collegeoptimist I absolutely adore Katherine Moennig.. Of course, her role as Shane made me fall in love with her initially. Since then, I've seen her in Young Americans (an old WB summer series) and clips of Art School Confidential. I also saw her in a music video, but I...

I may be not a strict vegetarian since I don't refuse yogurt. But I don't eat any kinds of meat and egg any more. I think it's very healthy to me.How about you?

collegeoptimist If your refuse yogurt, that makes you vegetarian but not vegan. Vegans don't eat or use any animal products whatsoever, which strikes me as a very difficult way to live. I think that staying away from meat and eggs is very healthy (hello, cholesterol!) so I...

I attended a lecture at which a vegan activist insisted that it is morally and ethically wrong to be a meat-eater - that meat-eaters have a god-complex and believe that they can decide which animals die and get eaten and to what...

collegeoptimist Vegetarianism is definitely more moral if you look at it in terms of animal torture. Even though I'm still a meat eater, I have a hard time believing that just because these animals were bred for our consumption means that we have the right to torture them....

There are hundreds if not thousands of people who cut themselves and they call it "self injury". I call it a bad way to deal with your problems. I was wondering if maybe any of you know someone who injures themselves and had any...

collegeoptimist Self injury being a "bad" way to deal with problems is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Everyone deals with their problems differently.. Of course there are the cutters who do it for the wrong reasons, like to get attention or to kill themselves. I'd have...

I seem to have conflicting feelings on the subject.. what do you all think?

1 response

collegeoptimist I think I left it vague on purpose.. I wanted to see the many varying opinions on the subject. In particular, the situation that got me thinking about this question is the fact that I am in an open relationship with my boyfriend. We're "allowed" to be with...

If you get the seasonal sads, or are feeling depressed today, this is a little technique which I found really really helpful when I was going through a rough patch. On a sheet of paper, start writing down the things that make...

collegeoptimist That sounds like a very creative solution. I actually do something similar to what you described.. When I am feeling down or angry, I make a list of the people or thigns that are upsetting me. Then, instead of listing the things that make me upset about...

collegeoptimist That's a wonderful way of looking at life.. Since I don't believe in heaven in the Catholic sense of the word, I believe in exactly what you said. That heaven is the wonderful moments in life. It seems better to live life knowing that heaven is all around...

collegeoptimist One of the points he was trying to make is that humans have that god-complex.. that reasoning that "some animals are here to serve a purpose." To him, that's unfair of us to say and wrong. Because, the only reason these animals are here for us to eat them is...

collegeoptimist You are very fascinating. You kill animals with a bow and arrow? That strikes me as cool... but I'm a city girl. With a mild crush on Legolas. I also find it interesting that you believe that both animals and plants have spirits; I've never heard of that but...

collegeoptimist I'm sorry if there was any confusion. The Spill Canvas is a band that sings the song "The Tide." The line that I referenced in my question is actually from "The Tide." It's a fantastic, meaningful song.
