Vegetarians annoy me.

[thetonofman]

you're just mad because you're fat. and you like eating chicken shit. go vegan and you'll feel and look better.

[goosey77ski]

you're right, your arguments are spot on. It must just be that the following people who advocated being vegetarian weren't very smart: plato, socrates, pythagoras, leonardo da vinci, einstein, gandhi etc etc. In fact the greatest thinkers our race has produced have all been horrified by the idea of killing animals. What a bunch of morons.

[patbalen]

you asked if there are any logical reasons not to eat meat? you pretty much named them all, dumbass

[AlgeKalipso]

modify the environment. Most animals are sentient, and that is a fact that is well supported by brain science and any reasonable philosophy of mind (for instance 'functionalism', google that). It also a well studied issue whether pigs experience stress and boredom when they are put in cages throughout their lives. It so happens that they do suffer, and the argument that "they do not know freedom, therefore they cannot tell the difference" is in fact wrong.

Now, please tell me if I have erred.

[AlgeKalipso]

said about inflicting suffering in animals when it is within our capabilities to stop it. Also, when you say "they are fraggin animals!" I am not sure exactly what you are pointing out. For one thing, in the field of normative philosophy (yes, such thing exists and is rigorous) it is generally agreed that two properties warrant moral consideration: sentience and sapience. Sentience is the property of counting with phenomenal conciousness and sapience is the property of being able to think and

[AlgeKalipso]

The argument about being fat and the one of poop are not valid and you are right in pointing them out as fallacious and lacking in rigor.

The argument about us being meant to eat meat because we have canines is equally fallacious and problematic. It assumes that just because something has been in a certain way in the past it means that it is ethical. As an example, I could point out that rape is an effective evolutionary strategy, yet we do condemn rape because it is not ethical. The same can be

[heliocopters]

I think my one of my favorite arguments against vegetarianism is "I have canines because I was meant to eat meat." We have four canines as opposed to cats, dogs, or other carnivores who have a mouthful. Humans were only meant to eat meat once in a great while when there was no other food source available. Living in this day and age means that we are capable of of making responsible decisions. I recommend Shelley Williams' "Sick of Vegan Opinions" video.

Also, you sound like a sociopath.

[ZackDonovan]

lol at all the vegetarians trying to offend you because they cant argue

[heliocopters]

@ZackDonovan Vegetarians can lack eloquence just as much as the next uneducated person. This does not mean all of us cannot make a striking argument.

[Greenvegan828]

Meat and dairy products do you make you FAT. It is also linked to diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, etc.

Eating excess? The funny thing is that Emily talks out the side of your ass. Fucking animals? Poop? There is shit everywhere including YOUTUBE. Look above.

[ThePervertedWhore]

Don't expect us to listen to you call us annoying and full of shit and expect us not to post mean comments you bitch

[brngforththelies]

try reading a book.

then try killing yourself, fat bitch

[himynameisyoshi]

"if they are raised free they know what freedom is like. if youve been raised in a cage you dont know what freedoms like"

my mom died when i was 1. i grew up without a mother. i dont know what its like to have a mom or say "i love you mommy" but i know im missing something. just because ive never had a mom doest mean i dont want one....

[umidontgetit]

Also, we are omnivores. Eating meat was what developed our brains to become smarter, evolutionarily. Note that all the smartest animals eat meat. I think I can't post links, so go to NPR.org and search "meat eating evolution" or something of that nature.

And our teeth CAN tear through raw meat, it's just that we choose to cook it due to microbes and such. I've had quite the rare steak, myself.

[jcontraros]

@umidontgetit most apes are vegetarians. they are considered the 3rd most intelligent animal only after humans and dolphins. Sure meat has helped us evolve. So what? If we had the abundance of different types of plant foods we have these days when we were "evolving" meat wouldn't have been necessary. It was though, and meat eating is natural - sure. Again it is a completely ethical decision. Regardless, one can get all they need from plants.

[umidontgetit]

Oh, and I'm 102 pounds ;P

[umidontgetit]

I'm on your side on this! The pejoratives against you I see below (i.e. disgusting assholes below saying that you are fat, which you are not). are shameful. If you want to be vegetarian, it's your choice. But actually, out of the 5 friends I have that are vegetarian or vegan, only one of them is skinny. The rest are chubby/overweight, because instead of eating protein which keeps them full for longer, they gorge on carbs like pasta and cake. Thus, I eat meat/fish which replaces half my carbs.

