toldailytopic: Should vegetarians have equal rights?

I am irritated by merely hearing the word "Vegan"!

I am not sure I understand the question. Are people being denied employment/education/opportunities because they are vegetarian?

 

[chrysostom]

no they shouldn't
and
they can eat whatever they bring

not a problem

 

[Lovejoy]

Gads no! We should make a point of exhibiting bias against them. Who do they think they are, anyway?!?

 

[some other dude]

Vegetarians should be hunted, cooked and eaten.


You know, like we do with rabbits, deer, cows...

 

[chrysostom]

the same goes for Catholics on Friday during Lent

we don't deserve special treatment
but
we usually get it

 

[some other dude]

Catholics should be hunted, cooked and eaten during Lent?

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Vegetarians should be hunted, cooked and eaten.

Finally some common sense!!

 

[some other dude]

Catholics too! :banana:

What a silly question. Of course vegetarians should have equal rights! They have just as much right to order a nice juicy steak, lamb chops, grilled pork loin, and bison burger that I do.

How can you "meat" a vegetarian?:think:

Wait, my bad.

:idunno:

I know a couple, and they seem well-adjusted, but then again, they all seem to fall off the wagon on a regular basis. The one guy I did know who tried to go vegan lasted a year. And it was the worst year of his life.

How to meat a vegetarian census worker

Now my mouth is watering!

The only happy vegetarians/vegans I've ever known were professional fighters who kept themselves in shape using the veg./veeg diet.

Other than that, it's all been bleeding-hearts, except for one.

I went to high school with a girl who had been psychologically abused by her stepfather as a young child.
Part of that abuse involved detailed descriptions of animal slaughter grisly enough to make PETA shoot someone, every time the family ate meat in any form.

Imagine a grown man describing a calf fetus being torn from its still-conscious mother...to a toddler at the dinner table over cheeseburgers.

Yeah. So for her, I totally understand.

Any of the "well I can't eat anything that has a face" BS is a totally different story.

...that said, seriously: What the heck do you mean by "equal rights"?

 

[lucybelle]

What do you call a militant vegan?

Lactose intolerant.

 

[Squishes]

I'm vegetarian and I don't feel that bitter. I'm not very pushy about it, and it is more of a health decision than anything else. Besides, I just really love fruits and veggies.

Vegetarian parenting is hard, I hear. But advice is plentiful. Parents should eliminate meat from children's diets gradually. For example, cannibal parents can start by only serving their children vegetarians.
