    Sounds to me like you've got a case there.

    These corporations know everything about you, it's part of their strategy. Their dossiers are alarmingly comprehensive.

    I had no choice about being approached and handed them, so by simple induction I have no choice about consuming them. But I've fooled them, I'm not going to meet the meat consuming obligation they have imposed on me. Resist and defy!
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    Yesterday my daughter was handed a flyer about having family pictures done, this does not mean she has to have them done.

    My thoughts exactly - I can only presume that your I AM A VEGETARIAN badge was temporarily obscured by your anorak. These people are not mind-readers, it is your duty to ensure that your badge is visible at all times.

    Lol great thread! But do you mind not making me laugh while I'm drinking my lunchtime cup of tomato soup - I just sprayed it everywhere. I swear some of it came back up through my nose !
