Respecting someone inflicting suffering-damn veggies know how to make a
meat eater feel guilty. Guess what, I will still eat meat. Respecting

And as regards to "arent plants alive" argument, I didnt bring it up, a
vegetarian who doesnt have the guts to reveal their real name started that
argument.
