      People calling themselves 'vegans' while wearing leather shoes, leather belts, leather jackets etc. You refuse to eat an animal's meat but it's okay to wear its skin? Doesn't make sense to me.

      Many vegans like to recycle; thus using leather (excluding some exotics) could be viewed as merely recycling the leftovers of animal production for foodstuffs. Plus, if the hides are valuable then less harm will occur to those hides in life. This is something people who work in the industry will tell you. Though there are still ways to beat and bruise animals into submission without damaging the hides; it is somewhat of an art form actually. Also, not all vegans care about animals. Some are merely interested in optimal health; athletes, sports heroes, former presidents, academics, nutritionists, the list goes on… Veganism is essentially an umbrella which takes in a wide spectrum of priorities.

        'Vegan' is hip! .. and it's cool and important to preach and tell everyone about.

                      I guess you're right… But grilled seitan and bacon tempeh are solid alternatives if one doesn't wanna eat a fellow animal kept in horrible conditions and slaughtered just for tasting good...

                        I eat meat.  I strive to buy meat from an animal that has had a decent life….I don't want to eat an animal that has had an awful life, but that does not mean I have to give up my omnivorous tendencies....

                          No G. You must surrender your meat to the United Nations. It is all part of agenda 21 and the new world order. The vegan Illuminati are coming.

                                    When you are an asshole, it does not matter if you are a vegan or omnivore, you are still an asshole. My point of view.

                                            The Australian property market is completely and utterly mental. Yet anyone who expresses that opinion is called a "Doom and Gloomer", and considered crazy.

                                            Today a two bedroom mid century house in Mosman and a 19th century three bedroom house in Balmain both sold for around $2.3 million.

                                            Yes, they're in desireable neighbourhoods, but they're not particularly big places, and need a certain amount of renovation work. Though I suspect that the Mosman house will shortly have a date with a bulldozer. Demolition is a popular pastime.
