Omg the paleo diet situation is so hilarious, haha. There's a great TED Talk on it, actually: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Debunkin… I find it's useful if I come across someone who thinks that eating three steaks a day is what the cavemen did.

Omg, yes! I legitimately don't understand why it's "cool" to say you don't care about the fact thatbillions of animals, all of which have just as much of a capacity for suffering as humans do, are mistreated, mutilated, and dismembered every single year. It also seems very popular to assert that, if you think that…
It always kind of irks me when people dismiss the idea that animals matter in some of the ways that people matter. Saying that animals are also important doesn't make people less important. And a lot of scholarly thought has been devoted to this issue, so drawing comparisons between animal rights issues and civil…
Perfect. If you haven't already, you should read Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation"—a lot of your points are discussed in that piece. :)
Make it stop!
I worked for about a year at a deaf call center (we would place calls for deaf and speech impaired people, typing what hearing people said to them and reading what they typed on their tty machines to the hearing people). For the most part it was fine, boring with a few prank calls thrown in. And then there was the…

Looks like her skinny jeans got a bit too skinny and she's trying to grease herself up to squeeze into those puppies.
Not sure what you mean by escalating—you yourself said vegetarians made you "irate," lol. I just think that much of the reasoning behind why we eat animals is inherently flawed, and people are invested in denying this because they don't want to feel guilty, or to consider their food choices to be ethical choices…
Lol. Your argument is one of the most common (and ridiculous) arguments that vegetarians get. Do we really want to model our behavior after what animals do? Some animals eat their own young and fling their poo. When's the last time a pedophile argued in court, "But monkeys do it!"? In pretty much every other aspect of…
I would pay all the dollars to see my grandma get high.
Right? Plus, I feel like I'd hate that dress on anyone else, but on her...damn!
Haha. Ok, well, it's actually super super easy to get protein as a vegan or vegetarian. There are tons of vegetables, legumes, nuts, etc that have lots of protein in them. And you don't have to stop eating meat altogether to impact the environment—even just having a meatless meal a couple times a week helps. You…
Wow. Well, I guess at least you admit it. I personally think it's sort of morally reprehensible to put something like the enjoyment of a meal over taking a life (not to mention forcing the life that's taken to be a miserable one, at that). And it's flawed reasoning anyway, because what makes you think vegans don't…
Why do people always think raising the value of animal life somehow lowers the value of human life? Also, preserve life? We're not talking about a life and death situation here. Most people are not going to die if they don't get to eat bacon cheese burgers every day. There are plenty of less harmful options that offer…
Ok Dwight Schrute, lol. While that's definitely better than the current factory farming situation, and much less hypocritical than people who cringe at this story but go out and buy a bacon burger right after, I still think it's pretty disgusting.
To quote a rando I found on the internet: "Look upon the horrors you create."
Yeah, it's really dramatic wording, but it SUPER resonated with me when I was stoned and internet surfing, lol.
