I don't justify not being vegan, and I don't see the problem.  Maybe you start from an animalistic standpoint and I start from a humanistic standpoint.
I am not talking to you any-more. You can't answer simple questions where I don't assume judgement instead simply ask for your position and then you fall back to claim I made a judgement. It seems to me you wanted a cop out instead of actually explaining your views about the topic at hand. If that is the case why did you even create the forum topic if you weren't able to defend not being a vegan?

As I recall, I was just answering your question, if that makes sense. 
This isn't going anywhere if you actually answered my questions instead of doing whatever it is your are doing. I'll try one more time clearly laying my problems with your apathetic side. 

Answer this one:

It will have to die sooner or later, and it would be unnecessarily painful not to swiftly dispatch a critter before you start preparing it. 
You can say the same for humans. Do you not see the problem?

What is your justification for not being a vegan?

No, I did not, and I do not believe it needs to be justified to not be vegan.
What needs to be justified?
Why doesn't it need to be justified? 

I still want an answer for this:
It will have to die sooner or later, and it would be unnecessarily painful not to swiftly dispatch a critter before you start preparing it. 
You can say the same for humans.

Hopefully I'm not coming across disrespectfully.  I'm just not interested in discussing Pro-Life personally, as it doesn't pertain to veganism.  

I am not a vegan.

You are disrespectful because the why is important in discussing why you aren't a vegan. You used your pro-life position to justify not being a vegan.
I will repeat what I said in order to understand why are pro-life for human which does mean you aren't a vegan is specific to the topic the at hand. 
The why is what I want answered which you tried but failed to say why you have this distinction so that it isn't arbitrary here: 
It will have to die sooner or later, and it would be unnecessarily painful not to swiftly dispatch a critter before you start preparing it. 
You can say the same for humans.
Do answer.

@sadolite
I edited my previous post and with that said are you really expecting me to post something that says because of TDS in it?
Yet again you are failing to what I want. That part where I was saying this:
Your link does not say the existence of TDS more so makes the claim the democrats were wrong therefore they have TDS.
Was for the link you gave earlier and even if this is wrong because you are adding in TDS into an article which doesn't even mention it. 

Now I will address what you said since I am courteous and I don't want to be like you.
Even if I agree with what is being said. All it really states is that Trump proves there is a crisis on the border. This is not enough to say in any way that people who disagreed with him have TDS. In order for this to be established it requires a definition then people who had a derangment syndrome when it came to Trump. Your link is a non-sequitur to the topic at hand which you are so admamnt in going back to even though this has nothing to do with TDS. You are basically saying people were wrong about Trump therefore they have TDS without even showing the people who have TDS or proving this people have TDS.

How many more instances would you like me to post that shows he is right about what he is saying? I can go on and on
If Trump is right therefore everyone who is wrong has TDS is far cry from definition used.
Deragnment: Derangement is the state of being mentally ill and unable to think or act in a controlled way.

The burden is on you to provide people at the very minimum people who you claim have TDS then say who they do. You have not fulfill this whatsoever instead using a definition that isn't the agreed upon one. If you think I am cherry picking deragnment then here is another link:

Another one
To cause to be psychotic or otherwise severely mentally unsound.

Another one
completely unable to think clearly or behave in a controlled way, especiallybecause of mental illness:

Merriam Webster to finish off:

Added in more information that was given to me later on. Why are you doing this?
The opinions of Trumps policies before they were implemented are just that opinions based on TDS the results of Trumps policies after they have been implemented are fact proving the TDS opinions to be that of TDS
If this is your standard does Fox & Friends have DDS AKA democrat derangement syndrome because they are using opinions instead of facts?

Your link does not say the existence of TDS more so makes the claim the democrats were wrong therefore they have TDS. That is if I agree with what was said in the article. So if that is your logic if I disagree with something but you are right to I have a derangement syndrome? I want you to answer my questions because it actually is about the topic at hand and also is relevant not just some waffle that doesn't get into the core of it. Like you said 
I find that tedious, boring and ultimately only serves to deflect away from the topic. 
So stop being a hypocrite and use the very stance you accuse me of not following and answer my relevant questions even though I was the one who gave relevant questions and you chose to deflect away from the topic. Here it is:

Can you name me an instance where Trump is correct but since they have "TDS" they are unable to tell the truth?
Such forms of highly emotional reaction could be something akin to the fainting and screaming characterizing American Beatlemania in the 1960s. Unlike the Beatles however, the extreme emotional reaction alleged to characterize TDS is not based on adoration and admiration, but on fear and loathing." 
Do you think the people who have negative feelings about Donald Trump lying about what they are truly feeling or genuinely think this way?
If genuine is it bad to view Trump that way? 
Do quote what I said here as well so I know which one you are specifically addressing.

