Why do some veg*ns even care what we omnivores eat or don't eat?!
Answers: I've noticed that there are a lot of leaf-lickin trolls here who make it a point to criticize and/or antagonize meat-eaters every chance they get. Why? I know that some vegans will say that they hate it when omnivores force their beliefs down their throats. If that's their argument, then let me say that as someone who's been a meat-eater for my entire life, I never try to convert others to my way of thinking and if anything, I merely expect others to show me the same courtesy. Not only that, but as much as the vegan trolls here like to accuse omnivores of ramming their beliefs down their throats, aren't they basically guilty of doing the same thing?
Well, veganism is not simply a lifestyle choice like smoking or doing yoga or drinking a glass of wine with dinner.
It's usually based upon a very sincere world-view about the nature of death and cruelty. As such, it borders upon religious fervor for its adherents, and to a lesser extent, to those who are being endlessly accosted by these people.
Vegans are not vegetarians who do it solely for health reasons. They do it out of consciousness. They're trying to make their world a better place as they see it, and people with that kind of goal usually become evangelical.
If you consider it like an evangelical religion, which is to say... a group of people who have made a serious and life-long decision to change their behavior based upon what they see as inarguable correctness in ones own actions, it's easier to understand why they do it even if it's NOT easier to put up with. Just like the Jehovah's Witness at your door, the Mormons on your porch, or the anti-sex, anti-logic Baptists on your television, they have a vision that they truly believe you will understand if they just HAMMER YOU OVER THE HEAD HARD ENOUGH, OFTEN ENOUGH.
Evangelists of all stripes need to mind their own business. But they won't. Welcome to the 21st century.
Awhile ago some vegan told me I was going to Hell for eating meat. It was totally uncalled for and untrue, but I found it rather amusing.
what a unique and interesting questions! you are absolutely 100% right. The other question made me feel as if I was a horrible person for eating meat. ANd my whole life I didn't even care about vegans! as if you wouldn't befriend a person just because she is vegan. Sometimes people like to self pity for no reason at all.
Wow! Your post sounds eerily familiar! I can understand why you would plagiarize my writings, though, since you probably have a hard time with basic English grammar.:)
Anyhow, as a long-time vegetarian animal rights supporter, I make it a point to not force my beliefs down other people's throats. That being said, though, I definitely support any and all legislation and measures that promote the protection of the rights and welfare of non-human animals.:)
I must get on here at the wrong time or something cause all the vegan questions I see on here are bashing vegans, not the other way around. I've been getting on here for years and I see 95% of the bashing coming from meat eaters.
If you would've actually read the answers from the other question you would have found that most don't care. And um, WHAT? Vegan trolls in their own section....what the hell are you talking about?
You, pinche puto, need to get a life!
Guess what...this section is titled "Vegetarian and vegan"
I don't think there is any more need to type. If you cannot understand it now, there is no point in explaining further
EDIT: Thankyou for vindicating my decision not to explain further. By your additional comments its clear you did not even read the question posed ealier. It was aimed at trolls, not meat-eaters.
If we get to you so much, try the little cross in the top right of your screen. It'll work wonders for your blood pressure.
Perhap before you do that, you can surf to a dictionary and look up the word "Irony", its clear you don't know what that is either.
silly ar se.
opps sorry, did i type that or just think it ?
Mostly they don't.
I don't think you have actually noticed a lot of veg*n trolls on here; I think perhaps you've read one question on here and decided to take the piss out of it.
A troll is someone who posts to an internet site with the intention of causing trouble and antagonising other users. We have a few regular trolls - meat-eaters - who are obsessed with veg*nism - it's bizarre - and are thoroughly unpleasant.
It is these few people the writer of the original question is asking about; she wasn't calling all meat-eaters trolls.
