Oh we didn't say it was good, in fact not having heard it before suggests it probably isn't.

It's knowing that someone in the strategic process is sanctioning the morality of your actions specifically so you don't fear damnation.

Morale is critical in war. He needs to ask these kinda questions to do his job.

I see the guaranteed claim now has quotation marks, as if it changes the definition at all significantly.
Why don't you tell us what abhorrent preference "plenty of people" have that you're certain I don't tolerate?

That's not specific, and they will enforce their preference, so make up your mind.

I'm not choosing it because it's harmful, and if you keep objectivity you can see how it's unfair to judge so harshly on preference alone.
I could think up some selfless reasons but the fact remains I shouldn't have to. I shouldn't need to justify a freedom to have it. You should understand the ability to choose is worth defending in itself, even if you wouldn't make the same choice.
Selfish is dictating your preference is the only acceptable one.

There doesn't have to be. This is what I mean, preference is what matters, since even the facts mattering is a matter of preference.
If vegans could be catered to simply because of their feelings, like they were for the longest time and will be until the great greenhouse benefit kicks in, I should be as well, no practical benefit required.

If you could choose between drinking crystal clear glacial water, or water distilled from the piss of a public urinal, would you have a preference?
Even if the results are indistinguishable, the means still matter.

Yes, I prefer if it lives well fed and free ranging, while still protected from wild animals, disease, and the like. I also prefer it to be killed in the most humane way possible.

They're not stopping me because they can't, there is no option to, which is why I'm referring to when there is that option.
Also what do I get when you break your guarantee?

I didn't have a better word for the group. What would you call people who have a problem with you eating produce specifically because it involves animal suffering?

Oh, because I prefer meat from a slain animal. That's it really.
Objectively speaking it's no less valid than wanting meat from a fake animal. It's a distant, intangible, subjectively moral, but I bet as soon as the vegans have the high ground they'll pull up the ladder and demand better reasons than the same ones they've been using the entire time.

Because hypocrites love double standards. Vegans get options according to their preferences, but as soon as it's a question of my preference they won't tolerate it at all. Just look at the response already.

Reply to comment by sirophiuchus in TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Probably something based on his other disciplines, like saturating and collapsing the ground, or a lightweight portable bronze meerkat on a stick to deflect suspicion.