You didn't answer what I said. Ask me the questions until I think you have answered mine. 
So, I'm still not relating to the question. 
You said you are pro-life as in you want life to live. 
 It will have to die sooner or later, and it would be unnecessarily painful not to swiftly dispatch a critter before you start preparing it. 
You can say the same for humans.

Question was:
How can you be for pro-life when you are for the death of life?

Do also respond to the second thing I quoted from you.

Trump President Because of Russia { see Mueller report }
Your responses about the economy have been proven to be false. Obama has nothing to do with it. You wish he did but cant possibly show that any actions he took as president made it better under Trump.
You didn't answer my questions.
Yet you cling to that like Christians cling to their guns.
Yes they do. It is irrational like their Religion.
The lowering of taxes are responsible for reduced unemployment, greater GDP and increased tax revenues. 
On the back of cutting social security which is required for people who need it.
That kind of spending should have ended poverty as we know it and built a house for every man woman and child in this country. 
Have you ever heard of the financial crisis? 
Is your argument it never occurred or Trump would do different?
Where did all that money go? You gonna tell me Trump stole it?
Don't really know how this relates to what you said earlier.
Yes you do have TDS.
Evidence?
The funny part is he has zero effect on your life, maybe that's the part you hate, not being able to blame someone else for your lot in life and having to look in the mirror and blame that person. 
Evidence? 

Where did you get the information about Obama and guns from me? Just curious because I didn't mention it in my previous comment. 

Why do you have to update your post? Can't you simply add your comment when you are done?
As far as Trump being a failure at Business, He has started and sold 515 businesses with a 96% success rate. All big business loses money a billion dollars is a drop in the bucket over ten years.

Is $1 billions dollars lost not make him a bad businessman? You look at his supposed good and disregard the bad.
What most people that never built a business don’t realize, is that you must fail your way to the top.
Depending on the failure and depending on what you do with the failure. Everything else said in that paragraph was waffle and does not need rebuttal.

Nothing what you said earlier made it clear that it wasn't a contradiction. Try again.
Your stance on pro-life and animal violence is contradictory.
You being for pro-life
I am generally inclined towards Pro-Life.
You being for animal violence
I think everyone should kill an animal for food once in their life, and feel a full respect for its will to live, among other things.

Are you not listening?
Yes I am and my question still stands. So why aren't you showing this breakthrough to scientists?
"Science however, in my opinion, will figure it out one day"

Are you not listening? 
Okay then so why do you believe in it now. A theist can say science will one day prove the existence of God. Doesn't mean it will happen. Shouldn't you wait until you have actual proof for your positions for it to not be irrational?
Are you not listening? 
Yes I am. It is difficult to gauge with what you are saying when you have so much BS inside of it and lacklustre arguments defending your position. Another word for your arguments would be irrational. I am not believing in something I have no proof over.
"Evidence is currently anecdotal" 

Are you not listening? The explanation part i currently don't have a desire to get into with you. 
Anecdotal is not accepted anywhere. For it to be considered evidence it would require more than just a survey.
Lol. 
Am I the irrational one who thinks believing in something before it is proven is rational? No so are you laughing at your failures as a person to me?
This conversation, again not listening on your part, isn't about proof.
Lol.
It's about rationalizing far out future, beyond this reality, possibilities from what we currently know.
How many times do I need to say this? There is one reality not 2 and for you to make that claim would require evidence if you don't want to be irrational. I think you want to be with the last quote I laughed at.
It is not irrational to suspect a metaphysical truth
It is irrational to not have evidence because it is reasonable to do so. You are basically begging the question by saying It is irrational to suspect God as a metaphysical truth which it is. Replace God with spirituality.
I disagree with anyone under the spiritual banner that says they have figured out the truth unless they can prove it. 
Anecdotal evidence is not evidence apart from your feelings. It is not the existence of spirituality nor it can be trusted for such an extraordinary. With this in mind this is hypocritical coming from you.
Disprove spirituality for me please. 
I don't need to since your burden of proof has not been fulfilled. I am not sharing it.
i don't agree. If you look at both from your pov, they're rational bc it's your experience.
Not everyone is rational and for you to say this is a testament to what you incompetent at.
It gets irrational when you assume i look at it the same as you do and somehow i'm proven wrong bc i can't prove that to you. 
You should be looking it at from the same point of view. My basis works and yours doesn't because you can't even defend spirituality with a substantial point.

