Hmm, I have no preference for eggs. I could decide today to never eat them again and it wouldn't be a hard decision at all for me.
But, to be honest, this post just makes me want to go home and have an egg feast.
Not because I have some innate desire to torture and enslave helpless animals, but because of the way it is written. I wonder how long it'll take for people to realize that this method of getting your point across is just polarizing people. The people who agree with your stance are going to support this post. The people who disagree are not going to be converted because it's such condescending tone. (something that I'm not used to seeing from you, Steve)
Wouldn't you think it'd be MORE effective if you stopped comparing people to nazis, and instead just showed them the video (which my browser wouldn't load so I couldn't watch it...will watch it later, though) and then gave them solid points as to why it'd be in their best interest to not eat eggs? (health benefits, etc.)
I ask that mainly because I'm wondering what you hope to accomplish with a post like this. Is your real goal to dissuade as many people as you can from eating eggs and encouraging practices like this? Or is this just a platform to cut people down? I ask that, mainly, because there's a more sensible, less polarizing approach than this for winning people to your cause.
Like I said, I'm not defending my once in a blue moon trip to egg-ville here. I was just put off by the tone of the post moreso than the content.
