God damn, defensive much? You've decided that the OP article is full of lies and propaganda, without supplying a shred of reasoning or evidence to support this, and you're trying to paint vegetarianism as some sort of quasi-religious cult a la Scientology. Argue the issues if you like, but leave the vitriol and indignation at home, please. You're making yourself look like an idiot. Vegetarianism has real and demonstrable benefits for both health and the environment, and addresses some real issues of morality regarding animals as well. If you don't give two fucks about animal rights, and you like steak, that's fine. But if your argument is 'I don't care,' then you're hardly in a position to blast people who attempt to argue with scientific studies, statistics, etc. Quit acting like vegetarians are obligated not to talk about vegetarianism, for fear of offending your carnivorous sensibilities. | ||

Actually, If one person choses not to eat meat, then there is a Real difference... there will be X kg less meat produced per year as certain stores sell less than they expect and so cut their orders for next year.. and that works its way back to less animals being raised for meat. On the other hand your vote does Not matter in an election unless the election is a tie. which means there is a very very good chance your vote is exactly 0 (in the election, if it influences the reported ballot numbers..which is more likely... it may make your favored candidate seem like a more viable choice in the next election, or may make the winner more/less confident in their political support, thus influencing their decision making) | ||

Arguing with Baal is like Russian Roulette, and all who know him well realize that he is just a bit..blunt in nature, kinda like Rekrul, without the mood swings. It's easy to misinterpret what he's saying. Also haha Mora! | ||

All I can think of is that it's too bad that experiment trying to collect methane from livestock and use it as fuel to create electricity didn't work out. It wasn't cost effective. I remember seeing pictures of cows strapped with tanks piped to their asses...ahahaha. | ||

As mora said, i am not arguing about vegetarianism, i am arguing about OPs interviewed asshole. Global Warming to advocate vegetarianism? fuck that shit, could that asshole try to use any more pathetic vile manipulation to pursue his personal agendas?. Discussions about vegetarianism for the following reasons make sense: - Health - The morality in animal consumption - World Hunger But climate change? fuck him and all his offspring for doing such a pathetic attempt, especially when its not even proven that man has something to do with it, and now a big portion of the scientific community is claiming that we were actually in a micro ice-age till mid 1800s, and that in the roman times the average weather was way hotter than nowadays, not to mention earlier stages of the earth. Also it is clear that he is leading people to follow his beliefs by the wrong way when he says that in the end "everyone" will be a vegetarian, which says he is not worried about climate, but about morality. If you want to discuss the morality of eating meat i have some decent arguments on it too. | ||
