It’s fine if you’re a vegetarian, that’s your choice and your life and I respect that. But I personally was raised in a family where if dinner didn’t have some type of meat in it, it was a joke, and I raise animals for meat. I love meat!
What do you say about Gun Control and the right to bear arms?
If I understand correctly, they are wanting to take away our rights to bear arms so that the “bad people” won’t have them. The problem is, if those people were using them wrongly in the first place, what’s stopping them from going against the law now? In that case, the rest of us have just lost our means to defend ourselves (btw, this is just my opinion).
[EDIT]- Oops…
What do you say about Cars 2? (I know that’s very low intellectually, it’s all I can think of right now.
I say it will be a good sequel, but Cars doesn’t really need one. It ended perfectly. But still, I’m looking forward to it, can’t wait to see what Pixar has done with it!
I think that it’s annoying, but sometimes amusing. My friend Matthew, a firm believe in 2012, stood up in class once and explained his survival plan: Build a giant metal box, and take his dog and his shoes in with him. Where he plans to get the materials to build a giant metal box, I’ll never know.
What do you think of all the “Obama conspiracy theories”? Ex: He is a reptilian sent to enslave us all (one of the more believeable ones actually)
I think they’re hilarious! It’s something funny to laugh at, but some people take it way too seriously. This gem is not about Obama, but I still think it’s hilarious Found it on a magazine in the grocery store line
“Hitler found living with Arkansas Duck Hunters”
What do you say about Killer Whales/Orcas being kept in captivity, is it moral to do so?
Hmm. Perhaps I should reschedule my trip to Arkansas. I don’t want to accidentally run into Hitler.
As long as they’re cared for properly, I think it’s okay. I mean, we keep elephants, bears and tigers in captivity, right? I don’t, however, think it’s right to keep one after it murders not one, but two people, and then act surprised when it kills a third. Seriously, true story.
What do you think of euthenasia? Or is that topic to heavy for this board?
I have no issue with Asians having children. . But seriously, there’s no reason to force people to suffer terminal illnesses or old age if they want out. You are not free if you are forced to live to someone else’s expectation of life.
Just a reminder not to let this thread get out of hand. But I’m sure we’re all smarter than that, right? I’d love to see some matured discussions on personal opinions, so I trust all of us will keep this as civil as possible.
Aaanyway, uh… I think it is incredibly inconvenient, at least for the bit where you have to remember to wind back or forward your clocks. This is from someone who comes from the tropics, where there are no seasonal changes, and all days relatively have the same number of daylight hours. I mean, even after three years living in Oz, I still can’t get my head around its necessity, especially now there’s street lamps in most areas nowadays.
What do you think about the subprime mortgage crisis?
You know, I’ve never actually thought about the subprime mortgage crisis From what I read up about it on a completely reliable, 100% factual source (read: Wikipedia), I’m going to say, it’s, uh…bad. And I hope it ends soon. If anyone else can offer a more intellectual response about the subprime mortgage crisis, by all means, feel free!
What do you think about the growing craze of 3D movies?
You know, I don’t mind 3D that much. I love watching movies with or without. I enjoyed Toy Story 3 just as much in 2D as I think I would in 3D.
My problem with 3D is that I have bad eyesight, so I wear glasses. I have contacts as well, but they hurt my eyes a lot so I usually stick with glasses. Because of the 3D glasses, I have to wear my contacts, and it’s so frustrating when I try to put them on and it burns or hurts.
But all in all, I like 3D
Alright, next question.
What do you say about organic farming? Is it truly better for you and the environment?
Yes, I think so. It certainly beats battery farming, or GM foods, or pesticide-sprays. It’s a little uneconomical in the beginning, but it pays off dividends (better health, kinder on the environment) in the long run.
