So Lunch at a Vegans

[Olgaline]

Right so me and the Gf went to visit some old aquaintences for a picnic lunch
today, And all went fine and dandy until the discussion fell on meat ect,
and well one thing lead to another and we somehow ended on animal emotions/awareness mostly on beef "cows" pork "piggies" and KFC aka "chicken

so the discussion went something like this:

Him: You do know animals "cows" have complex and structured emotions?
Me: you mean can have ?
Him: yeah you know what the hell I mean!
Me: Ye was just pointing out...
Him: Anyway, answer the question
Me: Well Maybe? havent thought much about it tbh
Him: well they do you know?
Me: Ok? well I still dont have any moral quarrals about eating them, even if they did have feelings prior to beefification. "yes I used that word"
Him: so you dont care that you murder an animal with complex emotional capabilities just for food when you can get the same needed nutresion from other sorces ?
Me: Nope, not really no, but i do respec your right to choose not to eat meat, so why cant you respec my choice ?
Him: I have no respec for murderers!

At this point the guy flips and well basicly throws us out

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmh.

Why do the veggieburgers always think it's about nutrition.

I don't eat soymeat as opposed to a lean mean cowslice, because the cow tastes GOOD.

 

[Lamp]

Him: I have no respec for murderers!

LOL

 

[tris-]

what about all the cows who cant live because these vegans choose not to buy meat, and so lower demand?

 

[Golena]

Never try to argue using reason with a crazzzy person!

The correct answer is that the cow can only go to cow heaven if it fulfills it's life long dream of ending up as a sunday roast, in the Ribena adverty styleee.

 

[Chronictank]

You should have said you believe vegetables have a right to live too

 

[Lamp]

Agree with Golena. Trying to rationalise with a die-hard vegetarian or a born-again spread-the-word-of-the-Lord Christian is like projectile vomiting in the wind

 

[BloodOmen]

End of the day the human race has survived for a very very very very very very very very very long time eatting meat not eatting rabbit food

Like it or not.

 

[Olgaline]

heh i thought of that actually, but now the convo was more on the sence of awarenes and emotional "neuron pathway" complexity, ?

 

[Mikah75]

that guy is pretty fucked up
I've got a lot of vegan and vegetarian friends and none of them despise meat eaters, its purely a personal choice, and they dont ever frown upon people eating meat or eating meat around them, so quite an extreme case

 

[Olgaline]

Hmh.

Why do the veggieburgers always think it's about nutrition.

aye! well put!
but then again they'll never know the true joy of a tender juicy porkchop right off the grill now will they oink oink

aye,
and well it's odd but only ever discussions I've truelly had on the subject "or rather disagreements" have been with vagans, not vegitarians.
But then actually in many retrospecs you can easily draw similarities to religion or rather reliouse beliefs.

He truelly strongly feels in his beliefs, and well i respect that, my problem, as with religion is, when i fell that someone attempts to superimpose tho's beliefs on me.

 

[pikeh]

its all very well being a vegan or somesuch shit, but dont try and impose it on others. I LOVE MEAT.

 

[crispy]

Him: so you dont care that you murder an animal with complex emotional capabilities just for food when you can get the same needed nutresion from other sorces ?

In fact, this is the tastiest part of eating meat

 

[Nate]

Go around his house and murder some cows. See what he does then !

You could do it with Fluffy toy cows if you can't find live ones. It'll probably cause the same effect.

 

[Amanita]

Is he a new vegan? From my experience they start off all preachy and then grow up and develop some tolerance.

Sister is a vegan and started pulling faces at the grocery store when I bought some meat but soon stopped it when I threatened to start doing the same over her smoking.

 

[Ezteq]

lol at that point i'd have said "well i gotta be off now anyway, got an appointment for an abortion in about 40 mins so want to sneak in a big mac before hand...replace the protein im about to lose"

i may have signed off with

"you pompous twat"

 

[Meggey]

Haha Lmao *must spread some rep :/*
And well if he had been a total "stranger" then sure, but he's an old aquantance so not that simple,


Oh and no he's been a vegan for a long time now 10years+
but well, he's abit of hippy too, you know "own garden" living in a a "kolonihave" ehm hard to explain... but it's all very low tech ect they collect thier rainwater, no hot water in the pipes, ect and so on, they have a sun roof and a bio diesel generator for electricity and so on and so forth

 

[Lamp]

You should phone up one of those agencies - get him an abattoir-gram

Spoiler

 

[Chilly]

You should explain to him the wrongs of using biodiesel. On a par or worse than eating meat, for sure.

ROFL thats amazing

 

[Syri]

should've asked if he's ever swatted a fly or stamped on a bug. they have complex thought patterns too!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Have to say, the guy needs a dictionary 'cause someone claiming others as murderers because cows have "complex thought patterns" is f*cking ironic

 

[Laddey]

You should of invaded his ass with a big carrot

 

[Lamp]

I squeezed out a turd that had more complex thought patterns than that salad muncher

 

[Golena]

I squeezed out a turd that had more complex thought patterns than that salad muncher

That's not an issue tho, cos there's no way i'm going to eat that!

 

[Laddey]

Haha, how could you tell your shit was thinking?

Stinking surely, but thinking?!

 

[Lamp]

Haha, how could you tell your shit was thinking?

When I peered into the toilet bowl I saw it swim around for a bit then duck out of sight down the u-bend. Clever bastard.

Me: Dude.. i'd kill and eat you if i thought you would taste better than beef. So just considder yourself lucky...
