grr i hate when people do this to me!!

oh sry bout that i didnt see the little "irongoth" thing told u i was tired!

 

So the delicious quesadillas were wasted? I would have ate them, I'm poor and not picky.

 

It's funny, we get the same old shit in here all the time. Meat-eaters complaining about veggies forcing their opinions on them. Yet here we are, quietly enjoying our little corner of the net, keeping ourselves to ourselves, and it's the meat-eaters who seem to feel the need to come here and harass us constantly, and then they accuse us of forcing our opinions on them! Gotta love irony.

 

how did I harrass and stuff..what was wrong with what I said, nothing was...and i wouldnt call that irony at all..

 

I guess I seem to feel a lot differently than most vegans/veggies on here. Sure, I'm just as disgusted by meat as the next veg is, but I firmly believe that it's something you have to learn to accept and get used to; just because I believe meat is gross, and what not... doesn't mean the whole world feels that way. It's everywhere, and to try to avoid it is almost impossible, so I think it's better to just get used to it, and learn to accept the way the world is, and other people.

I have an idea of what mystical shroom is referring to, and honestly [and no offense intended] I agree with her. What I believe she's referring to... WAS someone who seemed to me, were shoving their beliefs on others, in their own way.

I can see someone plainly walking out of the room if they don't want to be around it, or to decline living with someone for that reason... but to ask someone to keep meat away from them, or out of the house, is a bit pushy imho.

I would never even think to ask my dad or my boyfriend to stop eating meat around me, or stop keeping it in the house... that's their decision, and if I feel I really can't handle being around it, I'll go outside while they're eating or something. It's not anyone's place to reject and disclude someone because of what they eat, no matter how disgusting you find it.

My boyfriend finds tofu just as equally disgusting as I find his burgers, but he treats me with the same respect and doesn't make a fuss of me cooking it around him. [he occassionally complains about the smell of my food, but I don't let it get to me]

 

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
That was the point i was trying to make but didnt do a good job of it
You are exactly right with everything you said..I am just glad someone got out the point I was trying to make...(too bad I fail miserably at trying to make points )

 

It all depends how disgusting you really find it. For example, if we were talking about paedophilia, would you say it was better to just "get used to it" if all the people around you were practicing it? Or maybe a better comparison.... if you were living in 13th Century Europe, you'd (presumably) accept that it was the norm for 12yr old girls to be considered ready for child bearing. It would be a cultural norm, and it would be foolish to go around telling every peasant you met that they were all paedophiles. But if you could avoid it, you wouldn't want to live in a house where people were fucking children. You might not judge them for it, because they were simply conforming to a cultural norm, but you wouldn't want to be around it if at all possible.

If you're talking in the context of a meat-eater with whom you already share a house, then I agree. You have no right to impose your views upon them. But myself and my partner are veggie, and no meat crossed my threshold. Period. It's my house and people are expected to respect my feelings inside my house. If they want to cook meat in their own house, that's their business.

 

I wasn't specifically talking about you. I was generalising. Although now you bring it up, you did say:

And if that's not an insulting generalisation, I don't know what is. And yes, it's very ironic for you to accuse people of harassing you when I for one rarely even mention being veggie outside this forum, and yet you've chosen to come here, to a veggie forum, and attack us for forcing our views down your throat. Irony.

thanks for the definition though, I wouldnt know what I would have done if you didnt post it..
and you are wrong with your post sir, I did not attack anyone, sorry if you feel that way.. I guess people disagreeing with you, you feel you are being attack..
dont care, wont post here anymore since I attack people..

 

You accused people of shoving their opinions down the throats of others. You called the threads in here laughable. If you don't consider that an attack, you could really do with taking a course in diplomacy.

 

hahah yes its really strange how that works, we are peacefull vegetarians, saving the animals, and we like it that way, hehehe we kick ass

 

well actually im sorry....i went in and added that after i read your next post cuz i didnt want you to think that i was attcking you and calling you an idiot

 

haha thats ok, i thougth it was awful rude, and i mean, someone would have to be really tactless(is that a word) to post that and ive seen ur other posts and u didnt seem like ud say that to me, ahah its all good
