As for your observation, I don't recall disclosing anything this morning, I know nothing. Perhaps you have me confused with another taco?

As for accusations - didn't accuse you of anything, merely asked if you were looking for someone to argue with? Some people get off on that.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76130010 What about the insects destroyed in the farming of your vegetables? I think ultimately I chose the lesser evil. I don't want anything to suffer for my momentary satiation. We as humans all too easily desensitize ourselves to the reality of what we actually do. I myself love animal souls, I could never violently kill an animal and then proceed to eat it, this is repugnant to me. As a small child I was aware of how truly vicious this was. Everyone does not have to share in my views, but the facts are there no matter how you spin it. We have choices to be aware or live with major blinders. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76130010 What about the insects destroyed in the farming of your vegetables? Seems there are many people now who are having problems eating any kind of processed food on a regular basis. Lately, seems the only natural tasting things to be are berries, nuts, fruits, and the teas and smoothies I drink. Used to like eating the only veg/vegan ramen (Top Ramen - oriental flavour, now renamed Soy Sauce flavour or something like that) out there every once in awhile when I knew I needed to eat, but didn't feel like cooking. The last time I made it a couple of weeks ago, it just tasted like salt on noodles and I never even use half of the seasoning package, maybe a 1/4. Have read several threads on GLP where people are saying food isn't tasting right to them either. Usually only eat one meal and a maybe a snack and that's been reduced to consuming a snack of nuts or fruit maybe and sometimes nothing but liquids. Would think I'd be skin and bones and passing out because of it, but I'm healthier and stronger and gaining muscle easily. When I go back to eating a regular veg/vegan meal, that's when I start feeling dizzy, but when grazing on nuts, berries, fruit, drinking tea, water, soymilk, ricemilk, and smoothies (sometimes adding nuts butter and protein powder) I feel great, this has been going on for about 3 months now. So, something seems to be going on with a lot of people not being able to eat regular type meals, always been a grazer when living on my own, but this is even beyond that .... and so many people seem to be experiencing the same, it's interesting. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76380461 Czechia 03/20/2018 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is. Innocent life is not created to be taken. Evil consciousness attempts to convince otherwise, but it is not of divine origin - words to that effect are lies. Normal humans are not born with the feeling to kill other life forms. There are allusions to this truth in some religious texts, but it is hidden beneath so much man-made and psychopathic inserted dogma. Do think though that God pointed out a way for primitive humans to kill an animal in the least painful manner, but this was only meant to be a stop-gap measure, not a permanent thing. It was an attempt to get them on the right path forward, but psychopaths used these things as a means of manipulation and control to maintain power over others by keeping them trapped in lowered consciousness, so they can keep them enslaved and keep them from knowing who / what they are and of what they are capable. such great heights await. |

You sound very passive aggressive and so on that note maybe we should just stop talking to each other. again, i didn't accuse, i asked. i'm being open and direct, not passive aggressive in the least. if you say it wasn't you, then there it is. so, i guess that's why you weren't banned, but others were who didn't make statements asserting anything, but due to asking questions. you don't know me, but i'm not passive nor aggressive (unless under attack and in defensive mode), i am direct and honest as i feel that is the best approach. the only time i would withhold information is when it is being withheld from me and i don't see a reason for it / don't understand why....and that is not passive aggressive behavior, that's waiting for more information / open and honest discussion before initiating a discussion or disclosing what you know. it's the best way to avoid confusion or false accusations, i think anyway. if you know of a better way, please let me know. always open to learning. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 75014011 United States 03/20/2018 06:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The vegetarian whose diet is a result of poor ego... they want other people to see them as a concerned citizen, a defender of animal rights! To attain the goodguy badge is easy... they become a vegetarian. This is concealed selfishness in action. Even the untermensch in question doesn't know why they want to be seen as a moral, good person through this method. Of course, it would be much better if they campaigned against unethical food production, but that would take too much effort. Also, it would be better for them to buy meats from ethical sources (say, free range farms, etc), and therefore support the conversion of the meat industry from factory-methods to free-range-methods. But that would require research! No, the person who cannot be bothered to campaign and cannot be bothered to research can obtain a goodguy badge by merely becoming a vegetarian and doing little else. It works, because it is hard for an outsider to question their motives. And they come to believe their own lie!" I don't care for most vegetarians but to have Satanists be against them.......lol. |
