Sadly, this world is full of people who are rude to others because they have different opinions. These people are not worth your time whatsoever. Sounds like you've got alot of juvenile people in your school. You definatly got the point across to that person... but there are hundreds of ignorant people you'll meet in your lifetime, so you've just got to learn to deal with them. I definatly know a few jerks like that. Just tell them to grow up and get a life.

Good for you for becoming a vet!! I want to become one, too, but I really am not emotionally strong enough for it... I know when it comes time to choose a job, I've got to be realistic.
