you can't expect to start a thread then try to regulate who responds.
it seems like these days, you can't have a conversation on here without someone getting defensive and starting an argument or debate. There is nothing to debate, I'm not saying one lifestyle is better than the other. Although a few veggie Ledgies have....
what if I started a "any Catholic Ledgies thread" and then tried to say people of other religions couldn't post or give opinions?
not very nice, is it?
I've stayed nice, and will continue to do so. I apologize for intruding on "your" vegetarian thread. It won't happen again.

I don't really mind the debate, but I have found over the years, that it's kind of a losing battle on both ends. I'm not going to convince you to stop eating meat and you're not going to convince me that I should eat it. No biggie!
What bugs me is when people KNOW what animals go through to get on our plates (or our feet, in our cars, and so on) and still make excuses for it (and argue about it!). I will never eat meat, but for those who do I wish that you would care more about the animals you are consuming. The treatment of animals is horrible. HORRIBLE. And as I said earlier, unless you live on your own farm, you can't be sure what's going on behind the scene.
I have often said that if everyone would give up eating meat just one day a week (in protest) perhaps it would hurt the cattle industry enough to make some changes.
This is what's happening, more often than not. It is the norm.
All this being said, it's not my job to change the world (though I try in my own little way on a daily basis
). I won't *start* an argument about this, but I will defend my position. And as long as we're all respectful to one another, I see no problem with it.