How about take all the time you want in responding to my comment? I don't want whatever you call your standard when it comes to responding.
My family has had a dog put down too.  It was crippled and had been living for years with cancer or something.  Have you ever heard of the story "old yeller"?
Doesn't answer my questions so I will copy what I want from you here. If you do answer my question then I will answer you question:

How about being "Pro-Life" to animals?
So you are against the death penalty?
How about harming people that break the law?

Why?

Why can't you leave a comment when you have done adding the message? Why do you have to upload the comment then update it afterwards? You have done this consistently for it not to be a problem and it is a problem for me when I had to add another thing I had to respond to. It is not even fixing errors in your writing.

Regulating diet sounds totalitarian.  I was saying that it's a cultural thing in "developed" countries, not a problem of abundance.
So what should be done about it?
How about the people who can't even eat even though there is an abundance of food in developed countries?
What are you referring to, and what side am I on in your view?
Okay then. Simply answer the question and we will find it. That was more of a guess but I think it was reasonable given that you didn't respond and have shown earlier flaws in what you say or what you can't say because you give up defending your own side. Answer this then I will find out if my guess is correct.
I don't internalize it, but yeah.

Pay for your own birth control.  It's not that expensive.  You can buy 6 condoms for $5. 
Contraception is better and more pleasing. I say we should make things in people's life better but guess you are not.
If you can't afford birth control, don't have sex.  It's easy. 
If you can't afford medical related issues go die. Don't worry this has happened. Cut down on the apathy alright.
I've been a virgin my whole life.
If you did have sex then you would have had it with a minor because from the lack of understanding you have shown you seem to be young. 
ASTAP enables helping people by discouraging bad things.  They aren't big taxes either for the most part.
Taxing doesn't help and you have yet to prove it with the tax on smoking. 
If there were citations to the graph you would ask what are the citation's citations.  For some reason, you ask for links and when I provide links, you want links to those links.  If I gave you those, you would ask for more, etc.  
Do you understand what good evidence is? In order to have good evidence it need to be properly sourced. That graph missed that okay. I know you are young but I didn't think you didn't understand what good evidence was. I wanted links to actual evidence not a graph. Do you want me to give you a graph on imgur or do you want a link to a credible site or has links to credible sites? 
I want to note that this is a different graph from the first one. Secondly when was smoking tax or the tax on smoking increased?
They can get insurance.
66.6% of bankruptcy is claimed because of medical related issues. Medical insurance is medical related issues.
I don't believe that the government should subsidize any private company.  If this is trickle down economics, then no.
"Trickle-down economics, also called trickle-down theory, refers to the economic proposition that taxes on businesses and the wealthy in society should be reduced as a means to stimulate business investment in the short term and benefit society at large in the long term."
The person said that the top 10% of drinkers drink 74 beers a week.
Where did they link the source to this statistic? 
I would also like to add that you said poor people wouldn't buy drinks. Nothing in that article stated what you said here:
I imagine rich people are disproportionally more likely to be practicing alcoholics because they can afford it.  

Off topic but still relevant?
How are you for government when you pretty much want to abolish taxes if everyone wasn't sinful?

At the food shelf I volunteer at people tend to be a bit more plump then average.  
So we should regulate bad diets as in pay for people to get better and you think that other food is going to be bought by people who need it? I would like to see this thing that people who have the money but don't buy because of "bit more plump" people.

Any chance of getting a response or do you not like responding to flaws to your side?

If you get your meat in a natural way, like hunting, or maybe locally raising animals, than you don't have to depend so much on the displacement of native habitat, which is an issue of serious consideration in our time with human populations reaching unprecedented levels.
False. There isn't a food shortage. There is an abundance problem. This is called a problem because even when there is an abundance problem with developed countries there are still people in developed countries that do not get fed.

free will
Thats called limited free will ex ...'an airplane pilot has limited amount abilities to will a plane headed toward earth in death spiral dive.'...B Fuller
Any limit on will does not make it free. It is not freedom of speech if there are restrictions. Same applies to will.
The less experience of the pilot then the inherent less degrees-of-freedom { options } available to the pilot.
Less options not freedom. Freedom is to do what you want but that is never ever the case. People abide by laws or rules put upon themselves.
Uncertainty does not neccessitate chaos nor does in validate random disorder i.e. there can only exist order of Universe.
There can be room of uncertainty in an ordered universe but that has remain to be seen. 
The lack of order is only humans inability to find that order.
This in no way answers if we have free will or not.

If you don't want to get shot, arm yourself because the criminal will always have a weapon.
If you don't want to get pregnant but still would like to enjoy sex. Preach to the government about paying for birth control rather then making people pay taxes for things that help enjoy good things without negative consequences afterwards.
The people are insured.  ASTAP shows how they can get insurance paid for with a minimum wage job.
Your tax plan is a joke. We are supposed to help bad people not tax them. You don't understand how to run a country if you value exploiting weakness above helping others.
I don't know why you always want evidence, but the smoking rate is below:

That is not evidence. Where are the citations? I can't accept this because I can easily create this graph. The sources prove the graph not the other way around.
They filed for bankruptcy which means they don't have enough money. This is clearly not a point against people who can't for medical issues since that was the cause of bankruptcy. 
?
If they can't pay for necessary medical related issues how are they supposed to pay for STD treatment? 
So you are for abolishing taxing income?
Yes.
Tell me do you believe in trickle down economics? If so tell me how it has ever been effective with evidence.
It was based off of some research.  I know that it's about 10 drinks a day per person that is in the drunkest tenth of the US population.
It was an anecdote. Do you have actual evidence? One person personal experience is not a good way in saying most people have this are like this.

when others are talking about meat, cows, mammals, and other animals.  I would appreciate keeping to the topic of veganism, if you can tie things in with that.
Humans and animals have ability to feel pain. If we cared about the well-being of lets say our pets then we should also care about other animals that do feel pain. If that someone opposes this argument then that person would pretty much be okay with murder because the person didn't care about them.
Vegans are merciless towards to the plant kingdom, and fungi are the scum between their toes.
Plants don't feel pain. Animals pain. Are you for human torture? If not why are you for animal torture?

Neither does preaching for alternative energy.  My house actually has solar panels.  It works pretty well; $100 gets saved every month.  I'm not telling other people to get panels though.
Yes it does. In order to enact change it must first be brought about. Do you even know what you saying?
In other context you are basically I am not racist because I have a black friend. 
It works on a small scale, and it means that you wouldn't be a hypocrite.
Small scale doesn't matter when the large scale as in the majority use fossil fuels as their energy source.
How does that not make me a hypocrite? I don't understand how I am a hypocrite if I did the other either.
Getting this whole nation to go solar costs trillions of dollars when factoring in the panels, the batteries, and the transport of the electricity.  Given that climate change will only cost humans about $1 trillion, I would rather wait until the technology for solar power gets better for humans to use something like solar.
Getting blacks out of slave owners will costs several of dollars. Given that slavery will only cost human property to people that aren't black. I would rather wait until slavery has a better alternative to do better. That would be your argument if you were consistent.

Climate change is a problem and the American government can in a way switch to better sources of energy than fossil fuels. This can be switching to nuclear energy until renewable is less costly. Fossil fuels is worse than nuclear power.

This is off topic, so I shouldn't respond to this.  If you want to have a gun debate on a forum, make a forum about it.  This forum is about ASTAP.
Not off topic. You don't understand how awful that argument is so tell me am I wrong?
If you don't want to die don't get shot.
They file for bankruptcy for surgeries other then STD treatment.  I imagine to treat an STD, you just have to take some pills, although I might be wrong on this.
Medical issues. If they can't afford necessary medical related issues how do you suppose the are supposed to be pay for less necessary or less immediate treatment? This is on the basis not STD treatment is unccessary so that you argument can actually stand by itself if I was actually being harsh then I would say it is not stretch people who claimed for medical related bankruptcy required money for necessary medical issues since STD treatment is necessary they wouldn't be able to pay for it. So basically even if I concede that STD treatment is not neccessary you don't have an argument. 
The government does something similar with tobacco yet less people smoke.
Evidence?
If alcohol is treated like tobacco, less people would want to drink.  The tax loss would be gradual and can be added on to the adult tax when it happens.
Dependant on if you have evidence.
Not all medical issues are expensive.  I don't know how expensive it is to treat an STD, but if they don't get treated, then eventually every human will have ever STD and humanity would suffer on such a basis.
Non-sequitur. They filed for bankruptcy which means they don't have enough money. This is clearly not a point against people who can't for medical issues since that was the cause of bankruptcy. 
Not on the basis of income, but on the basis of "sins".  If there is a sin tax that rich people are more likely to indulge in, that is tecnecally a tax on the rich, but not because they are rich.
So you are for abolishing taxing income?
So you the government should be in the business of taxing people on bad actions not helping them?
Your claim:
The typical alcoholic drinks like 10 beers a day, so that would cost about $20 a day from that alone.  How can poor people afford that with all their other expenses?
Was supported by that link 
which is based on an anecdote. Am I correct? If so do you have actual evidence?

