Vegens keep ur ideas with u. It's not your duty to force people to become vegan?

I've been a vegetarian for five years. I used to be highly offended when meat eaters started interrogating or insulting me, and as I've never pressed my beliefs on anyone, I didn't get why they were doing it to me. Then one day, I met the most obnoxious vegan I've ever met in my life, who had a go at me for eating eggs and saying I couldn't possibly love animals (right after he called my ex USMC fiance a killer for being in the armed forces). And I realized then that at some point in their lives most meat eaters had come across someone like him, and I felt sympathy. But I've found the best way to avoid conflict is for vegans and vegetarians to not press their beliefs on meat eaters, and for meat eaters to do the same. I'm not religious and find it highly offensive to have religious people push their beliefs on me. If you think you're doing good by having a go at someone for eating meat, you're actually giving all vegetarians/vegans a bad name and making them less inclined to give us the time of day. So let's all just agree to disagree.

If I wasn't exposed to veganism I may have never became a vegan. I didn't know I was causing so much harm, and with a little research it was easy for me to make the decision.

Many vegans now weren't born vegans. All of them heard about it from somewhere else. They know that by spreading the message, those who are open to it may adopt a vegan lifestyle, just like they did. By spreading the message, it is likely that you were a target a few times. They might have been hoping you would have an open mind and would be motivated to do some research about the leather, fur, slaughter, egg, and dairy industries, as well as animal testing, zoos and circuses, etc, and make your own educated decision after that.

I know that I can't make everyone a vegan, but I do hope to educate people about factory farming. If you wouldn't personally treat animals the way they are in the factories, why pay someone else to do it? If you looked it up and decided that you're ok with it, then keep doing what you're doing, but know that there is a large group of people out there who dont support you, and deal with it.

We don't push people! We're informing them how cruel animals are being treated! We aren't shoving our food down your throats or repeatedly say "You have to be vegan!" or "You should be vegan!"

We let you make a choice and hope you pick the right one. Not all non-veg think like you.

So drop the ignorance and get out of this section. :)

EDIT: Oh and, Vegans* Your* You* People* You* :) Spell right and then come back okay?

EDIT: And what's brainless about us? Some people would like to say that YOU don't have a brain but if someone cut open your head.. HEY! There it is. But it's filled with nonsense.

If you read the Christian bible, the first page obviously says that god wanted us and the animals to share the fruit and plants.

His original plan was for us to be vegetarians. You don't have to agree with me or believe me but i'm just stating facts.

a lot of us stopped eating meat because of Animal Cruelty and Animal Rights.

If you watched the movie "Earthlings" then how would you feel getting your skin ripped off for fur coats while you were still alive? How would you like to be kicked round for no reason?

Animals have as much of a right as us to be here on this planet.

Even though there may be so many different species in the world, we are ALL Earthlings. Therefore we're even commiting a form of cannibalism by eating them.

Of course you knew. We are used to trolls. Though you were schooled , admit it. This IS our section you are in .

What exactly about it do you think is brainless ? You cant expect anyone to answer anything specifically or with facts unless you mention some specific part you disagree with.

No one is forcing you to do anything . We cant help it if you were born without compassion.

Sorry but mind boggling, blood curdling pain ,suffering and cruelty inflicted on undeserving beings, environmental impact , and toxins in our bodies bothers us. Hmm, I guess it's just a defect we were born with , sigh.

You are the one in OUR section. We aren't over in the generic food , cooking section . Duh. Oh thats a laugh. Meat eaters trolls sit in the vegetarian section 24/7 .

Dont want to hear our views on slaughter and cruelty, get out.

I agree with David.

Uhm I smell a troll....
