PBH seems to be getting more and more aggressive and confrontational; moving away from a great source of information to multiple bitching, personal attack and amateur police investigation sessions.
Could the reason for so much aggressive behavior be to an influx of vegetarian personnel? Article below!!!
Vegetarianism and militancy
These days, it seems that there are more and more reasons to protest against the way our society is being run. There are voices of disseat everywhere. (It is the reason for this website!) but there is a much more worrying trend — violent protest.
Have you noticed the increasing numbers of occasions when small groups of very militant people demonstrate against all sorts of things: animal experiments, butchers' shops, new roads, footpaths, nuclear power stations, civil rights, homosexuals' rights or anybody else's rights. The odds are that the majority are vegetarians.
As we know, when it needs food, our body indicates this to us with the feeling of hunger. But there are also other signals if specific nutrients are deficient. Meat is the best source of several nutrients. When our bodies are deficient in these, we become irritable and aggressive. This is a perfectly natural signal built into our genetic make-up over our evolution: our bodies are telling us to go out and kill something to eat. This is why strict vegetarians tend to be so vociferous. It is a trait that was recognised long ago; it was, after all, the vegetarian Cain who killed the carnivorous Abel, not the other way round. The vegan Kikuyu tribe in Kenya were the perpetrators of the murderous Mau Mau in the 1950s, not their wholly carnivorous, but peaceful, neighbours, the Maasai.
The butcher's shop in my village has had its windows smashed so often that it is now boarded up when it is closed. Have you ever heard of a meat eater bombing a greengrocer's shop?

ferran says on May 27, 2009, 09:37: I would say they there is some truth to this, as most new modern caucasian vegetarians do it out frustration and anger, they HATE anyone else that eats meat, they blame them for the killing of animals, vegetarian caucasian women are a raw wire, naturally I would not sa y all and generalized, as I met very peaceful and aware vegetarians. The choice and desire should come from within, to be united in harmony with the mind, body and your higher self, most vegetarians today do it out rebellion and misunderstanding of how they fit in. its all about balance. All truth goes through three phases. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self evident. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

RAAAY says on May 27, 2009, 09:38: Well..........I don't eat veggies, or meat, or fish, poultry or any of that other shite. Cornflakes in the morning, washed down with a good Pint of Guinness. That's all you need for sustinance. Couple of Bloody Mary's at lunchtime with a few potato chips and a nice dinner of Peroni or Pilsen or Budweiser or Coors or....................etc etc............ .........Its useless to argue with ignorance 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

dwmte7 says on May 27, 2009, 11:38: i was a vegan for years...not only that, i ate no flesh, no animal products...milk, cheese, butter, etc and no fruits. only grains and a very limited asst. of vegis. carrots, onions, garlic, ginger. i was macrobiotic and religiously so. then when my religious teacher (guru) found out....he said, "if's far more important what comes out of your mouth, than what goes in it." totally burst my better than thou ego. now i eat what motivates me--clean stuff--but anything...steak, pollo, veg. fruit, you name it. if it's freash, uncanned, not in bottles or with preservatives or chemicals, it's good for me. yum. i don't remember being aggresive...really not my nature...but there was a time in youth that i was a bit on a short fuse. patriarch 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

kenblanquito says on May 27, 2009, 14:50: Too many foreign people with not enough to do so they direct too much energy into PBH. Whilst on line, they will drink too much coffee during the day, eat junk food with too many e-numbers among their ingredients and later on will spliff up and drink too much alcohol. You know those types because they write nothing Friday/Saturday evenings because they are out partying. Then the post things drunk or with a pounding hangover.
