While I hate to defend Dan Savage, that letter is stupid.

False Equivalancyies 101 called, they need their textbook back.

PROTIP: I can't speel equivalancies correctly.

Argh. Why do people like this have to open their big mouths?

finally! somebody is standing up for the oppression vegans deal with on a daily basis. When I think of how hard it is to be vegan, and what those poor upper-middle-class white people have to deal with on a daily basis. it's almost as bad as what people who don't eat gluten have to deal with. what a cruel world

The reason that this vegan has such an issue is due to an obvious vitamin deficiency. This illness can be quickly resolved by wearing leather and eating a steak.

Where's my Vegan Pride Parade?!

SALAD is right. For someone who decides to become a vegan, it -if by "it" he means "how food tastes"- does not get better.

Vegans make me laugh.

You dumbass.

Way to make things FAR worse. Now everybody who reads this letter will think that vegans are whack jobs and that if you make a dumb remark about them they'll send you nasty emails and compare their "oppression" to that of the civil rights movement.

You imbecile. Get a sense of humor. If you haven't gotten used to people making dumb remarks about your alternative lifestyle by now then you're hopeless.

Ladies and gentlemen, this asshat is not an accurate representation of a vegan.

He is, however, a very accurate representation of a moron.

actually, the whole 'pity me for I am a martyr without a sense of humor' seems pretty much on track with most of the vegans i've met.

speaking of sense of humor, i once had a vegan tell me beer was not vegan because of the yeast.
12
@douchey: Beer isn't vegan due to the isanglass. But whatever.
13
i was about to retort, 'but don't some breweries use irish moss instead?'. but it looks like: 1) not all beer is made with isinglass 2) although they appear to perform similar functions (clear your beer) they are in fact used differently for different things 3) perhaps your beer was made with both 4) i've only made myself look like half a dumb shit (maybe 1/4) whereas the vegan who wouldn't drink the yeast was still 3/4 dumbshit. Graham if you'd settle for 1/8 dumb shit then i'm bad at math and we have more than a whole. But can you dig half a hole?

Points deducted for not starting the e-mail with "As a vegan, I..."

1. Lots of beers are vegan. Do a little research.
2. This emailer is an idiot who's making things worse for vegans. There are annoying idiots in pretty much every group, so let's all get off our high horse. Lots of vegans work hard to put the lie to stereotypes but there's still a lot of work to be done.

Oh good heavens. If you are going to stand up for what you believe in, please don't nick name yourself "SALADS". Second there isn't a reason to get into a debate if you are going to take the opinions of others so personally. Dan's a jack ass, and you would have known that if you had read any of his others blogs (sorry Dan). He's inappropriately bold with his opinions, straight forward and maybe just a wee bit prejudiced, I guess that makes him just like the rest of us huh. Funny thing SALADS, they chose for Dan to be blog writer not you. Even the real vegans wont own you, that must suck. I think the real issue is your jealousy over the fact that he has a platform to tell people what he thinks and you have a little stepstool. In fact I bet your a little pissed off he turned around and humiliated you by posting your grammatically incorrect childs rant on the web, this shit never disappers.

Oh and let us not miss the chance to call this jack ass out for his terrible behaviour. How did you think that was going to help make your point clear? By begining your email with the most aggressive, violent, revolting joke I have ever heard, to get under Dan's skin. I'm suprised he didn't write you a response that you truly deserved, like inserting said bar stool up your butt, actually down your throat would be better, then we don't have to hear you snivel that your oppression is worse then anothers. You should be banned from posting.. no like posting on the web, anywhere, ever again. It is people like you SALADS that reinforce negative stereo types for others. People like you who partake in slander slinging, character attacking and general lowly forms of argument and debate, should be automatically denied the opportunity to respond to healthy debates. Get an education, become informed. You are quite possibly the most arrogant, ignorant, high handed, belittling, demeaning, devaluing, debasing human being i have ever had the torture of reading from. Dan, my class at PSU "Marriage & Intimacy" frequently reads your articles. Not only do we use them to discuss the sociological aspects of relationships, but your just a plain good read. Don't listen to this jack ass, he didn't get his eggs "sunny side up" this morning.

Isinglass sounds like a realm in one of them Hobbit books.

You dumbass.

Please wait...
