[ QUOTE ] Yeah, this is exactly what the "vegetarian community as a whole" is like. Dude, c'mon. Mostly the people who adopt a holier than though attitude are "fashionable" vegetarians.

[/ QUOTE ] So it's impossible for humans to make personal ethical decisions without that reflecting somehow on the people around them? Obviously most vegetarians don't eat meat for moral reasons. How this automatically makes someone holier than thou is BEYOND ridiculous. I have lots of Catholic friends. I'm an atheist. We get along just fine, despite our spiritual differences.

Re: Any Vegetarians here?
memento, Max, whoever else,
Note that I'm not saying you personally are smug or have a holier-than-thou attitude, nor am I saying all or even most vegetarians do. Sure it's a minority, but there is a very real segment of the vegetarian community that is definitely smug and holier-than-thou about the whole thing. They're vocal and, however unfair it may be, they have created a certain popular image of you and your fellow vegetarians. Also, thanks for the "close minded douche" comment.

Re: Any Vegetarians here?
I just grabbed a portabello mushroom panini at panera. The first half was ok, but I felt a little full/sick after starting on the second.
One good thing is they have free wi-fi. The [censored] block 2p2 and gambling sites, but I was able to log onto FTP no problem. I ended up dropping another bi at 200NL to put me down 3 bi's for the day after getting annihilated over the weekend at 400NL..life really sucks [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] You asked them why they are vegetarians and they told you, calling that holier than thou is a bit of a stretch. I drink and take drugs. I am neither proud nor ashamed of this, much like I feel about being a vegetarian. If a person chooses not to take drugs or drink I don't make it a point to make them feel stupid or tell them that they are wrong.

Re: Any Vegetarians here?
I have friends that don't eat meat,
but I don't trust them. Seriously, when I moved to Reno I had been a vegetarian for about 2 years. After my second or third hospital staff dinner where they served me one piece of zucchini and a couple raw carrots I gave it up. Plus, a steak sounded real good.
