  5. @plants4passions V "you did not cite the entire definition." Actually I did. The definition of "vegan" created by the Vegan Society is: vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. "I’m not sure what source you discovered the meanings of veganism but the term vegan has a definition that is much longer than the one you’ve stated here." You're conflating the doctrine of veganism with the definition of vegan as I predicted you would. I will quote myself for you since you seem to have a reading comprehension problem. " If I were to point out that you're not vegan by definition (vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products) you would just recite a cultish doctrine as justification for your blatant use of animal products instead of accepting facts." Remember this? Veganism is a doctrine. "The word veganism shall mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.” - Leslie Cross author of "Veganism Defined" and inventor of the word. Veganism and vegan are different words with different definitions. You are neither vegan nor do you practice veganism. You use animal products intentionally and needlessly that are possible and practicable to avoid. Let me help you with the definition you butchered with your own ignorance. "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose" A philosophy is not the definition of a person. You're not seeking to exclude animal products. You're using them for convenience, hobbies, and entertainment. Please get caught up on the facts before you make so many inane comments.

  45.  @Selaphane  "I'm not the one appealing to futility" Actually, you are. I would quote you but I would rather you just read the inane babble you typed where you were appealing to futility. "I am stating what your argument justifies, that isn't mine." No you're attacking me with strawmen and making things up so I am easier to argue against. "You mentioned how he's a hypocrite and a liar." Because he is. Prove me wrong. "How so?" He lies. He uses animal products which means he is not vegan by definition. He uses animal products which are possible and practicable to avoid intentionally and needlessly which means he doesn't practice veganism. He practices hypocrisy by definition. He tells others they should be vegan while using animal products himself. hypocrisy (noun) - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform "Let's assume a vegan isn't allowed to use modern technology (which is just you moving the goalposts)." Still you. Now you're blaming me for something else I never said. The goal posts are simple. He isn't vegan by definition. He doesn't practice veganism by definition. He literally lies and literally practices hypocrisy. I have not moved any goalposts. "He's still reducing the amount of suffering." And? I didn't say that he didn't. He uses animal products intentionally and needlessly and practices hypocrisy by telling others they should be vegan. "How are you typing these comments on YouTube right now?" With my computer that I am using while never claiming to be vegan. "If anything, you're the hypocrite." Prove your accusation. hypocrisy (noun) - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform Where have I claimed to have moral standards or beliefs to which I do not conform? If you can't prove your accusation I will accept your concession.

  48.  @Selaphane  Two replies? Unable to keep your thoughts together on your diet? "Also, your initial argument was literally already debunked." You already conceded. "You claimed Ed is a hypocrite because he doesn't adhere to the definition of a vegan." Now you're just lying. Are you so upset that you lost that you're making things up now? "I showed you that definition, Ed adheres to it." You showed me a cherry picked definition that isn't the official definition created by the Vegan Society....the one Ed Winters claims to use. "So, explain how somehow I conceded that you are right and I am wrong?" Having reading comprehension problems? I will paste it a second time. Maybe ask a parent for help. "If anything, you're the hypocrite." Prove your accusation. hypocrisy (noun) - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform Where have I claimed to have moral standards or beliefs to which I do not conform? If you can't prove your accusation I will accept your concession. "Prove me wrong that Ed isn't a vegan and you have won your initial argument," He uses the definition created by the Vegan Society. He doesn't use a cherry picked definition used in Oxford Dictionary. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. I win by your own admission. Thanks again for your continuing concession. You will not be getting any more answers as you continue lying and making things up that never happened. Learn how to tell the truth and be objective.

  81.  @BoshSoldierCarp  "you're missing the point about veganism here anyway." "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." It is possible and practicable to stop using youtube's servers. So you're the one missing the point. "It's impossible to eradicate animal suffering it's about limiting it as far as we possibly can." It's possible to stop using youtube's servers which would limit it further as far as you possibly can. "To be a participant in modern life means you need a smartphone etc but we don't need to factory farm or hunt and kill animals to survive." You justify your needless use of animal products other than your smartphone simply by claiming it is needed. You use youtube because you claim you need a smart phone. That is no different than ordering a meat lovers pizza and some chicken wings from the pizza hut app......that's on a smartphone. It's okay because you need a phone tho..... If you eat or use animal products you're not vegan. Fact. If you eat or use animal products that are possible and practicable to avoid then you don't practice veganism. Fact. You can't refute this, therefore you can't refute me. Anything else or are you going to continue to lose a debate to a person you lied about not wanting to debate in the first place? "so I won't even try." Just the same old tired circular arguments FatBox used.

