  2. LOL y r u getting so mad? Haha I made the title the way it was QUICKLY to get ur fallacious arguments off my wall and to give u the chance to make arguments that made more sense than that gibberish. Thats one. Two, I'm sure u do make more than me but whats that have to do w anything lol? Oh I'll be the one waiting now. And again, its about scale and its about which is causing more damage. Even if u want to go there, we can also talk abt how feeding those animals sucks for the environment too. Oh. Sad. U have to resort to ad hominem arguments bc urs arent making sense. Veg is less harmful to the environment. Never said it was harm free AGAIN but since ure so thick I'll amend my initial statement. Done yet? Bc we can keep going.

    Also Angel who the HELL is talking abt vegans lmao? NO ONE but cool story bro. Theres a huge difference. Im not a vegan for a reason. And just bc one baby died doesnt make veganism bad. There r healthy ways to be a vegan and from this ONE article no one can tell if the mother was doing it correctly.
     
  3. Thank u God lmao
     
  4. First off I aint your bro. Now look whos mad. What bcuz you can't look into think in more depth. Not my problem.
     
  5. And one baby? That is just one website with a list stupid. My god you need to learn to read. And the way you set this up you made it come off as meat eaters vs vegans.
     
  6. Lmfao I need to learn to read but u cant see the word VEGETARIANISM all over this threat and in EVERY post I made? Mkay
     
  7. Actually,

    We do know what separates humans from animals. Our minds. The fact that humans are capable of compassion and a altruistic nature which animals are not capable of. People put human behaviors and traits into animals the same way we believe every human should be in some fashion "good". But that doesn't mean animals are capable in the same extent as humans are to these attributes. In fact they aren't capable. People make animals like humans to identify with them.

    The fact that you can make a choice not to eat meat and show compassion towards things is in fact your human nature.

    The whole thing is though, eating meat is also human nature we have canines for a reason and need the nutrients meat provides. I used to be a vegetarian, but I'm already deficient in iron and iron pills make me severely sick, as well as there's no way to sufficiently get enough iron into my body from other sources without going to horrid extremes. Vegetarianism actually puts me at a health risk. I also despise fish which is another issue.

    Forcing someone to conform to your belief is actually what pisses me off about vegetarianism and what makes me want to rage eat a cow. Why do I have to be vegetarian? I don't. Just like you don't have to eat meat.

    Vegetarianism is also a luxury of the upper middle class and above. It's horribly expensive for vegetables and fruits, especially those that are organic. Whereas it's relatively cheap for a slab of meat. You've admitted your parents are the ones buying your food. It's actually very hard to maintain a lifestyle like that on a limited income. Extremely hard especially since most people when conforming to that life style also have to take supplements which cost a ridiculous amount of money.

    Eating meat is someone's choice. If we were all walking talking clones of each other life would be very boring wouldn't it?

    I don't believe in the mass production of meat nor do I support it. But it's how my society and the culture I live in operates. We survive how we can I guess. But forcefully proclaiming your way is the only way is ridiculous.

    There's many ways up the hill, regardless of if you're taking a donkey, a car, a horse, or a train. You still make it up there. Annnd to steal a quote from my favorite author Chuck Palahniuk, "we all have the same punch line."
     
  8. And that, boys and girls
    Is the CHERRY on top of this cake.
    /Lock Thread.
     
  9. Oops, I just realized you weren't the person to say that your parents buy you food sorry for my mistake OP. But my argument still stands in that regard.
     
  10. If u read my earlier comments here I actually said not everyone can be vegetarian because of prices etc.... but im glad u said it again
     
  11. I did see that. But I like to fully go into my thoughts without neglecting others just because someone said them before because then I can form a well rounded assertion of my belief. Thanks for feeling superior because I type and think in a certain way that doesn't conform with your sensibilities.

    As far as mass production of meat being harmful to the environment. Yes I do believe it is. I despise mass production of meat. I fully believe the earth is over populated though and technological advances are detrimental. Although I'm one of those people who holds those beliefs but doesn't go and do anything about it. Although a commune could be nice. 

    But this is the world we live in. I hold lots of beliefs. I hold lots of arguments. But they're irrelevant to everyone besides myself or those who hold the same beliefs.
     
  12. Dear Jo, I will help you rage eat a cow .. Oh look I'm passing some going down the road now .. Maybe I should pick one up for our date later?
     
  13. By meat from your local butcher its usually sorced withing 20miles, its takeaways like mc donalds that source there meat further afield as they need to mass produce there product.
    Its not about the enviroment because you can be responsible for yourself and buy british or american products (products produced in your country) to eliminate the majority of that issue, if you buy onions grown in spain then your creating carbon foot print not to mention helping there economy and farmers instead of your own. Like others have said just say you dont like ppl killing animals for food and ppl will respect that, trying to take a moral high tends to annoy ppl. Personally i eat meat and enjoy it, doesnt mean i like animals any less than ppl who dont, i dont mind what other ppl eat or drink or if they smoke or not its upto them no one else.
     
  14. Uh doesnt conform to my sensibilities? Really? Ok first of all that makes no sense that ud say that from one small comment that I made. Two, that comment that ure referencing was me seeing that I'm GLAD that u mentioned that again. So okay? U put it better than I did. So that comment was totally off.

    And im not returning to poster that said whatever abt me taking some moral high ground, really, show me where in any of this have I done that. Go read earlier comments I've made. Ive said the ISSUE here that we r discussing is NOT which side is right in terms of this. The ORIGINAL argument started with is meat eating bad for the environment? The answer is a simple YES. NOT ONCE have I or almost anyone else for veg said ANYTHING abt moral obligations to animals or anything. So id like to know where u think I've said that. And no if I say oh I dont like ppl killing animals for food that TOTALLY dumbs down the point I was making to the first person that brought this argument to my wall. If ure not going to totally follow along it completely makes replying to the argument useless.
     
  15. Hard to decipher sarcasm from true gratitude through text. Sorry for hopping to assumptions.
     
  16. WTF. I MISSED THE 69TH POST :(
     
  17. There's also environmental problems. I'm a vegetarian because meat makes me sick but we had another drought here and it's gonna be in the 90s next week again possibly 100degrees Wednesday  it's gonna suck but yeah anyway the drought kinda ruins our crop growth and water usage for the state although I don't really think this was an argument about anything  I forgot what I was gonna say. Okay sorry about that carry on. 
     
  18. Wow used your still butt hurt when ppl make points. That's great well argument is if eating meat harms environment. Yes it does. Does eating vegetarian harm environment . Yes it does. Are both what we as humans must do to live. Yes it is. Get off the wagon be happy promote a health way of life. Do you we do us . All this anger is going to give you a heart attack. Admit when your wrong none of us are perfect. If you live in this day and time much of what you do harms something. That's the point. If your not happy with meat eaters move away and get over it. Same with meat eaters if you don't like vegetarians move to place meat eaters live. Seems like bigger issue is you need a life. If all your friends put up with that condisending tone with out slapping the taste out your mouth need to thank someone you don't live in the south. Have a blessed day . My last post. Agree to died agree get girl friend boy friend or marry a pet later everyone I'm out.
     
  19. Well

    But if you wanna be a vegetarian then go ahead, its their choice I guess.
