Why do omnis post here?

Isn't this section of hipforums for vegetarians, as its called "Vegetarian". Why do omnis purposely come into this section just to argue against everything that is said?
If you come into the Vegetarian section of the forums, expect the topics to not condone meat.

Otherwise, leave us alone, please.

 

see your other thread.

this is a free speech forum. the vegetarian/vegan forums are not solely for those practising, but for the discussion of said topics.

edit: in a respectful manner, of course.


peace

 

Post

 

It's not "free speech" per se, when everytime I want to ask fellow vegetarians advice/opinions, and I always get bombarded with insulting remarks from omnis. Even if they would just let off a little, I'd feel better.

Rules and free speech aside, why do omnis WANT to post here though? I don't desire going into the gay/lesbian forum to disagree with all their posts, simply because I'm straight.

 

some people do wish to voice their opinions for or against a cause.

if your problem is with people posting insulting responses, then that's another matter, and it's up to the mods to take care of those people. you also have the option of putting certain people on ignore. other than that, this is a free speech website, and if you can't handle fair discussion or disagreements to your philosophy, then the problem is only with yourself, and how open your mind is.


peace & love

 

Why shouldn't I voice my opinion? I've not got much against veggies, to be honest - a lot of people post pretty offensive stuff in here, compared to me. But on the psychic forum and so on, I'll be as rude as I like. Why? Because I'd expect the same if I was in their shoes. If you go on the 'net and make blatantly stupid statements, expect to have them criticized. I'm not going to read someone saying "oh yeah, virgos are way cool!" and not tell them they're stupid - they deserve it!

 

Yup short for omivores.

Seems the most honest and respectful term for them.

Don't understand why they would either. Not that they should be banned, was an omni when I started posting here. It's not always healthy just to insular and have no one shake up your ideas.

I working on the principle of treat others as I'd wish to be treated. So am very against the hostility. Yeah there are things which offend me about omnis and they do spout some crap, but you don't see me trolling forums about hunting and fighting with them.

Most people I know are omnis, and they don't exactly fall over themselves agreeing with me, which is probably true for everyone else. We get enough ignorance, apathy and shit IRL, trust me there's no need for more.
No one is doing any harm posting with comments and wanting suppourt for vegetarianism. This is just somewhere to go where people will understand.

There is no need to retaliate or push your agenda. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean those convictions aren't deeply held.
We've heard it all from the media and clearly don't agree. Or wouldn't be here in the first place. It doesn't help, just makes for bitter pissed off alienated people.

In short: If you don't like it, don't read it.

 

Don't sweat it sis. hopefully it will be in some way a eye opener for them becouse we
are not omnni's or vege's but human's and It comes down to some people being smarter than others in our decisions and sharing our insight with the world.

 

"smarter than others"

I presume you aren't trying to imply that veggies are smarter?

 

meh I used to feel like you, Ophelia--- but just take it all in stride, it's just the internet you know.

I really don't care anymore; I tend to just ignore the comments unless they are directly saying something to me, or whatever---

just the internet, babe-- let it go

 

well it isn't hard to see that people that take care of thier vessel and people that just don't are happier people and that makes them smarter

 

"take care of their vessel"? You mean body, right?

Just to be clear, are you seriously trying to say that only veggies 'take care of their vessel', and therefore are happier and smarter?


Everyone else: Sorry for feeding the troll, but it's free entertainment and I'm a little bored!

 

Maybe most omni's have eaten a veggie meal before & liked it.
Maybe some omni's have spent "some" time trying to be veggie before.
Maybe someone in the omni's family is a veggie.
Maybe the rules for this veggie forum didn't explain that omni's weren't supposed to post here...if they were then maybe omni's didn't read them.

 

I agree with Ophelia, it is quite annoying that they come here purposely to aruge with us about our decisions, but they are going to do it regardless, and they'll probably even do it more now. Just ignore them, but if you really want advice or more support for your views, and would prefer not to have to defend yourself at the same time, you could always try joining a veggie-friendly message forum. There are a ton of them, and they can be quite helpful. You could do a search for them, or I also know of a website that lists about 8 or so veg forums (some of them are just for vegans, or people interested in veganism, at least) I'd rather not post the site here, because I could see some people signing up and trolling over there, as well, and though they'd be banned quickly, I'd rather that the mods didn't have to go to any more extra work. If you want this website, or want me to suggest a few forums, just pm me.. I'd be happy to help. Anyway, good luck with that.

 

some people are dicks.

 

Meaties post in veggie forums because they are either...

a) open-minded individuals who are curious
b) interested in trying vegetarianism and would like to know more
c) insulted/offended by a vegetarian, so they take it out on all of us
d) opinionated asses who feel the need to attack anyone who disagrees
e) adolescents with too much free time and no friends
f) large men with very small penii

 

I am a) d) and f)

 

^ lmao!


I like you, crummyrummy. You can stay!

 

he likes me!!!!!!
