Okay, I know I'm 34, but I still have a bit of kid in me (come on I play a freaking wrestling dice game!). But anyways, I don't know how many vegans or vegetarians are out there, but one thing that bugs me is those groups that dress in crap and go to burger joints or KFC, etc. I've always wanted to dress as a big piece of celery and stand outside an organic store or whatever and yell at people going in "YOU'RE EATING MY FREAKING BROTHER!!!". Me and my friend have wanted to do this for years just for the kicks and seeing peoples expressions. We'd like to film it for the fun of it. Of course, my wife will object. But does anyone think that's insane?!?! I mean, it's just a joke....I thought it would be funny. Forgive me as well, I'm getting used to a new baby, getting back to work...so I may be delusional as well!!  |

I cannot stand vegiterians who try to impose their view on people, if u wanna abstain from meat eating thats fine but your not gonna recruit any1 who steps into a kfc, mcd's etc. I mean give us some credit for helping the environment, we are eating the cow or chicken or pig or fish.etc...

One of the reasons I even noticed this was because I saw what a nut James Cromwell is. I was looking at the cast of Spidey 3 and saw he was in it. That dude is a F-ing loon...read about what he did.
LOL..steelthunder, Manos, hands of fate!

Ranting time...
I don't have any problems with vegeterians or vegans--I've dated both, and have yet to personally encounter any who were horrified at the fact that I enjoy a side of meat or five and who attempted to "save" me. It probably is a healthier lifestyle overall when done right, but I remain one of those "we were born with canines for a reason" types. In any event, animal-rights groups have done a lot of good in helping to expose some of the crap that goes on in processing plants and at fast-food places--legitimate concerns that need to be addressed.
The people who do this stuff, however, are usually doing it on behalf of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals--which is a group that fully advocates terrorist activity such as bombing animal-testing labs ("tactics," as they call the practice), which objects to any scientific advancement that's done with the aid of animals, which is opposed to the concept of pets and would wish for nothing more than to wipe out all domesticated animals, and which engineers tasteful, subtle ad campaigns like comparing chicken farms run by KFC to concentration camps run by Nazis.
I'm not at all a fan of zealotry in any form, and that's what PETA essentially is--a radical religion devoted to animal worship.
So (and this is assuming these guys actually *are* working for PETA) this isn't just some innocent protest going on. Trav, you are more than free to engage these protesters in any hostile-but-nonviolent way that you desire. I've always been a fan of holding a casual but disagreeable conversation about what PETA stands for, all the while wolfing down a big bucket of fried chicken or a burger. Let me know how it goes.
(And if you go to an organic store...there's plenty of kookery out there "proving" that plants have feelings. If you want to go all out, bone up on some of it--just don't accidentally convert yourself to the cause.)

Well, I think most of them just buck up and accept the fact that they're godless killing machines who kill and eat plant-babies in cold blood, and consume them anyway. Some of your more extreme fruitarians will only eat what would fall naturally from a plant--culinary fruits, nuts, and seeds. (Yeah, I know way too much about this topic--this is what comes with living in a city with a diverse college-student population of about 100,000.) |

Burger is murder! Anyway, you look at it, you are advocating the slaughter of innocent bovine, poor magnificent creature that it is. And I ask you for why? To make that Big Mac? Those two all beef patties, special sauce,lettuce,cheese? Oh, if only you and your warmongering frineds could see the look of horror in the eyes of the cow when the farmer tells it that it's going to served (billions and billions already have been) after being ground up into tiny weeny pieces. I bet that would change your bloodthirsty mind.
Nah, i'm just kidding. Now the way that Burger King treats the BK Big Fish, now thats something to protest. You have to ask for the cheese!

Speaking of "asking for cheese". I hate cheese on my burgers...don't ask why, but I hate it! But Wendy's, for some reason, feels the need to even when I ask twice.
Here is how I order a burger, "Can I have NO cheese on that, and ONLY ketchup, mustard and pickles ONLY...and NO cheese on it PLEASE." Everytime I order that way.
Time after time, I'd always have cheese on it and I'd have to go back inside. One day, I was just in a foul mood and had to go inside to get my order right. When I got it, I wanted to check before I left. I was at the door and it not only had cheese, but mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and everything else.
Needless to say, I took it and threw it right in the guys face. I mean I literally threw it in his face.
After about a year, I went back to the Wendy's on a late night. Ordered the same way...got to the window and some idiot girl was busy discussing her hoochie love life. I asked her about no cheese, she just said, and didn't even look at me, said, "Ok"
I wouldn't look until I got home. Yep, cheese. I'm not a big cusser, but man, I called up there and dropped about 100 F Bombs on the manager.
So dressing up like celery, throwing burgers in a Wendy's workers face....I guess I'm a tad nuts!

You don't like cheese? Only tree-hugging hippie liberal commie pinkos and minorities don't like cheese!

My father in law doesn't like cheese. For that fact, and that fact alone, I don't trust him.

Worse than not liking cheese is not liking peanut butter. As long as you're not allergic to peanuts (which my older son is), you should be consuming this on a daily basis.
And I eat meat.
And I do have vegetarian friends who are cool about not imposing their views. We went out to eat with them last night and they don't make funny faces when we order burgers or chicken pasta dishes. So they exist. Maybe in small numbers, but they exist.

Yeah they do. I have a cousin who is strictly Veggie, but he does it for health purposes...so he's not morally against eating meat.
He had a girlfriend who was, and she was a real pill to invite over for a bbq.
