After reading some of the posts by the vegetarians/ vegans on this board, I’m beginning to suspect thast they are actually moles from the American beef council. _Remember, kids, lack of beef in your diet will cause anemia, developmental disability, and an inability to capitalize, so finish all your steak. You don’t want to end up like **dragonfly** , do you?_ ---

What’s this? I didn’t get an unprovoked calling of “fuckwit” by dragonfly? After what I said? I’m insulted. ---

- DF98 is not only stupid (which I contend is not a matter, to a large extent, of any beholder’s eye), but unwilling to listen to other points of view, which, in my mind, makes his point of view seem at best ignorant. - Scylla, the business about nature being destroyed for crop space is garbage. [http://www.api4animals.org/doc.asp?ID=316](http://www.api4animals.org/doc.asp?ID=316) cite. The impact made for the sake of cattle farming is much worse. - Dragonfly, if you really want to reduce your impact on your environment, you should shut the hell up (considering this board as part of your environment). Then you can convert to a diet of discarded food, of which there is certainly no shortage anywhere in the States, in which case your immediate agricultural impact will become nil. That’s all for now 🙂 ---

_yawn_ i’m glad that most of you here apparently think and/or believe that i’m undeniably stupid and somehow that can be reliably measured! 😃 A remarkably coherent, if impotent observation. Besides…i’ve already admitted to being underedumacated on an other thread, and in the eyes of Whack-o-hole and autz anyway. Other than that i have little more than i can offer you. And to all those here who are pretended veggies and somehow find it necessary to “straighten me out” on my thoughtful and sincere viewpoints: \*\* Read My Disclaimer.\*\* That should clear up any misconceptions that you my hold against me. ---

**dragonfly98** I ask you this as a fellow vegan: please cut it out. Vegans like you are the reason the rest of us sane, unassuming vegans catch so much shit from people. Overzealous whack jobs such as yourself are the examples that stick in people’s minds. You are doing _nothing_ to further your cause. You are only hampering it. I wish you could see that.

Howyadoin, I find it odd that **DF98** refers to itself as a “veggie”. Now where I come from, that term means “vegetable”, not “vegetarian” or “vegan”. …oh, I get it now… 😛 -Rav ---

Dragonfly, being a vegetarian does not give you license to be a bastard, and it doesn’t magically make you a better person than everyone else. You do know that Hitler dabbled in vegetarianism, don’t you? I’ve also heard that the jolly old fuhrer loved children, and was quite the dancer. And please, don’t rake me over the coals for comparing Nazis with vegetarians, because I’m not. I’m just a vegetarian who’s sick of self-righteous vegetarians like you. ---

Before it looks like I’m standing up for this human toiletpaper, let me say that I’m not. I just had to clarify something about the domain thing. I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years and it’s a pretty large part of who I am. Assnuggets like this dragonfly guy make it just that much harder for me to get by in the world. People hear “vegetarian” and they think of folks like this. _sigh_ ---

I just quickly wanted to point out a parallel I think explains everything. Have you ever talked to someone who does meth regularly or DID do meth for a long time? They’re kinda twitchy and loud and don’t tend to make a whole lotta sense? There’s a link to a meth page from the page he linked here…it’s for people who are trying to clean up, and I read some of it, and sheeyit, there’s a lot of people who sound like this. I hate to see you all wasting your energy and brains on this ass. He isn’t worth it. I picture Brad Pitt’s character in 12 Monkeys…there ya go. ---

Mentioning the domain, too, was a paranthetical aside. It’s not as big of a deal as the pricey food, but it still doesn’t make much sense to lay in the gutter throwing what little money you have at comparatively rich people, when you could be using that money to get out a bad situation. ---
