Re: Vegetarians unite!

Why do only 0.5% of the world have to be vegetarian? It's not fair.

So a chickens' (or turkey's) life is somehow less valuable than a cows?

If you are avoiding red meat for health reasons, that's fair enough.  But you don't get to claim a moral high ground if you still eat poultry.

I've always been a fussy eater (that's not why I'm a vegetarian though), and my parents don't like that. So when my sister was born they wanted her to grow up very healthily. Before she was born, both my parents were vegetarians, but they started eating chicken in the hope that it would rub off on my sister, and it did. She will now eat any meat. But my parents have decided that they won't stop now. In fact my mum took it further and will eat any meat.

Grass doesn't look like us...

Animals are like us. They eat with their mouths, walk with their legs, breathe with their lungs, and they move just like us. And they communicate with each other like we do too.

Grass doesn't do it like we do. D:

So if somebody called their baby "my little bunny", would you point out to them that it is not a bunny, but in fact a homo sapiens?  tongue

Lol. I think it is pretty clear I am not talking about specific facts here.

I am talking about how people tend to think about animals and plants. Humans clearly associate themselves with animals, esecially mammals and the land-dwelling ones, less with fish. But they do not associate themselves with plants. >.>

You wouldn't step on a cat's tail, but you walk around stomping the grass each day.  tongue

Because it doesn't feel pain and react and scream like a cat does when its tail gets stepped on.

Well, I'm a tree, which means I'm a plant, and whenever someone steps on me I feel pain!  Well, I don't scream or anything, I just shoot 'em with an AK47.

Er... somehow this topic went from vegetarians to AK-47's. Well, whatever, but I'd like to point out that a tree can't hold an AK-47 and definitely can't shoot one, I'm dealing with facts.

Well we have a lot in common...... I mean, I can float, too. Things grow on us, I have leaves and you grow humans (YES THERE ARE PEOPLE ON NEPTUNE!) and apparently we both despise the color red even though we are both that color (Well, I could be considered as mahogany, but who cares? Red-Wood means Red-tree so yeah.)

If I wasn't too scared that you'd rip me limb from limb, then I'd report you for going off topic! And then you would have let everyone down, and I would take over scratch and use it to build an army of giant man-eating robots!

Are you joking? If anything isn't going to turn into a flame war, then it's this. We're talking about trees holding AK-47s and discussing the difference between Neptune and magic trees that float. In other words MyRedNeptune and floatingmagictree. I don't think it will turn into a flame war.

Also, plants don't breath, they do have a system of respiration, but not like humans.

Yes, that's true, Us plants use our leaves to take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen so you humans can also breathe.

You could say humans and plants are alike though, because we both have the 7 life processes:
Movement - Although humans can move by themselves, and plants can't
Respiration - But, as you mentioned, it's different to humans
Sensitivity - We both respond and reacts to things around us
Growth - Well, you were once a sapling, and I was once a baby, so yeah, we both grow
Reproduction - Well, there's lots of trees, and lots of humans, so we both have this
Excretion - Yes, nothing more to be said...
Nutrition - We both take in nutrition, yes.
