It's always the whackos that ruin it for the rest of us


Why are there always some crazy people out there that make the rest of us vegetarians look insane? (I mean really, you can insert anything in there instead of "vegetarians". It applies to crazy Mormons, crazy women, etc. There are always nut jobs making the rest of us sane people look bad.) People don't remember the normal vegetarians, no, they remember the ones that splatter themselves in red paint and act like murder victims, showing that "meat is murder". Or the ones who splash fur coats with paint. Or any of the other crazy things you've heard about nutty PETA people doing.
Today my husband shared with me a comment he read on Facebook, underneath one of those shared sayings, about how there is no reason to eat meat. Well, said whacko commenter basically said that eating meat is as bad as being a pedophile or raping a woman because you are harming and torturing the innocent. That's right, if you eat meat, you're as bad as a pedophile AND rapist. Were you even aware of your serious evil horrible crime the last time you picked up a hamburger? You foul demon from the pit of Hades! Put that steak down, pervert!
Honestly, I am offended. Seriously offended. Not because you eat meat, but because some idiot compared eating meat to rape and pedophilia. Are you completely off your rocker, dude? What on earth are you thinking?!!! Have you ever talked to a rape victim or seen the long lasting damaging effects towards a child who was molested. And eating meat is as bad as that? Do you live under a rock?! Did you just get released from the mental hospital because your morals are super-duper whacked!!!!
Not to mention the fact that I, as a woman, who is of the gender that most likely are victims are rape, do not like being compared to a cow, chicken, or pig. Isn't that in direct contradiction to feminism and aren't all crazy veg heads feminists? Perhaps our fellow commenter didn't think that one through. Personally, I like to think that I am a tad more capable than a COW. I am not a defenseless as Bessie and, please, do not ever tell me I am if you want to keep your body in one piece.
Thank you, completely insane wharped veggie dude for making the rest of us vegetarians look like whack jobs. As if people don't already think we are insane for skipping out on roast.