[jcontraros]

To each his or her own. There are plenty of "logical" reasons not to eat meat or at least eat less of it. The meat packing industry creates more harmful emissions than all transportation. However what it really comes down to is a moral decision. Some have the ability to go through with it, others don't. That is okay. Its like some people can give up smokes and some really struggle with it. If you can do it though, good for you! I won't babble about morality, but they aren't "just" animals.

[SleepySkeptic]

"Created with canines that were meant to tear meat" Actually that applies if you are a believer of desert mythology, but why would you support a god that creates a world of inevitable suffering and also a place of eternal torture?

[SleepySkeptic]

Humans also are animals, fucking animals so who cares if you are tortured for more advanced species' amusement? Well animals have instincts.. if you never knew freedom, pretty sure you would still be feeling horrible if unable to move.. it has nothing to do with environmental conditioning, if you look at legit videos of laboratories and factory farms and you know anything about animal behavior you will notice all the animals are insane, often mutilating themselves, they are desecrated. You suck.

[nitter123]

fuck off. all vegetarians arent like that

[acidcrashguy]

Did the bitch just say they are "fucking animals" ?

[ralphieboyyy126]

i fully agree with you.

[OpinionatedVegan]

the "canine" tooth in humans is actually not sufficient for tearing through raw flesh and skin..hence why you have to cook your food.

Have you ever seen a dog, or lions canine teeth?, thats for flesh. ours teeth are much more similar to ..say..a our primate friends (Herbivore)

[Kapagna]

Am I the only one who thinks Emily is hot? Turn the lights on, or just come over to my place, I just put some steaks on the grill. Mmmm...

[himynameistess]

oh and you're fat. and being fat is unhealthy. so stop being fat. and complaining about being fat....fat.

[himynameistess]

You're actually behaviorally an omnivore, but biologically an herbivore.....you're not a carnivore, you would get sick from scurvy, etc. if you didn't eat vegetables....ignorant fuck.

[Blindflare]

Look, sure animals have a right to live, and we have just as much of that right as they do. If they could overpower us, I'm sure as hell they'd eat us too but since we're stronger - they're the ones who get eaten. Vegetarians and vegans need to stop imposing their views on others and just accept that some people love meat and don't give two fucks about whether or not you approve of that. I also don't give a fuck how the animal died, as long as it reaches my stomach and fills me up.

[SleepySkeptic]

@Blindflare In this case why should anyone help you if you get hit by a car? Obviously you have no compassion and just want to be a parasite on the planet, so really we are better off without you.. fair is fair.

[ready4summer09]

your a complete ass hole. i think you should become vegetarian, your FAT : ]

and they aren't just fucking animals. they

having fucking feelings too.

fuck face.

oh, and yeahh. vegetarians are annoying, but try being around vegans :]

[ashantilongislant]

theyre not just animals theyre living things that have the right to live.

they want to live and they fear death just like us.

they lpve and protect their young and loved ones too.

they cant talk but they are highly sencitive in smelling to detect even cancer.and reading body language, they all have a personality of their own,

dont think im judging you im just correcting you.

[marylouser21]

yeah, i'm a vegetarian...we are annoying, but i just don't like meat

[KnittyGrittyNatch]

Watching one video about vegetarianism makes you an expert. Yaaay.

Your canines, by the way, don't compare to an honest carnivore/omnivore. Check out a horse's, a bear's and a lion's teeth. Which one do you most identify with?

I would suggest changing the name of the video if you don't want any "mean comments from vegetarians." You don't think generalizing them and saying "vegetarians annoy me" is offensive?

[UndyingRevolution]

"They're just fucking animals"

This statement explains a lot. You are putting a divide between 'us' and 'them' so that you feel okay about killing and eating them - despite animals and humans having many similarities. It's the same psychology responsible for racism, sexism, any -ism.

Actually I'd say you actually do care about other animals deep down. I'm sure if you saw an injured cat or a dog (or pig or whatever) clearly suffering, you'd feel compassion/empathy. Most humans do.

[UndyingRevolution]

OK, saying that any diet makes you fat isn't very factual. Of course it all depends on how many calories you take in / burn off. Although, it is shown that vegetarians on average have a lower BMI than meat-eaters. So there obviously is some connection.

I don't think just because an animal has been raised from birth in a cage, justifies it being kept there. Using the same logic, we could justify slavery of people if they were born into slavery (which people did for many thousands of years).

[VeganTruth]

dont label all vegetarians because of one video.
