More Vegan Idiocy, UK-Style
Well, it seems as if the vegan community in the UK have their knickers in a knot again. But this time around, it’s not about the normal vegan “causes du jour”.
This time, they’re apparently “outraged” over the UK’s new 5-pound banknote. They’re up in arms because the new polymer banknote “is not vegan”.
It seems that small amounts of animal products – tallow, specifically – are used during the manufacturing process. So that makes the new notes “unacceptable.”
Silly me. I always thought banknotes were money – not food. But apparently vegas must eat them.
Talk about yer “green” diet! I guess I need to learn more about vegan idiocy practices. (smile)
IMO the best response was from one guy in the UK. He’s offered any vegan who finds the new 5-pound unacceptable the opportunity to get rid of those “icky” banknotes in exchange for a pound – presumably a pound coin, which contains no animal products.
No word on how many takers he’s had so far. (smile)

Do vegans drive cars? They are powered by dead dinosaurs.
hahah checkmate!
A Vegan, A Cross-fitter and an Feminist walk into a bar……
How do I know?
Because they told everybody within the first fucking minute.
But what would a VeganFeministCrossfitter brag about first?
That’s too funny, JAOD. It’s so true. You can go years not knowing certain things about a person you’re actually familiar with but within minutes of meeting one of those, you hear about that shit from him/her/it.
And we could give a sh*t about it too.
Maybe they ought to use pig grease in all the banknotes. Maybe that would cause a mass exodus of a certain type.
A vegan Crossfitter wouldn’t be both for very long.
Lots of beans.
Lots and lots of beans.
Which explains a lot of the noise that comes from vegans…
Except that no amount of beans will enable an avid Crossfitter to maintain muscle mass for very long.
being a dumocrap!
Seriously, we need a zombie apocalypse so people get a ltitle more focused on day-to-day survival and a little less on how many ways they can find to be butthurt.
Eating 5 pound notes is probably cheaper (and better tasting) than the average UK vegan diet….
The snowflake vegans don’t handle cash, their moms gave them debit cards for their allowance.
Bad news. the new notes use tallow in the manufacturing of the plastic pellets used to form the new notes. The same pellets that are used to make debit cards. I guess their gripe about the animal content of the money is not that they have to touch it, but more that it is an animal by-product that produces suffering in the donor animal. Very stupid either way.
The reason they’re called vegans is that they really do come from Vega, which is 25 light years away from Earth and has a dust belt similar to Earth’s Oort Cloud. They probably call us Oortians.

I don’t think alien politics should be inflicted on another planet. They already have their own planet. They can just piss off and go home!
The Ant People of Rigel 6 are meat eaters…
The Twilight Zone episode was based on their book…
Don’t get on the ship, it’s a cookbook !!!
It’s the Sepoy Rebellion all over again. Well, except that the Sepoys could fight.
And the Sepoys’ had an actual religious beef–no pun intended.
Actually, hardcore vegans want all animal products removed from everything, everywhere. It’s not just a diet thing for them; they really do believe in animal rights that strongly.
So yes…yes, I can see the animal rights people going all bugnutty over that five pound banknote. I say, use that fiver to buy a nice tall glass of STFU.
I wonder how they’d react when you tell them how many animals die as a result of farming.
I have no idea, to be honest.
Let’s face it; every time one life form eats, another life form dies. There is no way around this, no matter how you slice it or dice it. I agree that senseless slaughter should never be condoned. That said, we are still a meat-eating species, and we still need to consume animal products.
To paraphrase, “The Lion King”:
Cub: But,don’t we eat the antelope?
Lion: Yes, but we die and become grass and the antelope eat us.
Organic farming is a lot more environmentally-unfriendly than most people realize.
When one becomes convinced that there is no moral difference between a human being and a cockroach, this is the type of behavior one engages in.
It is an insanity with it’s own internal logic. Proving, again, that however logical one is, beginning from false premises and proceeding by logical processes one will nonetheless be rationally wrong.
Or, as we say in the computer world: GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out)
I must say that I had to laugh at so many of these comments! “powered by dead dinosaurs” – good stuff!
I was also wondering something. Would Soylent Green be acceptable as Vegan chow? I mean it comes from an animal (man) but man is responsible for all of the suffering done to our formerly virgin world. That might be a conflict. . .
No, not soylent green. The Vegans would use soylent yellow, which comes form soybeans.
