[QUOTE=Lucas;874681]for once it actually is safe for work…im still in shock[/QUOTE]
Hey, I do nice stuff too, like this:
If I could afford to do so I’d restrict my meat consumption to fresh fish… unfortunately that’s expensive and beef is (comparatively) cheap.
[QUOTE=GeneChing;874686]I’m pescatarian, which just made it into the dictionary (thank you very much!) Actually that doesn’t describe my diet perfectly. My Shaolin master, Shi Decheng, told me that I shouldn’t eat anything that screams when you kill it. So I eat fish (if they scream, I can’t hear it), reptiles and amphibians (although I’m not that fond of them, especially not turtles and frogs) and bugs (but it’s hard to find well prepared bugs in America).
I restrict my diet mostly for the discipline of it. It’s part of being Buddhist. Also, Pamela Anderson told me too. It actually makes my life easier. In America, we’re inundated with so many choices. Part of freedom is not to exercise those freedoms. There are huge sections of restaurant menus that I don’t have to deal with - it saves me a lot of time.
What I’ve never understood is why carnivores get so defensive about vegetarians. Meat is a finite resource, especially in third world countries. If others chose not to eat meat, doesn’t that leave more meat for the carnivores? True carnivores should encourage others to go veg, so all the choice cuts go to them. That’s what I used to do when I was carnivorous.[/QUOTE]
Right on! Being a steaketarian (with some sporadic sushi and pork chops on board) I respect vegetarians keeping their hands off my ribeyes!
Choke chickens, don’t eat 'em!

vegiterians are fine, the only time they bother me is when they have the holier than thou attitude.
which is quite often. some just cannot give up the idea that they are better than other people just because they dont eat meat.
everyone has vices, and whether eating meat can be considered one, being ridiculed or demeaned for eating it is unnecessary.
its the same thing when some christians would look at others of differing religions, say buddhism or judaism, and truly believe they are going to a place full of fire, brimstone, pain suffering and be tortured for ever, simply because they dont give baby jesus handjobs every day.
I’m an omnivore… it’s how we were built.
When I choke a chicken, it screams like Bruce Lee on helium
We are holier than thou simply because our poop doesn’t stink as much. Seriously. Go sniff some dog poop then sniff some cow poop. Meat poop stinks more. People made houses out of cow poop. They burned it for fuel. But you’d never do that with dog poop.
holier = less stinky poop.
Bullpoop
Dog poop stinks as a result of the terrible additives used in your typical dog food (wet or dry). Give a dog a quality RAW food diet and their poop will be significant less stinky. Aside from the health benefits to your dog, it’ll make picking their poop up (a responsibility of any decent dog owner) that much less of an ordeal.
carry on,
I have this good vegan friend who has the raunchiest f@rts ive ever smelled.
poop happens
Now, there’s significant difference between ****s and poop. For instance, it’s funny to **** in an elevator. Pooping there is an act of war.
And as for dog poop due to additives, that doesn’t invalidate the point that no one makes houses from dog poop or uses it for fuel. In the third world, especially India and Africa, cow poop is a major resource for it’s homebuilding and fire fueling usefulness.
Which begs the question: Do you support unnecessary poop for personal gain/entertainment? Isn’t that what this forum is all about? Noooo. It’s all about making rent.
There was this guy who i swear had a suit made out of dog poop…he hangs out downtown.
****ing in an elevator is at least an invitation for a skirmish isnt it?
ali-oop
So what happens if your dog ****'s in an elevator?
what if it’s a guide-dog?
wouldn’t smell be the only indicator?
As has been stated, we are designed as omnivores. It would be unnatural for use, health concerns considered, to have a diet which varies from our nature.
That, and meat tastes like murder and murder tastes good.

I dunno man, our dog gets the best home made food we can fix up for him and his **** still stinks.
I put rubber bands in my dog’s food. This way, when they come out, they have little handles on them and it’s easier to pick up, or hurl at someone.
I like vegetarians-if they’re marinated and grilled just right.
[QUOTE=golden arhat;874546]ok let me rephrase
does anyone support unnecessary cruelty for their own gain/ entertainment against parties who are forced into doing it,
namely animals.[/QUOTE]
if by gain you mean I eat them.. YES. 100%
no.
but fighting as a sport isn’t unnecessary anymore than going to work at general motors is.
At one, you are doing your best to get through a beating and give one too.
At the other, You have to wear a mouthguard and a cup!

You sir, are a revolutionary !!
[QUOTE=Old Noob;874586]Protein is an essential part of human diets and, while I am aware of the protein intake methodologies of vegetarians, the make up of our teeth and the position of our eyes in our heads clearly demonstrate that we are, by nature, omnivors. Thus, I view eating meat as a necessity and in tune with my nature. Your choice to take your protein by other means, while inconsistent with our physiological deveopment as a species, is fine. You just shouldn’t judge others for not following along.
BTW, did you answer my question on the other thread re: carnivorous animals? Are they vile oppressors too?[/QUOTE]
it is totally in tune with nature to consume protein by easier means than breeding animals in large numbers and killing them for it
i’m sure at one point it was necessary to eat meat
no longer
notice that our digestive tract is huge unlike that of a lion or a bear which is very short so that the meat doesnt rot in its gut.
On the flip side of that our digestive tract is not as extensive or complex as that of a cow, which was designed to process just plant matter.

You know what is funny about all that meat rotting in you for years and years?
How it all magically goes away when you take an enema to do a intestinal tract ultrasound !
I have a cousin how is an ultrasound and x-ray technician and the stories she has !
LOL !
