'The word "veganism" denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.'

The logic is that buying animals products ultimately promotes the intensive farming and mistreatment of animals, so therefore they opt out. Using a product that was created by natural deaths millions of years before the person was even born is hardly in the same spirit of things.

If you accept that humans have rights because of some percieved moral value, it is surely unacceptable not to ascribe the same rights to all animals (since there is no way you can say an animals life is worth less than a humans, without having made some arbitrary decision).
Therefore, "Meat Is Murder".
Fine so far? (I know I've just disproved my point... but only from the point of view of a pre-existing moral framework.)
So, now, let use examine what 'rights' really are:
All 'rights' (human, animal, or otherwise) are an illusion perpetuated by the mass consensus of society.
You may wish to say "God tells us this..." or "science/sociology says this..." and use some sort of logic to justify the rights that you believe in. However, when it comes down to it, rights either DO NOT EXIST at all, or they are formed from the weight of consensus.
In the first case (rights do not exist), veganism is therefore shown to be irrelevant (along with all forms of religion, etc).
In the second case, veganism is wrong (as most of society do not support it).

Yes... it could be applied to a lot of things...
However Veganism is not "unthinkably vital". General consensus has not reached the point where its momentum forces changes in animal rights legislation.
It hasn't even reached that point for the homeless, poor and sick.
So, no its not a specific objection to Veganism. Its an objection to people wasting their (and others) time with a belief system that is fundamentally at odds with the nature of the world.

Presumably they get more enjoyment from abiding by their moral view of the world than they would from eating a bit of meat now and then, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Equality is another horrible illusion. I'm all for advancement based on utilitarian merit, not on some arbitrary government declaration.
Eg. If some total tard gets a job instead of me, because targets for racial equality need to be met, I would consider that to be a disgrace.
Free health care I'm not fussed either way about. Ultimately, its probably a lot more efficient for health to operate in the private sector, but I respect the utilitarian arguments in favour of public health, as the health of a countries economy is directly linked to the health of its populous.

For a start you have to believe there's such a thing as a 'nature of the world', which while any misanthrope will tell you is a harsh unchangable and self destructive place, is ultimately an incredibly complex system which can alter radically from inane and tiny things.
The major problem is that with the development of the human race the size of groups that people are capable of cooperating with has not increased at the same rate as the global population has, though to abandon or criticise any attempts to years from now overcome or rectify this is ultimately just jaded.
Presuming you're an athiest then you are realistically just wasting your time between your birth and death, whether you hope or feel you have achieved anything is irrelevent and all the time you have spent will be eradicated and meaningless when you die.
So then why not blow the top of your head off instead of wasting time on something which will achieve nothing?

Yes... everyone is wasting their time between birth and death.
I guess it all really depends on whether you wish to waste that time getting uppity on behalf of a bunch of creatures that couldn't and wouldn't thankyou for it (even if they knew about it and were capable of understanding), or whether you instead choose to waste that time by enjoying eating said creatures.
The reason I haven't committed suicide is simple; it doesn't sound like much fun. Ultimately, the passage of time throughout my life might be insignificant and meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe, but whilst I am enduring it, I may aswell enjoy what I can.
I guess I just don't understand the mindset of anyone who would prefer to spend that time doing unenjoyable thankless stuff, only for it to turn out to be just as insignificant and meaningless as the life of someone who had a hell of a lot of fun.

And while you may seem enthralled by transient physical enjoyment, that's just your brain pumped full of chemicals I couldn't even name telling the fragile human psychological profile that things are good. Doesn't mean shit all.
If you want to take individual human perception and psychology as a given rather than take the bleak path, then you can't really argue they are living pointlessly because it obviously gives them a great deal of pleasure and fulfillment. In which case it can't be said to be more of a waste of time than enjoying yourself on the path of least resistance because ultimately none of these mean anything when it comes to life and death, but they can both still make the person feel like they have come to terms with and lived whatever concept of life they have. And if personal experience is what matters then their choice of life is no more or less meaningless.

Yes, I do enjoy transient physical enjoyment. But since all things are transient, and all enjoyment is based upon the physical interactions of brain chemicals, what other kind of enjoyment is there?
You're right tho - there is nothing more or less meaningless in veganism than in anything else. I'll concede that.

we don't all have the same moral values or attribute rights to things in the same way.
What is the problem with someone calling themselves a vegan and deciding that according to their moral views, harm to animals to should be minimised?
Yes, the weight on consensus forms the framework of 'rights' in a legal sense, but while we have to follow them, we don't have to agree with them and they aren't intrinsically 'right' and other views 'wrong'

Is not merely choosing the quickest and easiest option directly ahead of you.
It is choosing the quickest and easiest SET of options, looking ahead as much as is possible and relevant.
You cook, as you are looking ahead to some point in the future, where having had a more nutritious meal, or more cash in your pocket, will benefit you. Or indeed, the greater level of satisfaction obtained from the meal will relax you, leaving you better rested later on down the path.
You hold the door open, as you will be percieved as polite and attentive, being as you are aware that people who just barge on through end up looking like tosspots.

It is choosing the quickest and easiest SET of options, looking ahead as much as is possible and relevant.
You cook, as you are looking ahead to some point in the future, where having had a more nutritious meal, or more cash in your pocket, will benefit you. Or indeed, the greater level of satisfaction obtained from the meal will relax you, leaving you better rested later on down the path.
You hold the door open, as you will be percieved as polite and attentive, being as you are aware that people who just barge on through end up looking like tosspots.
OMG. I've done sod all work today. I think I'm gonna have to leave this debate (its kind of at a deadlock anyway), but I very much enjoyed it!

Can they honestly say that no animals have ever been harmed to produce everything they own and eat? No, so they should just STFU and enjoy eating the tasty meat.

They can be vegetarians if they like, but they shouldn't call themselves vegans.

why can they not use manure to grow their crops? It's a waste product and doesn't harm or affect the animal by taking it.
I think it's a bit strange to say 'you're not a perfect vegan, so you may as well eat meat'
Seems like telling a Christian that since they've broken one commandment, they may as well start murdering people.

There was plenty of animal byproducts that went into making that bread.
Diesel for the transportation,
Butter in the recipe,
Yeast - which are fungi and more related to animals than plants.

But the point is:
that the whole objective of Veganism is obviated by the simple fact that it is impossible to conform to it 100%, and the fact that any attempt to do so would be ludicrous.
Anyway. I don't really strongly oppose anything... to do so is a horrible waste of time that could have been spent enjoying something that I do like. Like steak.

Though that's scarcely reason to abandon everything and start murdering babies. Just because you can't realistically apply to something fully, doesn't mean you should abandon the intent and what you hoped to achieve in the first place.

Also, I think the argument for animals being 'special' in veganism is to do with the capacity for emotions, which I'm not sure has been demonstrated in mushrooms yet.
Plus, I've never used butter to make bread.

run a batten around your 3 wall sides and one in front then you make your shelf that has a top, bottom and face and slide it over your batons then fix. It looks like a solid block of timber with no visible fixing or support.
If you want them totally floating ( not attached at the ends ) which looks a lot better then it is a similar process and easy to do.
