Why is it if you go over to a vegetarian for dinner they won't cook you a steak or a sausage, yet if they come over to yours, you gotta go out of your way to make them some vegetarian dish.

They won't even ask if you don't mind not having meat. Certainly wouldn't offer to cook you a steak. Not even a chicken's bum on a rice cake.

Never had that but then I don't know many white veggies as they tend to be CU weirdo's

edit- nearly a rep for not making this a poll, well done!

Good point.

I know some nice people who are vegetarians but i think most of them do it because they think its cool or feel like theyre saving animals in the process.

Tbh i think the products we used in daily life which have animal based products (Think leather chairs, creams etc) in probably come from foreign animals treated much less well than the ones reared in this country, under strict guidelines for food consumption.

Been thinking about the same thing too, nice to see i'm not the only one.

ALSO, if you go to a...say...Maccie D, and ask that they don't put any bunny food in your "Super Coronary Arrest", they look at you like you just asked them to cure world hunger.

F*ck that.

Soon, if these veggie motherf*ckers will have their way, you won't be able to get milk 'cause it might hurt the cows titties :eek:

That would be vegans.

I was gonna say something rather "unfriendly" about that comment, but i'll be polite and say; "Yes, you're quite true, i never should have confused vegans and vegetarians as people. This was very impolite of me and i hope no vegetarian/vegan was offended by this outrageous generalization." :D

Hmm wonder why you held back, was just saying it's vegans, vegetarians will drink milk & eat cheese etc.

'cause that silent, agreeing, "it's my fault", sarcastic approach is so much more fun :D

Yeah i know, vegans, veggies, difference.

veggies and vegans always look massively underweight to me. my economics lecturer was like a walking skeleton ffs.
i have nothing against them though but if some veggy bitch comes to my house shes eating my meat, end of story.

a vegetarian lady I knew, got sent to the hospital as she didn't get the vetamins she needed, and therefore became sick for a few weeks in a row. I kinda had the "hehhehuhuhuhihi" feeling inside of me :/

is this wrong of me?

To answer the original question.

I guess some vegetarians simply don't want to be part of the process of killing and eating animals, so that's why they can't cook animal food even for others.

As for the rest, yes, they are damn selfish. :)

me and a couple of mates did the cooking at the village BBQ a few years back, whenever the veggies came along with their special diet requirements for us to cook we just did it with the rest. they got plenty of the meat in with their reformed turd.

Care to expand then?

not much other than to say that i firmly believe that causing suffering and ultimately death to an animal when it is not necessary (in any way what-so-ever) to lead a healthy and fulfilled life is far more 'selfish' than expecting meat-eaters to cater for my eating habits :)

no its wrong of her. i have no relalistic idea of how that could happen as a vegetarian, and in these days its very unlikely that people need vitamin besides from what they get in their food - she must've been eating crap

the difference is lamp, that its not hurting you to eat veggies but it is hurting the vegetarian to eat meat... and assuming you invited them for dinner i suppose its rude of you not to do the hazzle of cooking veggies (can be turned that they invite you, they should cook meat but then i will refer to the first point - the not hurting/hurting part)

so it would be ok to eat animals hunted in the nature, killed quickly that have lived to their fullest?

the only reason i would accept as valid would be: "i dont like to eat meat" rest is (almost) bullshit

The fact is by design we are omnivorous, if people want to be vegetarian thats fine but there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat and people who do choose not to should stop going on at those who do. (yes i know nobody here is etc)
