"You drink your coffee like a woman"

 

 

Fold your pizza like a man.

Om your mouse like a cat.

Huh, I'm a vegetarian for several reasons which can't really be refuted:

 

1- I was raised that way

 

2- I find meat unappetizing in appearance

 

3- I had meat before in my youth (as in, like, 3 or 4 years old), and I disliked it. This includes fried chicken, turkey, ground beef, and probably others.

 

4- As a bonus, it's healthier in a lot of ways. After all, it's hard to find an voerweight vegetarian who actually follows the diet and ahs for a long while.

 

As 2 of those are sheer opinion, you can't argue them.

 

Now tell me, can you give reasons why I should eat meat, that aren't opinion based?

 

All of those (except for #1) are legitimate reasons. There are some good reasons for being a vegetarian, but I got to say that most I've heard (especially on that vegetarianism debate thread) are just ridiculous.

 

"Humans weren't meant to eat meat."

"It's immoral."

"Meat is detrimental to your body."

"Eating meat = condoning animal abuse."

 

Really, if it comes down to your preference, there's obviously nothing wrong with it. It's when vegetarians point the finger of shame at meat-eaters that grinds my gears, and those terrible arguments they try to use.

 

(Think a guy literally attempting to shove pepperoni into your mouth.)

 

I would attempt to shove a fist into his mouth.

The girl I'm dating now is a vegitarian...I'll say, thank god she's not one of those people who get mad when they see someone eating meat. :mellow:

(It doesn't annoy me, I'm just posting it to go along with the vegetarian-related discussion.

You see this kind of thing in every cause though. It pops up on both sides of every political or religious debate we have here about evenly.

Quite annoying too. Not so much "annoys the hell outta me" level as much as "okay get on with it" level.

The RuneScape Community.

'Kid', 'No-lifer', & 'Noob' phase the immature.

"Your house is beat down", "Your income salary is low", & "You drink your coffee like a woman" phase the older audiences.

 

Until RuneScape children understand who to insult with what remark, there's gunna' be alot more 'Kids' joining RS unless John Deere comes back to many households.

 

And you don't find this post ironic at all?

True, I think I've just had too many bad experiences in vegetarianism arguments that I forgot there are legitimate reasons out there.

If ye've got a reason (you were raised like that, medical or what have you), you're good to be vegetarian. But if you're picking it up just 'cause, you're a douche.

 

Personally, I couldn't think of any way someone could stop eating meat. It's just too damn good. :thumbup:

To derail this lovely vegetarianism debate...

Being a few words off of a requirement in an essay. I need 500 words, I'm at 468, and I can't think of anything to add without being overly wordy or redundant, as I'd get marked down for it. My 'natural' writing style tends to be wordy though, which I'm sure was partly borne out of a need to pad essays so they'd hit some arbitrary word count rather than making my point as concisely as possible.

I wonder if I could get away with writing just 499 words... :lol:

I once got a decent mark on a 1000 word essay using only ~300 words. I think 468 of 500 is fine.

 

On the topic of vegetarianism, I don't care what somebody else eats... just don't tell me what to eat or I WILL rub a steak in your face.

 

Also, to the topic of the thread, people who try to convince me to go back to school knowing very little about my life. I'm quite happy with it at the moment.

http://forum.tip.it/topic/277546-vegetarianism/

 

Yeah, I made a topic on the vegetarianism.

 

Things that annoy the hell out of me... Sarcastic insults by teachers

 

It's like, -.-

The Onion.

 

"One out of every five Americans believe Obama is a cactus."

 

They are surprisingly even more idiotic than the people they're making fun of. Get a real job, such as cleaning out gas station restrooms, begging for change on the side of the road, or training and selling WoW accounts.

 

It reminds me of the whole "Vampires Suck" thing. Yes, Twilight is stupid. If you really need to go to through all of that trouble to get the point across that Twilight is a bad movie, like it's not already de facto, then for god's sake, someone with a heart just poison their food and end their suffering already.

I have found a few in making my controversial topics.

 

The moral Vegetarian.

 

'Bringing children up as vegetarian is easy [provided you have ready access to a supply of kelp tablets, so vital for a healthy thyroid] and quite logical really when you think that many very young children have a dislike of meat in particular [but nothing like the loathing they feel towards broccoli, sprouts and cabbage]. When my children were babies I felt that giving them meat did not seem natural, [new variant Argument from Stupidity] partly because I did not eat it myself [irrelevant to whether meat is natural] but also because it seemed to be a very 'heavy' food, slow to pass through the digestive system of a very young child. I also felt [a lot of 'felts' here] that since meat is so high in protein [like breast milk] it is a rather unbalanced food to inflict on an immature digestive system [all food groups consumed on their own are unbalanced] - added to which, it is expensive [largely irrelevant socio-economic factor. Not being able to afford a lot of meat doesn't warrant its total exclusion. Besides, kippers are cheap and nutritious while the prices of organic vegetables, cashews, and packaged 'health products' can be astronomical].

