Why are vegetarians so full of angst?!


Question: Why are vegetarians so full of angst!?
I've found that very few or no vegetarians can either take a joke, or smile!. What's that all about!?
A few smiles never hurt anybody!. Unless you have botox injections!.
I've seen Hitler smile and laugh more than I have vegetarians!.

I think it's unfair to generalize!. That's equal to saying that a certain race or religious belief does any certain thing, or doesn't do something!. That would be ridiculous to say, just like your question is to ask!. I'm a vegetarian and I'm the happiest person I know!. I smile a lot!. In answer to a response above, I eat many different items, too, very happily, and knowing full well with absolute certainty that they do not contain animals!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you've ever met the vegans I've met!. And you certainly have never met me!.

I am vegan and I even posted a vegan joke on here earlier!.

If you are talking about when we are attacked and cornered by questions from certain meat-eaters, well that's a natural reaction that anyone gets when they are ganged up on and people question their values and intentions!.

It's not a vegan/vegetarian thing, it's human!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, the old thumbs down fairy is probably in comparing vegetarians to Hitler I'm afraid!. I'm not sure most people wouldnt like that comparison much!

Of course we veggies laugh, but many of us are also very tuned in with nature and the natural world, and seeing what humanity is doing to it is heartbreaking for many of us!. It just doesn't have to be that way!.

I try and laugh all, I can believe me!. But I confess: its sometimes a challenge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a vegetarian and a lot of people like to shove meat in my face or joke about how "chicken isn't meat" or 'jokingly' say that being a vegetarian is "stupid" I don't take it as a joke when either of those things are done!. I don't take vegetarianism as a joke!. I love animals and when I see meat I think of how they were tortured and slaughtered!. It's honestly just not that funny to me!.!.!. I don't sit around and preach to meat-eaters about how I think their eating meat is disgusting and immoral so I don't want a meat-eater preaching to me about how what I am doing is stupid and "not helping anyone!." it's helping me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

they more than likely are upset when they realize no matter what they eat there is some form of animal involved!. think about it - the ground is full of those big bone animal who had the nerve to just drop dead anywhere!. the only way they can make sure they are not eating any form of animals is not to eat at all!. how can they smile when they know they are not true vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have been a vegetarian for 13 years and I am a pretty happy person!. Always smiling and in a good mood!. Maybe the vegetarians you've met are just unhappy people in general and the vegetarian thing is just a coincidence!? Now that I think of it, other vegetarians I know are pretty happy people as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmm!.!. after your humourless, dour, bad-tempered attacks on almost everyone who answered your Hitler question I don't think you're in a position to talk about a lack of humour (you're disturbingly obsessed with Hitler - why is that!?)!.

Anyway, generalisations are the first resort of the lazy, sloppy thinker, and you have made a hell of a generalisation here!. Unless of course you've met ALL vegetarians - but as we've never met you clearly haven't!.

Do you make sweeping generalisations about any other group!? Aah - that may be where the Hitler obsession comes from!.!.!.

Edit** You might consider taking your own advice:

You have just come in contact with obviously people that have very strong beliefs I myself am a vegetarian along with many of my friends and we arent able to not take a joke!.

Depending on the person your around, dont judge all of the vegetarians or vegans, not everyones alike!.

well some people dont like people joking about there beliefs!.
i'm a vegitarian and could care less what people have to joke about sometimes i just smile and blow it off!.!.
its not just that we cant take joke its more like its rude and no one likes someone saying stuff about there choices in life!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Um, sweetie, did you know that Hitler was a vegetarian!?

I think that you are generalizing, if not outright trolling!. I could not care less: I am just glad that I have been a vegetarian since age 19, so 23 years! Yay! No dead flesh rotting in my intestines for 3 days, emitting toxins! My stomach's not a graveyard!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think all those veggies give them spastic colons!.!.!.!. ever have one!? They hurt!.!.!.!. hahaha actually, not ALL vegetarians are full of angst!.!. some of them are full of a lot of other things!.!.!.!. some good and some bad!.!.!. it all depends on their personalities!.!. NOT the food they eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

not sure, they tend to be a little protective of their beliefs!.

i allow others to joke about my beliefs, whether its politics, religion, or anything else, its all in good fun!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I read somewhere that Hitler was a vegetarian !.!.!.

Perhaps he was, perhaps he wasn't !.!.!.

Just take a look at my avatar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you met me, you would smile throughout the whole day!. I may be angst-y but no way am I someone who can't take a joke or smile!. I'm considered the comedian of my fellows!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Way to generalize!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Perhaps your jokes are not very funny!

I don't think that meat eaters do smile !.!.!.!.!. they are just picking the meat from out of their teeth!! lol

Animal Rights girl: well said ;-)
