including a damn listening chair is political, that's why it's on topic always everywhere. Sigh..animal consumption is one of the main drivers of climate change, and therefore on topic everywhere and all the time.
what about oysters? they are animals.
Bivalves and such are grey area, as their sentience is an unsettled empirical matter. You'll get some vegans saying it's okay, and some argue it's not out of the cautionary principal argument. Personally, I don't eat them, but I would say to avoid it if you can, but I don't think it disqualifies you strictly from being a vegan.
Veganism isn't some convenient binary switch, it scales for many people with the level of sentience.
Also while I appreciate Raindog123's comedy and such. Please don't think vegans are some alien race or something. We're as varied as any other group of people. We have our fair share of nutjobs and quacks like any other group. It really is as simply as not using animal products as much as we can avoid it. Otherwise, we go about our day without much thought on it for the most part. Though people seem to perceive us as some sort religion (though when you look at religious baggage in terms of all the requirements, and demands, it's quite a poor comparison entirely).
Let’s all back away from the Religious aspect of this conversation please.
I let this thread get out of control. I had hoped for a better outcome. That’s on me. I have deleted posts that were political or religious.
Wrapped in a religious context. Just Veganism alone without any connection to a Performer/producer/composer is wildly off topic and thread drift.Oh you were serious when you said religious? Who was talking about a religion? The talk was about veganism?

Sigh... sometimes it's best to move on. Moderator is right..Yeah I would honestly contest this heavily if there was such a system of appeals. No one was doing what you seem to be describing, and we were having a talk about the basics respectfully and with all parties explaining themselves. Is there any chance I can get the copy of my posts PM'd to me so I don't have to retype them if I should take the discussion through PM's with them at least?
Close to back on topic?
It's a different kind of chair, but I recently got a Secret Lab Titan XL
Hopefully I'll get more use out of it than the typical office chair which completely falls apart in a few years.
