Fjool Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 If being a vegetarian means you have a high IQ, why do rabbits always run out in front of cars ? That in itself opens up a whole new angle... Some vegans eat road-kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjool Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well why don't lions run out in front of cars then ? Don't they? I've never seen a lion in a situation where it might. I've seen cats, dogs and children run out in-front of cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogling Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Why do so many people who do eat meat / fish feel they have to defend their actions, and poke fun at people who have made informed decisions? Do they feel that they have indeed made their own informed decisions, but secretly question their own judgement? Or, do they maybe think they haven't acquired enough information to make a truly informed decision, and cannot be bothered to find out more? Or, do they just parrot someone else's opinions? Or is their IQ sufficiently low enough that they do not have the mental capacity to make informed decisions? This applies to all the life choices we make; diet, smoking, alcohol intake, religious / spiritual beliefs, politics etc... Live & let live!

Or is their IQ sufficiently low enough that they do not have the mental capacity to make informed decisions? Do these same questions not apply to vegetarians as well? People can do what they want for whatever reason, and I don't have a problem with vegetarians at all, but I do lose interest with the one's who take the moral high ground because they are a veggie or, worse still, that bizarre race of folk the Vegans (as Bill Bailey brilliantly put it: hardcore vegans - people who won't drive through towns with the word 'ham' in it )and anyone who eats a scrap of meat is some knuckle-dragging neanderthal with, funnily enough, too low an IQ to know what he is doing, so it works both ways. Talking of neanderthals, if Og dragged a Woolly Mammoth back to the cave for the family and they looked up from mending their sandals and said they would rather have vegetables, the human race wouldn't have got this far. Lets hope we never see reestit Quorn hanging up, that would be taking it too far. Yes live and let live (unless its a cow made of beef, then we'll kill it and eat it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I love the way fish are "second class" citizens to vegetarians, they can be torn to parts with gusto and consumed without any bad feeling. Squid and octupus are the same even though they have much more intelligence than a lot of mammals! Ho ho the sweet irony. Bring on the flesh!

A person who doesn't eat meat but does eat fish is a pescetarian rather than a vegetarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I hate about vegetarians is that they assume that neeps and carrots are not living things. Just because you cant hear it scream when you pull it out of the ground dose not mean that it is dead.After all we are all made up from atoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the vegetarians I have met wont eat meat because the say animals are living things, I hate birds, because they can crap on you, but they can still make a good curry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know their culinary skills will be up to scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
