the thing that gets me is people who say they vegetarians eat fish. aren't fish meat?
Yeah those aren't vegetarians, they're pesticarians or something like that >.> <.< I can't remember the name! Some "vegetarians" just aren't very well informed and just call themselves that.
i guess but....i just feel sorry for the fish for they aren't being concidered as anything

Ah, you're a witch. Oh dear. Carry on.

i can't help but sense an air of sarcasm/rudeness there, man. neutral

um... let's try to stay away from things that'll make you sound like an a**... cot.

xd ok you get what i mean. i know you're just genuinely curious but with that must come an open mind to all the answers given, otherwise you're not just curious.. you're curious as to how to prove yourself right.
if that made any sense.

by the way thanks for ignoring what i said neutral
He's being kind of rude throughout the thread if you haven't noticed m'dear Lizz

You're unnecesarily paranoid ^_^

No, I think Sanzo got it.

Because he didn't comment on the rest of her post and zeroed in on that?

First, yes I'm Catholic. Second, no I do not follow the teachings of the Bible but thats for another discussion. Yes he supposedly made us above them but that doesn't mean we're supposed to ABUSE them. We are supposed to take care of them. To some people that means not eating them. I still stand by the idea that People=animal


You don't follow the teachings of the bible? Then you're not a Catholic.

God tells you specifically that we are above other animals. What more information do you need exactly?
Don't tell me what religion I am, I know what religion I am and you have NO right to tell me what I follow and what I don't follow. I never ASKED you for information I am simply stating reasons that vegetarians are vegetarians, I never said I was one. Stop making assumptions.


Catholics follow the teaching of the bible. That's what Catholicism is about. You don't. You're not part of that religion. It's as simple as that.
STOP TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT RELIGION I AM! I may not follow the Bible but I follow a lot of the Catholic practices and THAT'S what counts more than anything.


There's no gray area in Catholicism. You are, or you aren't. Following "a lot" of it's practices is ridiculous. Why do you do it? Why not all of them?

Yeah I fail to see the logic behind it too... I mean if they call themselves vegetarians because they don't want to eat animals shouldn't the realize they're eating animals if they're eating fish? confused Those people are obviously not the sharpest tools in the shed

I don't react well to some vegetarians... I, myself, beleive that all animals and people are equal... Therefore, we are all game on the scale of the food-chain.

There was a girl I knew (not very bright, imo) who became vegetarian because of the videos and stuff she saw online... A lot of them made by the PETA (never liked them)... So I have for a while associated vegetarianism (veganism, especially...) with her... an instant aversion to the idea >_<

I'd need more of an explaination on the health-reasons... :/ you can get the same balance of benefits and complications no matter which diet you choose... Cept the "raw foods" diet... that's just funny!


Yeah, that's my stance, more or less.


Wasn't it you who said "humans are at the top of the food chain"?

An ingenious use of my username mispelled there ¬_¬

I have strong opinions on that particular subject. No one wants to hear them.

I wanted an explaination of how vegetarianism didn't defy all natural logic. Eventually, I got one. YOu were probably all trying to say the same thing, but it took a while for it to be written in a way I could understand. Potentially, a fault on my part.

Stop trying to derail this into my religion, what I believe in religion is my own goddamn business. I have my reasons, I have questioned my religion and found it much easier to stay in the religion because I agree with more of it then I disagree with. What I believe is my own decision, it is what I choose to believe don't tell me I'm wrong for calling myself Catholic

Yep, we're at the top. If an animal lower down on it thinks it can eat me, it's welcome to try. It might succeed. If so, it doesn't mean that humans as a species are any less low on the food chain; just that the bear/wolf/pig got lucky.

I was Christian yet I believed the bible was a work of fistion. Now, I don't know much about the Catholic religion, but you are being extremely rude. You can't tell someone what religion they are. Are you an authority on the Catholic religion, unless you are you cannot tell Sanzo what religion she follows.

Sanzo...

We don't eat meat on some days, but we eat fish right, why is this allowed? Lol. Why can't they be a different kind of vegetarian?

O.o I can't expand right now.

Thankies. 3nodding

On Topic:

I'm not a vegitarian. There are certain animals I'd feel uncomfortable eating (I have an affinity for dogs and cats, having them for pets), but as long as the animal is not endangered or a danger to my health (diseases and whatnot), I guess it's fair game. I'll elaborate on this if you all wish.
