most people are stupid

seriously though, I have what is commonly referred to as tact. Even if I do think someone is stupid, or don't agree with their views I don't necessarily feel the need to call them out on it. Particularly if it has nothing to do with how I interact with them.

Otherwise you'd have disproved yourself above, there are at least three vegetarians posting at the minute. It is hard to argue with your point about gross human stupidity, though. Too much evidence backing it up.

I am under no illusions that I would persuade them to change
and nor would I try. I'd inform them that I think they are missing out, but no more than that really.

I wouldn't
Red rag to a bull. You'll end up in a protracted discussion about the nutritional benefits of various grains and pulses you've never heard of (best-case scenario) or animal rights

thing is
I don't have a problem with all the grains and pulses and stuff. Things like quinoa are quite nice.

But meat is fucking lovely.

I know, I know
I actually had quinoa for lunch yesterday. Simmered it for a while with some diced brocolli and boullion. It was really nice. But I'd rather have had SHARK

The problem with living with and cooking for a vegetarian is that meat is considered poor form. I do find it heightens my appreciation of it when I get it though

my ex was mostly a veggie as well
although she did eat fish, and if pushed chicken. She just didn't like meat, but unfortunately for her was allergic to peppers, and hated things like aubergine.

If she hadn't been a big fan of fish I couldn't have gone out with her for 2 and a half years.

the difference is though
on b3ta everything is fair game. My political sympathies, Bella's vegetarianism, AA's latent tranny status

indeed
it's refreshing to have a place where you don't have to hold back. I wouldn't have to with my friends, but we are a fairly homogenous bunch when it comes to our views, so I don't have to.

That said, we seem to have managed a serious discussion
in which no-one called each other a cunt. This place has CHANGED
