Am I a hypocrite? I am a vegetarian, but last night I swallowed?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am I a hypocrite? I am a vegetarian, but last night I swallowed?

the worm in my tequila. Does that make me a hypocrite, or does a worm even count?
Additional Details
I'm pretty sure I did it on purpose, based on reading my questions from last night. I remember thinking about it...

And I am a vegetarian by choice.

This is a trick question. You tricked me into thinking you swallowed...

(something besides the worm)

Yes, you are a hypocrite. I find that most vegetarians are vegetarians because they want constant attention. It is always me, me, I have to be treated differently than everyone else at the table whose parents taught them to eat what was put before them and be thankful that someone will put food before you.

Think of all the cows and chickens that would never be born if we didn't eat them.

You did not evolve eating seeds and leaves. You evolved eating meat with those seeds and leaves.

Did you know that if you are strictly vegetarian all your life that you will die early from lack of certain B vitamins that are only found in the flesh of animals?

Tequila and worm is kool combination. Was the worm dead? If the worm was dead you are not an hypocrite.

do you swallow your boyfriend too ******? if so then your still killing living things

Don't stress it man, it was pure protein...soaked in complete firewater that probably could remove paint off a car, but hey..it was all about getting the best shot out of the bottle right? i wouldn't let that bother me too much, most vegetarians are full of much larger hypocrisy, like they will where leather boots cause they are fashionable...they won't eat it but they wear it??? Yeah ok, next month they will be a pagan...If you make this choice on your own for your personal reasons, i commend u for at least staying committed, you could always go fess up at a relapse vegetarians anonymous meeting, its just like confession 4 catholics..wipe the slate clean and start over.

No but you might be a cannibal.


tm_tech32
Yep, and that stuff you swallow from your boyfriend, that counts too.


Ms2Pac
no, you were not a hypocrite, just drunk (I hope)...


Christopher
I think you are a loser. What are we supposed to think, "Oh dude, you are so cool for swallowing that worm".

Let me ask you a question, by not swallowing it, would it have come back to life or something? It was already dead.


Lenice G
Did you mean to swallow it or was it an accident? Did you chew it (technically not eating). Sometimes, once we 'fallen from grace' we can be a little more understanding of others who might stray, too.

Moreso than anything else, it would depend on the beliefs that lead you to vegetarianism.

Are you vegetarian beacuse you don't like meat? Or because you don't feel it's right to murder cows, etc.?

If you're only vegetarian as a dietary solution. No, you're not a hypocrite at all. If you are vegetarian because of morals, then of course! A worm is a living creature. What makes it alright to kill him and not a cow?

The worm does count, but no, you're not a hypocrite. You were probably intoxicated, which leads you to another philosophical question: are you responsible for lapses in judgement when an external stimulus (ie. alcohol) clouds it?

Hmm...maybe since you "chose" to drink the tequila, you are responsible, but not a hypocrite.


sha
Depending on your reasons to be a vegetarian? If you think that any kind of living animal shouldn't be eaten, then YES you are a hypocrite. If you are a VEGAN, I am sure you shouldn't have eaten the worm or even drank the Tequilla that had the worm in it.


alrwk_
I would say a worm is "meat" or animal by-product. So YES

You, the *sshole who sends me all that PETA Crap????

Now go eat a cheeseburger. You might as well, because now that you've tasted meat, you can't go back to tofu and greens.

Welcome to my side, freak.

You are not a hypocrite. It happens sometimes but that doesn't make you a non-vegetarian all together. You are being a vegetarian as a choice. What has other people to do with it? You can't keep justifying what you do to everybody. You have accepted that it happened that itself proves that you are not a hypocrite, Right!


Science_Rebel
Was it an accident? if so than no. If you nag at meat eaters to become veggys and then you swallowed the worm on purpose, then yes.


idontkno
yeah it count

No worm in Tequila so that makes you very confused person

First vets save animals life
The worm is insect not an animal.
You were drinking tequila, while you swallow, not looking for worms to have a lunch right?
Finally, I do not know if you apply the term "Hypocrite" accordingly, because this was an accident.

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practice. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning under, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute.[citation needed] A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action while carrying out the same action oneself.

"Vegetarian" is a pretty wide field. From vegans to lactos to lacto-ovos to pescatarians, there's quite a field. It depends on how you feel about it. Anyway, you're the one keeping score. If you didn't like the idea, don't swallow any more worms.
