I met a guy who was from another place in Europe.
I thought that he was so understanding and I really liked him.
He was an atheist and he is into science, which made me think "hmm this guy must be rational"..nope..
Well, like I've said in one of my posts, just because one person has a somewhat rational philosophy, doen't mean they are rational full circle (well, when it's all boiled down, no one is rational 100%), that would be an invalid inference. Some people think that since they are "rational" in a certain area, and they have they ability to be arrogant and trick themselves into thinking that most, if not every philosophy they have is rational. Just saying.

He then said "So I hope u're not a vegetarian/vegan"...And I just got SO disappointed..-_-
Well having a distaste for religious folk just because an infinitesimally small minority go out and preach it in the streets is, well, for lack of a better and non-redundant word, retarded. And applying that to other people is just illogical. And after hearing that nonsense that he spouted, (that nonsense being "So I hope u're not a vegetarian/vegan") must've been a huge kick in the balls (the opposite applies to you if ya' know what I'm sayin
) And you've had every right to be dissapointed. Well, it's always the person you'd least expect..

Yeah you can't reason or even begin to understand
those type of people. Like I said, it was stupid of him to compare veganism to religion due to one small similarity they had that had little to nothing to do with the philosphy itself. Now thinking about it, it's an arbitrary reason to hate someone due to stuff like that. And you're 100% right about the meat and christianity statement, or at least what I interpreted from it. Some people are so delusional that they can't see the error in their actions, let alone see how similar it is to the one's they despise so much.
sanna143 wrote:He also said "real men eat meat"...I just thought..."Real men" are Rational..real men don't just close their eyes to the truth. That's stupid.
Because that makes them similar to religious people, who just close their eyes/minds and refuse to look another way.
Well we all have our own interpretations of the claim " real man" but from the looks of it society claims it is a male who shows dominance and courage and gets the most females of the pack. Imagine if society came up with a "real woman" definition. Pretty sure "making husband/male significant other sandwiches, watching offspring, and cleaning the house would be in there. But that's just me. Society is stupid enough on it's own, so it's best not to give it ideas. And yes, a good amount of meat-eaters deny the evidence, which obviously shows how in the wrong they are. They just don't feel like changing their life-style, like global warming deniers, or FOX news to be blunt.
Well I know it sucks to see the real person in someone, but I'm pretty sure you'll find a guy like 600% better than the guy you met. You still have what like 70 years to find one? I'm pretty sure someone will have more in common with you and is
more welcoming to opposing viewpoints.
Eating out of dumpsters!?
I thought I'd heard all of the idiotic jokes/stereotypes about vegans, but I've never heard this one.
