I just don't see how that's relevant at all. George Bush hunts as well from what I've read in biographies of him. That's their buisness what they do for their hobbies. All of my roommmates hunt. It doesn't mean I'm not their friend. It doesn't mean that if I were a manager and needed someone to help run a buisness of mine,that the fact that they hunt would make them any less of a person. I don't expect anyone to look down on me for being a vegetarian. The same way I don't look down upon people who hunt. I don't agree with it. I just don't do it. But I dont look down on the people who do.

Well, That might be. But you have posted a PETA site that was flat out insulting to people who do eat meat. Claiming those of us who do are "dumb", "killers", "cruel", and many other unfair adjectives. Now, I'm not saying you should dislike the guy ... what concern is it of mine if you like him or not? My point is, I've seen you speak out against groups or individuals that performed this type of thing that you obviously do not agree with so why not speak out when someone you like does it as well? You despise the act of killing an animal for a sport, John Kerry advertised himself killing birds as something good for the sake of votes ... which makes the act that much worse. I'm just curious why it's a pick and choose issue.

I myself have never called anyone that eats meat "dumb","killers", or "cruel". It's not a pick and choose issue. I've told any people that I dont agree with the fact that I don't like the way he talks about hunting. I dont like hunting period. But I feel that he is better suited for the job of president than what we currently have. I support that. To me, the idea of voting for Kerry isn't a one issue thing,so speaking out against him or anyone shouldn't be either. I have never spoken out against anyone's beliefs on hunting unless they have attacked mine as well. If Kerry came out and said "fuck animal rights" I would speak out against him. He does a lot of things I don't agree with,but he does not personal attack my beliefs.

no no no, you're getting this totally wrong like the person up there did. This has nothing to do with the race for president. We could take John Kerry out and put in say ... Michael Moore, or Ted Kennedy, Baraka Obama ect. My point is someone that you would support or agree with in other issues, you are less likely to speak out against when it comes to the issue with hunting for sport than say if Dick Cheney was in ohio broadcasting and bragging about "we all got one" while a dead bird is being dragged along. This has absolutely nothing to do with voting for someone. You could have said "Ok Mr. Kerry not cool" yet still say ... "yeah, I'm not a fan of that at all but that doesn't override my many dislikes of Bush". See what I'm saying ( ... )

I dont really agree with that. If you want an example, last year Bush was interviewed about vegetarians after John Mccain said he thinks they should vote. Bush's response was "I'm glad I had my bacon for breakfast". I didn't say a single word,on my journal or to anyone. I kept it to myself.

man, last year you were sitting across form me eating a Burger King Hamburger that I bought for you for lunch. You weren't a vegetarian/vegan last year. If you were ... you weren't here at school because the first time I met you was during the Spring Semester and you were eating meat. So why would you speak out against a statement like that if you weren't against it then? So that's not a valid argument on your part.

But how about this ... how do you explain this?

In bold huge words at the bottom it says ...
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THIS IS WRONG

That's not attacking my views?
