Today, I came out to my dad. He called me weak minded and said that he has never been more disappointed in me. I didn't come out as gay. I came out as a vegetarian. FML

if by "get vagina's all over them" you mean girls then your insult failed miserably.
If that's not what you meant then you're just an idiot.
Either way, go die in a fire.
@OP: that's pretty hilarious, but I'm sorry your dad is so close minded. Personally I think vegetarianism is stupid, but that doesn't make the people who chose that way of life stupid. It's their choice, and if they believe in it that's awesome, I have no problem with it. So good for you, don't let your dad change your mind.

Congratulations, all you do is tell people to go die, yet you stand the greatest chance of gaining an internet stocker by using a picture of yourself on a public site. Congratulations, idiota.
but really, a vegetarian? Thats respect, as long as youre not just doing it to get attention, because otherwise then you might as well be gay too, because everyone hates people that do shit like that for attention, otherwise, respec

A stocker? That seems very helpful, actually!
I think you mean STALKER. Lawl.
And what do you mean by "you might as well be gay too" ? Because it really comes off as you saying people are only gay so they can receive attention.
I think you should re-examine what respect it and start acting respectful yourself instead of just plain ignorant.

I hate when people try to use the human digestive system argument. It’s the most invalid argument I’ve ever seen, (our digestive system resembles an herbivore more than a carnivore). This argument is meaningless unless we were carnivores to begin with, then I could see why people would make the assumption to eat plants rather than meat. But in reality our digestive system resembles that of an omnivore, not carnivore or herbivore. (Humans happen to be a species of omnivores, our digestive system happens to resembles that of an omnivores… an amazing coincidence) Based solely on our digestive system we should be eating a healthy diet consisting of both plants and animals, saying our digestive system looks more like that of a herbivore than carnivore doesn’t mean a damn thing.

1. You typed an abbreviation, lol, as if you were saying it out loud, thus creating an onomatopoeia/abbreviation combo. Congratulations you're now the sweetest person in the world.
2. Who are you, my english teacher?
3. Yes, a lot of young children do things for attention, especially girls, who like to become vegetarians for no reason, just for attention. Hormones make people do some stupid shit, idiot.
4. Youre being ignorant by calling me ignorant, henceforth becoming a hypocritical turd encrusted salad
The only reasons someone should become a vegetarian are spiritual or medical. If you do it only because you think killing is bad, NEWSFLASH, FISH AND PLANTS ARE LIVING THINGS TOO. And, being a vegetarian = killing more plants, which means less plants are living and producing oxygen, while more cows are living producing more methane which = DOUBLE DOUBLE NEGATIVE not only for you, who is now not receiving necessary nutrients you get from meat, but youre also damaging the environment and everyone around you. As for the whole carnivore/herbivore thing, Humans are meant to both, WHICH FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS IS CALLED AN OMNIVORE. Good luck being a vegetarian, make sure not to die from lacking essential nutrients, but if you didn't, i wouldn't mourn your loss, as well as the loss of any idiot who comments with things such as "LAWL" or who thinks that using the word "GAY" is politically incorrect.

If you have the right diet, meat can be plenty healthy too, just as vegetarianism can be. Eat however and whatever you want and stfu about it. When I'm sitting down to a meal, I don't give a shit about how wrong you think I am for eating what I'm eating. Just handle your own affairs and calm down with the self righteous attitude.
@Pompous Vegetarians: You're proving exactly how pompous you are by telling meat-eaters that they have no morals and all that. If you want people to leave you alone about your choices, then leave others alone about their choices. You're no better than anyone else, so go scream your murder elsewhere.
@Bitchy Carnivores: It's not against nature to be a vegetarian. It's not unhealthy if the diet is planned correctly. The fact that humans have been eating meat for centuries has no bearing on what we do now -- we have our own minds and we should be able to make choices accordingly.
@At everyone else: Pick up your bacon or your celery and toast to the fact that we are even able to argue about the morals of eating animals. Woo! Go human race! ;D

Hey, you know what's funny, you just said being a vegetarian means that more plants die, and, wow, you're stupid :) Did you know that 70% of crop growing ground is used as grazing ground to raise meat? So actually less plants die because we consume it directly instead of using what we could eat each day to feed one meal. And, most vegetarians aren't just, OMG EVERYTHING MUST LIVE, They just don't like cruely killing things that can think and feel when we can live without it. And I wouldn't consider someone who eats fish a vegetarian.

RealGirl and AnaDoll:
You are idiots. The animals eaten in meat are GROWN to be slain. That means that they would have no use to the world other than being eaten. Not only that, but many farmers only take care of livestock when the land is useless for farming.
AnaDoll: do you really think that the "vegetables" (feed, you moron) given to farm animals is the same quality as the kind that you eat? Lmao.

A lot of vegetarians will find that term offensive. They prefer the term Pescatarian. It means the same.

If you get your calcium from dairy then you're not a true vegetarian. What do you think they do with the calf that is not drinking that cow's milk? They have to kill it...helloooo. Therefore by drinking milk or eating anything made with milk you're contributing to the "abuse, torture, and murder" of animals.
PS: totally not a vegetarian here. Love me a good steak and foie gras is one of my favorite foods ever. I'm just arguing against the point that "you can get calcium from nature" and the reference to dairy providing natural calcium as an argument FOR vegetarianism. If you're going to argue for a lifestyle based on trying to save animals from death by all means go for it. Just try not to be a hypocrite about it.

A) woo hoo! you can go to the grocery store and buy meat, that must've been hard work. B) getting said meat: yay! people can just round up the cattle and slaughter them on the spot! i'm not against hunting of food when it's ACTUAL hunting as long as it isn't excessive.

but OP: sorry that your dad is a complete dickwad, and someone already commented on that going veg is FAR from being "weak minded" since the difficulty with sticking with it for long lengths of time is just that: difficult (to a degree anyways). i myself was vegan for 15 months and then downgraded to vegetarian because it just got too expensive to stay vegan. all in all i've been veg almost for 2 years now and feel great! but don't sweat the stupid people talking shit about veggies who have nothing substantial to go off of other than their own mindset. yes, i'm the only vegetarian that i know personally for the most part and i don't think any less of any of my friends or family for eating meat, that's their choice exactly how it's MY choice to not eat meat. i'm only against people who come up with shitty arguments about how going veg is stupid and shit and who claim superiority over other people just cuz they eat tortured meat. but also, if you DID go veg just for the attention, then fuck you, it's insulting to do it just for that, but i'm hoping you did it for moral and/or health reasons.

@209 - What #115 was referring to was the fact that by only eating plants, we're reducing the food supply of similarly vegetarian animals, whose main food source is (you guessed it) plants and vegetables.
It's a pretty terrible argument either way, since plants are a renewable resource (as long as we don't continue tearing up all of our most fertile farming land and replacing it with condos and malls, but that's another argument). And yes, I know that animals are also a renewable resource, but significantly less so because of the whole sex-and-procreation thing.

Being a vegetarian does not change anything. You are not saving any animals nor benefeiting anyone in any way. It's just a way for over-privileged self-righteous people such as yourself to fool themselves into thinking they're contributing. If you actually want to help, get into politics and impose laws and regulations for the humane treatment of animals. Some chickens never see the suns rays and have trouble standing due to their artificially accelerated growth. You sitting on your ass eating carrots is NOT going to change that. Maybe if we all ate carrots we'd get somewhere, but I think chickens would get on the endangered list pretty quickly if that happened. Good for you for being a vegetarian, but the meat you don't eat will just be fed to pigs and then that pig will be fed to me as bacon. It's a sad reality but it's our reality. Just ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

what exactly was your reason for this at 11?
did you think eating dead animals was yucky?
or did your mom say you couldn't have dessert unless you finished your meatloaf, and you didn't want to, so you became a vegetarian?
whatever the reason, I'm sure it was well thought out and extremely rational, as most 11 year olds are completely capable of making complicated life choices.

@143, Hey, man, don't be so assumptive.
When I was about 11 I decided to try out vegetarianism, not because I didn't like meat, but because I saw a video of a cow being slaughtered for steak on youtube and it affected me very strongly. I didn't eat meat for almost two years after that.
I've since abandoned it because of my love of hot dogs and chicken nuggets, but I still do try to eat only free-range or organic meat to this day.

Vegetarians are awsome and anybody who says they're pussys or anything like that are pathetic idiots!

If there's an alternative that works just as well, and s/he's comfortable with it, then it seems fine to me. With chemicals, steroids, growth hormones and questions over treatment of animals, it's not really surprising that someone would choose to go veggie or mostly veggie. There are different types of vegetarianism, and s/he didn't specify. I'll assume they mean no actual muscle meat.

Actually, if you look at the human digestive system, you'll see that it more closely resembles an herbivore than a carnivore, or a true omnivore. Our systems make it so that we can live eating meat because food was often sparse, and we needed to eat whatever we could. Then again, you can also eat small amounts of poison without dying, and in many cases without even getting sick. That doesn't mean you *should* or that it's healthy for you.

I severely doubt the validity of your statement that our digestive systems are similar to herbivores. We completely lack the digestive enzymes necessary to break down most plant fibers. Meat, on the other hand, doesn't have that issue.

I don't think you deserve it, but unless it's for health (as in life-threatening) or religious reasons, I think vegetarianism is silly. It's unnatural, which in turn is unhealthy. Vegetarians have to take all kinds of supplements to maintain a truly healthy diet.

That's always confused me. A pussy is a coward/wimp/vagina/cat. And a vegetarian is none of those... so how can anyone call a vegetarian a pussy?

#76 a vegetarian is coward who refuses to eat meat, hence why people call them pussies. I for one am not one of these people but I understand the reasoning behind it.

I don't see the correlation between being a coward and not eating meat. Could you clairfy that for me?

Seriously, would you call a person who refused to eat vegetables a pussy?
Come on, it's not like it's affecting anyone else's life if this person doesn't want to eat meat. To all the dickwads saying it's cowardly not to eat an animal, shove off.

since the dawn of mankind, men have eaten meat. eating meat is a sign of manliness. that is what men do. that is why men have barbecues and cookouts and such. to celebrate our manliness.
if you want to be more like a woman, then you can become a vegetarian to "save the animals."

Yeah because it's really manly to categorize yourself. And, of course, really noble of you to allow animals to live miserable lives so that you can fit into that category. Good job.

No they don't need supplements. They just need to eat a balanced diet to get everything that meat can give.

Where the hell do you get your information? Vegetarianism is NOT unhealthy, and it not necessary for most to take vitamins if they are eating a balanced diet. Plenty of meat-eaters have to take vitamins bc they aren't getting everything they need either.
