If there were no vegans, you'd have nothing to bitch about, so you should thank us

Such threads are few and far between, if you can find one at all. I can think of no such thread in recent history.
I really don't care if you're vegan. I consider it unnatural, but do what you want.
Using terms like cruelty-free, however, implies that those who don't subscribe to a vegan lifestyle are cruel. And a vegan withholding meat from a non-vegan while working in a restaurant is basically forcing your beliefs on others. It would be like me dipping your tofu in pig fat.
My life philosophy is that you can do whatever the hell you want so long as it doesn't adversely affect another person. You can smoke so long as I don't have to inhale it. You can be a religious extremist so long as you don't push your beliefs on me. You can own a dozen assault rifles so long as you don't shoot at me. You can be a vegan so long as I can continue to eat meat without being bothered.
