It solves the problem of not allowing them to use suckers like you to manipulate everyone else to doing what he wants.
If I had to rely on that much hyperbole to make the point, I'd reconsider my position, myself.
It's obvious that's what's happening. Vegans are coming out in droves arguing people shouldn't ever be put in jail simply because SBF is a vegan and they care more about their own than anyone else. They're circling the wagons around this guy, and they never considered that he could just be lying, exaggerating or purposefully playing to them to get them to do exactly what they're doing.
What they're doing isn't accomplishing any good. Neither are you when you defend them. All it's causing is discord.
No, people just have a principle and are applying it evenly. Even if he's lying about being vegan, there's not really a downside to giving him vegan food. It seems as if your argument rests on some notion that it hurts everyone's ego or pride or something to grant this request, because it certainly doesn't make a material difference to any of us. And you're seriously misreading people's arguments in this thread. Did your wife leave you for a vegan or something?
No, they really are doing nothing but aiding and abetting a con man because he appealed to their pet issue to get them to do it. He already has a vegan option, it's called a PBJ. Part of being in jail means you don't get the choices you'd get out on the outside, and part of life in jail is accepting that. If he didn't want to suffer, he shouldn't have stolen billions from innocent people -- or at least went so far as to steal from other rich people.
You're just not listening because you, yourself likely are a vegan. And you don't want to admit you're getting played.
By the same token you'd say someone doesn't get the choice to drink clean water or piss in a real toilet. You have the right to follow an obviously extant and relatively mainstream philosophy such as veganism when you're detained and it's not aiding and abetting or being played to just give him some potatoes or something. In fact you've made me laugh.
he hasn't been convicted of anything.
no one said that. you're making that up.
You're literally the guy who said you don't believe in rights but think people in jail should still be able to be vegan, and to another guy you admitted you don't know what should be done with people if there is no jail. You even went so far as to defend revenge while the rest of your little gang of trolls accused everyone else of being subhuman, violent, bloodthirsty savages for even thinking other people deserve to be punished. Other people of your little tribe or whatever were even arguing with CSA survivors because of it.
You need to sit down and drink yourself a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up. And take the other awful jackasses of yours out with you.
who is in my gang? do we get tattoos? what color bandanas?
i'm not responsible for what anyone else does.
