Thread: Hypocrisy at my Catholic School

A joke? Or are you actually serious? Hard to tell.
Hard to tell a cynical joke from a seriously hypocritical principle cause too many people use that kind of "reason" and actually mean it.

I never quite understood "vegetarians" that are okay with eating fish.
Never heard of ash sunday before. What's the symbology behind refraining from meat on that day?

Don't think I'd have a problem on your school hawhee, cause I just loooooove fish. Especially Tuna.

Not all vegetarians are vegetarians for religious or philosophical/moral reasons. Some do it for the health benefits alone - eating fish serves as a way of nutritionally rounding out the diet without resorting to red meat or poultry.

Yeah that would actually make sense alot more.
But I know many vegetarians that will say: "Meat is murder... and and and... It's unhealthy... so so so... I eat fish only"

I never had much trouble understanding people that refrained from meat for health reasons, allthough I personally never experienced meat to make me sick or unhealthy.
All I'm aware of that Meat CAN be extremely dangerious, but ONLY if you aren't carefull about handling uncooked meat.

Now what is ash sunday and why don't Catholics eat meat on that day? Anyone?

I can't believe those fucking hypocrites.... They say that us atheists don't know shit about the bible (which most of them haven't even read anyway >_<) but don't even know their damn symbols‼

It's ash Wednesday. There's also palm Sunday and Easter, but those are the only holy days in lent that land on Sunday.

They don't eat meat because they are fasting and when you fast you aren't supposed to eat meat. Except the magic fish meat, that doesn't count.

Actually, when you fast you son't eat anything. Lent is simply a less extreme version of that.

This reminds me of when we went to Spain and some people in my class were vegetarian... So they gave them chicken. Because chicken isn't meat.

Yeah, I've run into that. Why do some vegetarians say it's okay to eat chicken and fish? It makes no sense.

Fish die the worst deaths of all animals people eat. They get jerked out of their habitats by hooks in their mouths and suffocate to death. Imagine taking a bite of a hamburger and suddenly getting a hook in your mouth, being jerked under water in a lake, and drowning to death.

I like fish as well but it was more because of the principal.

I'm a vegetarian and this shit confuses the hell out of me. Some people do it for health reasons, but other people, like my ex-girlfriend, are just crazy. She was a vegetarian because she didn't want to kill animals, but she didn't apply this to fish. She even tried to get me to eat fish because she said I was to skinny and need protein. True enough, but fish smells like shit. If I eat any animals again it's gonna be BEEF; steak's the only meat I ever miss.

Was with another girl once who would only eat chicken. I don't know how they do it, the texture of meat is the whole reason I stopped eating it. It just evokes flesh, and eating flesh seems strange to me.
