    I'm convinced there are a few posters on here who are paid to push the farming agenda and criticise vegans at any opportunity.


    They'd want to get some coaching in how to do this successfully then - some of them are so obnoxious that they'd turn you vegan out of pure irritation.

    Tillage is one, which might be too much of a revelation for Gerry.

    1. Not all land is suitable. Maybe in your vast flat, 100 acre fields in leinster but not in the rocky, wet, hilly land of the west/south/northwest.

    2. If the money was as good as beef etc. why wouldn't farmers go for it now? So you're happy with having farmers lose a good chunk of their livelihood then?

    Bullcrap. "Fly on ****e" right back at you. Show me where there is fun 'poked'. That is the type of passive aggressive crap constantly peddled. As I said above - once you've made it personal- you've already lost the argument and integrity.

    Why the fook would farmers and those who are not screaming veggies stand up against the usual crap and misinformation been peddled as gospel. Or is it that only some should have freedom of expression. Why is that?

    I content on farming and food related threads because that is an area I have expertise in and you have a problem with that....


    Where's my smiley? Have you gone too far down the rabbit hole to even bother with them now? I'm worried for you and those around you.

    I really hope he is a paid shill. The idea of someone spending that much time and working themselves up into such a flap over such a benign mundane thing for free makes me sad.

    And the plant advocates shrill monthly stipend must just have been paid because fook me there out in force today :pac:

    Imagine getting so worked up by the fact about someones else comments- seriously eh that some lose their fillies ? Yup that makes me sad too.

    If it is deemed the amount of beef farming needs to be reduced in Ireland for the sake of the environment than yes some of them are going to suffer of course. Same with coal mining and other industries in the past that had to go.
    But as I said, no one is ever going to tell farmers they can't have cattle so this is not an issue.

    Your posting style is the most insufferable I've ever encountered on the internet. You always have to be right, you say things like "Presume much??" and "de farmer barstewards" and you go back and edit every single post, and lest we forget the constant passive aggressive smileys.
    I don't even know what you're on about half the time so if I see your name in a thread I can't get involved because it's just too irritating seeing you going on and on and on and on and on...
    I'm sure you'll report half of us in this thread to the mods too because you seem like that kind of bloke. Have a nice day.

    Thelonious thanks for putting it in words. Most certainly

    Your posting style is the most insufferable I've ever encountered on the internet.

    The level of attention is truly staggering tbh. You make personal comments practically everytime I reply anywhere.

    If you dont like me posting tough. If you're not going to have a piss get off the pot - then use your ignore button and stop derailing yet another thread with your personal likes and dislikes. As you said insufferable ...

    The fact that people are noticing the weird angry crusade you're on doesn't mean they're worked up, you know. Brought a smile to my face seeing your name by the thread in fact, so much in the world today is uncertain. What's going to happen with Brexit? Will Trump nuke us on accident? The fcuk am I going to watch now Game of Thrones is over? But there remains one certainty, if someone mentions vegans on boards.ie good old Gozunda will be ranting and raving away in it like a lunatic.

    Go outside and pet a cow or something.

    Why you making the discussion personal? Dont like others commenting on the OP asking whats up with those 'vegan lads'. I think we have an answer - theres no discussion- only attack whether thats farmers, those that dont agree with you or anyone else lol. But anyway why so prickly?

    But yeah maybe your right - go hug a cactus :D

    Because your personal crusade and the level of anger and nastiness you bring to it is far more interesting than what people do or don't eat. You train wreck every thread lashing out left right and centre, editing your arguments post hoc, wilfully misrepresenting other people and making personal remarks and insinuations and then when you've successfully scuppered any calm discussion and made a show of yourself start acting like the fact that people are noticing your mental behaviour means you've somehow won the argument.

    That's pretty fascinating, people eating beetroot burgers is boring.

    And it's off again. Yup sending PMs asking you to desist on your weird crusade didnt work funnily enough. But hey it was worth a try. I even asked if you fancied me at one stage - because everytime I commented you were all over me like a rash. But hey there you go.No worries though Thelonious - Its just fuking weird at this stage lol...

    Hint. If you dont like my posts- use the ignore buttons you are just derailing the thread once again...

    To all the other triggered plant advocates. My apologies if you don't like others pointing out the misinformation or discussing the issue at hand.

    The thing is this type of ****e is thrown at practically everyone who comments in these threads. Cant or won't discuss the topic? then attack the poster! As said once you've done that you've lost the argument and any integrity in the discussion. But there you go -

    As the OP said
    About those vegan lads

    What a bunch of opinionated vegetable eaters

    I never found a trainwreck hilarious until this thread steamed over a cliff.

