No. That is how base instincts of humans work. How they think is a completely different matter. If you're a thinking person, you know that not all black people are going to try and rob you, first chance they get. but if you are more of an impulsive, irrational and feeling person you'll instantly percieve any black person as being more likely to rob you.DracoSuave said:
It is the effort of fighting these feelings and impulses that separates us from animals. So don't be an animal, be something more...
If you don't curl your lip and scowl at me every time I try to eat. I won't smirk and mock you every time you try to eat. Fair 'nuff?
Not for some people apparently.

I don't hate vegetarians. I just hate people that try to push their agenda on me or try to make me feel guilty about myself. Whether it be PETA or whatever religious or social organization, it all come down to the way the individual or group of individuals way of getting their point across.
I don't hate vegetarians but I heavily disagree and do not understand the vegetarian lifestyle.
Animals kill each other for food every pico second. Why can't we? We gotta eat too.
And why deprive yourself of such a delicious part of the basic food groups?

People don't hate Vegetarians, per se; they hate the pushy ones who either make everyone feel like shit for not being Vegetarian or Vegan, or wear it like a badge of honour and talk about it like it's the only thing going on.
No one's jaw is going to drop if you say that you have chocolate and forget to mention that it's "vegan chocolate". Butting into a conversation between other people simply to point out that you don't wear leather because you're Vegan, is just annoying (if the people happened to be talking about leather or something).
Know what I mean, though? Do what you want, but back off; no one cares =/

Well, obviously so is he a hypocrite. He posted in the comment section too, didn't he? Just do what I do, make a long rant explaining how he's wrong, it'll piss him off.Julianking93 said:
I'm fine with vegetarians except those that say I'm Satan for eating meat. Those real forceful ones that say they are better then meat eaters. Anyone who tries to make me look like Hitler because I enjoy a good burger or steak is the type that I hate. If you are vegetarian and are tolerant of me for eating meat then good for you I can be tolerant of that.
Despite considering myself to be a fairly solid, well-rounded unprejudice person, I do have a thing about vegetarians. They really really annoy me.
I am sure that you are a nice person, you seem very thoughtful and sensative, it is just that I have met so many vegetarians who are completly wet around the ears and huge pains in my neck.
Like one girl who I used to live with, who made a big big fuss about the communal chopping board being used to cut meat. Saying this act `contaminated` her diet and body and that we were being inconsiderate. I say, suck it up and buy your own chopping board, why should three people cater to one person`s beliefs
Then, I go travelling abroad at lot, and there is always one, always one vegetarian who puts his foot in it. Sometimes as a group we are invited to eat with people. You know, it is a foreign country, customs are different, and no matter how foul and disgusting the food looks, you eat it. Even if it is dog, cockroaches, sheep brains, you eat it. Not doing so is really bad manners. But then you get the `vegetarian` who refuses to eat the food because of their `diet` or `beliefs` and it is just pure pure embarassment. It looks so arrogant and ungrateful, and they will not even TRY to eat the food. After this happened twice, I refuse to travel with vegetarians. It is just so humiliating.
Finally, you get the vegetarian around for dinner, who you have to cook seperatly for, and who wlll give you the lecture about environmentalism, diet, vegetarian cooking. After one hour of this, I am ready to kill this person and shave the eco-system off his face.
So, hopefully you can understand, at times, being vegetarian is just plain bad manners. I am sure there are nice vegetarians out there though. But I like people who do not wear there beliefs on their sleeve and will try something different. I think it is fine to be vegetarian, just not full time. It is not really appropriate. Understanding occurs when people try to walk in someone else`s shoes. But you should not aim to be defined by what you choose not to eat.
I can understand that you do not like meat, but I think you will miss out on a lot if you never try.

You should know that your exhibiting an illusory correlation between Meat Eaters and all the hate your getting from being Vegan right? The Escapist is not a representative sample of all meat eaters and their opinions towards vegans nor is your hometown or the people you seem to deem as hostile towards yourself, therefore aren't you as bad as the ones attacking you if all you can do is bring up reasons why you dislike meat just because your genome and sense of taste were altered at birth in order to accept a Vegan life style which was probably an influence radiating from your parents genes and of the many personality traits that people "can" exhibit from observing their parents behaviors at the toddler ages? You coming here to proclaim meat eaters as people who bash Vegans is a futile statement because it is a proven fact that it takes more time to change someone's decision if they made their mind up then those who are undecisive at such a simple life choice as Vegan or Meat Eater? No matter what anyone says to you, you've already put up an A.T. Field (Evangelion joke lol) i mean a personal space around your mind dictating that Vegan is a definitive life style, though i am attempting to make a point i should also state a hostile question towards you, "you are aware of all the small animals that die every year that thrive within the fields of meat substitutes you consume that are harvested by farmers right?"Julianking93 said:
I myself have no opinion in your statement because i feel everyone should live their life the way they want to though i do get violent if someone forces me to change the way i live just because they deem my way inferior without providing ample reasoning proved by research and facts and that those who attempt this are nothing more than fools caught by the rich individuals traps who have managed to convince them that their product/market genre is worth defending without looking at all provided facts through an unbiased point of view.
Edward
P.S. Quite the rude statement don't you think, kind of makes me wonder how many more of you are their for different product/market genres defending it as if it were sent down to earth by the "Jewish" zombie himself. It's nice to know that fans duke it out against one another while the upper class people who created the reason for their fight take all the money they stole from these idiots to the bank don't you o.o?
Have fun with mad cow, samenela and a whole host of other things. No food source is perfect and any sort of meat is dangerous (fish or otherwise).Glefistus said:

But you're on the escapist and your avatar is Hong Kong Fooey so you're probably neither. But admittedly, I love my meat. Hell, I should be renamed Whoah Pete. Why you ask? Because "He loooves that meat"

Not sure how much the topic has strayed since OP, but I'll just say this:
I have nothing against anyone, nor the choices they make in life. I do have a problem when people decide they need to rub their choices in my face and try to guilt trip me because I didn't make those same choices.
So I don't hate vegetarians, I hate when certain vegetarians see fit to complain that I'm not a vegetarian like they are. If you wanna eat nothing but salads and such, fine, but I want a big juicy burger, so fuck off if you have a problem with that.
