7. When you are a low count poster

Alot of posters are going to be suspicious of you. Sometimes its warranted and sometimes its not. But the admins and MIRT both do a good job at finding the real right wing troublemakers so unless you really are an infiltrator I would not worry

I don't think I could ever cut it as a vegan (love my milk!) but I have at times considered becoming a semi-vegetarian.

The way I see it, we are perfectly capable of living without taking the life of a conscious thinking animal but choose not to mainly because we like the taste of meat. There is something about that which bothers me. But I live with, and I am the main cook for, a family of meat eaters who I know for a fact they would do not share my sentiments. I also have no intention of trying to force my moral quandaries on them.

So by my thinking, if I were to try and do it by myself it seems to me that all that would do is lead to wasted food. The animal is already dead and by not eating it, that would mean it just died in vain for no reason. But this is probably me just trying to justify my lack of willpower >.<

If I ever did try to go vegetarian it would probably be one of those Ideas that I would try for a week and then succumb to temptation.
