  1. "Vegans are single tho" is the ad hominem fallacy ("to the person" in Latin). But putting that aside, of course many vegans are probably single—they prefer to date other vegans. Vegans are an extreme minority. As a vegan myself, the last vegan I dated ended up not being compatible with me for a long-term relationship. Veganism is about doing what is ethically right, not what is comfortable, convenient, habitual, traditional, or enjoyable.
  2. Nonvegan excuses for not living vegan are wonderful examples for learning many logical fallacies.
  3. It totally exists, but there's no way to back it up with any substantive evidence!
  4. Address the video. I don't care about your claim at all. Child molesters are child molesters.
  5. But you didn't back up your opinion with anything. You're just being emotional, like the fella who lost the debate in the video.
  6. It's really good y'all! You won't regret it. Maybe you'll change your minds!
  7. I asked Grok to create this response for you: "I hear your concern about reports of children being molested in ICE custody, and it’s completely valid to feel disturbed by that. The truth is, these incidents aren’t isolated to ICE; they reflect a deeper pattern that shows up wherever vulnerable children are held under the authority of adults in closed systems. The same kinds of abuse have surfaced in juvenile detention centers, foster care facilities, religious institutions, schools, and even sports programs. The common thread isn’t one agency or political side; it’s the combination of power imbalance, limited oversight, and the silencing effect of fear or dependency. When we zoom out and look at the bigger picture, we see that any environment where adults have unsupervised access to traumatized or powerless kids creates fertile ground for harm. That doesn’t mean every staff member is dangerous, but it does mean the system itself needs safeguards that assume some people will exploit opportunity. Critical thinking helps us here: instead of getting stuck on blaming one group, we can ask what structural conditions enable abuse and what proven measures—like cameras, independent audits, and safe reporting channels—actually reduce it across the board. Your instinct to care about these children is the starting point. From there, the real work is staying open to evidence, questioning narratives from all sides, and pushing for accountability that protects kids no matter where they are. That broader awareness turns personal outrage into wiser action."
  8. “Even if you think that any and all human rights issues are more important than the issue of animal exploitation, you have to eat while you are fighting for those great causes. How does eating, for example, tofu instead of steak impede your ability to fight for human rights causes? It doesn’t. If anything, a healthy vegan diet will give you more energy to pursue those causes.” - Gary L. Francione
  9. "The problem with white abolition of human slavery."
  10. Thanks for deleting your insults / name-calling. I love you too.
  11. Good, but his death shouldn't be celebrated. Legally I support anyone's right to celebrate anyone's death, but morally it's sick and wrong to celebrate or brush off Charlie's death like it's nothing. I think anyone who carelessly leaves a country's border open to allow illegal immigrants into the country should be severely punished. It's not difficult to find controversial or uncomfortable opinions from any major influencer's past, especially if they are honest and transparent. I would argue it's best to express your honest and controversial opinions to others in order to really feel through them and get the feedback you need to refine yourself and your beliefs.
  12. Does having what you'd consider bad or awful opinions justify public execution (right in front of one's family)?
  13. There's an enormous moral difference between arguing for the public execution of certain heinous criminals vs being a man killed in front of his family for expressing non-violent opinions shared by myself and a significant percentage of America who had enough common sense to vote for Donny T.