Dear UK Vegans;
In a sincere attempt to alleviate your concerns about the new non-vegan 5 pound note, I would be willing to accept delivery of all your unwanted 5 pound notes with my assurances that they will disposed of properly. And by disposed of properly, I mean they will be exchanged for US currency. Shipping address is SFC D, c/o TAH. Thank you, and enjoy your veggies.
No pound cake references yet?
This pound cake tastes, um, fatty.
Waiter: “Today’s dessert special is a toasted, strawberry-glazed pound cake.”
Diner: “I’m vegan. What year is the pound cake? I don’t eat any printed in 2016.”
Not applicable. The traditional pound cake recipe used butter, not tallow. And it also used eggs. So it wouldn’t be acceptable to vegans anyway. (smile)
Hey, I’m trying. Damn vegans even screw up my jokes.
That’s what those fuckers do, take the joy out of every aspect of being alive….
But the Cause is Serious Stuff, not a laughing matter!
This assumes the vegan actually knows that. Oh, I know some likely do, but years ago I was in a class with a card-carrying veganazi PETA chick who didn’t believe me when I told her where her fancy *real leather* jacket came from.
Oh that must have been….. Epic!
Yeah, her response was an especially-bitchy “Hello, it’s LEATHER, not fur!”
Stupid self-righteous bitch.
Operative word there is stupid. I wonder where the hell she thought leather came from?
There you go, assuming that “think” is something these people do.
Well, I pretty much wrote her off at that point, but had the conversation continued, my guess is that her answer would’ve been something along the lines of “the leather store,” or some similarly-inane shit.
This chick proved the saying that some females exist for no other reason than to be a life-support system for a pussy.
Anybody know what was in that “yummy” pound cake we received with some C-ration meals? It sure had longevity; I recall getting some in “the Nam” that had 1950’s date stamps. It must have had some serious preservatives in the recipe.
“More bank notes?”
“No thanks. I’m trying to watch my weight.”
“Man! That was disgusting!”
“What?”
“The men’s room. Some body just took a 50 pound crap. Smells like a mint in there.”
Peppermint? Or spearmint?
Somebody stop me!
What da fuck?
What a bunch of fucking tossers.
You left out poofters!
Fookin’ wankahs!
The perpetually offended won’t be satisfied until they can dictate how everyone else ought to live….every day I am reminded more of the old Heinlein quote: The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.
Speaking for myself (and apparently quite a few of you here) you can count me among the surly curmudgeons….freedom for me and freedom for thee….eat meat, eat salads, eat dirt…I don’t give a shit…hunt, don’t hunt, own a gun, don’t own a gun…you get the idea. Freedom means you and I each get to do what we want as long as what we want doesn’t infringe on the rights of others, that’s where it gets dicey…I’m also a huge fan of folks paying their own way, you pay for your shit and I pay for mine…if you have 4 kids and can only afford 2 you shouldn’t expect me to cover the other 2 for you….your company makes some bad choices? Go out of business, start over and don’t make the same dumb choices….don’t expect me or my neighbors to front you the money to stay afloat without a little something something for us in return…if I’m forced to be an investor I ought to be able to able to get some sort of return.
But lefties and vegans all want the same thing to “help” you have a better life, on their terms of course. They don’t want you to be free to be a dumbass or a genius they want you to live how they determine is best for everyone….fuck those people and fuck anyone who knows what’s best for other people’s lives….
Was it Santana who said ‘if you forget the lessons of the past, you repeat them’, or something like that?
How many times does a collectivism have to fail before those dopes get it?
Santana said he had a Black Magic Woman, Santayana said what you indicated…
Apparently it must fail eternally because some turds are unable to see above the rim…
Thank you. I always get those two mixed up. One is music, the other is philosophy.
I’m thinking Carlos Santana is much more enjoyable to listen to…something about his guitar skills makes that music amazing, plus he’s been around since before Auto Tune so you know those are actual skills and not computer based bullshit…
VOV, I once met Carlos Santana. He was a local who had come out of the Mission District in San Francisco, and could sometimes be seen in Marin County without any entourage or paparazzi. Sometimes a watering hole would have an open mike night, and it must have been a strange experience for some just-starting garage band to have Santana sit in on a session.
That would be a cool jam session.
Then there is Santana the Kiowa war chief, who died in a Texas prison in 1878.
Texans have to keep the Kiowa distinguished from the singer and not confuse either of them with the philosopher.