  135.  @frodeverli4852  "I'm not living in a place where you can live without a phone." Not my problem. Move. "I didn't choose where I was born, and it is expected to have it here." Me either. People can move. "It is not practicable to move to a place where I do not need a phone, as my entire family lives in this modern world." Personal choice. "It is therefore necessary for me." Justification for using animal products that you technically don't need to use. You don't need to use youtube's routers and servers to argue with a stranger. "For the same reason, as it needs to be online, I use routers and servers, which are necessary and not possible to avoid in order to get online. " Replying to me is not a necessity. You're justifying hypocrisy again. "Sure you need me to be a hypocrite, otherwise you'd have to look at your own actions." Lie. Already answered. "For example funding a food industry that is legally abusing animals, which you could easily avoid by picking up another product at the store." Then do it. You could easily avoid replying to me by not replying to me. "Big difference to what you're attacking me for." Facts are attacks to hypocrites apparently. "I scrolled and read through all my comments." +1 for you "I never explicitly stated that vegans exist or said that I was one." And yet. "Example of the latter is when you "trap" the vegans, I mean people that practice veganism," " I used a person that practice veganism." No one does that as entertainment and convenience gets in the way. You're here using animal products that are possible and practicable to avoid just to reply to me. No more needs to be said and don't expect any more argumentation from me other than the facts that I will paste to your every response. You use animal products intentionally and needlessly that are possible and practicable to avoid. You're not vegan and you don't practice veganism. You're just another liar and hypocrite who justifies your use of animal products.

  176.  @Selaphane  "The byproduct industry is a secondary result of animal agriculture." You did know factories exist that own their own slaughterhouses who don't even keep the meat right? They exist solely for animal product. Fat btw is used in the products of servers....fat is classified as an animal product and not a byproduct. Just blew your justification away. "If you happen to buy practical products that contain obscure animal byproducts you are not having a big impact funding animal agriculture itself." You're justifications for continued hypocrisy are endless and all irrelevant. You literally use animal products cut from the same dead animals that everyone else uses. "Once again, you fail to see how you're appealing to futility." Once again you're building a strawman so you can project your own appeal to futility. "Just remember that slaughterhouses don't exist to produce the collagen that goes into some adhesives, they exist to produce meat." Actually you're wrong. There are slaughterhouses that exist for that very product. "When paying for a slice of meat you are directly paying for the death of an animal for pleasure." When using youtube you are directly using animal products cut from dead animals for entertainment. "Go crawl back into your hole, you constantly spew the same argument which has been debunked a million times." My argument has been debunked zero times. You just continue to justify hypocrisy while pretending that it debunked me. "Repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity." More projection. You continue to repeat the same debunked justifications over and over. Thanks for continuing to prove I am right and you're a hypocrite. I win again and as always I accept your concession based on your inability to use facts.

  270.  @johnwelling5015  "Vegans will admit to using animal products whilst being against it" This is not true. They aren't vegan if they use animal products. "a lot of the products that they use were most likely bought prior to them becoming vegan." This does not cover the animal products they use needlessly for entertainment that are upgraded daily. "If you have an alternative, you are free to share that." The alternative to using animal products needlessly for entertainment is not using them needlessly for entertainment. "Vegans also claim" No they don't. They aren't vegan. "Veganism aims to reduce suffering, Earthling Ed and No Injustice Lasts Forever will acknowledge that eliminating suffering is simply a dream world, but reducing the suffering caused by humans can help." No one on youtube practices veganism. Youtube is an entertainment platform that is possible and practicable to avoid. "Using already dead animals you've acquired prior to veganism won't make them a hypocrite," Pushing veganism while literally using animal products needlessly for entertainment is hypocrisy by definition. hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. "As long as they don't pay for any more animal products, then they're adhering to a vegan lifestyle." Also untrue. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. They use new and used animal products every time they open youtube needlessly for entertainment. "Some vegans will avoid certain vegan products that contain ingredients such as palm oil, the ingredient that harms the environment & animals whilst not being an animal product." Again...not vegan. "So of course I cannot prove you wrong, vegans as well as non vegans will use animal products, but vegans will attempt to reduce their environmental impact and harm towards other animals." I know you can't. They aren't vegan. They are non-vegan and lying about being vegan. "You have demonstrated a habit of claiming victory in a debate, even before the debate has actually ended." I win because I am literally and technically 100% correct. "And I believe that the user, No Injustice Lasts Forever, does indeed live by the narrative he pushes." He literally uses animal products cut from the same dead animals he tells others not to use. He is literally a hypocrite by definition and a liar in practice. He also claims livestock "are murdered" which isn't possible and he claims animals are "someone." "He just can't eliminate what he dislikes, that doesn't mean you can't fight for a reduction in what he dislikes." He can stop using what he claims to be against. He just chooses to continue doing it anyway. Anything else?

