Dear Tru Ninja,

Hello. This is bo_sox48 from the WebDiplomacy PR Department. Typically this doesn't fall under my jurisdiction, but given that you have now posted this to our website, I would like to extend this public service announcement from the offices of the CDC:

It has come to our attention that your child, who we will refer to as X in order to keep a minor's identity anonymous, has a serious and often incurable condition called vegetarianism. In order to combat this awful condition, we would appreciate it if you would bring your child to the nearest hospital immediately so he can be quarantined until we have more information regarding the potential spread of this disease to countless other innocent souls. We can't guarantee that your son will be healed, but if we take him into isolation as quickly as possible, we may be able to save other innocents from the same fate.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will forward your messages back to the CDC offices in Atlanta.

+1 Bo.
PS: What's wrong with being a vegetarian?

-1000. Bo that's not funny. But I guess expected from the retard that you are. To make light of current health crisis throughout our country and the world and to draw an annology to Tru's child is fucked up.

Don't worry bo, ssoren can't REALLY give you -1000.

Can I petition that a -1000 feature be added? I feel it will really have an impact.

"-1000. Bo that's not funny. But I guess expected from the retard that you are." So I take it you're also wondering who made bo the PR guy?

"To make light of current health crisis throughout our country and the world and to draw an annology to Tru's child is fucked up."

First reaction: Did we read the same thing?
Second reaction: Of course we did. So what am I missing here? Apart from mocking with vegetarianism and I guess a little bit with illnesses, I don't see the harm done.

Bo, vegetarians love bacon. It's not like we aren't people.

Steephie
I didn't understand at first either, but epidemic and CDC both get some people to think "Ebola".

With a rare +1 for Phil

Yeah, bo, just because vegetarians don't eat meat doesn't mean they don't like bacon. That's like punching a homeless guy in the mouth because he doesn't like money. :)

Take, for example, vegetarians from the Congo. They may have a strict diet of carrots and greens, but they have an obligation to eat people, as well.

I'm a carnivore by nature, but I can choke down a potato and carrots when they're cooked in a beefy broth with life-giving meat.

Now, for the record, if God didn't want us to eat meat, then He wouldn't have made cows out of food.

@jamiet: he ate his eggs. I saved the bacon from a horrible fate and ate it myself, tho.

@phil_a_s: Thanks. But..
@ssorenn: I thought about Ebola for a second too but immediately discarded that thought because you were talking about "current health crisis throughout [America]".

Honestly, that still seemed like a sensible move.
I really fail to see how a health crisis in America and Ebola add up.
Feel free to explain though.

I actually don't care what you think stephiie, so no, I won't explain.

Wait a second, homeless people don't like money?

LET'S GET 'EM!!

Ship em to the Congo, I say.

Lol, nothing us wrong with being vegetarian. It's a joke, chill out.

Was anyone not chilling out?

Keep calm and eat bacon

Bo, everyone was calm by the time you got here. Did you not read anything after that first reply from ssorenn? Or can you just not tell? If it's the latter, you should probably work on learning social cues.

Thanks for getting defensive. Once again, chill out and eat vodka gummy bears with me.

Perhaps your child's secretly thinking of converting to Judaism, and is showing his rebellion by taking out his aggressions on that most un-kosher (and delicious) of foods? :p

"Ship em to the Congo, I say."

THEY EAT PEOPLE DOWN THERE! (Also, bacon.)

I was chill and making a joke. Please don't hurt me, I don't have a defensive side.

"Perhaps your child's secretly thinking of converting to Judaism, and is showing his rebellion by taking out his aggressions on that most un-kosher (and delicious) of foods?" Or maybe converting to Islam and taking his aggression out on the haram food? If either of those are the case, start buying turkey bacon.

Or be like me - eat real bacon despite what Judaism says.

im vegetarian Lol

You realize that if you eat bacon, you're not Jewish.

We thought about moving to the Congo and eating people bacon.

Strangely, people aren't on the list of animals not to be eaten by Jews. Of course they're also not on the list of animals that may be eaten, either.

Must be discretionary.

Do Congolese Jews eat people bacon, then? That may well be the only type of bacon they can eat.

Ladyfingers taste like ladyfingers

I love how everyone skipped over a very important fact here. Vodka gummy bears? These exist? And where can I buy them/how can i make them?
