# Yeah, but no, but yeah...
Plastic isn't the same as meat is it?

Oil is made from stuff that died thousends of years ago, and has just become a chemical.

It's hindus that buy cars with leather seats that I don't understand. But then I'm not going to pretend to know enough about that religion to pass judgement. I'm going to stop typing now.

# I just wondered how long
an animal has to be dead before vegans are allowed to use them. Is there a statute of limitations?

# Both, I think.
Having looked it up. Though I guess it's far from certain, seeing as homogenous black goop is difficult to reconstruct plants or animals from.
It's a good point, though. The oxygen in the atmosphere was originally an animal product, wasn't it?

# Yes, but that's a schools site.
If they don't know the answer to a question they just make it up in order to maintain a facade of authority.

# I dunno. This is a valid point.
But coal is made from dead trees, and oil is dead plankton. Isn't it?

# Yeah and don't Vegans all have pointy ears
and have incredible logic and say "Live long and Prosper" a lot?

# except it's not
because proper vegans don't.

Is that a boy or a girl?

I had dropped an "s" which I have edited, but why a question mark???????????

# "Does it matter?"
it's a question

# 'Does it matter?'
is a question, therefore it needs a question mark.

# More of a statement than a question
But I suppose symantically you're both correct and therefore totally miss the comedic value of my reply =P

# In order to be a proper vegan
I think one would have to wrap oneself in banana leaves, wear birch-bark sandles, eat coconuts and live in the jungle.

Actually kinda sounds fun.

in digital cameras though, so they might be ok.

# It's also surprising how many vegetarians eat jellybeans...

# Yeah
All those poor jellies and the inhumane way they're farmed purely for their 'beans'. They throw the rest of them away you know, utter waste.

# hmm
i think gronkpan is refering to the fact that jellybeans contain gelatine. I, as a veggie, won't eat such things.
