Madonna Booed in Bucharest by Band of Gypsy Haters {Popeater}

Aug 28th 2009 3:25PM We should round up all the 'gypsies' and put them in camps or something...

Seriously though, I can't help but personally take offense to the comments that have been posted.

My ROMANI grandfather (or 'Opa' as I called him) fought for this country (that doesn't even believe in evolution).

He was born and raised in Anina, but his family is German and he still fought for YOU PEOPLE, even though I'm sure the SS would have taken kindly to a 6ft+ man with blonde hair and German ancestry.

Yeah, he stole, but he was doing what he had to-- to survive considering he had to support his own family at the age of 13.

Christ, you people suck.

Shameless Carnivore's Guide to Defending Against Vegan Attacks {Asylum}

Nov 20th 2008 3:32PM "Don't be a hotheaded, irrational d-bag."
I like this one. I've been a vegan for almost two years now and between my family and I, (they're all omnivores) douchebaggary runs rampant when it comes to discussing the issue of animal consumption.
"they (PETA) kill thousands of animals a year"
They do euthanize animals, sometimes without good reason. While they have contributed to the animal rights movement by bringing to the forefront inhumane factory and farmhouse conditions, most veg*ns believe that PETA is a ridiculous, offensive organization that at times, hurts the movement, more than it helps.
"You're not saying that they should abandon all of their traditions because you disagree with them"
You're not saying that animals should die, simply in the name of tradition? If nutritional vegetarian alternatives are not available, then I believe that animal consumption is somewhat justified, in the name of (human) health and survival, but not just because it's part of one's heritage.
"Fundamentalists... love to cite junk science and misappropriate medical or statistical studies"
True, no one should ever simply just believe what they read or what someone tells them. These misunderstandings go both ways however (eg. plant protein isn't sufficient, calcium found in dairy superior to other calcium sources when it comes to preventing osteoporosis, all veg*ns support PETA).
