Then I apologize for assuming incorrectly.

But I still stand by the fact that vegetarianism/veganism is a form of hypocrisy. No matter which way you string it, there is still harm being done to animal/plant life whenever you go into any form of commercial production. (Your tofu container isn't made from 100% recycled plastic, is it?"

You take ecstacy, right?

Do you think that the chemicals used in its synthesis (things like formaldehyde, dichloromethane and mercury salts) are disposed of in an environmentally safe way?

How can you not take this damage to the environment into account when the subject at hand is your drug use, but when it comes down to eating anything but pills, suddenly you care about whether or not it has "feelings"

I wonder what you were on when you first came up with this concept of a "circle of compassion"

God, this guy is so right.

I was looking over a menu in a restaurant the other day when I saw a section for vegetarians; I thought to myself "boy, I sure am glad that I'm not a meat-hating fascist" and I skipped on to the steak section (because I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $15 for an alfalfa sandwich, slice of cucumber and a scoop of cold cottage cheese), but before I turned the page something caught my eye. The heading of the vegetarian section was titled "Guiltless Grill," not because there were menu items with fewer calories and cholesterol (since there were "healthy" chicken dishes discriminated against in this section), but because none of the items used animal products. Think about that phrase for a second. What exactly does "guiltless grill" imply? So I'm supposed to feel guilty now if I eat meat? Screw you.

What pisses me off so much about this phrase is the sheer narrow-mindedness of these stuck up vegetarian assholes. You think you're saving the world by eating a tofu-burger and sticking to a diet of grains and berries? Well here's something that not many vegetarians know (or care to acknowledge): every year millions of animals are killed by wheat and soy bean combines during harvesting season (source). Oh yeah, go on and on for hours about how all of us meat eaters are going to hell for having a steak, but conveniently ignore the fact that each year millions of mice, rabbits, snakes, skunks, possums, squirrels, gophers and rats are ruthlessly murdered as a direct result of YOUR dieting habits. What's that? I'm sorry, I don't hear any more elitist banter from you pompous cocks. Could it be because your shit has been RUINED?

That's right: the gloves have come off. The vegetarian response to this embarrassing fact is "well, at least we're not killing intentionally." So let me get this straight; not only are animals ruthlessly being murdered as a direct result of your diet, but you're not even using the meat of the animals YOU kill? At least we're eating the animals we kill (and although we also contribute to the slaughter of animals during grain harvesting, keep in mind that we're not the ones with a moral qualm about it), not just leaving them to rot in a field somewhere. That makes you just as morally repugnant than any meat-eater any day. Not only that, but you're killing free-roaming animals, not animals that were raised for feed. Their bodies get mangled in the combine's machinery, bones crushed, and you have the audacity to point fingers at the meat industry for humanely punching a spike through a cow's neck? If you think that tofu burgers come at no cost to animals or the environment, guess again.

To even suggest that your meal is some how "guiltless" is absurd. The defense "at least we're not killing intentionally" is bullshit anyway. How is it not intentional if you KNOW that millions of animals die every year in combines during harvest? You expect me to believe that you somehow unintentionally pay money to buy products that support farmers that use combines to harvest their fields? Even if it was somehow unintentional, so what? That suddenly makes you innocent? I guess we should let drunk drivers off the hook too since they don't kill intentionally either, right? There's no way out of this one. The only option left for you dipshits is to buy some land, plant and pick your own crops. Impractical? Yeah, well, so is your stupid diet.

Even if combines aren't used to harvest your food, you think that buying fruits and vegetables (organic or otherwise) is any better? How do you think they get rid of bugs that eat crops in large fields? You think they just put up signs and ask parasites to politely go somewhere else? Actually, I wouldn't put that suggestion past you hippies. One of the methods they use to get rid of pests is to introduce a high level of predators for each particular prey, which wreaks all sorts of havoc on the natural balance of predator/prey populations--causing who knows what kind of damage to the environment. Oops, did I just expose you moral-elitists for being frauds? Damndest thing.

