In my situation it's always the other way around. The only time I tell people I'm vegan is when they want to go somewhere to eat. Which in the USA is a lot of the time. All of the aggression comes from the other side though, not mine. But I have noticed that over the years the aggression has turned more into a curiosity and more people like to ask me about the diet. Some of the time they want me to bring them some vegan food to try. But online its a totally different story. Aggression and name calling always starts with the non-vegans. Everyone's got some story about how a vegetarian made them feel bad about themselves. So you met one asshat, I meet a lot of non-vegans that are turds on a regular basis, but I don't assume it's because they eat meat and I don't lump all non-vegans with that person. I bet that person you worked with isn't even vegetarian any more if they are that aggressive with their believes.
I'm sorry but you can't make an argument about logic and then say that being vegan is grossly inefficient. It's more efficient than eating meat. Meat takes a week to process through the digestive system, where as plants take a day. You burn more energy processing meat than you do processing plants. And what about our teeth says we evolved to eat meat? Please don't say canines because if you look at real canines and then look at a humans canines they are totally different. Same name, but functionally not the same. Real canines tear through flesh a lot easier than the human canines can. Look no one can predict what we are supposed to eat, but to assume that being vegan is a stupid diet isn't logic speaking, that's culture speaking. Not sure why you get offended by veganism, but you should look into it more before you criticize it. You should ask a nutritionist about the vegan diet and how healthy it is. Get a professionals point. Like I said, I've been a strict vegan for 12 years (no honey or processed sugars). I don't know if it's contributed to my health, but it definitely hasn't hurt it.
Copy that. sugar = poison. Learning all kinds of things from you today. If I dip an arrow into some apple juice then shoot it at someone it will be the apple juice that kills them and not the arrow?
you're totally right Brian. Next time someone ask for a drink I'll remind them that only water is a drink and that apple juice they wanted is a food and they should have been more specific.
I'm sure if he knows the mothers then they would let him know if they have any health related problems. Plus it doesn't take a doctor to tell if a kid is malnourished. It's always interesting when there's an article posted about veganism and all the haters come out trying to say it's an unhealthy diet. I've been vegan for 12 years and I'm a very healthy person and I don't take any supplements. My wife is pregnant with our first child and her doctor says she's totally fine to be vegan and have the baby. Not sure why people get so offended by vegans.
It would be nice if people stopped donating to politicians. Instead, take that money and donate to help cure cancer or your local humane society. At least then you know it's going to something useful.
In all fairness this is politics. Also this is Newt Gingrich, how many people are going to type in that domain name and get the spelling correct? If anything people will put his name (misspelled or not) into a search engine, which will then pull up the correct site. That may change with the/. effect bringing traffic to that domain with his name in the content. Newts people definitely need to obtain this domain even if they lose and they need to purchase all known misspellings of the domain as well.
If Google wants to track my buying habits then use that info to push ads relevant to me, then by all means do so. I'm Vegan, so I don't need ads on steaks or Burger King. And if they've got some online coupons, then hook a brother up because being Vegan ain't cheap.

God made us with the iPad in mind, if you don't believe me then why do we have thumbs.

So you know they are in denial? How? Do you know them personally?
where do you live that vegans are hanging out in restaurants waiting for you to order just so they can give you their speech?
in chrome and firefox the address bar is also a search bar. Makes it easier than going to the actual site to type what you're looking for.
you're totally right Brian. Next time someone ask for a drink I'll remind them that only water is a drink and that apple juice they wanted is a food and they should have been more specific.
Come on its not that hard to deduce that if you're commenting on /. that your intelligence level is . . .
mom and dad are fighting. make it stop.
hopefully you aren't giving your babies milk from another species. Plus I said "food" milk is more of a drink.
Isn't most baby food vegan?

Better yet who owns and controls those channels?
Um it matters because some nerds haven't finished Skyrim. This could be a deadline.
I was thinking:
Uncle Sam Hates Steve Jobs
That'll get more reads

I believe Google Talk saves the chat history to its servers. Maybe more companies will start doing this.
Would this include military personnel?
On Android phones you have YouTube that will stream your video as well as UStream.
Just to make sure, we're not amused about Tupac, right?
But we all had a good laugh when "teabagging" was on the news.

I for one am interested in this new Super 8 video technology. It's apparently film and video at the same time, like those CD records.
