Praeserpium Machinarum:
in that case, he was looking in the wrooong place, I mean there isn't anything *real* in there...I am being so unwitty...
Inlander:
Yeah - not so much love under there, as a whole lot of irrational fear and hatred . . .

They're not allowed to do ingest anything particularly fun or play doctors and nurses.
They have to do something!
Warning! Drastic overgeneralisation ALERT.

No, I'm pretty sure that's right. You can get vegetarian cheese though, rennet isn't essential since there's some kind of synthesised substitute.
Khar, some vegans do argue that milking cows is akin to rape. Personally I disagree, it's the treatment of the animals and their needless slaughter I dislike so I stick to the soy. And on the subject of veganism, one of my reasons is that it generally leaves a smaller 'ecological footprint' and since I'm rather fond of wilderness and bio-diversity it seems like a good idea to me.
Schmung:
Lifes far too short to not enjoy meat, dairy products, booze and so forth. Sod leaving a better world for your grandchildren, theres far too much money to be made by raping hte world, so why fight it. Truly, apathy is a wonderful thing, well, more like realism really but it amounts to basically the same thing.
I've never understood the whole straight edge thing, seems like denying yourself pleasure for the visceral thrill of feeling superior to other people who are, you know, so much less aware of the worlds plight and the dangers of alcohol, drugs and sex than you are. Feck off, I'm perfectly aware thank you very bloody much, which is part of the reason I indulge.
Like anything really, keep it to yourself and don't bother me with it and I'm ok with it, but the moment someone start to try forcing their lifestyle and/or beliefs on me I start to get very, very twitchy indeed and hippy ass
vegan killjoys seem to be among the worst people for doing that. Right up there with fundamentalist religous nuts. And those people who raise their children to be vegans and then freak out when their kids eat a burger at school. Ignoring the probably dicey quality of the burger for a moment, if your childs chosen to eat it then fuck off and leave them alone, it's not like they've decided to become a neo-nazi or something. Parents have actually sued schools for that, it's absurd.
ahem, I'm done.
