People for the Extremist Terrorism of...I got nothing for A
Incidentally I had a run-in with a PETA supporter (or member, didn't bother to talk to her) today. Had to pick up some things at the mall, and for lunch grabbed a hamburger from the food court's Coney Island. So this PETA hippy bitch walks up to me and starts lambasting me for feeding on suffering, and a bunch of other nonsense.
My reaction? Turned my head, looked her in the eye, and took another bite of my hamburger.
She stormed off. Man, PETA hippies... so ridiculous. She might've picked me specifically out to bitch at because I was wearing my Army t-shirt.

I had a similar encounter, and I posted it earlier in the thread, so I definitely feel for you.
These guys, for all their Godwinning...they send people around to speak at schools, basically brainwash kids, tell em to vandalize property, disrupt public order...

Not "mmm, suffering"?
@Mark: Was she hot?
For some reason I'm subscribed to the PETA e-newsletter? I don't know how that happened.
I see the Awesomeness.
I found my simple taking of another bite to be more badass a response. It was zen.
And Kino: No. Not at all. We're talking full-on "thar she blows! The great white whale!" here.

Dead? You thought wrong
I wonder if that lady does that to every meat eating person she sees?
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
Who knows? Like I said, I think she target me because I was both eating meat and wearing my Army shirt.
With how they say Vegan diets are so, so healthy, that is just plain funny.
Huh. You don't normally see people getting fat on vegan diets, do you?
^Oy. A ninja.

Be not afraid...

Makes sense.
I bet some PETA members are as crazy as the ones from the Westboro Baptist Church.

I actually encountered one today. When I picked up some chicken from the deli, she ran after me, well, more like waddled. She accused me of supporting murder and torture, and I ignored her, and walked out, and when she went up next to me, I noisily started eating my chicken. She shouted some innovative Godwins at me, and ran off.
Maybe they think they can eat as much as they want as long as they eat Vegan. What An Idiot.
@Loni: Actually, it depends on body chemistry and diet. For example, avacados are fattier than most meat products.

Huh. I did not know that. But then again I guess I was thinking 'vegan diet = lots of grains, pulses and vegetables' when it could just as easily mean 'fruit and chocolate biscuits and not much else'.
Be not afraid...
Yeah, if it's done badly, vegan diets can be worse for you than regular eating habits. Most fruits have horrible amounts of sugar, an excess of carbohydrates is bad for you, too much fiber can move things through your digestive system before nutrients can be absorbed, certain fruits and vegetables have high fat content, and so on.
It takes a lot of research to put together a diet that is good for you, and it doesn't work for everyone * .

Avatars may be subject to change without notice.
Most PETA members are liberal zealots.
Avatars may be subject to change without notice.
I could be seen as "liberal" or "conservative" depending on which opinions of mine are being referred to. (Though I am slightly closer to the former.)
Frankly, I think it's absurd that such words are used to associate uncountably many separate opinions with each other at the same time. At least one's views on meat-eating and on the army are two specific issues, making discussions on what correlates them more interesting.

or maybe she just hates the military, and people who eat meat.
Well, to a lot of animal rights activists, eating meat = murder, and to a lot of people in general the army = murder. It's not too hard to see how people can combine the two.

@DG: Shit, should I tell them about our War on Dolphins? Fuckin aquatic Al-Queda.
Hmmm.
If it stood for 'Prescribe Euthanasia for Tiresome Arseholes' I'd support them, but they'd all be dead...
