please do NOT be offended- for i have no one else to ask two very important questions:
1. is semen from a non vegan male considered vegan?
2. what about hair weave? if a chick gets human hair sewn into her head, is THAT considered vegan? this one really bewilders me because though its 'human' it is still an 'animal' product.
help, i hope i havent offended anyone. i dont know any other vegans and i tried to 'google' the answers, but nothing.
thanks so much.

chicken poops --> carrot grows in poopy soil (thus gaining elements that were once poop) --> i eat a carrot ---> carrot becomes part of my body---> i die and become compost ----> new carrots grow in my composted body ----> shaolinbunny eats the carrots
Okay, you win Baypuppy!!!!!!!
But I think I've lost my appetite for a few days now though. ;D
Particularly for carrots.
Spuy767---you should hook up with CV1. Something tells me you guys have a lot in common. ;)
ahhh the circle of liiiiife (insert lion king background music...) i personally think it would be really cool to eat fruit from a tree that was planted on top of an ancestor's grave.
have you all seen The Fountain?
i think that it is fine becuase you're not adding to the need for more products. like if you buy cheese then the store will restock on that cheese and the chain of suffering will continue, am i right? however, this guy is most likely not going to rush out and drink a gallon of milk followed by a steak simply beacuse someone swallowed.
sorry if that was crude haha. that's how i see it though :)
Chemo-therapy patients may use wigs, which is often made by Locks for Love.
Not all hair donated to Locks for Love is used for wigs. Unusable hair (too damaged, short, etc.) is sold I believe (at least that's what my hairdresser told me). As someone who has donated to Locks for Love many times I prefer to believe that my hair was used to help some little kid feel better about themselves.
As for the sperm issue, I'm with Spuy767, this is getting over thought. If you really think about it, probably nothing is vegan considering the ground is "contaminated" with animals rotting from decades (years, etc) past.
heh heh, i hope you didn't like carrots too much.... i just ate a zillion of them.... yummmm carrots..... but i am alive and well... i can't possibly be in your foods.... then again you are in WA right? i lived there for most of my life.... perhaps we did share some elements at some point ;)
I'm sure at some point I've breathed in an atom or two that has passed in and out of your body when you lived here. :D
Why didja leave WA? It's so nice here. Love it here.

I think Spuy Guy thinks the issue is overthought because his mind is busy thinking about other less technical things... ;D

Precisely, things like vaginal fluids. In addition to figuring out who in the hell CV1 is.

Well, I believe he's only made a brief appearance in this thread....http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=16624.15
He just seems to be the kind a guy (like you) who doesn't want to overthink things either, if you know what I mean. ;) ;D
I'm quite afraid I don't know exactly what you mean.
I'm not sure that the real issue here is about human hair or body fluids...
If you don't feel comfortable "using" these things, then don't. You shouldn't be so worried about we think. :D
I'm quite afraid I don't know exactly what you mean.
Did you check out the link?
What's the name of this thread again?
Well, never mind. Nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about anyway--it's not just you Spuy Guy.
I'm just waiting for CV1 and Habby to make their reappearances.
Why do I get caught up in this stuff anyway? I fear I have only myself to blame....
Let's get back to talking about semen. ;D
I've lost it. I spend too much time on this site.
I'm quite afraid I don't know exactly what you mean.
CV1 made a brief appearance on another thread (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=16624.0) that got off topic. I'm not exactly sure what she means, either, but you're a fun addition to the group.
I'm hetero so I don't "want" any from a vegan guy. ;-)
Look dude, it's Ok to admit things here. we are all friends. I'll admit that I like to sing along with Striesand and Cher sometimes when I'm in the shower. Just by looking at your pretty pic is making my internal "gaydar" meter go off the charts. I mean, if you and I were in the shower and I put a wig on, or a least a towel over my head, and bent over, would it feel the same as a vagina or not? Anyway i think you're just dreamy!
Interesting thread.
My feeling = veganism is spiritual in nature based on Love/"Do no harm."
Therefore, if no harm to any person/sentient occurs, a loving vegan lifestyle is followed.
Our challenges are whether our spirituality is compromised by 1) our personal "slips-ups/ooops;" 2) personal ignorances (not knowings like Veronica66's question) in making choices that we initially think are vegan but after thought or discussion decide aren't vegan, adjusting for the future decisions; and 3) any personal/sentient associations with non-vegans that may result in compromising our own spiritual vegan values because we love those persons/sentients with whom we choose to associate.
* * Semen is meant primarily for reproduction ... not consumption ... correct ? ? ? So, other uses while fun/nutritive may be suspect as it relates to spiritual veganism.
* * Hair for those that would benefit with an increase in sense of well-being or worth would fall more into the vegan spirituality than selling it (from whatever source) to the "Rich & Famous" for purposes of their vanity and feelings of elitism over others.
Any responses?
p.s. sbunny i left for grad school :o NY sucks big time compared to WA. what part you live in ? i was in the south sound area!! if you are around there i'm sure we shared some air!
I live east of Seattle over by the Cascades. Sometimes the wind comes in through the Cascades from a southwesterly direction, so I'm sure some of "your air" made it over here! :-)
Baypuppy, we are having WAY too much fun on this thread, I think. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
CV1--So glad to have you back! What took you so long?
Spuy Guy--Now you know what I'm talking about, eh? I had a feeling you guys might hit it off. ;)
Now all we need is Habby to show up, to make this thread complete. ;D
I think that may be the funniest thing I've ever read. Baypuppy, you really crack me up!!! ;D
last time i checked with my hetero malefriends, vaginal and anal sex feel different. well, at least that is what my male friends who have done both have told me. possessing only a faux penis, i can't admit i know much.
Well miss baypuppy you might be right about that. Though i highly doubt that mr. spuy767 could tell the difference between either you or i if we went down on him. not that you would want to. i think spuy (aka mr cunning linguist) would not be able to to tell which of us was milking his little thimble to see his drip drop of sperm he says he produces. You are funny miss baypuppy. i like you. maybe i can come visit up in ny sometime and we can have some cocktails. if i get drunk enough maybe you will let me borrow your faux penis and give it a whirl. who knows, i might like it. maybe miss ShaolinBunny can come by and take pics of it and post them here. i like this place. you people are fun!

Truly astonishing. If you would, however, please leave personal insults out of this.
