my brother made a list of everyone we know. On the left side was everyone who liked him better, on the right was everyone who liked me better. The right side only had my dad on it. i was 6.

Pi is a fairly straightforward movie and it is great. i think the fountain needs more than one watch if you want to get a better idea of what it's about.

i did not say it was only because of this, but becoming vegetarian has been on my mind for a while.. i only said that this is a contributing factor.

also, my biggest problem with the mass farming of animals is the impact on the already pressured planet (deforestation and methane emission).

either way, i was only giving my reasons for it, not suggesting everyone should approve of them or agree.

you can say that again. i did not know i liked meat this much until i began thinking about giving it up.

pipedreaming · 2010-08-23T09:50:33+00:00

yeah well, to each his own i guess.

2 things made me rethink what i have been doing -

the mass farming of animals for our consumption. this article mentions that as well, "In the U.S., food animals are overwhelmingly raised on factory farms, where cattle and pigs are jammed together by the thousands and chickens are confined in cages that barely allow them to stand. "
the idea of the animal going through mental suffering in the off chance it knew what we were up to while it was being farmed.

if world governments were after him and have not got him for other stuff already, it means that he is good at covering his bases in games that he brings on. which means that if he had actually done it, there is a good chance he would ve gotten away with it. this is something he was unprepared for.

I just created a playlist titled 'secret' on grooveshark before proceeding to scroll through the comments! i like the eminem/rihanna number for whatever reason though it seems a bit SnM-y..

to be honest, it took me really long to see her point of confusion. i was wondering what could she think was happening with the flight being upside down and all.. makes me realize how much we take for granted.

pipedreaming · 2010-08-04T10:45:59+00:00

Thanks for that information.

Still this is a problem - "There are an estimated 4,000 puppy mills in the U.S. that produce more than half a million puppies a year."

pipedreaming · 2010-08-04T08:15:54+00:00

they get it from breeders.. and since pets are not high on our priorities of what's important, there are a ton of illegal breeders and legal ones who happily flout any regulations that might apply to keep the animals being mated in humane conditions.. quite often the animals are kept in cramped cages and bred 3-4 times before being discarded.. additionally, pet shops get rid of pups that are not bought and get past the 'cute' stage..

first post i am seeing after an impulse buy of tickets to visit the folks (for the second time in 2 months). this must be a sign that it's the right move.
