I don't care how I sound. I'm tired of having to defend myself. Everyday I have to put up with the same dumb questions and comments from people who don't know know what they're talking about.
" What are you going to eat for Thanksgiving?" (I'll eat whatever I eat any other day of the year as I've no use for these outdated traditions)
"So you eat fish and chicken, right?" (when were fish and chicken declared vegetables? further evidence that people are seperated from the reality of what they stick in their mouths)
"Vegetarians are skinny and always sick." (are you blind?)
"But we have canines" (that don't compare to those of proper carnivores)
"How can you not eat meat, it tastes good?" (does it? even if it really did "taste good", are the means to the end really worth it?)
"Survival of the fittest" (that's hardly fair. There are plenty of humans who aren't exactly the definition of fit, whether it be physically or mentally. Should we abuse them as well?)
"Meat's good for you" (yes, colon cancer, heart disease, clogged arteries and obesity are VERY good for you)
"God put animals here for us to eat." (if you're going to take moral ground, take a look in the mirror. Sloth, vanity (leather, ect), greed, wrath, all apparently things that "god" doesn't like. And whatever happened to "thou shalt not kill"?)
Blah blah blah.
Like I said, I'm tired of it, but if anyone can produce anything that actually IS a "reasoned intelligent argument", I'm willing to listen. Until then, just admit that you have no proper argument and shut up. It's always the meat eaters who bring these debates up (speed, if I remember correcly, you asked), and they always blame the vegetarians of being self-rightious and preachy when they're backed into a corner. I'm so sick of it.
