Why do people hate...

[Julianking93]

Vegetarians?

Why? Its just an eating choice and has absolutely no effect on anyone, yet at the very mention of vegetarianism, people freak out and call them retards and liars.

I myself was in an argument recently with some fucktard on the internet bashing me about my vegetarian life style on YouTube when I mentioned it on a PETA video. I hate PETA and my exact quote was that I don't support them in any way, but I'm still vegetarian, yet I still get assholes who just go on and on about how much they hate it.

So I ask you, Escapist. What are your feelings toward this subject?

EDIT: Okay, I've noticed a few people asking why I'm a vegetarian whether it be medical or that I just don't want to eat animals. The real reason is because I hate the taste of meat. I don't care if you eat meat. I even had a few of my friends try to piss me off by eating an all meat lunch around me, but I just laughed. I don't like the taste of meat and I've found it to be quite healthy although, I'm not a health nut who takes suppliments and protein shakes all day. No offense to anyone that does.

I don't care if you're a vegetarian, a vegan, or a cannibal. As long as you don't annoy me about your choices, I'm fine with what you do.

 

[Julianking93]

Um, eat what you want, i dont care. Just dont try to convert me or yell in my face about how eating cows is murder etc etc.

That's the reason I don't like PETA

From what I've seen, people don't hate vegetarians, they hate vegans. Usually because vegans try to shove their non-meat eating lifestyle down people's throats.

But, there are some people out there that just hate indiscriminately. It's best you just ignore them. They'll die young from blood pressure problems anyways.

I dont "hate" vegetarians, I just hate it when they try to force their beliefs onto me.

Mainly I hate elitism.

 

[IxionIndustries]

I don't care what the hell you eat, just leave your beliefs away from me, and don't do anything ridiculous that's gonna piss me off..

There you go, stealing my thoughts again!

I don't hate vegetarians, I hate stuck up assholes who call me evil for eating meat.

 

[slabomeat]

because they try to persuade me or lobby congress to get their way.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I don't hate them. If you're not a complete asshole we can get along.

People hate vegetarians because they're on the internet and think hating everything makes them cool.

 

[RavingPenguin]

Im a post modern vegetarian. I eat meat, ironically.

Cookie for the reference.

In all seriousness, people usually dont mind as long as you dont try to force them to do anything.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

I love vegetarians, more meat for the rest of us!

 

[KarumaK]

PETA, like all problems regarding hatred for things like this it's PETA.

People dislike vegetarians because some of them act as though they were superior to "normal" people. I know it's by far not all that do so, but there's that image in the heads of many that vegetarians think they're something better and look down on us.

That's the reason no one likes PETA.

 

[Kollega]

I don't mind vegetarians,but i can't imagine being one myself. Mainly i dislike elitists and zealots - of any kind,vegetarians withstanding.

Sometimes,i dream of a future where meat will be grown on trees,so we don't have to kill animals for it.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

I dont dislike vegetarians. In fact, I agree with many vegans and vegetarians: meat is murder


TASTY, TASTY MURDER

I like vegetarians, most of them i meet are really friendly and not trying to push it down my throat. The only annoying ones i meet are those who are doing it just to look cool or what have you. PETA do piss me off though and other animal activists, they do more harm than good, like i know lets release animals that were born in captivity into the wild. Well that was a fantastic idea.