Interesting I rarely answer any questions outside of V&V. If what you are experienceing is the usually I am very sorry. I don't want flak as a V nor should V's give nonsense to others. Being RUDE is just not exceptable behavior from anyone. Don't we teach our 2 years olds that?
the ones who do it are also the ones who gripe about the religious freaks who push their crap on them.
They talk out of both sides of their mouths and think that killing animals is SOOOO bad.....many dumbass vegans and veggies I've encountered were wearing leather shoes, sleeping under a goose down blanket, some vegetarians still eat cheese?!...hello, rennet is from a cow stomach....
they don't have anything better to do because they are too weak from not eating MEAT.....HooRah!!!!
EDIT.....
AS for the V&V category statement.....don't forget....all the questions come up on the front page in any order from any catagory..
I answer from there for variety so it's not JUST people seeking out the veggies just to pick on them...
I don't care what you eat. Get that straight. I DO care when certain meat-eating trolls come to the VEGETARIAN & VEGAN section and spew hate, judgement, false information and a lot of other crap. If you don't want to hear what veg*ns have to say, don't come here. It's really THAT simple.
I don't know why you other veg*ns out there, are calling meat eaters, trolls. If they want to eat meat, let them eat meat, you already posed your arguments in 10+ other threads.
(YES VEG*NS I'M CALLING YOU OUT, FOR BEING OBSESSIVELY ANNOYING) (the obsessively annoying ones anyways)
You guys give vegetarians/vegans bad names.
And don't lecture me on how if we just let them eat meat it destroys the earth/ makes animals suffer. They know, and they don't care. So there's no point to repeatedly irritate them.
(yes I'm vegan)
And I don't know why the author of the original one got offended. You're asking for it, if you're calling meat eaters, trolls.
it is because they are so high on dank that they think they can tel us what we can and cant do
Like almost any belief those who believe wants others to believe the same because they think it beneficial or right, beyond just themselves.
There are exceptions to this rule but say you believe the world is being destroyed by global warming. You could have a zero carbon footprint but the rest of the world could keep on trashing the planet unless others believe as you do.
When it comes to not eating meat many to most veg*ns do it in part for moral reasons. Why would they only want themselves and not want others to follow living and eating in an ethical fashion?
Yes, I could save hundreds maybe thousands of animals in my lifetime by simply not eating meat. But literally billions and billions and billions of animals are slaughtered each year for human consumption regardless of whether I eat meat or not. Unless Veg*nism becomes a trend suffering on a mass scale will continue.
Now one can go about influencing omnivores to go veg*n in a tactful and respectful manner or they can be boorish about it. You find these to methods applied in almost any belief system.
Personally I think it more effective to be mindful and respectful about your approach. But it still does not mean that veg*ns should not naturally care what the rest of the world eats. I know some will try to tell you differently, but most of us really do care. And now you have your answer.
Blessings : )
P.S. There are Trolls in this section who pretend to be veg*ns and give extreme questions and answers on purpose to make the community look bad. A user named Ashly is one of the more infamous ones. To take one of these questions or answers as indicative of the community is misrepresentation at best.
i'm happy for people to eat what they like; i would like them to consider how the animals are reared and killed. if it's done humanely, good; and the meat tastes better
About 10 billion animals are slaughtered every year in the U.S. alone, just so that we can enjoy the taste of meat. While everyone's entitled to his/her own opinion, freedom of thought is not the same thing as freedom of action. I do care about actions that harm others, whether it's rape, child abuse, or animal cruelty. I will continue to care as long as billions of animals are being abused and slaughtered on factory farms and slaughterhouses like this: http://www.meat.org
"Awhile ago some vegan told me I was going to Hell for eating meat. It was totally uncalled for and untrue, but I found it rather amusing."
If anything, you would go to hell for NOT eating meat. God put animals on this earth for us to eat. They are food! And some people here feel the need to worship them.
The vegan group is an extremist group of people who are absolutely obsessed with controlling other people's dietary habits and stopping everyone from eating meat.
