Well that person is clearly an idiot. Pretty much all restaurants these days have at least a couple vegetarian options. Eating meat substitutes is not the same thing as eating the meat. A lot of people become vegetarian for animal rights, not because they hated the taste of meat. Yes vegetarians drive cars and some may own some animal skin somewhere in their wardrobe.. but by being vegetarian they are at least making an effort to change the world by starting with their diet. People always attack us thinking we need to be perfect in every way just because we choose not to eat animals. I've gone out on group dinners where the majority was vegetarian and so some guy decided to eat as much meat in spite of us all. Good for him. If you want to be a moron that's your decision. My diet only affects you if you let it, other than that it shouldn't even be up for discussion. I don't walk around condemning my meat eating buddies..
He's actually one of the most intelligent people you'll ever read. Read his other things. He's also the funniest person you'll ever read. And he's usually right too.
Got bored with trying to argue with these really juvenille generalisations and trying to look clever posts many years ago So no thanks
does anyone know if restaurants use different pots,pans and utensils to cook their vegetarian dishes or is it all just a mish mash? reason i ask is because most vegetarians i know refuse to eat anything thats been cooked in or with anything thats ever touched meat whether its been washed or not..
umm, his diet only affects you if you let it as well. obviously it did or you wouldnt be calling him a moron.. you just did..
What youre not getting is what he eats or doesnt eat didnt affect her...it was the fact that he was a dick about it
either way it got to you. And that's what makes it funny. Again, instead of just making assumptions go read his other things. EVERY one of them are ignorant, but their also intelligent and funny. He's also written a book that sold well and was VERY well received.
It really didn't get to me. As I tried to explain I really couldnt care anymore, I learned a long time ago that if people want to make generalisations and try and look clever by saying dickish things (sarcastic or supposedly witty or not) then they will, and it's no skin off my back. I was just explaining what the other poster meant But as you two want it to have got to me then go ahead and think it did. Again, I don't care As for reading the other things the writer has written, no thanks. This snippet of his "work" didnt appeal to me, and just like when I don't like the sound of a book blurb I don't buy the book, I'm not going to waste my time here, no matter how popular he may be. The thread was about the quote and I thought the quote was outdated and crap
I don't care what a person does as long as they're not attacking what I do. Obviously if you post something condemning a certain lifestyle in a thread meant for that lifestyle you're going to get some sort of a reaction/response. Just because he can sell books doesn't mean hes right. Not my kind of humor but thx for bringing it this way I'm not really sure what people get out of coming around here just to make fun, or trying to find flaws in veggis. It's irritating. I don't go out searching for a meat eaters thread just to tease them. This is suppose to be a supportive thread for those making the transition and those who have already made it. If you want a place in this forum to act this way feel free to go make an "asshole" thread elsewhere. I'm sure you'll find plenty of acceptance there. Also.. My opinion was asked so my opinion was given
Yeah it did affect me because all he did was gloat all dinner at his reason for eating all of that blood. I don't think you understand what I said but that's okay, I wouldn't expect you to. People who come in here only to judge usually don't read very thoroughly because they already have something to say on the matter.
doesnt bother me.....i just think that guy needs to read more into vegetarianism....he is right that some vegetarians can be stuckup....but that can be anyone even meat eaters...i know for one the only reason i got *some* leather stuff is because ive had it since before i became veg and if i get rid of it just because of my vegetarianism, it will be a waste....i was sad to hear he wanted to eat 3 times more beef, your colon is going to hate you, but so be it ..its your life not mine im not here to preach...im just stating my views on it , just like you stated yours!!!
haha had I not previously seen that guy's other works, I probably would have been like WHAAAT?! this guy's main point of his humor, is to be a prick...and oddly enough, I think he's friggen hilarious.
