Vegetarians are so silly. You aren't saving the rainforest or the planet by being a vegetarian. You are just living a normal life wiithout eating meat. If you want to do those things, you need to go out and actually be an enviromental activist and mostly likely travel to the rainforest and help directly. This is just slacktavism to feel good about yourself. Not eating meat doesn't do shit. Meat is produced on factory farms in the US that has nothing to do with the rainforest and the enviromental impact is much less then say, driving a car. It's just a lazy way to feel superior to others.

I agree and disagree. Being a vegetarian in most cases is a personal choices about your own morals and has nothing to do with saving the rainforest.

If there is one thing I can say after being a vegetarian atheist for 8 years now, it's that the meat eater is almost as offended by the mere existence of vegetarians as the believer is offended by the mere existence of atheists.
When confronted with one, they lose the ability to brain and are reduced to slobbering trolls who need to taunt, tease and straw-man until they feel sufficiently reassured of their lifestyle.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

If there's one thing I can say as an observer, is that both sides seem to be equally offended by each other and I think it's weird.

Likewise, plenty of vegetarians are offended by meat eaters, and plenty of atheists are offended by believers. It goes both ways.
Personally I'm a meat eater and I actually highly admire vegetarians. I also am not the least bit bothered by the existence of atheists.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yes. And I think it's weird too.