A number of people have pointed out that the amount of grain grown to feed animals for slaughter every year is greater than the amount of grain grown for humans. So I guess the amount of grain grown for human consumption suddenly becomes negligible and we can conveniently ignore the fact that animals are still ruthlessly murdered either way because of your diet, right? Not to mention that the majority of grain grown for livestock is tough as rocks, coarse, and so low-grade that it's only fit for animal consumption in the first place. Spare me the "you could feed 500 people with the grain used to feed one cow" line of shit; it's not the same grain. Then there are the people who jump on the bandwagon with "you could plant billions of potatoes on the land used for cows"--good point, except for the fact that not every plot of land is equally fertile; you think farmers always have a choice on what they do with their land? Also, many vegetarians don't know (or care to acknowledge) that in many parts of the United States they have "control hunts" in which hunting permits are passed out whenever there is a pest problem (the pest here is deer, elk and antelope) that threatens wheat, soy, vegetable and other crops; this happens several times per year. Then some of you throw out claims that "we are trying to limit the suffering." How about you limit MY suffering and shut the hell up about your stupid diet for a change; nobody cares. Even if the number of animals that die in combine deaths every year isn't in the millions, even if it's just one, are you suggesting that the life of one baby rabbit isn't worth saving? Are you placing a value on life? Enjoy your tofu, murderers.


BTW, I'm sorry for the gigantic brick of text.

QFT

no insurance?

WHAT?! Your studio burnt down? What about the gear, the lights, the mixer?

Wise words indeed.

nope.

You fail at being last.

Capoli's is fucking good, and so is Momesso's if you're south of the tracks. I used to eat there min two times a week when I went to school in the area.

Huh, I always thought the stork droppped them off on the corner of Laurier and St Laurent.

Wicked, Sam's bringing beer. Do you have a preference?

I'm partaking right now.

Ummm, Hugo's my roommate.

badump bump pshhhhh

Oh, i tried calling boustan, and they don't pick up their phone. There's only some message about how they aren't open on Sundays.

But their shawarma is to die for.

that last one kinda reminds me of a blow-up doll.....

Who was it that said: "It is better to be silent and to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."?

flour, roast dippings, water, spices.

But they prolly use some powdered stuff they mix with water.

KK, the manager called back and smoothed things over.

My mussel is on ice now.

Of course, I'm sure the only thing that driver is paying attention to is the 6 year old sitting with her mother next to him. He's definitely not, you know, watching the road.

Why would anyone complain about that? Sounds like the dude needs to get laid.

I'll keep that in mind for next time.

The coming of a fine meal calls for a fine joint. mmmmmmm.

KK, it's now over an hour and I still don't have my eats. I call the restaurant back, and there's some clueless fucktard on the other end telling me that I called the wrong number to place an order, even though someone took my order over an hour ago at that same number.

And to top it off they're closing.

It sucks because I've never eaten from this restaurant, and was super-stoked to try it. But now because of one idiot, I never will. On principle alone, they have lost my business. I don't tolerate second rate customer service.

Actually, the stm did improve service over 2008. I used to wait 9-12min for a metro on the green line, now it's more 5-8 outside of rush hour. During rush hour, there's a metro every 3 min. I certainly can't complain about that.

The bus is a different story though. Now THAT's the popster child for crappy service. Unless you get the bus driver with the hat or the singing bus driver.

Oh I will. I never thought I would feel so anxious about a estranged chinese man coming to my door.

OK so I just ordered from wok cafe. I read some pretty stellar reviews of their General Tao chicken.

Shit, I just saw your post Vinny. No problemo. Where are you situated?

I know, all I wanted was a fucking hat and a fucking song. And booze in my gigantic margarita.

They charged me for the tequila, but I didn't taste any, and I know what tequila tastes like. Both going down and coming up.

They should rename the place the 3 Assholes.

I don't eat at 3 amigos ever since they gave me absolute shit service on the night of my 18th birthday. Asian food is not a bad idea though. Does wok cafe have noodles?

Atwater/Ste Catherine. I wonder if Pita Pit would deliver all the way here....

I'm hungry, I don't want to go outside and I'm suffering from a lack of inspiration.

Help.

Happy Birthday!

Dicks aside, my vote goes for Toltech.

Oh so this is just some random "My penis is longer than yours" argument.

Thanks for the fyi,

I'll be sure not to pay any attention to your exchanges from now on.

(btw, just because you have the longest wall of text, doesn't mean you have the longest dick... just thought I'd mention that) ;-)

outrageously huge wall of internet text. nobody has the time to read all that.

summary please.

Does anyone know where you can find Santo Domingo coffee in montreal? I had that in the Dominican Republic brought like 4lbs back, and there's none left. Ever since then, other stuff just doen't quite cut it.

w00t 6-1 XD

dude, it's the onion. ie. the biggest joke news site on the web.

House of the Dead 2&3, Okami, NFS Prostreet, Manhunt 2 & Metroid Prime 3.

Just don't get anything made by Ubisoft, their quality control is total shit for the wii, and all their games are full of glithes/bugs.

HA! LOL!

Fedex are fucking morons.

They just left a package that my office shipped out at the front door. On new year's eve. It's gonna be four days before anyone knows it's there, if it's still there at all.