Just want to add more.
If you want to fix the environment, get solar panels.
Me getting solar panels doesn't stop climate change or environmental problems at a large scale. Even if I decide to get solar panels many other people are not using renewable more environmentally friendly power so basically my approach does not matter on a large scale. The government producing more renewable energy is more help to the country then a person who isn't in the government could ever could. It is like saying to ants if you want to live don't get stepped on.

Trump President Because of Russia { see Mueller report }
-->
@sadolite
"Many have argued that some people have been seriously disturbed and distressed by the policies, speech, behavior and tweets of President Trump, so much so that it has affected their cognitive, affective and behavioral functioning."

So just questions I would like to give before I give something else.

Can you name me an instance where Trump is correct but since they have "TDS" they are unable to tell the truth?

Such forms of highly emotional reaction could be something akin to the fainting and screaming characterizing American Beatlemania in the 1960s. Unlike the Beatles however, the extreme emotional reaction alleged to characterize TDS is not based on adoration and admiration, but on fear and loathing." 
Do you think the people who have negative feelings about Donald Trump lying about what they are truly feeling or genuinely think this way?
If genuine is it bad to view Trump that way?

Bioshock 1
Prey does the game better. The setting is what I think still carries it. 
Deadrising
Looks fun but never played it.
TF2
Great game. Wasn't there when it was popular like with DDO. I think I have to find more examples to call this a trend.
Fallout 1
I did like 1 more than 2 but New Vegas is my personal best.
Persona 5
Haven't played it but have played through Persona 4.

If you don't want kids, don't have sex.
If you don't want to die. Don't get shot. Care to explain how gun laws are not necessary?
Then they save up to get treatment.  I imagine it's very cheap compared to $200/year.
People claim bankruptcy for a necessity like medical and you think they can save up for this?
I asked another question
Are you on assumption that people just have STD's just because of some sick joke?
So
To an extent, yes. 
What makes you so sure that the government won't take it a step further and not help people with alcohol almost make like a tax loop that assures them a consistent supply of taxes?
There also will be people that quit alcohol consumption due to the taxes.  It's not a big tax either.
Evidence that taxes will stop people from doing things? Preferably something similar to alcohol.
Those are for surgeries that are very expensive.  Just getting an STD treated I imagine costs very little money.  Once STDs are eradicated, then humanity can enjoy sex more since there is less incentive to enforce abstinence.
STD is a medical issue. If the person files for bankruptcy due to medical issues who can you say they can pay for it?
This always happen with you. It is like a brick wall in your brain. You can't more about the position you hold and simply parrot the same thing again as if you somehow rebutted my claims. I get the same thing from people like Mopac.
I imagine rich people are disproportionally more likely to be practicing alcoholics because they can afford it.  
So you are for taxing the rich?
The typical alcoholic drinks like 10 beers a day, so that would cost about $20 a day from that alone.  How can poor people afford that with all their other expenses?
Where are you getting these numbers from?

I have evidence. You keep saying no evidence.
So why aren't you showing this breakthrough to scientists?
"Scientists" don't know how to find spiritual evidence through the scientific method. 
False. Science is used to observe the material world. Everything from immaterial like abstracts and dreams can be traced to a material element like the brain. To say scientists cannot find a common link between spiritual experiences is a way you are dodging actually trying to understand that there is no evidence for such a thing. 
Therefore, i don't have a scientific way of providing evidence... but, if i have experienced object manipulation, strong premonitions, etc. all of them consistent and that have repeated throughout my life... then i have evidence.
Your evidence is a joke compared to standards that science has. It is like me saying I have a consistently get my answers listened to by God. You and the theist would be like I have evidence even though both of you use personal experience as a form of evidence which it isn't. That is subjective. In order for it to be objective it needs to go through a standard which is deemed reliable AKA science. You throw science out because that goes against spirituality and if spirituality did exist science would find a link to it with what is observable in the material realm. It isn't the case.
You're the one being irrational assuming you know 7 billion people plus, plus... don't have any evidence. How do you know? It's the height of arrogance for you to think our present day methods and knowledge is far enough to provide "you" proof (hard evidence).
Do tell me what you meant here. I didn't understand.
If you can't get beyond this fact... you are both irrational and narrow-minded. There's nothing else i can do... you are what you are. Continues proving me right about the movie angle, i don't care how far you can push yourself beyond that. 
The person with an irrational belief calls the other person irrational. Isn't it hypocritical coming from you? 

