vegitarianism or veganism isnt a personal choice it is an imperative...its not you personal choice to cause sufferign and death for selfish reasons
I don't think anyone has a right to force their opinions on another person.

I agree with Adain-chan, here. I understand your views also Soymilk_Gun. I honestly think that the most harmonious approach to certain cituations is a non-violent one. To me, violence leads to more hatefull violence, a vicious cycle of concequences and repercussions. I truly admire those iconic individuals that managed to get their point across and even change things, like Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Siddhartha Gautama.

Well said. I think violence is against the hippy philosophy. There are other ways of changing the world.

ok whats worse, forcing an opinion on some one or taking their life against their will? i think its a hella lot more ok to force some one to go vegan than to kill animals day in day out

While Gandhi was marching to the sea Indian rebels were blowing up trains, while MLK was peacefully petitioning the govt militant blacks were organzing and arming themselves to defend their comunities...dont fool yourself into beleiveing that these events were won with complete non-violence. Oppressors will not give up their positions peacefully and while violence is regretable it is sometimes neccesary to defend life. Just because the threat to life isnt to your own life dosnet make it anyless important to fight by any means neccesary

I could care less what KFC does to their chickens, I laughed at those PETA videos and GoVeg.com was hilarious to me and my friends, I hunt and fish. I love animals but I like to eat them more. And, as a guy, if I became a vegitarian, I would be a failure of a son and be designated a p***y. Because any guy selling himself to those god damn vegitarian pussies... is a p***y.

Sometime I would like to become a vegetarian.. I don't know how, but I want to sometime. I think it'd be hard, cos i do love meat XD;;

Discuss:
Vegetarianism.
Are you a vegetarian?
Animal cruelty.
Loving meat.
I've been a Piscatarian (only meat I eat is fish) since August 13th, 2004, and it's incredibly easy to work with.

-Tofu, if cooked correctly with an interesting recipe, can be one of the tastiest things you'll ever eat.
-They have realistic replicas of Chicken Nuggets, Sausages of all kinds, Hamburger Patties, and many other meat products out there that are all completely vegetarian.
-After 8 or 9 months, your taste buds will make incredible developments that will give you a much wider range of things you can tolerate and/or enjoy. (did for me, anyway, and I still eat fish too!)
-A vegetarian or piscatarian diet is great for weight loss, because (as long as you still eat high-protein things regularly) your metabolism skyrockets and your fat intake drops like lead. (trust me; I've been trying to GAIN weight for the last 4 months.)


And some advice: Don't start off too hardcore; do something like give up just red meat at first, and make your way down the road from there. I started my quest for vegetarianism in 1998, and I intend to be a full vegetarian by 2008.

Pardon me, but I'd like to contradict you there.

First of all, insulting people is FAR from necessary; very immature.

Secondly, my father is as proud of me as any father could ever be. He supports me 100% in both my vegetarianism and pacifism, and wouldn't be caught dead calling anyone with the discipline it requires to hold steadily as a vegetarian a "p***y". The same goes for everyone else in both my direct and extended family, including my Texan relatives.

Thirdly, you ARE a p***y. You give in to what you think others will think of you. It takes one hell of a lot more courage to be a Proud Bisexual, Vegetarian, Pacifist, Environmentalist, Geeky, Loud-Mouthed, Long-Haired, Single FREAK than it does to be SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

What's your opinion on the consequences that violence has on every individual's life? Like the soldiers themselves, their families, mothers, sons, daughters, spouces? Can every conflict like those be solved only with violence?

I never said that but far to many people rule out violence completly as a solution (unless of course the victims of the proposed violence are people of color or there is a profit to be made from it)...the simple fact is that every year 200 billion animals are being directly murdered by humans, it has to stop somehow and so far an entirly peaceful approch dosent seem to be working to well (with the exception of the ALF who has made alot of progess)

there is a story of the Buddah killing a man that he knew would one day become a mass murderer...he did it as an act of compassion for the future killer and his victims so that he (buddah) would take on the karma for the death and also save many lives

should we alow murderers to continue along and in doign so we become complicite and acomplices in the murder or by taking a reletivly few number of live save billions?

Considering that we are violent by nature, (at least that's what I believe) I have to admit that violence does bring about change. Though the intelectual side of me asks, "At what price?"

I would like to hear more about the origin of this story of Buddah. I'm not going to discredit it, though I find it hard to believe. I must say that I'm very interested to hear more about it. 3nodding

that sounds like a very interesting E.D. discussion. Would you like to start a topic on that?

I don't eat meat because I think it's icky and cruel.

I do make exceptions, sometimes. I don't have problems eating tuna and other predatory fish. But anything that could RECOGNIZE me and even LOVE me I would never eat, e.g., beef.

I personally just don't like the taste of meat. It doesn't appeal to me. Chicken is okay, everyonce in a while, beef is just nasty. Too heavy and greasy for me.
