That's a lot of stereotypes rolled into one, there. First of all, I'm a moderate capitalist business owner (small business, not a big CEO or anything) and a vegetarian. I do not go around wearing hemp or trying to balance my four psychic winds or whatever. I do try to avoid leather products, though if accepting a gift is likely to cause outrage or offense, I'll still take it. I prefer cotton, but am sometimes guilty of wearing wool. Cotton mittens make better rags than hand-warmers, for example.

I've also met hippies who are rabid carnivores. They'll tell you that eating meat that's as fresh as possible helps them connect to the spirit of the Earth or something.

One thing I can say for sure is that when you get loaded words like you're using, like "tree-hugging vegans," logic has stopped and cheap rhetoric has begun. And that's weak.

What's weak is the fact that La Ban has not answered any intelligent question that was put to him.

Does he believe this batshit crazy nonsense?

• Silk Production Causes Painful Death for Insects

It of course appears that he does, but he doesn't answer questions.

Why do vegetarians have to be so overbearing and obnoxious?

Honestly, they're as bad as fucking Christians.

Rofl!

What about the people who just eat fish?

Aractacus. I don't have any carpets.

Anyway as I said I have no issue with synthetic fibres -I am not a green fanatic.

You believe batshit crazy nonsense its called christianity. Do silkworms suffer? I don't know for sure but I'll err on the safe side. No doubt you will claim I didn't answer this one either.

He is a Christian ipos facto there is no logic

So you don't like the idea of killing insects.



So how do you justify harvesting vegetables and killing plants then?

Walk into the woods and explain that to the critters.
