vegetarianism
Guitar Nerd
comments. Tonight a friend of mine and i got in a discussion with this
girl about why she's a vegetarian and what her logic and reasoning is
behind it. Every reason of hers didn't work. She would always end up
contradicting herself. Is anyone here a vegetarian that can give me
their logic and reasoning behind being a vegetarian? I would really
appreciate it. Who knows, maybe someone will turn me into a
vegetarian. It's not likely, but i'd like to hear peoples' opinions.
Thanks!

hey. i have a friend that is a vegetarian (mostly, she does some fish, but
only in sushi). she dose it for health reasons, but it started out as money
reasons. when she was in college, it was cheaper to buy vegetables and
related foods than chicken and beef and such. then she noticed that she was
keeping those horrid college pounds off, so she stuck with it.
as for me, i'm definitely not rich and could stand to eat healthier, but
cows and chickens and pigs sure taste good!

everthing is living!
help some old lady accross the street using that roast chicken!
give the animal realm more than you take from it!
indeed, a plant will grow if you talk with it!
thank that pepper for giving you that will!
when a flower dies, you might like to say something like "you gave me

I know a girl who doesn't eat meat because she doesn't like the
consistency of it.

reasons mostly, although im not particulary proud of the horrible way
anamilas are treated in the food industry.
cows are people too:)
but they're also damn tasty,
xspecially with bbq sauce

in particular vegan diets, are healthier for you. In general, vegans do live
longer (although this may be attributed to an overall healthier lifestyle, of
which diet is only a part). My question would be, why would you want to live
longer if all you're going to eat is grains & vegs? I mean, ever have rabbit
stew? Cheeseburger & fries? Bolognese? The thing that kills me is
"vegetarians" that eat fish. HEY, FISH AREN'T VEGETABLES.

miss meat at all. What really got me started was pig disection as a
sophomore....and then a gradual cut down from pork/beef....then chicken
etc...to finally fish...

but for religious or pity for the animals, all i say to you is that yr a big big big bad thing
because:
1-there;s no god to see you
2- flowers have feelings too
it;s really stupid not to care about killing ants w. yr foot, and crying when yr automobil hits a dog.
humans have pity for human-like animals. animals w/ big eyes, friendly.not ants

big big big bad thing
>because:
>1-there;s no god to see you
then they obviously would not agree with you.
>2- flowers have feelings too
since when did plants develop a nervous system? where exactly among the
systems composed of cellulose, xylem and phloam do these "feelings" lie?

>hits a dog.
>humans have pity for human-like animals. animals w/ big eyes, friendly.not
ants
yeah, by the same logic its just as "really stupid" for someone to care more
that they killed a human being than if the killed a hamster. get real.
and by the way read a book on biology. there is a huge difference in the
nervous systems of mammals and bugs which means there is a huge difference
in their ability to feel pain. it is not the fact that the meat industry
kills the animals, but rather the appalling conditions under which the
animals live and painful methods of death involved that bother me and, i
know, a lot of others. think before u speak. im fact, just think.

I know it's sad, but that's how the industry works. If there's a way
they could go around the horrible conditions and shit like that, i'm
almost sure they would. That's how the world works. Everyone needs
their paycheck.
vagelis/s
1 there is no god (in my humble opinion)
2 i agree that mammals feel pain differently than ants.i didnt mean to offend anyone
i cant see the diference betwteen killing a human and a dog.i dont know if i should get real, or everyone else.
harmfull
even trying to joke) that fish/chicken is not meat so i should eat it.

If you get criticised for doing something you didnt do, then whats the reason
to not do it anyway? Your guilty of that crime no matter what you do.

Haha, "You killed that carrot you fucking murderer!" that's what i said
to that girl i was arguing with, cause by her logic, she really was a
murderer. All she had to say was "No, that's different from animals."
What an idiot. She said "Anyone who eats meat is an ignorant
murderer." Some people just need attention to feel any self-worth.
Guitar Nerd
I think the difference between killing a dog and a human is that humans
can think based on logic and emotion, not just instinct. Can a dog
ponder the meaning of its existence? No, it justs stays alive
instinctively. You never hear about doggy suicides.
Shelrocker
environmental impacts. Rain forest being killed off to graze the living beef
to send off to other countries. If you have forgotten, this is where we get
most of our oxygen. As cheeseball as it sounds, later on we will need that
air...our kids if u choose to have some will too....Don't be so apathetic to a
point where you can't see the long term effects of this.
Now, i don't believe i am a "fucking fool" for quietly respecting my own
choices and beliefs.

no one and no thing in this universe thinks except for you, the subject.
everyone else just goes through the actions.
