Hey!
I'm not sure if this thread belongs here or whether it should be in the food/drink section. Since veganism isn't completely food/drink related, I thought it would be best here. Anyway, is anybody here a vegetarian or a vegan? I'm a vegetarian at the moment but I'm slowly becoming a vegan, I'm not eating eggs anymore and I intend on cutting out dairy in the next month or so. I don't wear silk or fur and I try to avoid wearing leather. I can't avoid leather completely because I have to wear black, leather shoes to school. Anyway, are there any vegetarians or vegans here? If so, woohoo! :)

I think you guys who are being totally disrespectful to heidixo's beliefs are just lucky there are people in the slaughterhouse to kill your meat for you....I wonder how many of you can do it yourselves and get your own meat, or help out in the factory farms rather. Help the farmers take away the baby cows from their mothers so you can get all her milk, and help kill the baby cows after you pretty much starved them because they are of no use to you...I'd love to see the ones of you that will have difficulty sleeping at night, and for the ones that don't I will just feel sorry because clearly whoever raised you failed to teach respect and compassion for the other living things you share this planet with: from cute fluffy dogs to cockroaches.

I'm not saying you're a dick if you eat meat...but you are a dick if you show disrespect to people for being vegetarians or vegans, who are actually doing something very thoughtful for our planet and the creatures that inhabit it. Even Albert Einstein himself said if humans were vegetarian, the world would be in much healthier condition.

And now it is very clear after that big lecture, that I am NOT vegetarian. (sarcasm) I have no problem with those who do eat meat as long as they respect and have sympathy for where their meat has come from, which clearly a lot of people who posted on this thread don't.

Ohhhh no, I'm a pussy....whatever shall I do, I'll go to a corner and cry now.

I'm not saying that eating meat is the wrong thing to do..it's really hard to say who's right and who's wrong in this regard, because there is science that supports eating meat, some science says its not necessary and on top of that it is an ethical debate so I cannot say it is wrong or right, but eating meat is not right FOR ME as an individual. What I do feel I can say is wrong, however is the lack of sympathy and respect for the lives that are taken and the suffering many of these animals undergo.

It's the same with people who buy cosmetics like Cover Girl...buy it if you will, but at least have some respect and sympathy for the rabbits that have been painfully blinded and killed to give you your make-up.

Ooooooo, touche big boy you're soooo clever. *rolls eyes* It's funny that you can't think of anything valid to say, so you think being a smartass will cover it up.....it's ironic that you speak of winning, when really that "remark" was the biggest fail I've seen in a while.

Weren't you just spouting something about being respectful of other people's viewpoints?

Yeah, if they respect the viewpoints of others and respect...ugh, I'm not repeating myself for the third time. You clearly don't respect my views, therefore I don't respect your viewpoints or you for that matter.

EDIT: Besides, what viewpoint did you give in the first place!?!?! All you did was make a smartass remark that made no sense.

When did I infer I didn't? Just because you wrote up a scenario that had no winner other than yourself in it, doesn't mean I don't respect your right to have it. I have total respect for others to feel the way they do, but it doesn't mean there can't be discussion on it.

Good work with the school kid approach to it, by the way. "I HATE U COZ U HATE ME NOW", etc. Great way to generate respect.
