When I was living alone I ate mostly vegetarian because of the price of meat. I do enjoy the taste of meat but I think it's a lot better for the environment/your health/your wallet to eat vegetarian.

For you see, gentle reader, I am reliably informed that the edible flesh of asylum seeker takes on quite an agreeable taste when prepared in a rendang, or a satay, or several other marinades native to Southeast Asia.

I therefore offer that the offshore processing of asylum seekers for sustenance and profit has several distinct advantages for the refugees concerned and the common wealth.

Asylum seekers will appreciate their time being pampered and fatted before they are utilised with all the kindness and gentleness required to maintain the highest standards of flavour and succulence. Surely this is a much preferable end than the certain horrors of drowning, or being dashed against rocks, or suffocated belowdecks.

There can be no doubt that consumers will also benefit from this arrangement, having access to flavoursome and nutritious sustenance at a reasonable price.

It is well known that the Japanese have a taste for exotic sea-meats. To this end I propose that Japanese whaling fleets be licensed (for a fee) to operate in the waters between Indonesia and Christmas Island to save the boat people from an even more unpleasant end, and to extract some utility from their plight. It is my further hope that this new delicacy would displace to some extent their hunger for whale meat, and that cetacean would become rarer on the menus of Tokyo and Osaka, thus assisting our efforts to save the lives of the noble giants.

I literally have no idea what the opinions been espoused in the last few pages has been because it's been dickheaded nonsense that is impenetrable to read. It has nothing to do with militant anything. So please keep making false equivalencies when the issue literally has nothing to do with the opinions espoused because iof you can concisely explain what the last several hundred posts have been about that can't be summed up more succinctly with "people have been assholes" you get a prize.

Well the last few pages have been about people saying vegetarianism was dumb and vegetarians are insufferable and then that started a discussion about how relative vegetarianism is good and almost inevitable anyway as far as fighting climate change, and then that started a few side-bars about empathy and animal welfare and we rounded the whole thing off by agreeing that you can't expect the world to go 100% vegetarian (or vegan) but nobody actually does anyway, what's most important is to drastically reduce meat consumption as a society, and some folks have had some pretty good veggie burgers around the place so things are looking on the up and up.

What was it about words in particular that you struggled with. Like should we have swapped over to a more dyslexic-friendly font because I think that's more a client-side issue

The great thing about weaning yourself off meat is that meat is kind of an addiction and once you're on the other side you don't tend to miss it so much. It's super easy to eat meat 24/7 and the cheap protein and fats coming in tell your body it's amazing, but it's kind of the coca cola and salt and vinegar chips of food - once you take a break from it and then come back to it with a clean slate, you feel kind of dirty eating it, emotional/moral burden aside.

I actually eat considerably less meat than I used to, since a) my wife went vegetarian and b) I join the Greens, where EVERY event is catered vegetarian. I eat at least one and generally two vegetarian meals in any given day at this point.

You do realise my "whinge" was about everyone acting like an rear end in a top hat regardless of the topic and you seem to have made this a cause celebrate that it was directed at vegetarianism? It literally had nothing to do with vegetarianism, but then you palmed that off as "oh we're always militant shitposters" and then it became a label of anti-intellectualism... or something. You are incoherent and upset and really angry over that you are a tremendous dickhead. Your politics played no part in this judgment.

Like seriously "I apologise wholeheartedly on behalf of the vegetarian community for not having slogged through tired bogan idiocy with everlasting grace and patience." how loving pious are you when I didn't even mention the politics just that people were behaving like self-righteous dickheads and it was increasingly clear why AusPol suffers so much from a lack of political honesty, intelligence and integrity?

IF you want to be spokes people for anything how about not trying to palm off every criticism as if its a part of a conspiratorial systemic put down. If you want to be a political entity to convince others be one, but if you are going to be an rear end in a top hat then when you get called out on being an rear end in a top hat you can't throw a fit about how "it's always been this way".
