Listen, 7$ can get you alot here, why not the 3:50 grilled cheese with some milk?
But NOOO you spent on 4 bags of chips.
Okay, that one is a thing that really gets me.
Wtf is the point of doing that? You could have gone for 2 or 3 things with the chips, but noooo...

What bums me out is how inefficient humanity is when it comes to environmental sustainability.
That and the spread of disease. I imagine with proper quarantining procedures we could eliminate many terrible diseases. However that's apparently an evil thing to do so we'll never do it. Thus the diseases continue to spread.

Some of it is that many diseases just spread far too rapidly to quarantine, thus making such an effort utterly pointless.
Another is that if we quarantined these things all the time, that'd be a hell of a lot of money that our Govts don't currently have. That and the fact that it's difficult to do.
However, on the plus side, the more we have to tackle these things, the better Humanity gets at counteracting these things with modern medicine, and can even show us how to tackle other problems, and the human immune system can learn from many of these things and make us and possibly our descendants immune to certain strains.

Are you vegan ? Or would you like to be killed and then eaten ?
See, likely you are doing the same .

No, its the fact they get 7$(FOR FREE FROM THE SCHOOL!!!!!!!) a day for a nice, filling healthy lunch, we serve alot. And they waste it on junk food for their kids. IF they where to buy the chips with a warp or a sandwich, then they would be cool. but this is just stupid IMO.
Well, he didn't literally do the same, but the very same argument he leveled against them can be used against him, if he isn't vegan. If he actually is vegan, I apologize . If he actually would like being killed and then eaten… he's quite strange !

What does being or not being a vegan have to do with using fireworks to blow up people's cats for gaks and giggles?

To the "oh I have no faith" kind of self-absorbed folks of the world, here's something of a challenge from me:
Spend less time in nihilism and actually help the world. Nothing elicits a groan from me more than someone who is so absorbed in being miserable and doing nothing to help the world around them, as if their insufferable pessism will somehow improve the world.
In this poster's humble opinion, it is all just them going for fashion. Because nothing is cooler than the guy who is oh-so-detached from the world. What a badass. Pffft. Stop wallowing in self pity and go make a difference in the world. Doesn't make sucky stuff go away, but the sucky stuff sure doesn't excuse you from chipping in.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings ! Now you can come back to pretending you've not understood me perfectly the first time around.

I seriously don't know what you're on about.

Let me spell it our for you.
Random kid enjoy blowing up cats, and says it's his right to blow up cat. Master of ordinance goes to him and say “You wouldn't want to be blown up, so you shouldn't blow up cats”. And certainly that it's cruelty driven by egoistic pursuit of pleasure.
Likely, master of ordinance enjoy eating animals, and says it's his right to eat animals. Some random vegan goes to him and say “You wouldn't want to be eaten, so you shouldn't eat animals”. And certainly that it's cruelty driven by egoistic pursuit of pleasure.
See a pattern emerge ?

See, none of your posts stated the "you wouldn't want to be eaten..." part of that, so it read solely as if you were linking veganism to blowing things up. The few words where you attempted to insert the necessary context made no sense.
This an issue with your grasp of the written English language.