  271.  @johnwelling5015  "You're not 100% correct. They are vegan if they refrain from purchasing it." Purchasing is not part of the definition. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or USE animal products. "Are you talking about upgrading the literal software?" Hardware and infrastructure. "What if a vegan uses" Not possible because a vegan doesn't eat or use animal products in the first place. "Yes, it's possible to avoid YouTube," Thanks for agreeing with me and proving me right. "Using those animal products that have already been purchased will not simultaneously cause suffering" Cool story. You're forgetting my previous comment about using new and always updating hardware. Youtube's servers are hardware and infrastructure updated all of the time. "Which "new" animal products are they using when they open YouTube?" Hardware and infrastructure upgrades happen world wide in Google Data Centers. Google Data Centers exclusively use Intel and AMD processors. Intel and AMD processors disclose their use of animal based stearic acid (fat) and animal based activated charcoal (bones) in their manufacturing process. "Ah yes, not vegan to you because in your book" Wrong again. Not vegan by the definition of "vegan" created by the Vegan Society. You know....the inventors of the word. "Yes, I cannot." I accept your concession. "Your word isn't enough." I am not using my word. I am using literal facts taken from the Vegan Society. "He's telling others not to purchase any more dead animals if possible, that's what he is hinting at." So now you get to decide what he says by what he isn't saying.....lol "And sure, you may argue semantics" Irrefutable facts* Thanks for confirming I have been right all alone. He is a literal liar and hypocrite who uses animal products needlessly while pretending to be against it. You failed at white knighting him. I accept your concession as well.

  281.  @johnwelling5015  Thanks for proving yourself ignorant. "The definition from "the Vegan Society" you claim to have used is not correct." The definition of "vegan" that I use was made by the Vegan Society. You lied. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. This is not a simplified definition. This is THE definition of "vegan." You're confusing the definition of "vegan" with the definition of "veganism" which are two different words with two different definitions. A vegan is a person who does not eat or use animal products. Veganism is a doctrine about a lifestyle. "Now, by definition, vegans can be vegan as long as they make an effort to exclude all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. *As far as is possible and practicable*, since they acknowledge it's impossible to be 100%." You're lying again. You're making up new definitions to fit a narrative that doesn't exist. "Refute that with the appropriate source." Easy...already done. "You also claim you aren't anti-vegan, yet you seem to target multiple vegans on some vegan channels, notably Joey Carbstrong." You're lying again. They aren't vegan. They use animal products. They don't even practice veganism because they use animal products that are possible and practicable to avoid. So again, I am anti-liar and anti-hypocrite. I have no problem with anyone who chooses to not eat or use animal products. If they are making comments online then they are using animal products. "How can you convince me now that you indeed are not anti-vegan, or simply an anti-liar biased towards vegans?" By using actual facts instead of your lies, fan fiction, and ignorance. I win again and continue to accept your concession due to your lies, inability to refute me, and constant use of fan fiction instead of facts.

  388.  @StarSpangledBanning  "Which also involves the practice of abstaining," Not according to the official definition of "vegan." - a person who does not eat or use animal products. No wiggle room. Nice try though by using a cherry picked definition that is unofficial. "Exactly! If Ed didn't use YouTube" Then he would actually be practicing veganism. "you'd still attack him for using unavoidable technology." I don't attack people that I can't see practicing hypocrisy. For instance I don't attack the Amish for using cell phones on youtube. Hard to reply to someone like that when they actually practice what they preach. "is due to the fact that you're playing hardball" Facts are hardball....lol So let's get this straight. You're justifying his needless and intentional uses of animal products while maintaining that he is practicing veganism. Congrats...that means everyone on the planet practices veganism according to your logic. "I need some so it's okay to use any I want for convenience and entertainment." That's no different than ordering a meat lovers pizza and chicken wings while claiming to practice veganism. "But I need a phone and I used the app to order." "You use a source from the very people blah blah..." Yep. They are the official inventors of the words. It isn't my problem they don't practice what they preach. I guess they should have been more vague. So again, nothing to refute me and just more justifications for hypocrisy. Try again without using denial and justifications. Be crazy, try facts.

