PETA vs Mario

Interesting. All the years as a vegetarian I never "preached" at anyone about what they eat. I couldn't care less. I don't know any vegans and vegetarians that do preach at anyone. I have had issues with psycho meat eaters who get their panties all up in a knot about vegetarianism, though.

My favourite:
Meat eater: "Why don't you eat meat?"
Me: "Why don't you shoot up heroin?"
Meat eater: "I don't want that crap in my body."
Me: "Well then...?
Meat eater: (look of realization crosses their face)

I know a few that are very passive aggressive about it. The whole holier than thou attitude. Not everyone is like that, but there's plenty out there!

Uhmm...maybe they get their panties in a knot because you answer them like a d-bag?

Making a comparison that someone could actually understand is being a "d-bag"? Dude, you wouldn't believe how many people cannot understand why some people choose to not eat meat. Put it in those terms and they suddenly get it, though.

But I understand you're just in a trollin' mood.

What the hell? I've encountered plenty of vegeterians, and even a vegan or two, and whenever I ask "why don't you eat meat?", I usually get an actual...you know...answer; as opposed to some pretentious BS.

I get it. You're a vegetarian. That's not normal. I don't care. No need to answer my question with a pretentious, potentially offensive question, though.

I can see you escalating to that level of response if the person you're discussing this with is belligerent...but opening with that? LOL. That's d-bag country.

You can't tell her tone on the internet.

But maybe people get tired of being asked why they eat what they eat. It's a somewhat *rude* (for lack of a better word) question. It's none of your business so why does one ask?
 
Obviously the issue here is ignorace and people not respecting peoples choices. You shouldn't have to explain why you do or do not eat meat. Just like people should not have to defend whether or not they believe in God or not.

Then they should just say what I say, when people ask why I don't want a beer: "Court order."

Curiosity. I get that sometimes you get asked a question 5 million times, but to me, that's the first time I've asked you that question. I don't get uppity everytime someone asks me why I spend so much time in the gym or why I ride a motorcycle downtown. Sometimes people just wanna know.

Actually, I'm NOT vegetarian. I was.

And as I just explained to you, there are plenty of people I've encountered who don't get it. As in, they wouldn't take the straight forward answer given to them. They'd much rather fight a vegetarian tooth and nail with arguments about protein, what's 'normal' etc., than just let you decide what you do and don't eat. I never told people I was vegetarian. They'd figure it out on their own. I even had one psycho woman who took serious offence to vegetarianism tell me that if we got into a plane crash together and ended up stranded she would have no problem eating my body. Ummm... crazy?!

But thanks for calling me a d-bag.

And like I said...I'd understand if you escalated to that type of response, but to open up with that is pure d-bag goodness.

Did you open up with that type of response? Cuz your example sure as hell made it seem that way.

Response #43 in this thread. But yup, carry on justifying your calling me a d-bag. *sigh*

Depends on the tone of the question.

If your meat eating associate asks the question in some sort of accusatory tone, then there's no need to be civil with your response.
If your meat eating associate asks the question with no hostility, then I personally don't think your response would have been warranted.

The girl I'm currently dating is a vegetarian (half assed vegan), and had she responded as you did when I asked her that same question I doubt I would have pursued that relationship at all... Some people are just curious. It would take less effort to just shrug your shoulders and say "personal reasons" than it does to ask a suspiciously antagonistic question. I don't think you're going to get through to many people by equating meat to heroin.

I'm guessing that Stormcat's response is only for people who ask in an accusatory tone. In which case, all bets are off.
