Vegetarians

That's some shit title. Remember I'm not making you read this.







The rest of this blog may cause offence to some people, it's what I think, it's general, don't take it personally even if what I say may apply to you because it isn't directive.







I'm going to prove the point above by making a "in your face" statement:



You SHOULD be a vegetarian. You shouldn't eat meat, and guess what, whatever you think of me right now because I said that is alllllllllllllllll because you feel guilty, and to be honest: good.







I have so many people asking me: "Why are you a vegetarian?" I'm beginning to wonder if everyone WANTS to start an arguement or if the whole planet really IS retarded.



I don't know how I'm going to structure this, I don't want to talk about the pros of vegetarianism.



Actually I've just realised I want to rant about people's lack of morals and hypocricy.

Warning: this is going nowhere.

Lets be upfront:



1) I find it disturbing that it's the norm for everyone to eat meat. Whenever I see a kid eating a chicken sandwich or whatever, I hate knowing that the influence is down to the parents, who I know, know better. They know that animals are slaughtered horribly, and still they influence their children into thinking it's okay...and then those children will grow up knowing it. Why is all this shit okay? I know what your gonna say to me: "we need meat to survive," guess what? Your not a health expert, and in actual fact it's not a necessity to our diet, so in short: fuck you.



2) I hate people who believe that it doesn't matter if animals die. Because they don't have the means to communicate with us doesn't mean they deserve death. Maybe they don't have the same level of interlect as us. Using this logic, does that mean the dumbass in your maths class deserves to be killed and eaten? In all honesty, probably not.



3) I hate people who try to justify it: "everything else but meat gives me indigestion, therefore I'm FORCED to eat it!" Aha, I'll bet, well if that's your excuse then don't say to me: "I care," because you obviously don't.



4) Anyone who eats meat: you DON'T care about animals. "Its horrible what they do to animals!"-yes it is, so why are you still eating meat? Advice: don't say that to me, because I will question you on whether or not you eat meat, and if you say "yes," I won't say anything, but you now know what I'll be thinking. In other words: don't try to empathise with my views, because if you eat meat, I'll find it patronising: I will take offence.



5) I don't like being in a large group of people all eating meat. I become awkward for hours on end, on purpose. I try and avoid these situations as much as possible...it's been a recent development: I would apologise for inconviencing you, but I'm not sorry.



6) I used to be very open minded in my views about meat eating...the longer I've gone without meat the more I care, and now being completely honest: I find the idea of anyone who fully understands the slaughter process, who still eats meat, sickening.



7) I used to be like anyone else, I just didn't care, EVERYONE eats meat, so that makes it okay right? No, that's like saying: "Gary glitter molests children, so that means its okay yeah?" I got a massive kick up the arse when I got verbally abused by vegetarians in Brookfield once. Afterwards, I was angry, upset and it subconciously made me feel guilty but I didn't want to admit that they were right. I think this was the key element that triggered thoughts about meat, I became more aware of it, and thought about it more. I eventually became a vegetarian because I had been forced to think about it. Curiosity drove me to finding out more about how animals were slaughtered, and I realised there was no argument in it: It is wrong. Just 'cos the majority of people do it, doesn't make it okay.




8) "What do you mean you restrain yourself from having ago at me for eating meat? So you WANT me to be a vegetarian?"-I don't think anyone should eat meat, just because that includes you, doesn't mean I'm personalising it.





9) "Are you like one of those crazy people that run around with banners and stuff and tie you themselves to butchers?"-No, but I don't disagree with people who do that.








10) I told you this would be me moaning, and it's not constructive, or to make a point. Maybe I am oversensitive, but I can't really help it...








Why do I do this when "no one else does it!"?


Right and wrong exist, not understanding to the full extend of thing's or denying them, doesn't make it more right or less wrong, it's much simpler then that;
It's just plain wrong.
