I HATE it when people impose their feelings/political views on others via name calling. I once had a woman tell me that keeping pets was the same as having slaves, so I was a slaveholder. WTF? I highly doubt that ANY of my pets could be compared to slaves. Frankly, they live pretty damned good lives and, from what I understand, slavery doesn't involve sitting around all day, playing with toys, eating expensive food, and getting lots of attention.
I hear you; I was vegan for bunches of years, and eat meat again now (but humanely raised local stuff and am bracing for ridicule), and although there are decent argument for a meat free diet, the analogy spacefragments saw is not one of them.
Indeed. I think it's also the kind of person certain vegans/vegetarians are; if they are the type to press their beliefs of "meat is murder" on other people.
well, see, they need to pop their mouths off about meat eaters because they feel bad about themselves being so unhealthy. it's kind of like a childhood bully compensating for his poor self-esteem.
Do they really think us carnivores are going to see that and go, "Well, fuck! I didn't realise!" and throw down our burgers? Not the most effective way of converting the meat-eaters. We eat animals; we're made of sterner stuff than that. :)
