- Vegetarians aren't denied fundamental human rights.
- Vegetarians have never been denied a security clearance.
- Vegetarians were never thrown out of the military for being a vegetarian.
- Vegetarians can marry whomever they want (assuming that person wants to put up with a vegetarian).
- Noone ever beat a vegetarian to death for being in a bar and being a vegetarian.
- The police have never raided a place vegetarians hang out and made a public display of humiliating people for being vegetarian.
- No vegetarian has ever been blackmailed for being a vegetarian.
- No law has ever been passed making vegetarianism punishable by jail, or death.
I could go on for quite a while. So you get all butthurt because someone said "LOL veggie", and suddenly your righteous indignation makes you morally equivalent to people who have had to fight just to be treated as human for decades. For future reference, that's what a "false equivalence" is. Stop it.
