zavebe I'm American, and I truly don't think you're stealing anyones job, either. Many americans probably think so, but I'd prefer it be in a country were the people truly benefit from it. And it's preferable over factories being built and the sort. A good, cleaner...

What do you call it? Duct tape or Duck tape? I have no idea why but for some reason when I write it it's "duct" (which is correct) but when I say it the word comes out "duck". Have you seen the new colored duct tape? I have but...

zavebe It's Duct tape, because its original use was for air ducts and such. We call it Duck tape, because that's the largest selling brand. It's like they brainwashed us! lol. The same way some call all soda's Coke. or some call all tissues Klenex's. Very weird,...

I want to ask "YOU" how you gain respect from other cliques. Do you act cooler? Act different than you usually do? I know I do if i was a new kid at school and need some friends. What I do is, I dress different, talk different...

zavebe I'm a bit different than some. But I will never, ever, change who I am in order to gain respect from others. I can live my life happily without the cool clique liking me. I take this approach to everything in life, and it's worked out for me so well. I...

zavebe I halfway agree with you. I don't think the dogs should be destroyed though. We don't destroy humans for attacking someone (murder is a different subject). But, I don't think these dogs should be re-homed without the owner aware of the dogs past. I plan,...

zavebe Oops. I was focused on Vagans, in contrast to Vegatarians. Most vagans are more extreme. And Vegetarians tend to not care about the murdering part, and instead just focus on health. So keep that in mind as you read! My bad :P

zavebe I just have to comment that when you change from meat-eating to veggy-only, it drastically changed your diet. It WILL make you sick. The same way that if a vegan suddenly woofed down a cheeseburger, they'd get sick too. It's not that one is worse than the...

zavebe lol. I love that argument, that plants are living things too. We just can't see their pain. Personally, I think there are way too many who become vagan for the social aspects of it, the status, the 'coolness'. Granted, not all of them are like that, but a...

zavebe Sadly, pitbulls are bred for violence towards other dogs. And occasionally they hurt humans too. I don't think any dog is evil, or bad. I assume that this toddler was probably too close to the dogs favorite chew toy, or something. Some breeds are just plain...

zavebe I don't quite agree with that. I think that our culture use to respect their elders, probably around WWII and before. But with technology boosts I think we drift further from our families, and lose touch.

zavebe I once heard a statistic that over 1/2 of all marriages end because of money disputes. Because it isn't your relationship, it's harder to say what to do about it. It could just be a sign of a failing marriage. Or, they could be using money as a way of...
