Just when you thought Vegans couldn't get any sillier....[views:5425][posts:54]_________________________________ [Aug 2,2007 1:16am - timjohn ""] lol @ this thread |

But, then, there was a point when I actually had a job, and homeless d00ds I knew (real, actual-type homebums, not squatter punks) would hook me up with free food someone else had given them, because I was poor and they were picky. ("I don't like the spinach wraps on burritos, only the tomato wraps.") |

Yep, and I liked hardline better when it was called Islam. I read the wikipedia article and some links off of it and really don't have the motivation to find out more about the adventures of some immature hardcore nerds taking a decade to go through a process of "self-discovery" and "embracing other cultures" that most idiotic college kids go through in about three semesters (sick Bob Marley poster brah). Oh and SURPRISE! Like most intellectually lazy people looking to be revolutionary they embrace a rigid doctorine that fits in exactly with the establisment they're "fighting" by releasing shitty 7 inches and poorly written manifestos (in this case it's Islam, how shocking!) As for surviving on it, I was just taking the piss out of it for pretending to be something revolutionary and new when all of the shit it preached has been around for thousands of years. As of today you could say that a billion people (give or take a few hundred million) are "vegan" to survive. They just don't feel the need to come up with a whole subculture to feel important about themselves. Why? Because they live below the world poverty line and cannot afford basic sustenance (or even clean water), nevermind luxuries such as meat and other animal products. I can't stand the myopic view that not eating meat here, eating organic foods, watching Live Aid or buying an iPod with the phantom promises that some of the money will find its way to Africa somehow grants the consumer a free pass when it comes to the problems of the world. I've seen too many kids who could be pouring their energies into making actual changes in the world for the benefit of mankind fooled into thinking that posting peta2 videos on their myspace pages, wearing Darfur t-shirts, buying records or even shopping at Whole Foods somehow makes a difference to the other 6 billion some odd humans sharing the planet with them. It's very attention grabbing, which jibes well with the self-centered world view most young people have. And at the same time it allows them to deflect criticism of their own egotism by holding up these sham causes as reasons why they're mature members of the world community. I'm willing to bet anything that 20 years from now you'll see Trader Joes parking lots crammed with balding old men driving Volvo wagons with Earth Crisis and anti-Jenna Bush stickers slapped on them cutting each other off so they can get dinner for their shithead kids who hate them. And I'm sure more than just a billion people will be starving as these shitheads tool around thinking that they've really solved the world's problems. |
