Novisky Prospekt

It's Nevsky Prospect after the Neva river. It was really nice to see the "Go Vegan" graffiti but as a Russian I was offended by the sidecomment about "most of the kids you see are homeless and just looking for their next meal or a stronger solvent to inhale" followed by "most of the graffiti I saw in these neighborhoods reflected the blossoming 'white power' or 'russia for russians' movements at a time when skinheads have just beaten to death 4 African exchange students in St Peterburg." That statement really paints a horrific generalized picture of Russian youth and I don't think it was in any way relevant to the "Go Vegan" words on the wall or helps our collective vegan cause. Just the fact that the author referred to this worldfamous boulevard as "Novisky" and not "Nevsky" shows how little authority heshe has on the subject of Russian culture. As a Russian vegan I was offended and wish that TracyBrad just pointed out the positive and left the generalizing negative for another discussion.

Thanks Ariel! Will do.

WOW Hugo. You said it all.

Having grown up under an Eastern European dictatorship is partly responsible for me being vegan today... so sorry for the long one.. If I intend to criticize oppressive regimes and dictatorships like Saddam Hussain's or Stalins or Putins for that matter I better not act like a mad dictator myself on a daily basis? Otherwise it is merely hypocritical randomacting of the weakest and most selfdiluted form? In Hollywood movies the "good" guys are easy to spot. They are the ones being unfairly attacked without love and against the odds and young. The "bad" guys are oftentimes already powerful have a spouse and hence "something to lose". At the end of EVERY movie the good guys have taken power and have finally met their love.. the "bad" guys have lost against all odds have lost their spouse etc. Now how did the bad guy become bad? Was he bad when he was powerless was he born bad etc.? We dont know and nobody tells us how it happens We only see the good guy have power and a kiss and The End.. Fact is most of us prove on a daily basis that we would be bloodthirsty selfish pricks if we had as much power as Bush or Saddam. We would not care about humans as we do not care about all the sentient intelligent and emotional beings at our mercy HERE AND NOW! Why should something change if we get even more powerful? that is as selfdiluting as if only I would achieve XXX then I wouldcould finallytruly do YYY hahahaha? Castro promised us democracy once he is in power all dictators have promised freedom once elected do not trust them any more than you trust yourself NOT AT ALL!!!! You are no better than a teen girl screaming give me that nose job pa and Ill be happy take care of all the poor humans and we will take care of the animals even Germans would consider this bad humor and nothing else??? I mean if you are a meat eater in the US or EU today you separate mothers from their babies you let them sleep in their own shit and piss you fist and rape them you hurt them without painkillers and do not take care of their wounds you oftentimes skin them alive no daylight no fresh air for life How do people who criticize Bush or Saddam but eat meat get up in the morning.. how does the mirror survive that much hypocrisy? It is easy to criticize the government or foreign regimes and fundamentalists but that is prepuppetry modus operanti in case we torture and enslave for some personal advantage ourselves only because we have the might or money to do so? No pick ANY Hollywood movie watch it and be aware that YOU are the ugly old bad guy!!! YOU are Al Qaeda YOU are Stalin you are the bad rotten politician who does not care about the environment etc I also dislike liberal social workers who eat meat but want to help the poor wtf BEFORE you start doing good which is applaudable please STOP doing bad Giving money to the Red Cross does not help the child I enjoy raping or the homeless I beat until he bleeds ok???? The Nazis have tried to help a lot of Germans but that does not make up for some other cruelties on their behalf? I.e. mentioning that one is helping cancer children in the AR context can be a DANGEROUS reflection unless.? And dont ask for social security or a health care system if you cannot even spare those who are even weaker than you from LIFELONG torture it is weak childish immature irresponsible and greedy.. WHY SHOULD THE RICH or the government help YOU???? When you cannot do the same????? Why do you behave like a child who has achieved and build nothing but only demands and asks for more and whines when his numbing pleasures seem threatened? 13 of Brazilians are already overweight more than are malnourished. For the First time in history there are more obeseoverweight people than hungry ones causing more economic damage than hunger those people who call vegans skinny are selfdiluted!!! It is perfectly natural and healthy to be able to see your own feet!!! Anyone telling you otherwise is a hypo. Go Vegan! www.GoVeg.com It is easy you can use the mirror again without any vitallies and best of all you can ask for more out of life with a good conscious!!!! The only things worth killing in life are vitallies! Priceless!!!

TESTBUNNY The mankind animal species is considered to be the most intelligent species because we have reasoning and memory abilities right? Well take a look at the whole world around you the news where ever and see if you can come across any "stupid animals" that we defend that have started wars decapitated people raped murdered take drugs abduct and sexually abuse children on and on and on...Need I have to point out that all of these atrocities are done with intention from a species mankind who is considered to be the most intelligent??? Think again "stupid animals" or stupid people???...of which animal activists do not endorse that evil behavior and neither do the animals. About your observation of the vegans who you say you know I can honestly assure you that I am BY FAR from looking anorexic. And btw no doctor or mental health professional would stupidly diagnose vegans as "anorexic" just because they choose to be vegans. Thank goodness that you hopefully are not in those fields. Hi GEOFF asking you to please review my comment to you under the pigeon birthcontrol heading...and another highfive to you with your comment to testbunny!
