I made a couple of comments. I wonder if I'll get an actual discussion, or just some troll responses.

Atheism =/= rationality

Trust me, I live in one of the most atheistic countries in the world and it's not incredibly rational.

Today somebody sent me this page saying "and this is why you're a hypocrit":
http://vegetariers.nl/bewust/veelgestel ... instinkers

So this is a page called "Vegetarian Traps", listing all sorts of products that may contain meat products. For example: gelatin in candy and some non-vegetarian E-numbers (additives). Apparently I am a hypocrit because sometimes I might fail to completely avoid animal products.

It's all relative. Try living in Mauritius for a year and I'm sure you will see your county in a more favorable light. This week I had to listen to a bunch of hysterical people go nuts because someone had claimed to have seen a dragon fly over town. I bet that doesn't happen in Holland (except perhaps in Amsterdam).
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Ahahahaha, yes. I still have to respond to you there. I got that Flatland book, btw.

Well, yeah, but these people follow TJ, who makes videos valuing rationality.

Nobody else responded to me on that thread, but this one guy did and started messaging me.

As you can see, I'm quite graceful.

He said he'd check out the forum, so he might be here soon.

TAA is only a tiny bit more rational than the religious lunatics he makes fun of all the time.

I respect his fearless attitude towards stupid and dangerous religions, but he's done a lot of damage by pretending there are valid reasons for eating animals
