Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

Weird, but to me, that picture looks like more than a brain...I see a chicken head with an eye on top of a body...gross and horrible and sad whatever it is.

I believe they ended up finding out it was a kidney or something of that sort.

I've seen it posted on Facebook with a comment about how he's upset that there was a body part in his bucket of body parts.

Yo Dawg We heard you liked dead animal bits so we put some dead animal in yo dead animal...

Or something like that...

Ive read alot of this thread today. It was great. I was completely raw a year or so back,,i was trying to get my health in order,,,and my mother just couldnt wrap her head around it. I love my Mom dearly,,,,shes a hoot. I went to her house one day and she had made chicken stew,,,,,,she asked if I wanted some. I said no thank you its full of chicken and cooked. She said, Ill pick the chicken out and cool it off for you (I was raw remember). I said,,,no,,Mom, really its ok, I just ate before I came in. She did not say any of it out of disrespect, she just didnt understand is all. But I still laugh about it. She was trying. She always makes sure there is something for me to eat,,,,even if its homemade bread and natural peanut butter. I loove my mom and she tries very hard to support me in any decisions I make.

All the facepalms...ever

I am not a vegetarian because I have always loved animals and enjoy seeing them in our fields. I know that if people gave up eating meat they would have no life at all. No farmer could afford to keep any animal just for us to look at. Heifers would have a life if they were bred to give milk but all male cattle would be killed at birth. As would pigs and sheep. I know they don't live their full life span but better that than no life

Plenty of omnivores don't seem to quite understand how many vegans there are. They act like you are the only vegan, and maybe a few others living on a commune in Vermont somewhere.

Sure, one vegan won't make a difference in the food supply, but millions of us do!

I got the plants have feelings line the other day.

I was talking to my landlord's 40+ year old son about animals. We were talking about cute animal and unusual animal pairs we had heard about, like the dog and koi who were best friends.
Him: I heard that it's been proven that shellfish feel pain.
Me: Of course they do, I've know that for a long time. Then I said in a joking manner, "yet you still eat them".
Him: Well you eat plants and they feel pain.
Me: (trying my best not to roll my eyes) They have no central nervous system.
Him: You still don't know for sure that they don't feel pain. I'm sure they don't like you eating them.

And it deteriorated from there.
Conversations with him always start out normal, but he usually manages to drag some conspiracy theory into it. It's too bad his ban on Mexican food idea isn't on topic because it's a doozy.

 

[kibbleforlola]

Why doesn't he eat mexican food?!

 

[Envy]

People need to realize that there is more to Mexican food than what you can find at Taco Bell though.

This reminded me of a story about a man doing a dance on a beach throwing some starfish in the water. Anyone know how it went? It was to do with v*ganism xxx

I know this one at least.

A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water.
Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.
As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water.
The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied,"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. "But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference."
The boy looked down, frowning for a moment; then bent down to pick up another starfish, smiling as he threw it back into the sea. He replied,

"I made a huge difference to that one!"

Oh, I just Googled "boy throw starfish ocean".

But I've read it before too.

That's one of my favorite stories on the subject.

I get in from class and for some reason sisters and mom are having lunch.

Oh we got you a salad. It was an accidental extra. It is chicken but you can pick the chicken off.
Me- What kind
Sis- Caesar Salad.
Me- No thanks, anchovies.
Sis- What is wrong with fish.
Me- I do not like it, or eat. It is not vegetarian.

After 16+ years of being veg.

Oh and thanks for thinking of me with "extra" salad with chicken on it.

 

[alligatortears]

My teacher said yesterday that eating vegetarian chicken-flavoured crisps wasn't vegetarian, even thought they contain no actual animal products, because you're "pretending to eat meat".

I read this and thought he seemed immature for a 14 year old and then I realised you wrote 40 years!
