I hate it when people think that individual effort doesn't make a difference in the greater scheme of things.

Sure, when you consider that you are one in more than six billion people, of course it doesn't seem like your actions will have any effect on anything global.  But, COME ON.  For pity's sake (because I've never heard of anything more

wait a second
no eggs???
how do you plan to eat a cheese danish or something? or anything? everything has eggs!!!!
;)

I know, but that's the beauty of my non-absolutist vegetarianism...the way I'm dealing with eggs right now is by not making myself anything that involves eggs for their own sake, like omelets and stuff. Which, for me, is a substantial sacrifice since omelets are by far my favorite breakfast food and I used to have them often. So I'm cutting down on eggs, but not comletely eliminating them, since then I really would be pretty much confined to salads haha.

ahhhh but the point is not personal sacrifice- it's to save the animals!
that point doesn't work!
you're not saving the chickens!
;)
nice try though.
keep trying- we'll see who wins...

Haha. I refuse to play this game because I have nothing to prove. Buuuutt to clarify, when I said sacrifice, I didn't mean personal sacrifice on my part; I said "sacrifice" to emphasize my significant cut-back on egg eating, since a large portion of the eggs I ate before were in omelet form, since I liked them so much....whiiiiiich is my small contribution to saving the chickens.

The closest I ever came to debating was yesterday, when I was trying to prove to my friend that Al Gore is awesome. Though it was a text message debate, so it was actually very short and choppy when you think about it. I definately won though :D

Awww, poor Elisheva. People can be jerks. He was probably displacing his anger at someone else towards you (I seem to remember something about that from psychology). But you handled that very well...good job :)
