I don't kill buffalos, waste resources more than the common man, or pollute to excess. What I'm sick of is people telling me that I am a murderer b/c their views differ from mine. I can't even eat vegetable b/c of my irritable bowel syndrome, but that doesn't stop people who know absolutely nothing about me make judgements about my character.
Vegetarians: If you don't eat meat, I don't give a fuck. Just leave me the hell alone and stop pushing your lifestyle on others. Some of you are no better than Christians pushing heterosexuality or their other morals.

Ahh.. I loves me a good debate  That's cool man I see where you are coming from. I'm actually playing devil's advocate here a little bit.. because its fun.  I'm not even completely a vegetarian, but I am aware of the environmental impact the agriculture industry has on the Earth. There's not any one person to blame, it's all our damn faults. I certainly wouldn't call someone a murderer just because they eat meat. That would make me one too.. if you stab someone in the face and they die, you are a murderer. If you eat hamburgers, you eat meat.
I think in general, vegetarians will leave meat eaters alone when meat-eaters leave vegetarians alone. I think for the most part, it is meat-eaters that are doing the aggresive agenda-pushing (i.e - for every animal you don't eat I will eat three.. what kind of shit is that>?).. I get meat pushed on me more than anything. Shit find me someone who will try and peer-pressure me into eating fruit all the time, I'll be their friend. You guys can be real assholes to vegetarians some of the time. I'm not talkin about you, just meat-eaters in general. Me, I'm kind of the middle man. I wont tell you not to eat meat, but I will tell you what's healthy about fruits and veggies.
How did you get IBS if you don't mind me asking? Born with it?

I've said it before but I'll say it again. I have no problem with vegetarians that choose such a diet because it appeals to them. But as soon as they (and many I know do) get an attitude in which they feel they are choosing the "higher road" or being more moral (whatever that means) they can fuck the right off. I eat meat and I love it. If someone looks down on my meat eating I'll make it a point to fuck with them just to piss them off since their idiotic notion of superiority is based on their own foolish notion of what is supposedly right. I don't feel superior for eating meat nor do I feel inferior since it's only a personal preference and that's it.

I think IBS is something like cancer by that you are born with the capacity for if to show itself, but the right factors need to be there to make it come out.
My factor was extreme stress over my parent's terribly messy divorce.
Thank god you don't have IBS. It has turned my social life upside down and has effectively made my life hell.

Yeah, I've tried rx drugs which somwhat helps. It's hard with the diet, though, since I have little money or time b/c of my erratic schedule, plus the fact that the most random things (anxiety or food) will set it off.

I haven't researched IBS but you should look into maybe trying Slippery Elm as an herbal supplement.. it has wonderful healing and nourishing properties for the intestinal tract.

The problem with irritable bowel is that there is actually nothing wrong with the intestines. The problem is the nerves somewhere between the brain and the intestines. Somwhere between there, my nerves are mixed up.
Also, you can not cure IBS, you can only treat the symptoms.
That's how my gastroenterologist explained it to me.

Well damnit there's got to be something.. they just haven't found a cure for it yet.
Umm.. check this out - http://www.herbs.org/current/chinibs.html http://ibscrohns.about.com/cs/altmedibs/a/herbsibs.htm
Just trying to help..there's things can make it more bearable. I have been helped greatly by herbs so I am a large proponent of them.

You do realize that free range only means there has to be an opening somewhere on the building, right? Do some research, "free range" is just a term used to let people eat meat and not feel so bad about it.

looner2 said: that is totally absurd...what an idiot.
sure, animals are killed while harvesting wheat and vegatables.

or eating meat and killing and animals AND eating wheat and killing animals.
vegetarians don't eat meat, meat eaters eat meat AND wheat
simple logic
Your logic isn't registering, partly because you didn't make a point. If killing animals is viewed as wrong, what matters the mechanism in which they are killed?
vegetarians = animals killed meat eaters= animals killed
"simple logic" tells me they both kill animals, the very reason that vegetarianism is built on to be against.
re-read my post...
here it is again
that is totally absurd...what an idiot.
sure, animals are killed while harvesting wheat and vegatables.
but if you consider killing animals a bad thing, then what is worse? eating wheat and killing animals...
or eating meat and killing and animals AND eating wheat and killing animals.
vegetarians don't eat meat, meat eaters eat meat AND wheat
simple logic
there you go...i'll even just put the point here
but if you consider killing animals a bad thing, then what is worse? eating wheat and killing animals...
or eating meat and killing and animals AND eating wheat and killing animals.
Get it? I'll even reword it...
Support one method of killing animals, or two?
