New five pound note: Not suitable for vegetarians

[abc]

in my opinion i think for something such as money that everybody uses then ppl deserve to know if even a trace of animal is in it

But why? do you know what material is used to make your credit card, or clothing or toothbrush or plane seat or car seat?

This offends me as a vegan transgender hipster Native American-Indo-Chinese hybrid alien agnostic-athiest German engineer who vapes fairtrade organic decaffeinated compressed and hydrated extra protein soy breast milk on the regular and does Hindi Kama Sutra naked crossfit yoga 5 times a week. I'm also a non binary trigender male feminist and identify myself as a pastafarian pansexual gender fluid Apache helicopter dog of mega multi alpha beta gamma delta omega combo god of hyper death who's in a polygamous polyamorous relationship with a chihuahua which helped me cross the border of Mexico because it hates Donald Trump. My dog walks me to the park and doggystyle's me. If you find that weird you're an ignorant arrogant homophobic gender assuming globaphobic bloodthirsty gun loving cisgender pansexual bestiary sexist racist incestuous white privileged misogynistic biased objectified raped Nazi slave owner terrorist.

Dan stop using logical fallacy to invalidate a perfectly reasonable argument. You do it all the time and it's boring as **** because it ruins any "debate".

So first of all I don't think it matters that theres traces of animals in the new fivers and I definitely don't think they should be changed and those who are kicking up that much of a fuss are going to have to learn to live with it.

But oh my god I'm sick of seeing you get all smug about how finally the forum is beginning to support you and move away from the tumblrina sjw liberal leftie arguments. By taking tara, rosie, etc.'s argument and immediately disregarding it because it's liberal is exactly the same as what you claim you're falling victim to all the time on the forum. Again, I don't particularly care about the subject at hand and don't really agree with rosie on this one but she still deserves to say what she says to say and it's still perfectly valid as this is a matter of opinion? Your hypocrisy irritates me. If you want to disagree with them then go for it, but stop passing everyone who disagrees with you off as a leftie and therefore deciding their opinion is invalid and bait them until they either give up or yell at you. It irritates me to watch.

Just my two cents.

@Empired;

yes because i remember you running to my defence everytime i was in the (visible) minority being called a racist etc

in any case both me and Tom have been debating the issue with Rosie whereas you and Tara have contributed nothing to the discussion other than a jerk fest together on how you're now pissed when forum discussions don't go a certain way anymore.

there's my 52 cents.

[Empired]

Not at all, we've contributed our own opinions on what happens and actually mine happened to be fairly similar to yours (see my second paragraph above) just with what I perceive to be all the unnecessary aggressive bits taken out

Chill out dan. So what I disagree with you on some issues? Isn't that what makes the world a more interesting place? If you think you've been victimised because of your opinions and now believe you're in the majority on the forum, be the bigger man and kindly show people the light instead of treating them how you perceive you were treated!

@Empired;

I think you're reading way too much into what was a joke I found directed at Tom tbh

haven't directed it at rosie i've debated her on the ins and outs of the animal fat in £ argument as has tom.

[Empired]

Whats this about rosie and tom? I didn't mention them in that post and only used rosie as an example in the one above.

nope because I dont particularly care but there are people who will care and they deserve to know and if they choose not to use the new fivers then so be it doesnt have an impact on your life or mine

i find this outrage at veggies more of a non-issue than veggies themselves complaining
