I'm sure vegans have a SOH...OK...not the one's I know...but some must have?

WorraLiberty · 26/01/2013 23:48

Well let's see...

Oh I can't wrap it up with a bow so I'm just going to come straight out with it....

It's not exactly anywhere near hilarious is it?

And if you think it is, perhaps you need to get out more?

And I say that as a dedicated meat eater...but one with a sense of humour.

It's just a bit shit Confused

Fair enough. Everyone has different things that tickle them. I know it's very silly but it just made me giggle. Not sure what that has to do with how much I do or don't get out, but there you go.

Tehehehe

Naysa · 26/01/2013 23:52

That's not hilarious IMO Hmm and I have an incredible sense of humour

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/01/2013 23:52

I just think it's really fucking lame that people feel the need to take the piss out of something that their teeny tiny brain cannot understand.

Someones a vegan- so what

Someones a veggie- so what

Someones a carnivore- so what

Who cares. All the 'save cows eat a veggie' is also pathetic shit too, but i'm sure it cracked you up.

AgentZigzag · 26/01/2013 23:55

Taking it a little too seriously there puds?

AllYoursBabooshka · 26/01/2013 23:57

Honestly, what is with people tonight?

StuntGirl · 26/01/2013 23:58

Someones a vegan- so what
Someones a veggie- so what
Someones a carnivore- so what

Exactly. I could give a rat's ass what other people's diets are. Who cares?

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/01/2013 23:59

Probably. But I have had shit for ages because of my eating decisions, and I really don't understand it.

I don't comment on what you eat, so what makes it ok for you to comment on what I eat? What makes it ok for people to make jokes about it?

Really grinds my gears.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/01/2013 23:59

Thank you stunt that is my point exactly! Eat what the hell you like.

Moominguru · 27/01/2013 00:00

Oh dear. Rattled a few cages there then. Oops. I am quite capable of understanding vegan/veggie/carnivore, and yes indeed "so what". Kind of makes you wonder why they would need a support group then......

AgentZigzag · 27/01/2013 00:02

The OP didn't say all vegans should be burned alive puds.

Tweasels · 27/01/2013 00:02

I don't get it. Or it's not funny.

Think it's probably just not funny.

Alisvolatpropiis · 27/01/2013 00:02

Made me laugh.

In the great scheme of things I don't care how anyone chooses to eat.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 27/01/2013 00:03

Probably because arserholes people feel the need to continually comment on their lifestyle choices and take the piss out of them.

StuntGirl · 27/01/2013 00:03

Because they're a minority group and finding like minded people is nice? Because it isn't easy being vegan in our society so discussing things relating to a vegan lifestyle is probably helpful?

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 27/01/2013 00:04

Don't think i implied that she did agent. I just find the whole laughing at peoples lifestyle choices annoying and immature.

AgentZigzag · 27/01/2013 00:05

Maybe one of those times where you should have put '(lighthearted)' in the title OP?

AllYoursBabooshka · 27/01/2013 00:05

I have vegan friends Moonmin, for some it's hard to stick to the diet. They morally want to be vegan but still crave the food they used to eat. For others it's hard to be around meat etc, people eating it/seeing it in shops.

I'm guessing that's what the support groups are for.

Moominguru · 27/01/2013 00:07

Exactly. I wasn't making any big point as I really don't have one where this is concerned. It just made me laugh.

OP posts:
AllYoursBabooshka · 27/01/2013 00:09

Oh also it's probably a good place to find out and share knowledge vegan friendly products and where they are sold. Recipes also.

I know there are lots of groups and forums online.

AgentZigzag · 27/01/2013 00:09

The photograph just isn't offensive in the slightest puds.

I know you said there's a good reason why you're posting what you are, but it's like we're answering two different OPs because of the amount you're reading into it.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/01/2013 00:09

Don't get iyConfused
But as a vegetarian (not pescatarian)I'm probably too anaemic and tired to try.
