Words are all you have. The only way in which you make sacrifices are with the words you use. You have criticized me, plenty of times, for things I have said. You are a politically correct pussy in that regard. But you're not consistent. You utilize a double standard that favors you every time. One day, you'll yell at me for something I said. The next, you'll say something that's essentially the same thing, but you said it, and that makes it okay, because you, according to you, are perfect.
It got to the point where, when you would criticize me for something I said, I'd remind you that I haven't spent any money on meat, milk, or eggs since 2002. I refuse to support the ultra-cruel meat industry, the slaughterhouse. "That has nothing to do with it," you'd respond. Oh, but it does. You say that because you eat meat. You care much more about yourself than the animals you're eating. When you buy meat, you're paying people to keep animals in concentration-camp-like conditions. You're paying them to kill the animals too. That is much, much, much, much, much worse than anything I can say. What would you rather deal with? Someone saying something that you don't like or being put into a concentration camp to suffer until you're murdered?
Then there's another one of my major issues: procreation. I've never brought someone into this wicked world, but you have. You have a beautiful young daughter. You have put photos of her, wearing yoga pants, on Facebook. Did it ever occur to you that perverts might be drooling over those pictures? Did it ever occur to you that some of them might stalk her? I don't care if that's what everybody else is doing; I think it's incredibly stupid. Now she's off to college. Have you ever seen the documentary The Hunting Ground? It's about the huge problem of rape on college campuses. Have you told her about the date-rape drug, Rohypnol? She should know about these things.
I haven't eaten exactly what I want to since 2002. I've never experienced the joy of holding my own child, because I refuse to bring anyone into this incredibly violent world of pain, misery, and death. The only sacrifices you make involve not saying certain words. That's nothing.
