Argument Against Vegetarians

Isabela,

This is weird to write, because, on the on hand, I'm thrilled to have such an articulate, passionate activist contribute to this small (but growing!) site. However, on the other hand, you're really starting a debate, and this is not a debate site. Debate and debate sites such as Essembly.Com are great, but TeenActivist.Org is an action site, not a debate site.

(Disclaimer: I happen to be a vegetarian, but that has nothing to do with my concern.)

I think it's really good to question life decisions, especially our own. I think there is a place for your vegetarian skepticism, but not exactly here, even though you put your arguments forward respectfully.

I hope you will post your save-the-Whale activism and any other activism in which you engage (whether or not I "agree"!)

Out of respect, I will not unpublish your entry without your permission. After all, it's not like your post is hateful. In fact, it's just the opposite.

Thank you so much (no kidding, really!)

Sean :)

They cut babies, don't they? Circumcision HARMS!

My grandfather was a doctor, and he was adamant against circumcision. (He was also adamant against body piercing, including ear piercing.)

I think this journal entry raises an interesting issue that teens may want to take up. Honestly, I'm posting this response to round out the perfect score, which I have reason to suspect was not from a teenager. This is not an indictment, just a reasonable exercise of my prerogative as moderator.

Adults pretending to be teenagers

For now, SGM has the benefit of the doubt. This site is for teens, and it's definitely not okay for adults to be posting journal entries as teens. However, it seems plausible that a teen wrote it, and the entry is not inappropriate (although it may be a sensitive subject).

Again, thanks for the concern.

Best wishes,
Sean
