I guess I am using the word "press" in the wrong context. Because I don't know how I can make this any clearer. I am not telling anyone to respond the way I do (I know it's stupid and ignorant) but it's something I have picked up to purposely piss off people regarding the subject. And it works, judged by all the responses.
When I purposely order a cheeseburger in front of the vegan and continue to talk about how delicious the creature was, I am not encouraging others to do the same. If they do, however, that is their
own action.

I'm not offended that you don't care about facts and others' opinions. You can't make yourself care about something you don't care about. I don't care about everything myself. For example, who the U.S. talk show hosts are isn't important to me.
I am glad, though, to have finally gotten down to the bottom of your reasoning behind defending meat-eating. At first you wrote that "meat is essential." I showed that to be incorrect. Then you changed your statement to "Meat is the best form of protein" (an argument I also blew out of the water). Finally, you stated that you feel "meat is the best and most delicious form of protein for me." I can't argue with that, because it is your opinion and feeling.

Very nice and classy response. I see you are one of the few whom don't let ignorance cloud their judgment and feelings.

I don't understand what you gain out of asserting your opinion without even the slightest regard for how it is received. Sounds to me exactly like what you condemn. Either that, you're you're just wasting energy.

You guys are deriving undertones that do not exist in my post. I am not expecting anyone to accept my opinion. And I am not accepting anyone's either. How would one say this on the internet? "I do it for the lulz"? I don't care about animal rights, and I want to be able to enjoy whatever I please to, without having someone in my face about it. And guess what? If you do (get in my face), I am going to be the biggest ignorant piece-of-**** to you.

Let me ask...why did you even post in here? This is one of the most kept alive threads, and this tells me the people arguing in it are very passionate about their views. From your responses, I can think of no other reason for you posting in here other than you just wanted to piss some people off.

Because I do not care of what a stranger thinks of me? Maybe you should give it a try.
And my first response to the thread was "Meat is murder. But it is essential." I should have probably been less vague on whom it is essential to but hindsight is 20/20.

I may be the "moron" but you're the idiot that lets the "moron" get under your skin.
