The only real reason to be a vegetarian, barring like... meat allergy or something, is if you don't agree with the practices of factory farms. The waste that they create is a hell of a pollution problem, and they're the kind of farms with the giant rows of chickens layin' eggs till they die.
However, this argument also means you don't need to give up meat because there are family farms and free-range animals whose products you can consume without guilt.
I think vegetarianism is dumb, just buy your food at a co-op.
You can be a vegetarian for health reasons, which meat allergy falls into.
But yeah, other reasons are fairly dumb and lack merit.

I've though about going vegetarian for spiritual reasons, but it's hard to do so while working in a meat department. Also, I really like meat. I just cut back instead.
You mean go to med school for four years and become a doctor.
:P
8 years of school here I come.

I know a girl who simply can't eat meat because all she can think of is a slowly stagnating animal corpse in her mouth.
She did an art assignment that involved vegetarianism, and it also involved drawing a meat tray.
"Hey Tess, you need to add in a centerpeice, like a pig's head with an apple in it's mouth"

"What about like a garroted fish with the lemon?"
"D:"
"You could have like a sheeps head on there, apparently the eyes are popular, and leave the wool on to make is more striking"
"*Hits head full force on the table and looks at the ground for a full 10 minutes before looking at me, looking like she was about to throw up*"
"..."

"What about a circle of chicken drumsticks?"

now that this thread has slowed down, I found the best thing at the store today guys
I don't even know what I want to major in any more
I don't want to do anything with math and I don't want to do anything with "hard" sciences
why are those the largest-grossing careers
you could be a celebrity or a business major
those make a lot of money
I would be down to be a celebrity
And I honestly feel like I have the talent and drive to be a film director
or, seeing the quality of most mainstream actors, an academy-award winning actor
Seriously, I could absolutely do what Owen Wilson does.
Annnnyway, considering that that is a profession that does not really hinge on a degree, I just need to, in four years, decide whether I want to move to NY or LA and watch money that I could comfortably live on for the better part of my life disappear within 10 years, or go to grad school and become a doctor
If you become a director you should have a studio name that references SE++
like "Business as Usual Productions" or something like that
but man, being a director or actor sounds like fun times. I would totally be down with that.
projeck at least tell me you're watching your diet and getting your protiens somehow
seriously
fuckers are wasting away over a moral choice without really thinking about the impacts on their health
yes i am maintaining a healthy diet

Ok, if it's religious. That too. That would also be acceptable reason to be a vegetarian.

two blades of grass are sitting around and talking when a cow appears
without warning, its head lowers, its mouth opens and before they know it one of the blades of grass has a huge piece missing, bitten out by the baneful bovine
the other blade of grass rushes over, shouting "oh god, are you okay? please don't die man don't quit on me"
but, miraculously, the injured blade sits back up, and can talk and laugh as if nothing happened
the injured one's friend expresses its disbelief, saying "man, I thought you were a goner for sure! how can it be that you're still alright?"
"yeah," comes the reply, "I thought I was done for, too. lucky for me it just grazed me."
are you kidding me I'm not even supposed to be awake
I promised myself I was going to go to bed an hour and a half ago in hopes of remedying my twitching eye but instead here I am with half an essay and a plunger up my ass
I just know spanish and english, but I'm generally pretty quick with languages.
my interests are in latin america and southeast asia for the most part.
Being quick to learn is more important than the languages you know going in in a lot of cases. If you're working in an isolated region, the dominate language with the people groups you're working with might only be known by the people groups you're working with.
Even if you're not working with an obscure language, it helps to be able to learn the proper dialect. Castilian won't do you much good in Oaxaca.
Are you looking at humanitarian aid work?
yeah, I avoided picking up a spanish accent when I was studying there last semester, but it still did me a world of good (man spanish speakers in andalucia have some thick accents)
and yes, but hopefully aid in the sense of the "teach a man to fish" way, not the patron-client relationship way
Happily, the former is picking up favor. People have figured out that handouts are only a temporary fix- eventually you'll run out of funding and people will be starving again. Even worse, you can create an economy dependent on outside assistance. Teaching skills and building infrastructure and that sort of thing work better long term.

That's a case-by-case basis. In my experience, the arguments I've heard from various friends and acquaintances were really bad. 'They're hurting the cows!!' and shit.

Religious I'll buy. I'll buy trauma. Philosophical? You'll have to justify that, I haven't heard a convincing case.

Way to quit the forums, bro.
But First Impressions of Earth sounded like someone shit on vinyl and ran it through a dying sheep's anus
same, my friend put a bunch of strokes songs on a mix cd he made me
also turkeys
fuck you if you don't like turkey and provolone sandwiches with all the fixins
fuck you
provolone is king of cheeses
I've heard that human flesh tastes a lot like pork.
Me, I don't like pork, but I know a lot of people who do.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

-get the internship approved by the school
no

i hate pork and just about every pig-related meat there is
it's vile stuff.
Yes, even ham. Fuck ham. I said it.
can you argue for me
Way to _____, bro is a common expression and what I was going for. Only after did I realize the double entendre.

As she was platforming her cause of an animal-free diet and slurping down her 5th Jell-o shot until my vegetarian friend gave her the 411.
Those kind of moments you can't script.

I think I'll go along the humanities route, Poli Sci, English, and the like.
The problem is, it's kinda difficult to make a living on a degree like that.
Man
sometimes I do that too

yes this
do you think pigs are filthy animals
