I personally can't tell by looking whether something is real leather or man-made leather.

Also, I have known many vegans that bought used leather, because it doesn't increase the demand for it or anything...and they are in a way "recycling".

Now that I think of it, when I was vegan I got far more shit from meat eaters than I've EVER gotten from vegetarians being a meat eater.

I never preached shit unless someone brought it up and started arguing with me about it. I didn't give a shit if you ate meat and loved it...but meat eaters take it personally that you aren't one of them. When I'd skip turkey at thanksgiving my whole family would give me shit....so just leave vegetarians alone unless they are fucking with you.

I myself really don't give a damn what anyone eats, as long as they're not trying to eat me (eh, you know what I mean)... Although I did about flip out from hearing about that stupid ass Atkins diet when it was constantly being mentioned...

My best friend is a vegetarian himself. The only problem I have with it is that I truely believe his eating habits are affecting his health. He only eats very fews foods.... most of which consists of cheese, grease, and some form of tomato sauce.

I love him like a brother, so I keep my mouth shut.

How did it go?

well we were covering different types of domestic terrorism in one of my law enforcement classes, and someone brought up how they used to be affiliated with ALF....another student asked what ALF was, and i responded, then ensued a debate about whether acts of terroism/arson/ect should be used to save animals. I will leave my personal feelings out of this, but what i can tell you is that if it wasnt for animal testing i would not be alive today, and id say that goes for alot of people, and that was the point that I made to the class....it was a very interesting discussion, wish u all could have been there....best thing is that no one was pissed at each other.

yeah i dont see why its a big deal. when i can, i try to avoid eating meat in front of my non-meat eating friends..or at least ask if it will upset them before i do it.

just common courtesy.

Unfortunately, common courtesy isn't so common anymore.

It's all about "You offend me with your actions/eating habits/clothing/etc. and I must have legislation to control you because you don't feel/think/act like I do. THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU! CONFORM! CONFORM!"

Well, I don't really care what someone else does as long as it doesn't interfere with what I want to do. You do your thing, I'll do mine and we'll all be happy.

I really don't see how eating meat in front of a vegetarian is all that offensive. I don't complain if they order a salad and nothing else.

PETA are fucking insane. It has nothing to do with their beliefs. They're just actually fucking insane. Remember that turkey/terrorism commercial after 9-11? That was fucking ridiculous and in massively poor taste.

Yeah I don't think that I've met anyone who was really bothered by seeing people eat meat. If so they are shitheads who should get over it, lol. Its not like their meat is going down into their lungs like second hand smoke...

Over heard at a local police station while I was getting some paperwork:

Officer 1: Did you hear we're not doing any more accident reports for Car versus Deer?
Officer 2: Hadn't heard why not?
Officer 1: They got tired of reports reading, unidentified victim was struck by vehicle, driver stopped to render aid, however John Doe refused to provide information and was seen fleeing into the woods

(the joke is much better verbal than typed, trust me on that)
