Thank your for your well thought out analysis of my personal flaws. While I do like to poke fun at what I see as absurd (usually peoples misguided ideas), I do not take to attacking people in such a personal manner. I hope that your name calling makes you feel less insecure. I hope that your omitting meat from your diet makes you feel superior (much the same way that the vegetarian Adolf Hitler felt superior to many poeple). I dont disagree that vegetarianism is a healthy and humane choice, but I do take offence to people who think it makes them more moral. I do eat meat in moderation, because I think it is a good source of protein and vitamins. I am no better or worse then you.
I like to provoke and inflame people. Who knows, maybe by provoking people to regard their ideas they may in fact become more dedicated to them. Maybe the young lady who is trying to convince her mom will go out and do some thorough research and wind up making her mom odopt the same choice.
Good luck to her.
As for you, maybe you should deal with your own issues. I am sure that I have mine. But maybe you could make your critisism more constructive.
P.s. I prefer the term "obnoxious jerk" over asshole. An asshole is a useful part of the human body, why not just call me a pancreas?
