If you don't like meat, that's your choice, but the comment "you could if you put your mind to it. You're all just weak" shows exactly why vegetarians get the grief you mention.

If "Meat is murder", then Vegetarianism is the attempted subversion of society by moral manipulation. Think about this: PETA will go to a child and say "Do you like this cute little puppy?" Child will nod, then PETA will scream "WELL STOP EATNIG BURGERS YOU MURDERING FUCK, AS EVERY BURGER IS LIKE SMASHING A PUPPY WITH A BRICK". I believe this is their next marketing campaign, actually (but it's not far from the truth).

There is no rational conversation with a militant veggie and it's the same with animal rights nutters. Look, we don't need to put mascara on beagles (although it makes them look damned sexy), so obviously that testing can stop (in fact, if ugly women stop lying about their appearance and just admit they're not attractive, we can do away with makeup altogether...).

However, if we can treat cancer or cure alzheimers by sacrificing a few lab rats or the odd kitten, then I'd be first in line to stove their head in with a spade.

That's my problem with the militant veggie/animal rights loon - they have no logic to their argument. You can't ever have a rational covnersation about the subject with them - you either agree with them, or you're a murdering-evil-enviro-rapist who probably nonces kids, too.

You're a very serious young man aren't you?
I don't think this is the website for you.




And I didn't call anyone stupid.


Edit - And now you've changed your post. *confuses*

I wouldn't worry too much BGB
if chad is upset with you, it's probably because HIS SENSE OF MORAL OUTRAGE at being a WHITE HETROESEXUAL MAN is being continually pissed on by DARKIES CRIPPLES AND QUEERS.

well, how's this...
my parents are disable, 80% of my workamates are either gay, or from overseas and my wife's best mate is a sri lankan lesbian, so I don't think I'm too outraged by life.

And what I said was, if you'd bothered to read it, that rather than equality (which I believe in) which states everyone is equal and should be judged purely on their actions and interactions with you, that we have a system of positive discrimintation.

If you want an example - look at Queer Eye For the Straight Guy - good TV, right, now reverse it and you'd get protests in the street. Jo Brand can stand on stage and say men are shit all evening long and it's hilarious, yet if you had a fat ugly male comedian badmouthing women, he'd be reviled (hello, Mr Manning).

I'm not saying either is true, or "right" in its thinking, what I say is that either BOTH should be allowed and acceptable, or NEITHER should be - there should be no double standards regardless of race, creed, religion, sexuality, gender or disability. That said, I think a dwarf applying for a job as a basketball player and then suing for discrimination when they are turned down is something that should also be outlawed - there is too much "card-pulling" going on. Now we are in a situation where businesses are scared not to hire a minority candidate for fear of being sued, where the only deciding factor should be ability to fill the role, etc.

Live and let live, say I.

Hope I'm not being insulting here...
....but did you get your friends and family second hand from a late night channel 4 sitcom?

I knew a Sri Lankan lesbian once.
I wonder if it's the same one? Is there more than one Sri Lankan lesbian in the world? Does anybody know?

While most of this post
suggests you need to chill the fuck out a bit and stop taking life so seriously, I have some sympathy about your opinions on PETA.

these are the people who, I believe, are trying to persuade people to call baby fish "Sea kittens" to make them seem more cute and killing and eating them more morally reprehensible

There isn't enough facepalm in the world to express just how utterly fucking idiotic that is.