    Have to agree. I seem to have stirred something and became the topic lol. Funny that others dont like others commenting on these topics.

    \_(ツ)_/¯

    But anyway back to the thread- I do see a backlash against veganism as a lifestyle being pushed by corporate interests. There's a lot of money to be made by multi nationals cornering this market - look at the massive numbers of investors in the highly processed fake food and meat industry. Something to be aware of tbh.

    There was a good article on this recently - I'll see if I can find it.

    As for this ...

    Christ you dont half write some absolute bitter drivel. The only "anger" and "nastiness" and vicious "personal" remarks are from your own comments.

    Is someone having an opinion and engaging in discussion so offending for you? Tbh that level of delusion needs to be pointed out. I dont care what you eat or even if you are a vegan. But attempting to shut people up because you don't agree with them and referring to mental behaviour is utterly puerile and beneath any contempt. I have no time for that type of sh1t. More of the same ****e from sycophants no doubt ....

    Edit. Lol. Lo and behold I spoke to soon - yet more anti farming bs. Hi DB...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭dont bother


    Well this thread has entertained my morning.

    Gzunda acting very strange today.

    Careful Gozunda, all that meat eating cant be good for the heart if you're getting so worked up about such minor issue.

    why are farmers so greedy that people becoming vegan are a threat to their few bob?!

    i'd love to see the farming industry in ireland completely collapse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles

    It would already have collapsed if it wasn't massively subsidised. Not that I want it to but that is fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,811 ✭✭✭joe40


    I never found a trainwreck hilarious until this thread steamed over a cliff.

    Just catching up after lunch (roast beef and spuds if anyone interested) and couldn't agree more.

    At least I learned a new term. A "plant advocate" that is a new one on me.

    I'm not particularly invested in this topic, but I knew the pro vegan group were very vocal and passionate. It appears the anti vegan group can be equally so.

    No problem with that by the way, if veganism was adopted as mainstream it would have affects on Irish life and industry.
    There however is not a hope in hell of that ever happening. The population at large will not wilfully give up meat.

    No, no. Big Tofu is coming to getcha. There are bands of vegans with kale madness roving the streets seeing who can be the most cognitively dissonant while beating up anyone who says "cheese" while having their picture taken. Farming is going to be made illegal and they're bringing back hanging for it. What it all boils down to is George Soros wants better preserved corpses for his nefarious experiments so he's pumping us all full of artificial preservatives and steering us away from beef, which sharpens the mind and makes us physically harder to subdue.

    Or else people are just eating less meat because they want to and they can. It's one or the other. Gozunda is only about 150 hours of very angry research away from blowing the whole thing wide open.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,734 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    I eat less meat these days. But when I'm eating meat, I'm spending more money on it to make sure its good and well sourced.


    no vegans were harmed in the writing of this post

    Lol yup one seriously weird crusade. Out of your nine posts here - the majority of them are personal directed comments. And very first comment was exactly that. Not a discussion- but just more weird ****e . Tbh its funny how you and some others would shut down discussion about them vegan lads (sic). Not going to happen and just to let you know I have nothing against you Thelonious btw. I dont care what you eat tbh.

    But as I said if you dont like someones views or opinions - you can always use your ignore button and stop trying to derail every single thread I post on. If you want a discussion- no problem either. There you go...

    yes, if it's loudmouth subsidised over-paid moany farmers that think they run the country, then yes, it would amuse me. dont care what you make of that, im just being honest.

    i suppose it would be amusing more to see them in a flap about it all, rather than them losing everything i guess... but either way, it wouldnt bother me at all. i could grow my own veg and sure, i wouldnt miss the meat anyway.

    Just seeing if you hold everyone to the same standard. We are often told how much farmers care for their animals, especially in Ireland (coming from rural ireland, I largely believe it). So where are the farmers protesting at halting sites? Or puppy farms? Or do they only care about the animals they can make money off? Or is it only the dreaded vegans that are held to such high standards?

    I'm not a vegan but some of the nonsense that gets spouted here about vegans and extremists is crazy.

    Farmers aren’t the ones going round protesting and spouting on about animal rights etc when at the back of their addenda it’s an antui farming group.

