So what exactly do you want the police to
do? I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely don't get how you can support the idea of a police force without supporting the idea of law enforcement...

Yes, and they're certainly the best nourished people in the world, aren't they? My point is that they do not have access to a wide variety of foods, and meat is the only real source of protein for them (unlike us).

Why I won't stop eating meat
1: It tastes way too good!

I think I covered that one. If you don't have anything new to say, don't say anything.

2: The animals are dead anyway, why throw away the carcass?
|
You really haven't a clue how the meat industry works, do you? Do you think you're eating roadkill sausages or something?

3: Vegetarian people should worry about their own eating habits
|
We do. That's why we're vegetarian.

and stop being the food police to everyone.

If you want me to stop being a Militant Vegetarian, then you should stop being such a Militant Carnivore...

4 Puts too many people out of work.

Ending the Death Penalty put a lot of executioners out of work. I still say that was the time when we truly became Civilised...
The Veggie Police. We come in the middle of the night and take you while you sleep. We then not only turn you into burgers, but to add insult to injury, we serve you in Macdonalds...

6: It seems to me that all the vegetarians care about are the cute animals. For instance dolphin safe tuna. I would rather eat tuna free dolphin or a combination of the two.

I don't know about you, but I don't find cows, chickens, fish, or indeed any meat animal (with the possible exception of sheep) especially cute. I still don't eat them.

When it comes to people refraining from eating meat, I have no bones to pick with any of them. What I do Hate however, is when they try to
"enlighten" you. Back off, bub. If you think being a veghead is cool and helpful and all that happy horeshit, fine, be a veghead, be my guest. But don't go off telling me that liking to eat baby back ribs is a crime

Listen, you moron, we will stop forcing our opinions on you the moment you stop forcing your opinions on us. In what way do you think that referring to our beliefs as "happy horseshit" and calling us arrogant pricks is a neutral way to behave?
