- eru 10y agoThat doesn't have too mean too much, if the general population of vegetarians is fairly small. It might mean a lot, though. But it doesn't diminish moral reasons to stay vegetarian.

- CapitalistCartr 10y agoGroup exercising is a hallmark of militaries across time and space. It doesn't make a gymnasium into a military post.
- scandox 10y agoIndustrial scale killing and angry self justification are the hallmarks of totalitarian regimes. I do eat meat, but the immorality of it is obvious.
