Fair point Hully, neither would I.

Might finish the Chilli off first though in case I have an epiphany.

pigletmania · 13/02/2013 20:03

Most f your posts hully, fine be a vegetarian that's your choice but don't start preaching and being so negative towards meant eaters.

Hullygully · 13/02/2013 20:03

good plan Tweasels

AnyFucker · 13/02/2013 20:03

carrots are bastards

the orange fuckers

Stropzilla · 13/02/2013 20:03

Nope, you have the courage of your convictions, you stick by them and have the ability to pick topics that will really get people talking. I quite like your posts!

bruxeur · 13/02/2013 20:04

Hully - where is the self righteousness, piglet?

"I think vegetarians get their smugness from not being murderers.
And being more evolved.
And knowing better.

Nothing will stop the stupid from eating meat, it is a proven fact.
I don't care what they do".

How about that bit of cuntishness, from just upthread?

VerySmallSqueak · 13/02/2013 20:04

Hully I think you have perfectly valid points.

Stand Firm!

I am giving my views and explaining them as is everyone else, piglet. It's strange (yet not) that you call mine "preaching" because they differ to yours.

And "being so negative" = saying that in my view it is wrong to eat other species. I don't really see how I can say that "positively"

Perhaps you could help?

Vegeeta · 13/02/2013 20:05

Flaaaame waaars! I like flames, you can bbq on em.

Also yes, those bastard carrots really have forced their way into our diets haven't they, it was those evil feckers who spread the rumour that you can see in the dark after eating them.

GetOrf · 13/02/2013 20:05

lol at hully's epiphany.

usualsuspect · 13/02/2013 20:06

Tis a bit goady this thread,

So I won't answer, apart from I just did.

One post. And I wouldn't call it "smug," it's just someone's opinion is all.

exexpat · 13/02/2013 20:07

It's a bit of a way back in the thread, but recently I keep seeing the argument that human teeth (canines/incisors) mean we are designed to eat meat. Have you ever seen a gorilla's teeth? They are closely related to us and have very scary, carnivorous-looking teeth, but they are completely vegetarian.

Hullygully · 13/02/2013 20:07

Gerrof, I not had no epiphany? I've had my views for over 30 years (old)

I dont saying that you are preaching "Hully" but you are being incredibly patronising.

Who the hell are you to say that my choices are wrong if I chose to eat beef but would turn my nose up at hamster?

Personally I think that vegetarianism is less to do with morals and more to do with superiority, but I dont criticise you for your choices, what gives you the right to criticise mine?

pigletmania · 13/02/2013 20:08

Well hully as humans we are omnivores so are designed to eat bth animal and plant, so why the hell should I feel bad. Mabey you shud crirpticse ther animals for eating meat Hmm

NotADragonOfSoup · 13/02/2013 20:09

Gerrof, I not had no epiphany? I've had my views for over 30 years (old)

You have thought yourself odd for that long?

Bogeyface · 13/02/2013 20:09

ignore typos, on the ipad

Hullygully · 13/02/2013 20:09

The thing is that NOW we have a choice. We used to gather a bit and kill the (very odd) deer, that was extrememly lean, ran freely and was not pumped full of steroids and antibiotics but hey ho...but NOW we can live perfectly healthily and well without dominating and eating other species and treating them badly. Evolution, gotta love it.
