I love how 15 year olds seem to think they know everything.

Hey Miss 15 Year Old from Toronto,

Guess what. Replying back to emails after the first one where you said don't bother, is pathetic. All it shows is that you want attention. Sorry but it is true. So if you changed your diet not from a need to change the world or simply because you can't eat something with a face, you need to change your priorities.

Oh and we all are of varying ages. The youngest here I believe is 21. We are all of varying education and occupations with different passions
 Do not assume anything. You just look stupid. I would say post here, but I bet you are a post and run. Not to mention its people like you that give vegans a bad name. Yes that's right, idiots like you.

awww, they're so adorable when they start getting opinions of their own and thinking they're all rebellious n shit. 

hi there 15 yr old kid,

congratulations, i haven't laughed that hard in DAYS.  i have no issues with "supporting evil" but trust me this site isnt the evilest of the evil.  i DO take issue with peta.  i absoloutely do.  i take issue with any organisation who uses brainwashing techniques to turn people against other people.

 i DO take issue with organisations that prey on the young and innocent.  peta does exactly that.  thats why they lurk in front of grammar schools, and jr highschools, and even highschools.  they are looking for the outcasts giving them something to "band together" against.  when in reality they are THE biggest danger to an outcast.   they give the kid something terribly false to cling too.

did i really read "it's not natural" in your angry lil wordy temper tantrum?  you MUST be kidding.  either that or you're entirely too high.  put down the pipe.  humans are designed to, we evolved to eat meat.  thats why our mouths and teeth are the way they are.  it's why our thumbs work like they do.  evoloution was pretty clear in what it was trying to acomplish.  a species who could survive off of pretty much whats easiest to get.

we humans can survive off plants only, but we thrive when there's animal product thrown in.  yes many people over do the flesh portion of their diet, but that also is human nature.  humans are stupid.  all of us. 

you dont see any reason for hunting...  really?  you dont?  i bet you would after a few years of the deer population running amok and they started starving to death because there are too many deer and not enough food...  OR, it might take untill the predator population booms and we have coyotes, bear, wolves, mountain lions, even gators all over everywhere because their prey is EVERYWHERE.

i bet when you wake up to a bear and a mountain lion fighting in your front yard over the scrawny, half starved deer that wandered into it looking for scraps, you'll start thinking maybe population controll in the 1st place wasnt such a terrible idea.

of course those are all just MY thoughts, as a person who years ago thought similarly to you.  take it as what you will, but remember, reality isnt a kind teacher.  some of us terrible people here on this site are much more kind that reality ever thought of being.  i'm not, but some of us are...

so you have yourself a swell time trying to find me and dump red paint on me, i look fantastic in red, and i'm sure you'll look good in the concussion i'd be likely to beat you into. 

see, i'm not completely heartless, i'm thinking of you there.

love,

Ellie,

You forgot to say that the life didn't bring an instruction manual.

I say that because maturity whether it comes at 15 or 50 results at experience. So 15 year old, can you truly tell us that you have lived a life where you can say you are mature enough to make life altering decisions? I also say that because going or being vegan isn't just a diet but lifestyle. Can you truly say that you are in the right? Can you truly say that you have experience enough in life to condemn a huge potion of the population because of your beliefs.

Lastly, I want to think of this: is your actions no different than a religious fanatic? I want you to figure that out as there are many vegans out there that do no act out according to PETA doctrine or other fanatical doctrine. You know the ones that say you I am right and you wrong and I am wrong you must be wrong because I am always right?

I have eaten meat all my life and am not obese. Come to think of it, everyone I know has eaten meat all their lives, and none of them are obese. None of us have heart trouble of any kind. The only 15-year old I know is about to quit high school - and this is a gifted kid - because he's addicted to computer gaming. So much for the deep wisdom of 15-year olds.

The one thing I think all PETArds have in common is that they live in cities. The overwhelming majority of people who live in cities know nothing about the natural world and are completely alienated from it. That's why it's so easy for them to become environmentalists: they get their information about the environment from people who also live in cities and have a vested interest in convincing city people there is some sort of environmental holocaust going on "out there". All they'd need to do is actually go visit some of the vast wilderness we still have in in North America, or hell, get off their useless asses and step oustide their own doors once in a while, to see it's not true. I live in a city myself, and I can see many different species of birds, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, salmon, coyotes, otters, and even the occasional bear right in my own neighborhood.

We should never wonder why a kid with their face stuck in a computer absorbing propaganda 24/7, or some assclown publicity-hogging Hollywood celebrity says things like this. They have never learned to think for themselves and do their own research about reality. They're like trained parrots who are only capable of repeating back what others have taught them to say. Pathetic sock puppets and nothing more.

No, no, no, they know everything about the natural world, animals and the environment - they read about and see it on the internet and that makes them experts.

Seriously though Mike, You're right, most of them have never had contact with a real animal other than a pampered pet cat or dog, they think all animals are "gentle and intelligent" because peta tells them they are, and plants grow anywhere without any power, water or energy requirement.

In other words they haven't got a clue.

Heh heh...Toronto, no wonder, eh?

I am no expert - but I was a park natural history interpreter, and I have never stopped learning, both by reading what the real scientists and the Greentards have to say about the world as well as by direct experience.

For Greentards, it PAYS to lie and grossly exaggerate. For Green "scientists" (read: whores in the pay of power-hungry elitists) it means grants, career longevity, publish-or-perish, peer recognition, and hard cash for the kind of fear-mongering catastrophizing books and documentaries that are those industries' very lifeblood.

On that note, next time someone tells you "2500" (or whatever) scientists have stated their belief in anthropogenic global warming (or "climate change" or ""climate disruption", or whatever Newspeak buzzphrase they come up with next to explain why it isn't getting warmer), just send them here: http://www.petitionproject.org/

The goal of the peition was 30,000, but they just kept coming.
