You are about to eat your thanksgiving turkey and..

A vegan friend of yours shows up and lectures you how bad it is. What would you do?

I have to say, I understand what it's like to be vegan and to see animal products being eaten but it's really not a persons place to impose their views. I don't understand why so many people comment retaliation though, that's a bit shit

People are a bit intolerant in general. We are raised to be very defensive. It's actually a true incident from 2014, but the person finally understood he has no control over what others do. He can go and save his turkeys before its cooked. We don't mind.

most people get angry at the mention of any vegan due "stereotyped" vegan... i haven't met any personally as those who said they are are full of crap.

but from what i hear they're like the religious people of food and try to shove everything down your throat and get butt hurt and treat you like crap if you so much as suggest something you think of..

don't get me wrong, it's hard to piss me off... and i tend not to get annoyed easily... but people telling me how to due things a certain way when they're input is not needed, or i don't need help tends to push my buttons here and there... and i don't care who it is..
@ragingfire: yea, I honestly keep it to myself but it comes up at dinners or restaurants. Then there are the follow up questions, the lectures I get and then the memes I'm constantly tagged in. I laugh with them but then when someone gets me when I'm in a bad mood I come close to being like "ooh FUCK OFF!!!" So it really does go both ways ;)

Making fun of vegans is not something I get either. Memes are fine, but some meat eater on forums take it way too far. I'm not vegan, but any kinda comment of lifestyle is not necessary. We just need to focus on our own. @ElusiveReclusive:
Yes beautifully said @ragingfire:
