I don't see the point of avoiding bone char sugar.

A lot of that just depends on personal purity standards that people hold themselves to. I'd imagine people who avoid "bleached" sugar also probably avoid things that "may contain traces" of milk, eggs, etc.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I feel like a lot of vegans look down on other vegans because they have different standards of what they do and do not believe is vegan when it comes to traces of products.

That makes even less sense to avoid something because it has an allergy warning.

I don't understand why people think discussing bodily functions is distasteful or "not polite conversation"

 

[Cerebellion]

I really don't understand this 'polite conversation' thing. From what I do understand, it's a bunch of people sitting around being fake and/or boring. In all fairness though, I spent most of my life around the type of people that Bukowski wrote about and have understandably taken on some of their traits.

I think part of it is an "ick" factor. Some people might be grossed out by certain things where others are not.

 

[hungryraccoon]

Because it can be quite disgusting & there are certain times when people would rather not talk about disgusting things? Such as at dinner.

Yes Around here anyways. Some people believe that children should fear their parents (their fathers specifically). It "keeps them in line" and they know never to **** off their father.

I am not a fan of fear as a motivator, either. I think it's awful if children fear their parents and have to walk on eggshells around them. A healthy respect for parents is so much better. We feared the consequences of bad behavior (the punishment that would come from such behavior) that my mom always promised would come. She was the queen of following through, too. If you were grounded for two weeks, there was no commuting or shortening of the sentence. Her patience knew/knows no bounds. Her disapproval was far more damaging, lol. But fear her? Never. I think my mom did it right 99.9 percent of the time.

I don't really like Bizarro cartoons.

I was just looking up who the boy was on the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, as I though he spoiled the film. I thought he must have been cast via nepotism, and lo and behold it is Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son.

I always wondered how it felt to ride on the coat tails of someone else's success.

Just because you may disagree with something, and just because the majority may agree with you, there is always a different side to everything.

When people start thinking that there is only one side, or only one right way, that's when you get extremist, that's when you get the tyranny of the majority.

and it works both ways - regardless of your position or viewpoint.

Jaden Smith has seen into the light that sits beyond the beyond, and he is not afraid.

MY opinion UP or other wise is that veg*n forums shouldn't lead people astray into rejecting omnies or other people who eat animal stuff.....some people who are naive, and or innocent might end up quite alienated, while the preaching veg*ns are quite all right Jack, and get on with their lives.

I don't see how some veggie (or mainly vegan people it seems most of the time) even avoid meat-eaters as much as they claim. It must be fairly impossible.

I think the ridiculous accusations comparing omni people to child molesters /serial killers /cannibals etc... is a bad road to take too. Hypocritically I know I must have said things like that when I was new to being a vegan and in the immature and angry stage but it comes across so badly and probably drives people away from the message.

I don't think Bert and Ernie are gay. I think they are just friends, if that is allowed.

I don't know if they are gay or not. What I do know for sure is that they are a 40 year fashion faux pas.

I've been looking for a new house online and why do people in England think that a flowery or patterned feature wall looks good. It's hideous.

If you buy this, then clearly their cover is working out just as they planned.
