Hey, I know you're not interested in following these but I figured I'd just give you some examples of vegan eating that is healthy but not expensive! http://vegan.tribe.net/thread/cab726e5-4ab7-488a-b06d-6764bfd3e292 http://myvega.com/resources/7-day-meal-plan...

Thanks, but I've spent enough time on the internet to handle myself. Besides, if you'd read the rest of the thread I've already apologised for that post and made some fairly decent contributions to the discussion.

In all honesty, if they eat chicken and fish they have no reason/right to call themselves vegetarian and that's a bit daft.

Yeah, the militant vegans are awful and I'll admit that I haven't been the best representative but I have reeled myself back in after my initial outburst. I don't enjoy being aggressive and it doesn't achieve anything on the internet anyway! That's cool, I lash out too having been mocked for...

You get attitude when you give attitude. I responsed in a calm manner (maybe a little condescending but it was no worse than your first comment that stated vegans don't know what life is) and you have in turn answered with yet another mocking reply. With statements like those is it any...

Like I say, I totally appreciate that that example is not representative of the entire issue and there are things that can't be ignored when this topic comes into discussion. And yeah, pharmaceutical companies are in it for the money so aren't about to stop any time soon. That isn't me...

Actually, we're fully aware of 'what life is', we just choose to give an animals more sanctity than most people it would seem. I don't understand why that is a thing to mock.

Okay, I can certainly see the logic in that. Cosmetic testing pisses me the hell off. It's ridiculous and as you say, do we need more types of shampoo? Medical testing is certainly a difficult area to traverse but ultimately I suppose it does rely on your personal beliefs. I think that...

Yup, this is true but I have also seen this exact image with every one of the items listed having a vegan alternative written next to it. It's damn difficult to avoid all of this stuff and yes, something we vegans slip up. However it's the intent to avoid the products that matters in those...

Right. I know that the thread has moved on from what I said but I just wanted to apologise for getting angry before, it's just that this is one of the few topics that really gets to me. I do not apologise for what I said as it was a badly worded, rash version of what I would have argued anyway...

Who said I wasn't angry? These sorts of threads make me livid, actually. My point was that I'm allowed to get angry at others who are getting aggressive towards me. There seems to be a strange belief that vegans aren't allowed to be angry and other people who are like 'hurr durr, bacon and...

Why should I have to? There was no hypocrisy in my statement and this thread is full of people who are attacking veganism so why should I have to hold back the punches?

Shit, double post.

Honestly? Ugh, this thread is filled with carnists who are unable to see past their bacon sandwich. I think the point of my post went flying past you right there. My boyfriend is not vegan. Neither is my best friend who I live with, nor my family. I don't know any vegans in real life. Do I...

Yeah, I hate vegans!!! How dare they stand up for those who have no voice? How dare they value thousands of innocent lives over their mere taste buds? How dare they strive to make the world a better, more cruelty-free place for all? How dare they challenge my blind, ignorant habits with...
