Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 I wasn't using the intoxicant analogy in tandem with the vegetarian issue. I was saying the logic is the same--not very logical. I could have used any analogy. How about, " I don't have cancer, but i kind of have this malignant tumor--but I don't have cancer. " For me, it's either a yes or no thing. Either you have cancer or you don't. Either you're a veg or you're not. If someone wants to use drugs & alcohol while being a vegetarian, that's their business. And a totally separate issue, at that. --- Mr Tito Domine <tito_domine wrote: > > Ditto. Fish is not a vegetable. That is something > > that > > always irked me too.
