they dont respect you...they think that youre weird. if its about life that you care about when being a vegetarian then its been proven beyond doubt by an indian scientist itself that even plants have that element called 'life'. so then perhaps you shud stick to eating fallen fruits and rotten yellow leaves. the fact is you dont understand the purposes of customs. if you did perhaps then you will realize that they made sense a two thousand years ago. the whole thing about clothes fall under this. if people still gets ho*ny watching a bit of skin, yes it is a problem. but then that has to be corrected in his head. finally to all that craaaaap that sreekesh you so painfully blurted out....duh!!!
