I hate rants, trust me I do. This is the first rant I have ever done. I never
thought I would but someone REALLY made me mad and I need a release!
Okay, heres the story...
There was a thread (on a spiritual forum) and the thread was titled:
"How is being a vegetarian different from eating the meat of an animal?"
I got in a debate with some meat eaters. One was saying " A plant is a life too, and the whole " it deosnt feel pain so its ok to eat it" is a very ignorant way to think of life"
I tried to explain how harmful meat eating is to plants too and I even provided
proof of what I'm saying with 4 different sources , but no. He won't listen.
And another one said
"We do not need claws, because our main weapon is intelligence. We can use that to make tools and hunt. And we are deadly good at that. You should look at some documentaries about native hunters and come back saying we don't have the instincts.
I'm not going through that whole list as it's based on the assumption that there exist only herbivores and carnivores. How ridiculous!
Our eyes, teeth, and hunting skill and mind is all the proof that is needed.
Please skip no more biology lessons!"
And that last part of his comment was basically a nicer way of saying I'm unintelligent.
I showed logic, reason, multiple sources of what I'm saying etc. But they didn't
use reason and just used the same dull,weak argument over and over and over....
It was so aggravating! Then one of them started a thread
talking about vegans and how wrong they were and he "just happened"
to post this around the same time of our little debate. Seriously?!
You can't just leave our debate in the thread we argued in? You just
had to share you anti vegan opinions with the whole forums?!
I know that the thread was basically about and against me.
I bet he would get angry if I made a thread saying how stupid and
wrong meat eaters are. (I'm not saying I think that meat eaters are dumb.)
I'm just saying he would be mad if I did, so why make one against vegans
especially knowing I'm probably gonna see it?
"I agree with Crysatoes, i cant agree with any strict vegan diet. IT really isn't natural ( if it once was it isn't anymore, we aren't the same animals we were even 500 000 years ago). Just as the Inuit don't eat a strictly meat diet, no human in nature weould eat a strict 100% vege diet. Look at tribes in the amazon.. Most of their diet is what the land provides ( fruits nuts, berries etc), but they alway include meat... Humans in that situation don't eat as much meat due to the energy and time it takes to hunt. If they go out to hunt and cant get anything, theres nothing left to eat but plants....."
*facepalm*
Also know he never provided even 1 link to a page proving his points.
I have no reason to believe this since there is no source.
And I know, I'm to blame too! I should have just walked away because
as the saying goes "You can lead a man to water, but you can't make him think!"
I learned how true that is.
This quote is from a different thread:
"that's the game of survival. And frankly given the chance animal WILL eat humans, baby or otherwise. On the other side of that, they run up against the fact that we humans are the undisputed masters of the game of survival (for the time being anyway) and that would never happen. Do you think cattle go willingly to the slaughter? It is forced, and there is no animal capable of forcing us into that. We win, pure and simple....and a lot of people feel guilty about that, but that's the game. Kill or be killed. We put a pretty face on it and call it civilization but the game remains unchanged."
Seriously? Where is the logic in that. If we stop killing cows,pigs, chickens, fish etc.
they won't take over the world and eat us! I mean really?! *rolls eyes*
UGH!!!!
Thanks for reading this rant!
I just can't believe the stupid things people can say.