  533.  @thvx1566  Just more name calling without being able to refute me eh? "Also so what?" It just means you're a hypocrite and a liar. " Veganism isn't about being perfect, it's about using as little animal products as possible while still being able to do the things you HAVE to do." You HAVE to reply to strangers on the internet? How much do you get paid to reply to me? Do your parents force you? What is your job title where they force you to reply to me? So basically....you're now an admitted liar and hypocrite. "I can't live without my phone." You can live without youtube's routers and servers that you used to reply to me. "I like most people also just simply didn't know about this either and the amount of cholesterol actually used seems marginally low." The definition doesn't care how little you use intentionally and needlessly. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. You use animal products. You're not vegan. Veganism is a doctrine about a lifestyle of avoiding animal products when possible and practicable. It is not the definition of a person and is not the definition of "vegan." Why are all of you virtue signaling liars and hypocrites so ignorant about the things you claim to be for attention? "you have the same phone as me and on top of that," I never claimed to be vegan or to practice veganism. Do you not know what the definition of hypocrisy is? hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform You literally use animal products while telling other people not to use animal products. You're literally a hypocrite. "you refuse to buy the Vegan alternatives." You're making things up. Can you ever just tell the truth? " Instead, you eat dead animals flesh, wear their dead skin and torn out fur, sleep on they plucked feathers, use makeup tested on them etc." Have proof of these accusations? Of course you don't. You're a liar and a hypocrite that only feels better about yourself when you're accusing others of doing the same things you do. "Also, there’s no reasonable way to know if a specific electronic contains animal products or not." That's what the MSDS site is for. Maybe ask your parents for help. "Most of the time, customer service will not be able to tell you these things." Try public relations and ask for MSDS codes of their products. That's how I find out. Spoiler alert: Every bit of mechanical grade silicon is purified with bones. "I'll give you 3 replies this time just to piss you off" It doesn't bother me at all. It just backs up my case about you not being able to keep your thoughts together on your diet. You lose. Try again. Maybe try to use facts and stop making up fan fiction next time.

  584.  @lukeh8056  The Vegan Society of course. Veganism is a doctrine that describes a lifestyle. "The word veganism shall mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals." - Leslie Cross founding member of the vegan society and author of "Veganism Defined." This is the doctrine that they later made to describe a life style of avoiding animal products when possible and practicable. There is no one that actually does this because convenience, hobbies, fun, and entertainment are always more important than possible and practicable. You prove this every time you reply to me using animal products that are easily avoided. Replying to me using your electronics is not a necessity of life and does in fact use the parts of slaughtered animals. You're a hypocrite. "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to animals for food, clothing and any other purpose." Notice the definition of veganism does not include the word "person" or "vegan" in any form? This is because veganism is not the definition of vegan nor is failing at practicing veganism. "way of living" = lifestyle "exclude, as far as is possible and practicable" - This includes convenience, hobbies, fun, entertainment, and commenting on youtube. "all forms" - Does "all forms" mean "all forms" in your country? Maybe it just means "all forms except those that stop me from being a virtue signaling hypocrite" "any other purpose" - smart phones, routers, computers, servers, refrigerators, microwaves, asphalt roads, carpet, drywall, televisions, etc.....and millions more items long. If it is not a necessity for life then using it means you don't practice the doctrine of veganism. Notice the veganism doctrine doesn't care about your virtue signaling or lying about being vegan? Do you see that you're intentionally ignoring the doctrine while justifying your own contradictions?

  593.  @lukeh8056  "but we have not established whether that contributes to additional exploitation that would not occur if I did not" We don't have to. That is up to you to prove since you brought it up. You intentionally use animal products needlessly. This alone proves you aren't vegan nor do you practice veganism. Vegan (noun) is a word that describes a person. Vegan (noun) - a person who does not eat or use animal products. The word vegan was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson and later the founders petitioned Oxford University for their precise definition. This is the definition that the Vegan Society petitioned Oxford University for placement in their reference. This is stated in the Oxford Phrases and Fables 1rst and 2nd edition. You may also find it in Encyclopædia Britannica. Every living person on the planet currently eats and/or uses animal products. Animal products are used in smart phones, computers, routers, servers, vehicles, asphalt roads, carpet, drywall, window glass, refrigerators, microwaves, etc... Veganism is a doctrine that describes a lifestyle. "The word veganism shall mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals." - Leslie Cross founding member of the vegan society and author of "Veganism Defined." This is the doctrine that they later made to describe a life style of avoiding animal products when possible and practicable. You don't actually do this because convenience, hobbies, fun, and entertainment is always more important than possible and practicable with you. You prove this every time you reply to me using animal products that are easily avoided. Replying to me using your electronics and youtube's is not a necessity of life.

"way of living" = lifestyle "exclude, as far as is possible and practicable" - This includes convenience, hobbies, fun, entertainment, and replying to people on youtube. "all forms" - Does "all forms" mean "all forms" in your country? Maybe it just means "everything except what is inconvenient." "any other purpose" - smart phones, routers, computers, servers, refrigerators, microwaves, asphalt roads, carpet, drywall, televisions, etc.....and millions more items long. You're personal choices to live or work in places that leave you with no choice but to use animal products is your personal choice to intentionally use animal products. Move. We have already went over this a half dozen times in numerous virtue signaling comments of yours.
