Ahahahahahaha.
In case I was too subtle, it was all a joke to yank Rose's chain and I'm surprised even Sage jumped aboard.
Haha, oh wow.
EDIT: Just read 'but occasionally I see something on the scale of Cerion which I would frame if I could.' XD I'm contemplating sigging it if it wasn't because I think Vad wouldn't let me use his sig next to it.

I did think you were joking at first, but like I said, there's pretty much no way to tell who's joking and who's not when it comes to that topic. Vegetarianism's like religion in that it's a guaranteed topic for bringing crazy bigots out of the woodwork.

Haha. I see all the benefits of vegetarianism, but in truth I really just like steaks and meat in general. I like veggies and fruit as well, but not enough to replace it. I like the entire thing together, pref. with some sauce.

I don't actually believe half the crap people say about it, ie it automatically makes you super healthy. I'm a great example of how you can be a vegetarian and still be unhealthy as shit.

Of course, not like much candy is made out of meat. Although I was more referring to the general benefits of vegetarianism to the planet. Any lifestyle can be unhealthy - you just have to try hard enough!

Hate my sister came to my apartment and woke me up at eight am, she managed to get into the gate that people usually depart from when some guy was leaving out lol.
Like that I woke up in time to obtain breakfast from Mcdonalds, something I haven't had in several years. Wish I would have gotten a cup of coffee.

Nah, I'm cool with you, because you're not like "zomg you'll live longer, you'll be a better person" etc, etc. Especially when none of those things are actually true.
The reason your average joe hates vegetarians in general is because your average vegetarian is a smug, self-righteous piece of shit. Seriously, I can count on one hand the ones I've met who didn't try to indoctrinate me. It's kind of like when hybrids were a new big thing. You remember that South Park episode about the 'smug' clouds over San Francisco? Yeah, exactly like that.

In my experience, that's largely a massive stereotype (speaking as someone who went veggie only a few years ago). It's like how religious people get stereotyped, because the ones you hear about are always the loudest, and the loudest are always the morons. You've probably met a bunch of vegetarians without knowing it, just they're the ones who don't mention it at every available opportunity.
Until shortly before becoming veggie, though, I also held the same stereotypes so I can't really blame people for it. Penance is a bitch.

lol, fair enough.
You're probably right, in that most just don't say anything about it. I suppose I should have said 'of all the ones I've met who've told me they were vegetarian' or something like that. And you're absolutely right. Dumb people are loud.
My bad.

I've known a few vegetarians, and really, they didn't match the stereotypes so much, so I don't know how true it is. They were all down to earth about it, and aside from offering to have me try some of their alternative foods none of them ever really tried to convince me their way was better, which is more than I can say for religion.
Also, so I'm not totally irrelevant,

Y'know, I don't get the Protomen.
I mean, they're good. They're talented? But like... who cares.
It sounds like their music was written by a machine. It's just so... empty.

Me English 102 teacher was a Chinese woman named Rong Lin. I thought that was bullshit, but she remains like the best teacher I've had since I started college.

I had an English teacher named Dzeni Redzepovic.
That was interesting.

My grandfather had a doctor at one point that was in every real sense named "Buster Highman"
EDIT: Or something close to it on the last spelling.
