I know that CM is vegetarian, that's OK.

But why in this world are these guys using his image to promote the vegetarianism???

And why in this world CM gave permission to those guys to use his image for that????

 

I really don't get it.

If you don't want to eat meat, that's OK, but please, keep it for yourself!!! It's your decision, you don't have to promote it. I don't care what you eat and why you eat it.

 

And by they way, for the record, every time CM eats vegetables, is KILLING those vegetables. The vegetables were LIVING!!!

 

Vegetarians, keep your ideas for yourselves!!

Eat whatever you like, when you like, but stop your absurd campaign.

 

 

Queridos Españoles Vegetarianos, guardense sus hábitos alimenticios para ustedes mismos, y sepan que las plantas son SERES VIVOS, que uds matan para comer. O sea, son asesinos de vegetales. Dejen al mundo tranquilo, que ya bastantes problemas tiene para traerle otro mas!!! Busquen una causa mas importante, por ejemplo, enjuiciar a todos los asesinos durante el gobierno de Franco, aunque sea a su memoria, o ayudar a los inmigrantes necesitados, que se mueren de hambre en su país, ya que uds mismos fueron inmigrantes en varios paises de Latino América.

This isn't a joke, right?

 

Probably not... :inquisitive:

lol. erm... yes. :thinking:

 

so, why exactly does it bother you so much?

they used the show as an excuse to discuss something else... and you did the same here :uhoh:

lol. erm... yes. :thinking:

 

so, why exactly does it bother you so much?

 

It bothers me, because it is not right!!

Why are they using those signs with CM's image on it???

 

I don't want to know why CM is vegetarian!!

Some people really believe in bullshit and they want to feel so good themselves only because the don't eat meat.

 

C'mon! There are so many things so much important than being or not a vegetarian!!

There are people dying of hunger all over this planet, those guys in Spain need to go and help the poor instead of doing such silly campaign!!

 

I'm sorry if I'm ranting!!

they used the show as an excuse to discuss something else... and you did the same here :uhoh:

 

Why???

 

I'm only saying that I don't like what they are doing and that they should doing something for a better cause. It's only my opinion, and like them, I have the right to express it. That's all.

Well if you're happy to eat meat then don't worry, no one will ever oblige you not to eat it.

 

and since you're asking them to go and care about more important things why don't you do the same instead of coming here just to talk about this?

 

and yes I'm vegetarian and proud to be and have never in my life obliged someone not to eat meat. With this ranting you just show how much you don't know of the consequences of being vegetarian or at least not to eat much meat, in case you didn't know a lot of land is used to grow up cows to feed our western way of life with the likes of McDonald's or Burger King, while it could be used to feed people dying of hunger.

 

So really try to research before speaking nonsense

Proud of not eating meat???

Wow!!

That's great and good for you.

But you have to recognize that there are a lot of people feeling like extraterrestrials only because they don't eat meat.

 

I eat meat only twice a week, because I know that diversity is good for our health. And I'm not promoting eating meat at all.

 

I hate Mc Donalds and Burger King, by the way.

And I do a lot of things to help the poor, because I live in a country that needs a lot of help.

i know that Chris is a very good guy in all the matters from personal to professional and public matters...

 

but some people just don't like him at all and they want to irritate him always...

 

and yeah these are all the things they do for him because they just don't digest everything he do...eventhough its good or bad...

and also i am a veggie like chris too i will also not only eat meat but also i avoid eating eggs too...

 

don't ask me why its first of all my choice in life how i want to live and also my religion rules in india are strict for people.

hehe vegetables murders hahaha brilliant... anyway, whatever, everyone can live however they want

to all vegetarians...

EAT THE ******* MEAT!:angry:

dumb idiots

pain in the ass :whatever:

Meh I hate vegtables, they make me feel sick.

 

The animals will be killed whether or not I eat them.

 

If a cow had the chance it would kill you and everyone you care about.

My god.... is this really the appropriate forum for this? Well... since it's been started I just cant help myself from replying to some of these very common arguments against vegetarianism. I do not wish to be attacked for this, and i am NOT trying to shove vegetarianism down anyone's throats here... but I do feel the need to reply to some of these common arguments and misconceptions.

 

 

Re: eating vegetables = murder.

When people say this, theyre usually trying to poke fun at vegetarians, and stray from the real issue. Sure, plants that are eaten are plants that no longer live. However, that's not really the point. Animals are sentient, feeling beings. They experience pain, pleasure and likely capable of more than just that. Plants as far as we know at the moment, do not have a physiological makeup that would suggest that they are capable of feeling pain, nor do they appear sentient.

