”However much Anti-Vegans try to discredit, mock, and trivialize veganism, their criticisms remain unreasonable and cannot touch the Truth of what this lifestyle is all about: compassion. But they will continue to try, and in doing so reveal their own fears and exaggerations rather than some inherent flaw they’re hoping to uncover in a philosophy that at its...

Why a lot of vegans are so angry all the time. We:
deathbysharpie:
Draw conclusions based on both logic and compassion
Ween ourselves off of animal products (which are in fucking everything)
Form new comfort foods and traditions
Defy the actions and beliefs of our very own family, peers, strangers, etc.
Ignore the anthropocentric bullshit that is omnivorism
Try to maintain a healthy and balanced vegan diet
Read lots of information on how...

Christmas talks with my vegetarian sister
Sister: (on the phone) I found a coat for Mom, but it's wool, but it's really cute, and all the coats that aren't wool are ugly.
Me: Well, I'm not going to tell you to buy wool. I mean, you shouldn't have asked the vegan.
Sister: Well, this isn't about you. Just pretend your Mom for two seconds.
Me: ... I don't know Nicki. Do you want me to ask her if she would buy wool?
Sister: Yes, just ask her if she would wear something that had wool in it.
Me: (to Mom in the other room) Hypothetically, would you buy something that was made of wool?
Mom: No. I try not to buy anything that has any animal product in it.
Sister: Ok, well I don't know what to do then, I can't find anything.
Mom: Even if something is cute, if it has wool I won't buy it.
Me: (to sister) You could try another store, or look online. I've seen nice stuff online.
(It's just irritating that she comes to me with questions like that. No, I don't think you should buy it, and honestly I don't think you should have asked me at all. You should have chosen on your own not to buy it. And it's not a matter of putting myself in someone else's shoes! So don't ask me to pretend that I'm not vegan, not even for two seconds.)

This whole vegan phenomenon is a first world problem. Some vegans actually understand this. The more militant “holier than thou” sect? Not so much.
In my experience most vegans I’ve encountered are extreme misanthropes who look down on humanity for certain perceived injustices towards other…
Lolz, youre fucking pathetic. Its amazing how uncaring and...

A quote I just read in the john from the August Marie Claire. It made me think of Herman Cain and why he should never have run in the first place.