Satanta, I believe
IMHO there is no hope for those fools. One definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing while expecting different results each time.
Interesting that Spiegel Online has an article entitled “Normalbürger versus Elite/
Der Politiker als Übermensch” today.
I think these idiots believe they are Übermensch.
MILLIONS of innocent plants are slaughtered every year to feed this world’s vegetarians. There IS competition for said plants, thus I see fit to aid them by hunting and eating herbivorous animals and encouraging others to do the same, YOU’RE WELCOME, hippies!!!
The scent of bacon cooking arouses my appetite and makes my mouth water. Does a freshly mowed lawn do the same for vegetarians?
Well, that scent of grass does make geese happy. They know where to land, graze and fertilize.
API, I thought I was clear. I said they are from Vega, in the constellation Lyra, and they should all go back there and leave us omnivorous souls alone.
Their brains are about as rusty and non-functional as a Chevy Vega, rumor had it that those clunkers began rusting either as soon as they left the assembly line or the Dealers’ showroom floors!
P.S. IMHO vegans are a lot like geese, they have about as much common sense as the domesticated variety!
I saw something on the algorenet a while back where some chick tried to claim that “humans are the only creatures that kill their own.” Somebody else immediately rebutted her by asking if she ever watched the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, then said, “No, we’re just the only ones who bother to feel bad about it when we do.”
As my 6-year old grandson wisely observed: “Hey, plants are living things, too.” Don’t the vegans accept that scientifically proved fact that plants have feelings? Just like glowbul warmning we know from scientists this is a true factoid. The new agey types can even hear/feel that tomato screaming as you slice into it. We all should just eat rocks.
The more I see of this ‘us’ vs. ‘you’, the more convinced I am that deep down inside, these people are lemmings. They practice Lemmingism and expect everyone else to follow them, even if they run right out into the middle of a busy, unlit, heavily-used, high traffic volume highway.
They really are that stupid.
Go Lemmings Go!
Veggies are what food eats.
Star Trek is truly prophetic!
There is reference in the early stuff to “The Vegan Tyrrany” bringing woe to the local part of the galaxy. Apparently someone saw these loons as a coming threat back in the 60s!
End the Vegan Tyrrany! Free the Galaxy!
What? …..
Vegans are people who don’t eat meat or dairy products?
Huh…. Here I thought they were called “vegans” because they drove Chevy Vegas.

What the hell was I thinking.
Guess I need to go into town more often.
I’ll just leave this here for y’all to chew on like a hamburger or steak:
So very true…
Vegan is the Indian word for Piss Poor Hunter.
“Tastes like chicken.”
“Well, then, why not just eat chicken?”
“Shit. I’ll get back to you on that.”
Beer is made with barley and hops, both of which are plants.
That’s as vegan as I get.
Whiskey is made with corn, and wine with grapes. That’s vegan, isn’t it?
Vegetables go great with a fat, juicy medium-rare steak.
And a large draft beer.
IMHO there is a very special place for ALL OF God’s creatures, it’s right next to the potatoes & gravy!
There’s room for all of God’s critters. Right next to the taters and gravy.
SFC D. You owe API a deluxe tofu burger. He beat you by mere seconds but he beat you.
Only once did I eat tofu, and I fried it in bacon grease and ate it with said bacon.
Who gives a shit what vegans think anyway? They’re skinny jeans wearing, mocha chacka latte drinking doofus hipsters anyway….dudes what fit comfortably in skinny jeans aren’t exactly intimidating if you know what I mean…
Except that I hate to see what should be a grown man cry.
(No. No I don’t.)
I’m sure most of them are the types we’ve seen videos of bawling, screeching and pouting over Trump, election victory. Like the hipsters one sees on flannel sporting a beard who look like any one of us could stick a feather up his ass and use him for a dart that can’t even change a tire.
Chocolate is the only food anyone should eat.
Well, maybe pizza.
Chocolate and pizza, and maybe popcorn.
Maybe Chocolate, pizza, popcorn and summer sausage on crackers.
Or maybe Chocolate, pizza, popcorn. summer sausage on crackers, and bacon mac & cheese.
Chili, tamales, tacos, T-bone steak, venison sausage, BBQ…
BBQ, *drool, slobber…*
If they stick five pounds up their ass, will it bio-degrade in a timely fashion?
That is the bigger question I think.
Wouldn’t work. Their heads are blocking further additions.
Here is one vegan who will not need to worry how they make the currency.
