Currently i know alot of vegans, now they are also getting to annoy me, because i cant have my meat eating opinion and their opinion keeps getting forced upon me, they try to convert me every day, now in my eyes this is wrong, converting people is completely wrong, as soon as i sat "am off home now yum yum beef curry," i get met with incensitive etc comments.
Anyways this sint the nature of my debate, but the things i try and inform them about why the things that they are doing isnt completely "innocent" they just wont believe me.
This debate is about renewable sources vs non renewable.
Now one of my friends has thrown all of his "animal product" clothes into the bin and is replacing his entire wardrobe with synthetic materials, namely polythene, nylon and other synthetics. He believes this is ok because no cows etc died for his clothing.
BUT this isnt neccisarily true is it? NO.
Heres why: Synthetic materials are made in long complex processes using oil, yes that ever depleting non renewable source.
So where he will refuse to buy a garment made from a renewable source, he will buy loads of clothes made from oil in the first stage of the porcess, This is bad because he seems to firmly believe that it is ok to take resources away from the planet itself, resources which took trillions of years in long and complicated processes which due to geographical processes, it will not ever happen again on our planet, so these resources are getting ever more diminished, we will see the end of oil in our lifetime.
Also to refine this oil, thousands of tonnes of smoke a day are pumped into our atmosphere building up toxic chemicals in the air we breathe ourselves.
To transport this oil, we need MASSIVE ships dedicated to the transportation of oil, these themselves use up rediculous amounts of fuel, and put pollutants into the sea. And every once in a while, one of these ships will crash, sending hundreds of thousands of crude oil into thousands of miles of the environment, killing countless thousands of animals, in slow and painful ways.
So between all of the stages of sucking oil away from the earth, transporting it, refining it and creating it into non-animal clothing, MUCH more pollution has actually made it into the planet, more animals have been killed and the earth itself has become irreparably damaged.
But to my friend this is ok, because a cute furry animal "didnt" get hurt
Now im not coming onto here to raise arguments and tell people that they are wrong, i came here to ask this debate and see what the opinions of others are because in the eyes of my earth polluting vegan friend, he can never be wrong. just because he doesnt chow down on a bit of meat.
In the circumstance of my friend, he would rather burn up precious natural non-renewable sources, rather than wear a garment made from a renewable plentiful source.
Cows dont do anything, sheep dont do anything, they reproduce as we well know, they are just a renewable source of many things.
Pls debate with me and not just cast dispersions like my "friends" all seem to.
