Breaking vows

[Infi]

What are some cases in which you have had to break some vows in your life. Explain, discuss, share and all that jazz. :mrgreen:

[Riku3220]

Did you get the idea to stop eating KFC after the Kentucky Fried Cruelty thread? That was a fun thread. :P

 

 

 

Anyways, no harm done. Just look the other way and pretend it never happened.

I already stopped eating prior to that thread. Seeing all those responses in that thread just helped me reinforce a stronger will to stay the hell away from KFC :mrgreen: (And all other inhuman food establishments)

Google "McDonald's Kitchen" by Seamus Kennedy and any temptation you ever had to eat fast food will vanish.

If you don't eat the chicken, your dad will, so you might as well eat it having the chickens know you actually care about them.

[Zonorhc]

You odious turd. People halfway across the world would kill to be able to eat that chicken, but you won't because it's "cruel" to the animals?

 

 

 

Get over your stupid vow and eat the friggin' bird.

 

 

 

God, I'm going to have to gank some Alliance to ease off this foodrage.

just because someone else is willing to do something doesn't mean you should. besides, the situations are incredibly different; they need food or they'll die, whereas our friend here will just get a stomach ache.

Just an update, the KFC near our area is closed down so my dad didn't manage to bring home any. Kind of half pleased and half upset mainly because I'm hungry :|

The same can be said for many things. I'm just more fortunate than others and I do not in any way take that for granted.

[Ouchy]

Honestly, what does it matter if you eat it. Sure, you might be breaking your vow, then never eat it again, but millions of other people will eat anyway. And like Zonorhc said, people in other countries wold kill to eat that, because they have nothing else to eat.

[llcoolguy972]

This is kind of a moot point, but if you're serious about this vow, don't eat the chicken. I'm sure your parents are reasonable enough that if you told them why you didn't want to eat, then they would try to respect your beliefs. But saying you're against KFC's stance on animal cruelty then asking for another drumstick doesn't really make you seem like you're serious.

[RichieMcD]

I love it when people stop eating things like McDonalds or KFC they feel they're actually making a difference. The majority of major fast food companies put so much preservatives into the food that simply it will just take a little longer to sell, it will still get sold by the end of the day.

 

 

 

Also, those who stop eating it because of the cruelty to chickens crap, what have you done which actually might have an effect on stopping the cruelty occurring? You'd probably make more of a difference signing a petition than stop eating the food.

[Lenticular_J]

Yeah we do. We're playing on the internet. We all take it for granted to some extent. And I don't much mind. My ancestors worked hard, combined with good circumstances, and my great-great-grandfather being very attractive. Sucks for the other folks, but I can't quite fly to Africa and help, now can I?

 

 

 

I'll eat the KFC, anyways. I'm hungry too. I don't see much of a problem with breaking silly vows (I see food-related ones differently than most people, I guess - you might take them seriously, so disregard me). Just serious ones. Like not to cut your food. To eat it whole. Yeah.

 

 

 

I don't much care about inhumanity. Because they aren't human. It's inchickenanity that I worry about. HAH. HAHA. HA.

 

 

 

...Yeah.

[rangeor]

You really wouldn't make much of a difference if you eat KFC one time. In my opinion you'd break the vow if you ate it twice in one month, or something along those lines.

[Da_Latios]

Whether you ate the chicken or not, the chicken was already dead. They didn't kill it AFTER you ordered it.

[Infi]

Now I wasn't intending this to be an animal rights vs. human rights debate so let's just stray off that topic. I never said that I was aware that what I did has any, if any implications on the fast food industries and their policies on their resources.

This is a statement which bothered me the most. I can infer at the very least that as a company, one person or even a group of persons is not going to affect the way a business is run. A business is operated to make profit. I do not feel that by boycotting such restaurants that I make a difference on a business scale, but more over on a personal scale.

 

 

 

However that's irrelevant and I'd like the attention to shift to what I really intended, and that is if anyone has made a personal vow to themselves that they've broken.

[Robert_de_Sable]

They're chickens, a lower life form than humans. I don't see the problem here. Either eat or don't :/

[Infi]

To quote myself:

This was not meant to be an animal rights thread and I was merely using my own experience as an exemplar. I'm not exactly a die-hard animal rights activist, but I'm not exactly a complete humanist. Making a difference or not, I feel that by excluding myself I feel content to the decision that I do not partake in such activities and do not promote it on a personal level. That's all.

 

 

 

Edited my original post as to not diverge from the intended topic.

[Lenin64]

You made a topic to complain about having to maybe eat delicious fried chicken? What?

You had me, then you lost me. So the answer is "no."

 

 

 

This topic really is pointless, but it reminds me of this morning in biology how we talked about if we would eat humans as a last resort to survival, and it got me curious about the taste of human flesh. I would eat a person, but they couldn't be diseased. I would prefer them to not be killed by me too.

[Orpheus]

Seriously, it's a chicken, I won't eat it because it's "cruel", I'll eat it to survive. I really don't like the taste of chicken much, doesn't appeal to my tastes well.

So many ways to interpret your thread. Care to give us a few examples?

I did, except that everyone started talking about chicken and turned it into an animal rights thread.

 

 

 

An example could be on not as a bigger scale as a vow may seem, but more over as say, a simple promise could be.

 

Say you promise not to eat ice cream, yet succumb to its delicious and creamy goodness. What where your thoughts and feelings throughout that especially if and when you've taken so much time to stray away from what you've been preventing yourself from.

 

 

 

I'd rather not use my own personal exemplar as you can see because even though I've edited my original post, people continue to talk about chicken :cry:

[meol]

It doesn't have to be solely about food you know. :lol: You can make a vow not to insult anyone any more, or to start facing hard situations instead of avoiding them. And maybe you broke them just because you're human, and even your best try won't be enough. But maybe you are still trying hard, and you feel that those broken vows still help you be a better person.

 

 

 

If you get my drift.

Food is delicious, and I always end up losing to it :(
