This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Vegetarians who eat chicken and/or fish
Why? I have no problem with vegesexuals - respect other peoples etc, but I cannot comprehend why it is unacceptable to some to slaughter pigs, sheep & cattle but ok with them to slaughter chickens and catch fish - either eat meat or don't.
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 14:38, 24 replies)
Because cows are mammals and therefore "cute"
fish and chickens aren't

simple as that

There are a million reasons why people choose to eat or not eat the things they do.
Some carnivores will only eat lamb and not beef.

Fuck it....Either eat meat or don't.

*shrugs*
The ones I know are all daffy-brained (and mostly women) who won't eat animals for sentimental reasons ("they yare so kyoooot!"), but find it hard to get sentimentally attached to a tin of tuna...While a lamb is bred and therefore only exists specifically for the purposes of eating, and a tuna is a wild animal being threatened by overfishing. I've got no time for these people at all because they're idiots.

I had one on Saturday who brought her own chicken skewers to our barbeque because she didn't know if our chicken skewers came from "happy" free-range chickens or not. Who cares? They're still dead and you're eating them, they're not going to be fucking happy about that, are they?

I love the way vegetarians say
"If you had to kill your own meat, could you? I mean, COULD YOU? Could you really club a cow to death? COULD YOU?"

Normally the best response to this is to look at them with daggers and say: "At the moment I'm seriously considering giving canibalism a go..." and just leave it hanging there...

Or just say:
"On the day that you grow all your vegetables from seed, grind your own flour to make bread and do whatever the fuck it is they do to make tofu and quorn. We have farmers for a fucking reason, twat."

Exactly
what the fuck is Tofu anyway? Some sort of draft excluder?

I would just say "I could and I have"
Because I could and I have.

They're not veggies. By a long shot.
I think the term is pescetarian.

These people who describe themselves as veggies mean that us proper veggies have to go out of our way to make sure restaurants or such don't include chicken or fish or shellfish in meals because "it's veggie".

If I ever go back to red meat, I know where I'll be getting it from... ~grabs a pickaxe and some rope~ Mwuahahaha!

I think the correct terms for them is CUNTS
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 15:07, closed)
Yes...
yes it is. I've just looked it up. Definately CUNTS...

nope
The correct erm is a fish-and-chipocrite
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 15:24, closed)
that
is indeed correct.
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 16:40, closed)
Either that
or vaguetarian
(, Mon 19 Oct 2009, 3:20, closed)
pescetarian
would imply that all they eat is fish, and would therefore have to be a penguin. cocks.
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 15:39, closed)
I want to be a penguin!!!
Can I? Can I? Please, PLEASE Can I?

One of the rock hoppers with the cool 'hair'?

Ffs!
I eat fish and not meat because I don't like meat as it tastes rank. I can put in my body what I choose and it doesn't have to stand up to others ideals of illogical inconsistency! Meateaters; enjoy your food and leave us the fuck alone! On another note, I would NEVER call myself veggie- but it is always meat eaters that call me so, even though I explain I eat fish time and time again.
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 16:07, closed)
And anyone who refered to those such as I as CUNTS
are CUNTS
(, Fri 16 Oct 2009, 16:08, closed)
Bah
Personal freedom - hurrah!
Don't like taste - woot!
Considered ideologies (like the happy chickens girl above) - yay!
Ill-considered ideologies (e.g. I eat fish because it's not really meat*) - cunts.

*Just because their nervous system is different and we don't understand it, doesn't mean they don't feel pain. Fish are slowly suffocated to death and industrial fishing is a huge environmental cost, a cow is stunned and then shot and feels nothing. How would you rather die?

this ^
On a side note i had a veggie flatmate who i witnessed having a hard time explaining his position to others.
Flatmate: Im a vegetarian
Girlfriend: But, but, those animals are reared for food..
(Oh its okay then?)
Flatmate: I'm a vegetarian
Other flatmate's boyfriend: I know exactely what you mean, i only eat chicken.
