Do you respect white supremesists?

thanks I appreciate it.

In all honesty, I am just trying to do what is right. i know it sounds trite, but I strive with all my actions to do what is right... even though I know I don't always do it. I don't expect everyone to hop in to dumpsters too, but I do hope that people will rethink buying too many luxury items with all their newfound poker wealth.

Yall are basicly the fish that clean the undersides of whales, sharks, and the sides of fishtanks.

For one, I don't care if pizza hut isn't there in a year, and would probably prefer if it were gone. If everyone started looking in trash, there would be a lot less waste, and then it would become necesary to find another means of getting food. Which is fine.

I do eat dairy, but I don't eat meat. Basically because of what you said. Not eating the dairy, has almost no point. So I do eat it from the trash. Meat I won't eat from the trash because at this point I have such a negative association with meat, that I am not ready to eat it.

I already have a decent garden and plan to improve it.

In the future I plan to have a farm.

No, I don't. At one point I had an uncle who was close to starving, and at another point I had an uncle in a simalir situation.

Right now none of my extended family is that close to starving as far as I know.

As I'm sure you realize I meant brothers in the more broad sense. Although I don't have any family starving as far as I know, somebody's family is definately starving somewhere.

I don't. And I don't think they actualy do either. But at some point you may have come across a little bit as a jerk to some people.

I wouldn't sweat it though.

It sounds to me that both these things have underlying beliefs associated with them that you aren't willing to accept. You aren't freegan or vegan. You are just a non-meat eating person who eats out of a dumpster. A Dumpstarian, if you will.

Barns?

Just wanted to say I respect you for standing up for an idea and following through with it. There are too many hypocrites in this world.

tyty kurosh.

Now go win those HU 300600lb games.

Hmmm, I don't know what they are called, and i wasn't trying to make fun of you, I just thought it was an appropriate analogy. You all go practicly unnoticed and make society a little bit cleaner by eating some of it's waste.

I'm sorry no offence to you but statements like "I really respect you for standing up for a cause blah blah." are utter crap there are plenty of causes that are horrible and ideas that are crazy/unwise that people are behind and shouldn't be respected for. If you want to give a compliment put a little thought into it and come up with something substantial instead of some mindless MTV awards show "praise".

I vote Vegan for God.

Vegan, Do you really feel that by eating food out of the dumpster you are reducing waste in society? Most food you are eating is biodegradable and will dissappear on its own. Do you do anything special with the containers that the food comes in? or is it thrown back away to end up in a landfill a little bit later down the road?

Veganmav, now that I'm drunk like gildwulf, I have to say that you've been very cool in this thread. You've defended and explained your position very well, and haven't seemed to take offense at all the shots taken at you. You've earned my respect as well as many others I'm sure. I won't start eating from dumpsters any time soon, but I have a better understanding of what you do and why.

Btw, I've been moving more towards a vegetarian diet recently (more out of curiousity to see how it affects how I feel than anything else), can you hook me up with some good resources for it? I want to make sure I'm getting enough protein and I don't really like tofu... I guess what I'm looking for is a beginner's guide or something and google hasn't helped me. If you could give me some advice it would be appreciated.

btw we do recycle after we eat the food.
but also, it is less stuff that I purchase, less packaging that I hafta puchase too.

Well, considering I was directing it at this specific cause and this specific situation, your comments don't apply.

Money2Burn,

way to be a nitpicking jackass. "do you respect white supremacists"... what kind of idiotic argument is that?

and your point about not saving anything since the food is biodegradable is garbage (pun totally intended). veganmav already sort of explained it. if every freegan instead bought the food, what do you think the companies would do? produce more, leading to more waste.

I think my comments do apply, your statement has been requoted by yourself and it is giving general praise to Vegan for the act of standing up for AN idea. I was trying to point out that Vegan could become an ardent activast for the rights of child molesters (not saying that you would Vegan), he would be standing up for that idea, but I think everyone can agree that he shouldn't be respected for it. Anyway I'm tired and being dumb sorry to waste your time.

My point about white supremacists is right on, if you want to have a discussion PM me I would love to try to explain it with a little more rest. I'm not trying to nit pick or be a jackass, you are the one being the jackass by overreacting to my comments. I don't see why you are so offended by the questions I was asking Vegan. I wasn't attacking him, I was legitimately curious and he gave me a sufficient answer as he has given everyone who has asked him serious questions. Even if I was he is perfectly capeable of defending himself as he has shown in this thread. He certainly doesn't need you as his personal guardian jumping on all perceived aggressors with personal attacks. Last, once again I have no idea why you are being so hostile towards me. Yeah, I should have seen the answer to that first question, but like I said I'm tired and the ol' hampster is cramping up from a long day of running.

men2boyz,

don't worry I'm not 12, no need for PMs. The point you're trying to make is pretty obvious. It's just stupid.

Yeah I realized half the answers after I'd posted the questions, but thanks anyway! I had several surfer friends when I was in highschool who did the same thing, they never gave such intelligent reasons for doing it that you have in this thread. Thank you for the enlightenment.

BTW, several nights we had bagels from dunkin doughnuts trash when we were all hammered and they rocked!

Men2boyz... not a twelve year old eh? Could have fooled me. God did someone run over your cat? If so, it wasn't me so [censored] off.

Isn't that the same as ordering the pizza and paying for it? The pizza restaurant uses the same resources when you order it and buy it as when you order it, don't pick it up and then take it from the garbage can.
