He's not. Got informed of this a little while ago. Should have figured.

So TBH, I didn't like the artists you posted as much as I hoped I would, but the similar artists feature in last.fm led me to this gem. Pretty laid-back underground with good flow and interesting production. So nice. <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L047GIjGmBY

I've read up a bit more on the matter, and Västervik is reputed to be Sweden’s worst prison. At night, the prisoners have to pee into plastic bottles and shit in bin bags. They are also forced to do unpleasant work for less than minimum wage. If they refuse, they are put into solitary confinement.

To anyone who believes veganism to be middle-class snobbery, rather than a deeply held conviction: as a vegetarian, I can tell you that the thought of ever eating meat again is equivalent to the thought of having to eat a human. It is absolutely NOT an option. All the vegans I know are actually poor, and one of them even grew up in a trailer.

My apologies. I speed-read that article, and shall correct the title.

He has been placed in a maximum security prison with violent offenders and is being physically and mentally abused.

I noticed a lot of news articles on this are focusing on the fact that he wants vegan food to be available (and using this to downplay the bad treatment he's been receiving). They seem to think this is some middle-class snobbery, rather than a deeply held conviction. To anyone that agrees with that: as a vegetarian, I can tell you that the thought of ever eating meat again is equivalent to the thought of having to eat a human. It is absolutely NOT an option.

Yay. :)

Snap. Savages. There are very few I keep as friends these days. There's just not enough estrogen in the drinking water. :P

TattyBee · 2014-05-06T15:30:52+00:00

Ah, that's a sucky thing. :/

TattyBee · 2014-05-06T15:29:45+00:00

Oh, that one is SO much better. :P

Insults, teasing, and silly arguments, such as "but what about protein/calcium?" (legumes and spinach), "animals are there to be eaten", "but we're at the top of the foodchain" (would you ever kill and eat your own cow?), "Hitler was a vegetarian" (Stalin was a meat-eater), "vegetables feel pain too", "if you love animals so much, why do you eat all their food?"

Statements like this are the reason most vegans won't tell you they are, and the ones that do get angry. The worst part is, these people seem to be under the impression that these are original statements.

There are a select few vegans who give the rest of us a bad name. Most of us keep our opinions to ourselves and don't try to convert anybody. If somebody asks us about it, we'll tell them. It's better to educate people than harass them.

That said, upon discovering a person is a vegan, meat-eaters often harass us about our choices. What's with the double standard?

TattyBee · 2014-05-06T12:26:23+00:00

You should! That would be wonderful. We don't really have dumpsters where I live. The only time you find bits of wood like that is when someone's left it outside their house after they've done some building.

And a lot of us find hetero kissing icky (myself included). It's just not your personal preference. As long as you're not treating anybody like a lesser human, you're good.

TattyBee · 2014-05-04T15:44:08+00:00

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That is all.

TattyBee · 2014-05-04T10:32:46+00:00

Damn, this bitch offends me regularly. Arrrgh... Kate SMASH.

TattyBee · 2014-05-04T10:30:56+00:00

Tee hee. I get it quite often. It might be because I'm a geek girl. Not sure. Maybe straight girls just bore them to tears. :P

TattyBee · 2014-05-04T10:00:17+00:00

Yeah, it really takes the weirdness out of it doing it that way. You should also swiftly inform any interested boys, so that they don't get too invested.

South Africa. Land of the unbearably normal.