 

There are many other good reasons to eat less meat or none at all. most plant agriculture is used to feed animals instead of human beings. The amount of energy put into an animal that is slaughtered for human consumption is far greater than the energy gained from eating that animal. Far less agricultural land would be required to feed the entire human population (something we're having trouble with now) if we ate a vegetarian diet. the environmental impact of animal agriculture is astronomical. There are many good, rational reasons to support vegetarianism, even ignoring animal suffering, so vegetarians aren't necessarily just some crazed animal lovers.

 

Re: animals that are killed will die anyway.

 

So will every single person on the planet, but that doesn't mean we should eat people because someone else might kill them or they would die of natural causes! =P animals raised for meat live a tiny fraction of their lives, and they hardly live a 'natural' life. Many are crammed into tiny spaces, unable to stretch out. Some are trampled on, many are injured. None of their social needs are met, and yes, even animals have social needs.

 

As far as cows killing people... hmm, not so sure about that one! :P I do know that rodeo bulls are often prodded, shocked, have their testicles squeezed etc before theyre released from their pens to behave like 'crazed' creatures. When unprovoked many are docile enough to approach if you're not behaving in a threatening manner.

 

As far as being able to eat a diverse diet as a vegan/vegetarian, it is entirely possible and i've found it is actually much easier than i originally thought it would be! I also hate the misconception that vegetarians eat 'boring' food. completely not true! there's a lot of great things you can make that are 100% delicious, vegan, nutritious and filling!

 

 

And to the original poster... As far as keeping your ideas to yourself... didn't Chris say in an interviewthat "whether youre a plumber or a rockstar you should say what you believe"? Well, you've said what you believed by calling me and other vegetarians 'vegetable murderers', and activists, whatever they're standing up for are saying what they believe.

 

 

As far as my thoughts on the animal rights activists... they did pick a bit of an odd venue to find support. But it hardly seemed like they were being too aggressive. If someone was interested by the picture they held up, and they then became curious about animal issues, that person could go home and find out more. Maybe that person would decide to eat less meat or no meat at all. If you weren't interested by their presence or animal rights issues in the least, you'd ignore them, go on your merry way and enjoy the coldplay concert. I dont see any harm being done.

It bothers me, because it is not right!!

Why are they using those signs with CM's image on it???

 

I don't want to know why CM is vegetarian!!

I'm sorry if I'm ranting!!

If you don't care why Chris is a vegetarian, i dont think they were forcing you to find out.

 

 

And...That's another misconception that bugs the shit out of me. Animal activists often DO support humanitarian causes as well as the animal protection movement. Do you have a problem supporting more than one cause yourself? If not, why do you think animal rights activists would only be concerned with animal suffering? Humans are capable of compassion not just towards one animal, one human being or towards one cause... but towards many things simultaneously... And there are plenty who aren't involved in any cause at all... do you rant at them on message boards to go solve all the world's humanitarian issues the way you do to vegetarians?

 

 

 

So I probably shouldn't take this guy too seriously, but honestly now... I don't think this is the right place to attack people's beliefs and convictions. :\

Meh I hate vegtables, they make me feel sick.

 

The animals will be killed whether or not I eat them.

 

If a cow had the chance it would kill you and everyone you care about.

 

:laugh3:

Well, I said before that I have the right to express my opinion.

 

What I don't like at all is that those people in Spain are using CM image to promote their cause.

 

And regarding vegetarianism: It's ok for me if you don't want to eat meat as long you keep that practice to yourself. I don't like proselytism at all. That's all. That's why I´m pissed off.

 

One of my good friends is a vegetarian. So when she came to my house, I cook vegetables specially for her. And sometimes, I decide not to eat meat, I prepare more vegetables, like different types of salads, or whatever I like, to make feel her more confortable (and because I know it's healthier). And we like to go to a restaurant near my home that is 100% vegetarian and I love to eat there. When someone says that eating vegetables is boring, I like to think in that restaurant, because there are so many things to eat, cooked in so many different ways.

 

But why is so necessary to PREACH about it??

And with a CM image!!!

to all vegetarians...

EAT THE ******* MEAT!:angry:

dumb idiots

pain in the ass :whatever:

 

:stunned:

 

This is low,come on...if you don´t have arguments you shouldn´t write at all!It´s a free world,everyone can be whatever they want to!

 

Do you think you´re better because you eat meat ?

im only against eating squid!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess i am a nonsquidaterian? Anyway i refuse to eat it. Other meats are fine. I dont really care who eats what, andi think this whole conversation sholdnt be had in the coldplay forum. this is definitely a waist of anyones time to argue this so much.

qwerty <3

yeah i agree this is a free world.

 

we just don't need to stop from expressing our feelings in fear of others disagreeing or stopping us.

 

if that happens then i must say that we're still there in some ancient dictatorship world not in a democratic world where only one person's reign of words are in practice for the people.:confused:

 

and also we just don't need to do anything in command or force of others...

this thread is kinda stupid... Except the thing about cows killing every1 you know and love, thats true.