I like how you dodged the core of my response here. Really does go to show you are not here to actually help me understand how you got to that positions you are here to confirm your biases. I asked you for a simple standard claim, evidence and explanation and you can't even manage that. Any chance you are actually willing to be rational instead of being irrational and narrow-minded? You are being a hypocrite for using those two words against me. 
Can you not answer this? Everything else i wrote you are throwing out the window... when i have used my experiences, observations and attained knowledge to come up with rational explanations... you throw them out the window (on top of all the other frivolous talking points). What makes you rational? Do you even know?
I have a standard which I use for my beliefs. A claim supported by evidence with an explanation. If that is not met then whatever the person said can be considered irrational. There are some exceptions but those are few and far between. One example would be the impact of automation. Spirituality does not fall into that category.

You have made clear that you are not here to have a rational conversation. If you are rational you would be able to prove the existence of spirituality. As in the claim is spirituality exists. This is supported by X. This means X. Can you do that or am I being to rational?

Don't act like I was the one who started this kind of mood. You were being a hypocrite when using the very labels you associate with by projecting it on me (irrational and narrow-minded).

I don't think the government should be paying for it.
If the government pays for it then they wouldn't even need to discourage against people who are not ready to have children or would be at risk of children without birth control.
If people are taxed for having an STD, they would want treatment more in order to avoid paying the tax.
What if they can't pay for it?
Are you on assumption that people just have STD's just because of some sick joke?
There should be an exception for non treatable STDs, but spreading those by having sex should be more punishable.  I think people can afford treatment.
If it wasn't clear already looking at the data 66.5 percent of bankruptcies are filed under medical issues. You thought is not really realistic.
If that happens, then it's a reliable source of income.
So you are for exploiting weaknesses in humans?
Besides, aren't rich people more likely to be addicted to alcohol, so it's basically a tax on them for the most part. 
You pretty much stated rich people are not likely to get addicted to alcohol which would mean they drink it very little so your argument for taxing rich people that buy alcohol would not generate money if you claims are correct.
Poor people can't afford to get drunk.
Alcohol is cheap therefore the poor can afford to get drunk. 
I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.
If you punish (insert behavior), you get less of it.
This is not evidence.

I do have a rape tax because rape is evil. 
How about a violence tax?
Any illegal law broken tax?
I have an unintended pregnancy tax to discourage people from having premarital sex.
Birth control is better for that than a tax. 
I have an STD tax to encourage more people to get their STDs treated.
Taxation only encourages people to pay the taxes in order to not get jail time. Everything else is wishful thinking. It is like saying I want to tax the poor to encourage them to be wealthier in the future. It just doesn't work like that.
Alcohol should be discouraged with a tax
People who are addicted with that substance simply will pay more for it. Addiction is the problem with alcohol not the cheap prices and taxation is not going to stop people from buying things they are addicted to.
The adultery tax is supposed to discourage non consenting adultery.  Adultery breaks families apart.
I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.
Example:
This source states X
In A country a taxation on B stopped people to not do bad condition C.

How is this going to fix the tax system and can you tell me with every single tax you stated how it is fair and what would happen if you do get your way?

@Goldtop
At this point I think you have such a grudge that it is clouding what bsh1 actually said.
You said:
To say that you provide "the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and consistency possible" is laughable.
Which is different from what was actually said which is:
Moderation always tries to achieve the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and consistency possible.
As in aim not meet the standard implied by what you said. If you dislike the moderators so much you are willing to cherry-pick what was actually said why aren't you at the other forum site you claimed to say earlier on that was better than the this one?

I could have sent it privately, but since the mods were asking for feedback, I figured I could tell them this way.  Most of my votes were tie votes, which the mods say don't need a RFD.
It is feedback on moderation. I doubt it would include your voting privileges. It is best to speak to them directly as in direct message.
No.
Okay.

Yes you most definitly correct with you rational, logical common sense reply to D-Pirate{?} regarding violent sports.  Humans consent to beating on each other in sports. If its to hot get out of the kitchen.  Other animals do not consent violence on each other as in sport.

Fuller talks about how were breeding { evolving } the next level of non-thinking humans via boxers who beat each others thinking brain to a pulp. Then there is all the money and kind of thinking behind this stupidity.
Thanks.
