    Add some horns and you are a cow. :-)

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

      Step 1: Don't let the whole world know you're a "real man"(?) because you eat meat and somehow that's supposed to make you really awesome and manly. Step 2: Eat whatever the hell you like and don't bother other people with it. This "I eat meat" stuff was pretty funny at first, but it's getting really old. Like you never eat a salad or really could not eat anything other than meat. I've been a vegetarian for almost 2/3rds of my life, but you don't see me posting about salads and being a rabbit X| To the people that hate on vegetarians because "they always tell you they're vegetarian": it's because if we don't tell you you'll give us meat and we don't eat that so things will get really awkward... And we won't have food. Sorry man, nothing personal. You just posted the wrong thing at the wrong time (the time I read such a post for the 1000th time) :laugh:

      Real man? Who knows. To be a real cat, just eat mice and an occasional bird. Bonus points for getting fed by an 'owner'. :-)

            Is that how you view to become a cool guy, awesome and manly? :laugh: Real man doesn't react like that. :laugh: My apology if it bothers you and sorry if it this joke is old for you. FYI, this post has nothing to do if you were a vegetarian or not. Does not mean i prefer meat I don't eat veggies at all. I eat any kinds of veggies alot. -peace out!

            According to Darwin, yes. Remember, it is the most adaptable one that survives and multiplies. It's simple math, how much resources does a cow or pig take versus some beans? Considering we are heading well into the sixth mass-extinction, the beans and rice combination may be a good idea. And you'd have to admit that it takes some discipline to say "no" to bacon. I know I can't.

                        Well, yes, that's evolution. If you were created to eat plant-material you would have had as many stomachs as a cow. Would also mean that your brain would need to be somewhat smaller.

                            I wish I were a real cat! Eating and sleeping all day, having an owner a slave to pet you and basically do everything you want. Most importantly, a cat is just happy with all that! Yeah, cats have it made :sigh:

                                  Because tofu is treated as meat replacement in todays age. From my point of view, it isn't. It's not a replacement for anything. It's just gross.

                                    Step 1: Don't let the whole world know you're a "real man"(?) because you eat meat and somehow that's supposed to make you really awesome and manly. Step 2: Eat whatever the hell you like and don't bother other people with it. This "I eat meat" stuff was pretty funny at first, but it's getting really old. Like you never eat a salad or really could not eat anything other than meat. I've been a vegetarian for almost 2/3rds of my life, but you don't see me posting about salads and being a rabbit X| To the people that hate on vegetarians because "they always tell you they're vegetarian": it's because if we don't tell you you'll give us meat and we don't eat that so things will get really awkward... And we won't have food. Sorry man, nothing personal. You just posted the wrong thing at the wrong time (the time I read such a post for the 1000th time) :laugh:

                                    With all respect to you Sander, whose fault is that?

People are welcome to do what they like in their own home, I don't care, but they shouldn't force it on the rest of us... This is nothing personal Sander, just a rant against a general attitude! Sorry [ADDENDA] If I get served something I don't like, I'll just eat as little of it as possible and eat more of what I DO like. I never, ever expect people to make special food for me - I would rather go hungry than put people out [/ADDENDA]

                                      I'm not telling you what you should or should not eat, but if you invite me to your home to have dinner I'm going to tell you I'm a vegetarian. A good host would take my diet into account and would probably even ask if there's anything I don't eat (I also don't like corn and peas). If you still serve me meat you're not a good host, we'll have an awkward dinner and I'll happily reject your invitation next time. Likewise, if I invite you to my home for dinner I'll ask if it's okay if I cook something vegetarian (and most meat eaters are fine with it, none of my friends eats meat every day anyway), but some people really enjoy their meat (my dad and grandpa, for example). If you want your meat I'll get you your meat. It's not really an attitude, just taking each other's wishes into account.

                                        So I should cook special food for you if you visit me, but if I visit you, I should eat what you serve? Seriously, can't you hear the double standards there? It's nice of you that you want to cook meat for your dad and grandpa, but to be honest, it's the first time EVER I've heard such a statement from a vegetarian And I don't agree - it IS an attitude, and it comes from children being spoiled rotten these days... The attitude that other people should adapt to ME, but I don't have to adapt to other people. And it's a real rotten attitiude, because it leaves us with a world where people have no consideration for each other, the straight opposite of what you claim... An example: Young people don't stand up for older people on the subway any more, because THEY have a right to sit down as well. Sure, but somebody may need the seat more... The "I have my rights" attitude effectively eliminates all consideration to other people

                                          How did you get that from my words? :confused: Let me tell you about double standards, if I come to your house I should eat meat because that's what you serve, but if you come to my house you expect meat too because that's what people are supposed to eat. So how is that any different? So I was saying we should all respect each other's wishes, meat, vegetarian, no peas, gluten-free, what have you, and a good host would do so.
