I think that it's perfectly okay to offer an opposing viewpoint, as long as that opposition does not lack respect for the other person's beliefs. However, when people blindly preach their own opinions without regard to the fact that they might not be the only one who's "right," or call someone else ignorant because of their thoughts- THATS when I have a problem.

What I can't stand? When people cough-my parents try to explain to others what I want to do with my life.

What will I stand up for? When people talk down/criticize others for their personal beliefs, values, morals, opinions etc.

I am completely mesmerized by this.

I too am not very vocal about it, and I think a club sounds like a great idea. A place to share your thoughts, opinions, ideas, new recipes, anything that would be helpful to upcoming veggies. I'm not very tech savvy, so I'm not really sure how to start something like that up. Would we first create a "vegetarian" tag and go from there?

I really like this one. It is such a short, yet powerful statement that could be used to inspire a person to live their life to the fullest.
