I don't think this is a good idea...some may have opinions that would offend others. Don't want a riot started.

Yes, and I don't think this post belongs in the games section anyway.

I'm sorry, but did someone call for me? ...

Oh "V-E-G-A-N", I thought you said "V-U-L-C-A-N".

Sorry, my bad. Carry on and, erm, *cough* ... "Live long and prosper."

well sometimes a little debate can be a form of thearpy. you know, ''venting''. i find that sometimes when i vent it actully takes a little tension off of me. but you half to direct you venting propully. sometimes you just got to say what's on your mind and not let it eat away at your soul

sorry for putting this in the game's section, just thought it would be intresting to hear both sides of the table, is all

I'm vegan. I'm wondering what your point is? And why you would post this thread in Games?

I am intelligent enough to realize what a little debate is, however, your post does not seem to have a point to it nor does it inspire debate.........
What is it that you want to debate on....I am game....

well, obviously, the first word that comes to mind is "vegetable diet".

I definitely agree with Lexi......when in the hospital, but vegan diet always gets much better food than the normal diet......always go vegan when I land in the hospital if not on IV nutrition.

I'm not loving the pics at all. I think it's pretty sad that people feel the need to belittle causes that others hold dear, particularly on a supposed support forum.

I dare say there would be quite an outcry if there were derogatory jokes made here about other belief systems. But apparently it's fair game at Pysch Central to rip the p+ss out of vegans.

How very disappointing.

Sundog, my dear, I am not belittling anybody. If you do not like my posts feel free to place me on your ignore list. I apologize if you are vegan and feel I made fun of you.

Thank you. It's an emotional subject for me and I usually keep it to myself. I'm well used to people cracking jokes about veganism but today it got to me. Anyhow, thank you.

Uh to be honest.. "veal" is the first word that pops up into my head. A few years ago I thought vegan was the opposite of vegetarian (someone who only eats meat), so thinking meat-eater right off the bat when hearing vegan has become quite a habit.

I am sorry you are having a difficult day.

Sometimes it is hard to understand a poster's tone and meaning. For instance we have a thread here with jokes about psychiatrists. I doubt anybody intends disrespect toward their docs.

I like to joke about lots of things and most of all laugh at myself. Feel free to laugh at me too.

I've always associated vegan with anorexia and not eating much; I haven't ever met any vegan who was physically in good health, so that's why.

When I think vegan I think healthy and I wish I were one of those people and I think maybe one day I will be.
