Are we doing ad hominem attacks now?

Perhaps we can start from the points I'm making and assess them on their own merits instead?



>Perhaps we can start from the points I'm making and assess them on their own merits instead?

As far as I can tell, the points you made are:

A) It's strange people make moral choices to stay out of advertising.

B) Advertisement could be more targeted.

B is boring and I don't care.

A isn't really a point with merits to be debated.

I enjoy eating meat. But I don't call it "strange" everytime someone turns out to be vegetarian. I understand why they refrain from eating meat. It's not like I disavow the existence of the question of "should we eat meat?". I just disagree.


> ad hominem

Be careful before you start tossing around the Latin, someone might hit you with a 'cui bono?'.