    Yes farmers care for their animals because every good farmer knows that happy, healthy animals thrive, animals that thrive make more money.

    but thats my point - the farmers side of the argument is just as you said above - the "ungrateful public" - and the fact that a minority are becoming vegan threatens your purse becoming lighter in the long run if more people choose to become vegan.

    why in the world do farmers bleat and moan ONLY about MONEY ?? thats the baseline of any argument ive heard from farmers on any relevant topic. But what about the farmers money? how come "the public" arent "grateful" for our hard work? why should we be? some of us (vegans) dont NEED you and that, i feel, is what threatens farmers and people associated with it.

    question for you - would you be for or against the legalisation of cannabis cultivation? if against, then that tells me that you are stuck in your ways and unable to see the potential MASSIVE revenue increase, and also a reduction in the harm that gets caused to animals welfare as part of the process of "overfarming" - the overfarming of animals would not have to take place, people are free to become vegans without it being a threat to the purse strings of the farmers, and the farmers income goes through the roof.

    is it a rural thing to be against cannabis as an alternative way to make money for farmers? or have they simply just not thought it out properly. ???

    genuinely interested to know the opinion of farmers on this topic.
    especialy as a means to reduce the harm caused by over farming of animals for meat.

    Something like the farming of cannabis will be done under government licence by a select few. Board NaMona have already staked a claim so you can be sure it won’t be ordinary farmers getting involved.
    But no I’d have no problem seeing it being grown widely.

    I just can’t see it happening.

    During one of those really icy winters about ten years ago a farmer in a tractor gave me and three other cars of people he didn't know a tow up an icy hill in his tractor, took him most of an hour. It was Christmas Eve! My da tried to give him 20 quid to say thanks and he went nuts.

    I grew up in the country and you can't go a week without something happening to someone that they need a farmer to fix. I don't agree with killing animals to eat but farmers are alright!

    Very unvegan of me not to gleefully wish financial ruin on them I know!

    Doubt that is any consideration whatsoever tbh. The demand for quality meat and dairy is what keeps the Irish farming sector being successful.. That there are some bitter individuals who would like to see it go to the wall is fairly pathetic tbh. Would you like other subsidised sectors of the economy to to the wall - say for example the IT industry - just because you didnt use computers or something?

    well instead of farmers moaning about vegans not eating their produce, why arent farmers banding together to protest their right to grow cannabis?

    the priority seems to be to focus in on vegans and people who dont want to eat meat being the "enemy" for not supporting the farmers. grow something else instead, there's plenty of alternatives to meat... why dont the farmers get involved in producing vegan products????? wouldnt take much to grow the ingredients for vegan stuff, wouldnt even take up much space on the field,

    my thought is that they (the farmers) should stop giving out about more people becoming vegan, and focus on their own plan to increase their own incomes. it's similar to the dole heads, why should everyone else have to worry about how much money farmers are making or not making.

    and sure look - we havent had it be sunny and hot this summer yet, so maybe thats another reason they are targeting vegans at the moment, because if the sun was out they'd be moaning about that. "too dry to grow me crops" etc etc...

    Doubt that is any consideration whatsoever tbh. The demand for quality meat and dairy is what keeps the Irish farming sector being successful.. That there are some bitter I individuals who would like to see it go to the wall is fairly pathetic tbh. Would you like other subsidised sectors of the economy to to the wall - say for example the IT industry - just because you didnt use computers or something?



    They dont.



    is it a rural thing to be against cannabis as an alternative way to make money for farmers? or have they simply just not thought it out properly. ??? genuinely interested to know the opinion of farmers on this topic.
    especialy as a means to reduce the harm caused by over farming of animals for meat.

    You do know growing cannabis is illegal and smoking it is bad for your health? And the fact that our climate is not suitable for growing same?[/QUOTE]

    shows how little you know about the cultivation of the cannabis plant then doesnt it?

    why are you not out demanding it be allowed in this country instead it's always "stick to the plan and annoy everyone until we get more money". the status quo.

    evrytyhing else in the post was just waffle

    Also and as well, you should try to keep "in" with fellas who own tractors and diggers and things, as well as acres and acres of land in which a buried body might never be found. Just sayin'. :D

    sure the same could be said to you to keep "in" with anyone with fists or a kitchen knife who lives near a canal.

    anyway wait, have we degraded now to death threats?!

    you are a funny little man

    Lol. Seriously. You are a cannabis growing expert? Really. Theres a very good discussion over in F&F about that very subject including exactly why our climate Is NOT suitable.

    But yes it is illegal and smoking it is bad for your health.

    Why the fuk would anyone demand something which a) is illegal b) is not suitable for Irish growing conditions and c) is bad for you.


    All so some can spend their time stoned out of their tiny minds? Nope not a starter.
