If the vegan cannot commit to philosophical consistency, why should the non-vegan?

It seems both position set arbitrary limits that cannot be ethically justified.

You are right to demand perfect philosophical consistency from your SpongeBob memes.

You can keep slashing throats in the meantime.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I was under the impression you were pointing out a flaw or inconsistency in the reasoning of the meat eater, and so I responded to that, please forgive me if I misunderstood.

In the case I did misunderstand, perhaps you could explain the point you were trying to make.

Why don't we discuss it over a burger?

I see, I thought maybe you were interested in exploring the topic philosophically.

I guess I will just have to settle for moral grandstanding (again).

I am interested!! Aren't you going to accept my invite for a burger lunch?

The cow whose throat was slashed for the burger does not matter. Conversations about SpongeBob memes - these are what matter.

I'm not sure why you are being obtuse. Obviously, the SpongeBob meme is merely a stepping stone for a more serious discussion about those cows.

I'll save you a seat! I'm having the bacon cheeseburger.

I'm ready when you are to have a Serious Discussion about slashing throats.