 

As children (and adults) do not need to eat meat in order to be healthy there seems little point in giving it to them, particularly if they do not like it. [As children (and adults) also do not need to eat lentils, mung beans or courgettes in order to be healthy there seems little point in giving them to them, particularly given that they hate things beany and greeny].'

 

The anti-abortionist.

 

There are anti-abortionist pro-life people who kill doctors to prove that killing is wrong. How hypocritical is that? And there are alot of flaws in their arguments - "Killing a unborn Fetus is wrong because it has a right to life", but that is implying that other things being killed, namely plants and other animals, haven't got the right to life. This is an argument of uncertainty. Since you cannot be sure a plant lacks the right of life (they are proven to respond to stimuli, and possibly feel pain), it would be hypocritical to use that argument.

 

Anti-Efficiency people.

 

Some are fine, I have no problem if you want to play the game you want to. The ones who preach about how 'Slayer is the best way to train', etc, would be the ones that annoys me. Not every efficient player is a freak who spends 22 hours a day at the computer slaving over RuneScape trying to get an extra 2k xp/h through undivided attention.

 

Lastly, Msn/Text messaging.

 

It's less of the actual messaging system, it's more of the abbreviations used. Teenage girls on Msn (Yes, I talk to teenage girls, it's okay) tend to use a lot of abbreviations online, such as 'brb' and 'omg'. Another one of the grammar things are 'how u doin xx'

 

Sure, trying to type something on a text does take some effort, but typing does not require much effort yet people are still too lazy to type out 2 extra characters.

 

Oh, one more before I post this; Inability to detect sarcasm. Sarcastic remarks aren't meant to be taken literally.

 

That's the end of my little rant, feel free to discuss

The UMP45.

I hope you're talking about a virtual UMP45.

 

Aye. I'm sure a real UMP45 will have the same effect.

Really? It's never seemed that bad to me. I don't read it that often, and I can see where you wouldn't like it, but it seems like they've got some good stuff. Or at least the majority of the stuff in the "most popular" thing is worth the five minutes of reading.

(Think a guy literally attempting to shove pepperoni into your mouth.)

I would attempt to shove a fist into his mouth.

 

I was a pacifist and coward at that point in time, and so I didn't do anything than insult him and make remarks about how odd it is that he'd "want his meat in my mouth."

 

Luckily, I've learned how to properly defend myself since then, and am a lot more confident. (And that person now avoids me due to this.)

 

 

OT: The fact that I must thoroughly spellcheck all of my posts because I typo every 5 words or so.

Homeless people. "Spare sum change bro?"

Living in an apt. building and hearing lame people b*tch at eachother.

 

The first one applies to me more, my neighbours are damn annoying too. Girl next door never stops moaning...

I go downtown every day for coop, and there's a few streets loaded with bums. Some are junkies, some just look cold and hungry... but they all beg. I understand the difficulties of being home/jobless, but it pisses me off.

 

The other day I went to Subway downtown, bought a footlong, got out of the restaurant and someone was literally waiting for me to ask "Can I have half of your sub man?" I was like... "Dude... no. [bleep] off"... and just last week, I was near the bus station and I pulled out my Ipod, and a bunch of change fell out (1$, 2$) and some homeless guy ran up and snatched it. What the [bleep]?

 

I was homeless for a year and I never begged, never tried heavy drugs and never stole anything... It's not as hard as it seems to get back on track.

When you go to the toilet, and find that there isn't any toilet tissue... :ohnoes:

 

"I love you're posts"

People who double post on their own threads.

My Top 10 (in random order):

 

1. Just using the letter L to say laughter. We already have Lol and Haha to describe it, we don't need to dum it down further than that :mellow:

2. People who massively overuse abbreivations on the internet. Moderate usage isn't that annoying

3. People who critize in an attempt to spread grammer and spelling perfection <_<

4. American Republicans. I'm Canadian and their major ideas of conservatism is waayyy far right and rather messed up than Canada's Conservative Party is :unsure:

5. Hardcore religious people who try to convert me and say I'm going to hell :-?

6. In relationships, when you give it your all and the girl doesn't really try at all -.-

7. A male organ issue involving visable bumps in your jeans at random times :-#

8. Friends who just go off in a group and leave you behind, and not really acting like they give a general damn about you :uhh:

9. Feelings of aloneness when stabbing your leg with a pencil seems fun :-k

 

And the biggest of them all

 

10. Life :-s

There is one annoyance that is so annoying and such a big part of most of our lives that I don't know how I forgot to mention it.

 

Time. Time is the most annoying thing that I have ever encountered. Want more time time to do your homework? Nope, you don't get any. Want more time to play video games? Nope, you don't get any. Time has no mercy at all. You don't have control on how much you get, only on how you can use it. We are all slaves of time.

Which is why we value efficiency. We can't control it so we make the most of what we get.
