So actually vegans are very normal people. They go to strip clubs and get high on angel dust. Sometimes they get so high they forget their stash on the table. Do you think they go to strip clubs because they want to look at meat? Seeing as they can't really have any? Not sure I really really understand this though ....
We have quite a few here where I live and I often go to them. Makes for a change and having a meatless meal once in a while is a good thing as well as the ones I go to the food is really divine.
people who are passionate about anything can be obnoxious about it. i just have to look at what cars and private property do to the landscape to feel obnoxiously about both. meat IS murder. which just doesn't happen to stop me from eating it. if i could have my meat without supporting all the things done wrong by the meat industry, without having to kill and butcher it myself, i would certainly not hesitate to do so. even so, i feel it well within reason, to protest the inhumane treatment of any living thing that has a cerebral cortex, even if i am going to eat it.
Vegans are obnoxious when they utter statements like meat is murder. Protesting inhumane treatment of animals that are kept in order to become dinner some day is very good. Essential even, in my book. But it is something different than proclaiming silly generalized statements. Even if meat is murder what use does it have nagging on it? Does it stop becoming murder when these animals are treated humanely? NO. They die either way, they just live happier lifes without mistreatment. So battling against the meat industry for health reasons for both consumers and animals: excellent and very important. Doing so through statements like meat is murder: lame and possibly counterproductive. In the worst case it will annoy people so much they never take a vegan seriously again
In real life, I know like one vegan (I think...he was definitely a vegetarian the whole time we were close and was very much on his way to veganism). I only speak to him through Facebook these days, which he hates, so I really don't know all that much about him anymore. But he's definitely the type to shove his beliefs and lifestyle in everyone he knows in real life's faces (I was in love with him once and became a vegetarian for 3 years as a result). But I don't think any of this is a product of his diet. It's just because he's a douchebag who thinks everyone should live, think, and feel just like him. I wouldn't say it's the diet that's the problem with any of them. It's just that assholes are loud and so it's the assholes you're gonna hear from in just about every group.
There is some awesome vegan food but to turn it in to cult-think lIke some do and look down on others for ther choice seems wrong. Life feeds on life. all should be thanked and respected. If "meat is murder" then so is tilling the ground and killing all those worms or spraying organic pest killer Been meaning to check it out "house of the devil" kind of funny the last time I went to a strip club it was an old one that is famous for it's cheap steak diner.
35 People arrested at Nations first Vegan Strip Club While millions of shoppers throughout the United States were fighting cold weather and crowds for the best deals, hundreds of people in Portland, Ore. overwhelmed a vegan strip club in the early morning hours of Black Friday. Casa Diablo, billed as the world’s first vegan strip club, held its first ever Black Friday sale Nov. 28, and was clearly unprepared for the onslaught of excited customers who braved the rain for hours for the club’s 5 a.m. opening. Patrons of the Northwest Portland establishment got into a brawl over 59¢ a minute lap dances, despite the club’s attempt to be prepared by having 24 dancers available that morning. “We were utterly blown away by the amount of customers who showed up this morning,” said Cruelty-free Cleopatra, who is one of the club’s most popular dancers. The melee started when a patron, later identified as Atticus Sanford, 42, was in line for a dance from Broqolee, and noticed the patron ahead of him had gone over the 10-minute limit instituted by the club to ensure they could accommodate all the customers who showed up.

Cruelty free cleopatra and broqolee. I'm not sure if those are the best or worst stripper names I have ever heard.
Yay there's more ridiculous stripper names if you read the article! Wendy Wheatgrass and renewable Rhonda. Amazing.
Well certainly traditional names wouldn't work like Bambi (well maybe that might work) Crystal Dynasty Tiffany Amber Brandy Lola Angel Candy Jade Destiny Chastity Raven Star Skye Trinity Lexie Porsche Hotwater
I'm a 30 plus year vegetarian and I'm going to disagree. I recall an early visit to Watercourse Foods, in Denver, back when it was on 13th street (now City O City and owned by someone else. Still veg) and a dinner with loved ones overlaid by the "vegan for 168 hours dude at the next table reciting every damn vegan cliche I ever heard, inaccurate facts and just preaching. Dude, it's a veg restaurant, we know what you are trying to say. .give it a rest. Online, I think everyone is just defensive, be they veg, paleo, SAD, raw (now there's some interesting folks), gluten free, fat free. Sugar free, Weston Price Foundation, whatever. Sure you think your diet is the best. That's why you follow it. So when someone else reads that surety, it's taken for arrogance and replies tend to be personal. In the words on my mom, shut up and eat your food.
one of my good friends is vegtarian..or maybe vegan i dont know i just know he says he doesnt eat "anything that has a face" he never says much about it...we often go to restaurants together he prefers buffet style and just picks in the veggie dishes and white rice he's currently dying of heart disease that runs in his family...im sure his choices have extended his life so far
