why cant meat eaters leave us to eat what we want?

Question

why the stupid questions? i dont taunt them. but thay have to come to vegetarian section waving their bits of animal at us. . its not remotely funny

Answer 1

Most veg people don't tell people that they are murderers, you f*cking morons.

Sorry, hell of stupid answers up there.

They suffer from MAJOR ignorance and think that all vegetarians preach and whine and moan all the time about what other people are eating.

How STUPID do you have to be to make such a generalization and not realize that most of the vegetarians that they've met didn't make it obvious that they are one?!?!?!

Answer 2

I eat meat and have nothing against vegetarians, in fact I may even admire them. If I had to kill the meat that I eat I would have to stop as that's something I could never do .But by the time the poor animal or bird arrives at the butchers the damage has already been done and as its impossible to convert the whole population I eat whats there, yes sometimes with a bad feeling guess that if all of us meat eaters had to visit a slaughter house just once there would be a lot more vegetarians

Answer 3

I think it can go both ways. We've got *some* meat eaters who taunt the vegetarians with remarks that they think are so intelligent but are in fact very mundane and repetitive, and then we've got *some* vegetarians who think meat is murder and feel the need to tell everyone about factory farming.

So we all reap what we sow. I wish there was just some way to stop the stupidity altogether, sing a song, and get along.

Answer 4

First of all, ALL V&V questions get posted in the main forum AND the food and drink section. You honestly think that people have nothing else better to do than go onto a website and abuse vegetarians? Get real!
Secondly, I am a vegetarian myself. I don't force my theory down anyone's throats, but I am sick and tired of all the "supposed" veggies here preaching to everyone. Its up to each and every one of us what we want or don't want to eat. If people want to eat meat, fine by me. If they don't, fine also. Maybe if you stopped telling them what they should and shouldn't eat, then maybe they'd leave you alone, too.

Answer 5

I switched to the vegetarian existence type the 1st week of June, and that i not point out it or ask questions strictly as a results of fact of ways "preachy" vegetarians are. and that i'm one now! Fellow vegetarians e-mailed me photos of animals announcing "Please do not consume me!" or telling me how not ingesting a hamburger stored ninety 5 cows, or some thing. i don't care approximately animals, i'm doing it for well being motives, yet i presumed, "Why do not those vegetarians circulate away me on my own?!" I in simple terms think of we are people who circulate overboard and vegetarians could circulate away meat eaters on my own. fairly with all of those Indians, Ethiopians, etc who additionally do not consume meat and in no way say a be conscious to others approximately their decision of nutrition.

Answer 6

omg Jessica, why don't you aquaint us with "PETA terrorism?" I am so sick of hearing this hyperbole and propaganda. The last time I checked nobody in that org was getting indicted or serving jail time. If you think throwing powder on someone's fur coat is more violent than electrocuting an animal up the annus or skinning it alive then of course that's your ignorant perogative... Of course we would not know about any of this kind of "terrorism" against defenseless creatures (God's creatures last time I looked) if the "terrorists" had not done undercover work.

I too have seen alot of taunting and baiting on the internet. People tend to show their true colors when they feel safe and anonymous. Otherwise, I would say be proud to be a vegetarian. You are saving animals, helping the planet and doing your body a favor. You are also not supporting slaughterhouse and factory farmed hell holes, which I am guessing most of these people are lucky enough never to have worked in (or probably ever been in). They are abusive to people as well as animals. One of the more famous animal activists and vegetarians out there was Cesare Chavez after all, an agricultural activists who did alot for migrant farm workers. Animals and people's rights go hand in hand.

"True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when it's recipient has no power. Humanity's true moral test, it's fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view) consists of it's attitude towards those who are at it's mercy: animals. And in this respect human kind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it."

Answer 7

I have never done that to a vegetarian i had a close frined who was a vegan and another a vegetarian and I was so respectfull and never ate meat when i was with them, I dont know anyone who would wave their meat in a vegetarians face im sorry if you have had a bad experience but not everyone is like that.

Answer 8

"Meat eaters" no more taunt vegetarians than "Veggies" taunt omnivores. Your question convicts all who are open to the choices of others. People on all sides of this issue would do well to accept the choices of others without trying to change them or rubbing their noses in them. What you characterize as "stupid questions" may actually be your opening to a conversation about your choice and why you made it. Calling those who eat animal proteins and/or products "Meat Eaters" could very well be taken as offensive and lead to defensive actions such as "waving their bits of animal" at you.

Live your convictions and allow others to live theirs.

Answer 9

I've noticed that too. About half of the questions in the category are people who think they are being cute by asking how to cook their lamb chops. Some people can only accept people who believe and act just like them.

Jessica, most vegetarians do not belong to PETA. You need to quit stereotyping. When I eat out, I skim the menu for a vegetarian entry and if there isn't one I get a salad. No big deal.

Answer 10

When you stop wittering on about how fantastic a vegetarian diet is (it isnt, its dull bland and boring, end of arguement)
And condemning meat eaters as murderers (we arent, well, most of us arent)
And pointing out (misguidedly)that we are all going to die of colon cancer.
Then you might find that us meat eaters are friendlier toward you.

Answer 11

I agree ... I get darn mad when I tell people I'm a flexitarian vegetarian and only rarely eat steak or any kind of red meat for that matter. And then they go acting all kind of crazy-like. I tell them I primarily eat seafood and fish and they start calling me "fish face", or "crabby". And if I mention I have poultry on occasion they start clucking.

I tell them ... "I'm a flexitarian vegetarian, darn it. Go harass those strict vegetarians they don't eat ANY meat ...not even fish, seafood and poultry." Then they leave me alone ... especially when I point out a strict veggie head to them.
