I believe you are insulting other members, if you don't like what you see in here find somewhere else to spend your free time.
You might also want to look into getting some anger management.
I'm American, vegetarian and I will be having my 51st birthday later this month; I have two college degrees.
My wife is Indian, Hindu and raised vegetarian, registered dietitian with a masters in nutrition. Her family is mostly vegetarian; most of the young kids raised in the US are eating meat, though. One cousin, however, is in her 20s, vegetarian, and has just been accepted in law school. (She used to live in England but is adamant about staying here in the US now.)
The only vegan I ever met face to face is a 90 year old Hindu religious leader.
I honestly don't know anyone who fits your description.
Why do you find it necessary to be condescending? What's your beef? (Pun intended)
You are a troll.
Like all trolls, you only see what you want to see.
==========
Ha, listen to yourself, the only use that you can make of yourself is to insult other people on an internet forum.
Do tell, what misinformation have I fallen prey to?
=========
I've read your answers, you're a f*cking troll. Don't kid yourself.
I don't preach to anyone or try to hype anything up, so sorry, but you're the one with your head up your @ss.
"Oh for fucks sake- grow up!"
"Bloody grow up and learn to spell.
You sound at *least* 12"
Yes, we get it, you are very proud to be more intelligent than a 12 year old. Big f*cking deal
It would be wise to get your facts straight before you accuse others of being misinformed. Here in the States our system is more heavily influenced by corporate greed. Veal confinement follows a different story than in the UK. You should know these things since American pre-pubescent teens seem to bother you much more than those of your own nation/state.
You sound very wise to suggest segregating youth to their own ideas and misinformation and keeping them away from the voices and minds of much more mature adults.
You seem way too emotional and combative for an oh-so-intelligent 35-year-old.
No one here cares to read your resume but thanks anyways.
I am so sure that the "vast majority" of vegans are 13 to 25. If you don't want to read what YOU feel is children in America answering and asking questions then go hang out with all those kids in Britain that you seem to be so fond of. In the USA, veal crates are legal in most states. I sure hope that those kids where you are grow up to be a better more compassionate person than you. You are nothing.
EDIT: I also looked at your Q&A, you sure do seem to be a worthless Troll.
You are onto a looser with that one.
There are some adults here, we know who we are and work around the trolls.
There is nothing wrong with "pre-pubesent American teenagers" asking questions, its the style of the questions thats wrong.
There are some very thoughtful, intelligent and considerate people in this forum.
When the forum started, it was mainly adults with a lot of questions like you are asking about.
EDIT 1
Do you think this is an Adult question ? I dont.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...I've looked at your Q&A history. I don't really see much in the way of intelligence or sensible questioning.
And your rant and unwarranted insults in this question really does make you look like the uneducated child you are protesting about.
and your answer here
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... makes me beleive you are exactly as Krister describes.
To be honest, i think once people see your history, they will be sorry they gave you the time of day by answering this.
You are an angry troll, just accept it.
EDIT 2
You don't really want to play the "my education / experience is bigger than yours" game on here, you would loose, no doubt.
EDIT3
If you want to look at really childish behaviour in this forum, check out this person:
http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt...I bet you don't criticise them, they are obviously a meat-eater and where would that leave your "logic" ?
There are some educated people here, and some not- as with any section. education does not guarantee good/bad answers though.
I do hope you were not drawing a parallel between Veg*nism and education ( the lack of ) though. I doubt there is a correlation either way.
I would also like to see your poof for the "vast majority of vegans in the world range between the ages of 13 and 25" statement which you make with such certainty.
I will also have you know that I was not vaguely influenced by PeTA videos.
Maybe they have a life and you don't? What is your education? Me I have business certificate 4.By the way can you help me with my bf lol. Forgot to tell you I'm 53. These kids may not have any one to turn to or they are to scared, so amenity maybe is what they want. If I can help one child with advice, that is great. You don't have to go into those areas.You sound so selfish.
whats with the american thing?
this sites for everyone around the world, plus some of us find it faster to mispell, i know people could read my writin anyway.
by the way
- if uve got a thing against teens, then u go on an adult site.
dont get me wrong, i know jus how weird it could get when theres all sorts of ages but everyones different - we got different personalities... 'preciate it!
Yeah, you are an interesting british welcome to mingle here, educate us, lead us and some help pleeeeassssse. (if you willing to do so). If not. Refrain from humiliating others who are still learning, who are not as smart as you!
Don't know where to start.
Yes the majority of people using this board are very young, and yes, the the zeal of a new convert coupled with extreme youth can be irritating.
There's nothing wrong with it though; good grief, if you can't hold passionate beliefs in your teens when can you?
Most of them ask questions on here because they want information (what's wrong with that?), and a large number of well-informed adults use this board and attempt to answer those questions.
You certainly ARE drawing a parallel between lack of education and veganism: ''Deluded, misinformed, uneducated to the facts, brainwashed by the likes of Peta propoganda videos.'' - your words.
Congratulations on achieving five A levels. I'm assuming one of them wasn't English? You ask for 'articulated' answers; you mean articulate. And you demonstrate a rather cavalier attitude to apostrophes. Shall I go on?
Oh, and I'm a Brit, a couple of decades older than you are, vegan, never seen a PETA video, don't feel the need to brag about my education.
Q: Where are all the educated adults?
A: up ur bum picking daisy's :)
Why do you care whether people are vegs or not? You have to understand that the corporates hold more power over us. That's why I can't wait to get out of this country because we're so stupid. If you see a fat person walking around, that's an american.
Be careful, I got my first violation today for saying something negative about PETA. I did not use abusive language or anything either. Some people are just way too sensitive. Unfortunately if you don't agree with certain people they will report you. How sad.
