I recommend a great book to read, Brave New World.

Yeah i saw that book on amazon, think i'll buy it soon, already have "1984" and "animal farm".

Aaahhhmmm, did i kill this thread ?

There is no need to upgrade anything, just install Firefox and add all nessesary plugins including the flash plugin and Html plugin as a backup.

I still have Winxp and Firefox and my machine is as efficient as ever and virus free, it wouldn't surprise me if a new type of virus or worm disables all windows 10 Operating systems this year sometime between christmas and new year.
They always target the newest operating systems so i'm safe with winxp.

Despite popular beliefs winxp is still useful and will be for a long time if you know how to manually configure it.

The croissant has to be the best french invention ever, i always get weak when i smell and touch a croissant.

I mean why would we do on to them(animals) what we don't want done upon us ?

Veganism doesn't make much sense to me.

Chickens lay eggs. They're going to lay eggs whether you gather those eggs or leave them to rot. One could argue that we shouldn't have domesticated them in the first place - and I agree - but we have done now. There's no harm done to any animal by eating an unfertilised egg that couldn't even potentially become an actual chicken...unless you think the chicken was better to have never been born at all.

But at a first approximation, I'm vegan.

Yes but don't forget it's foremost about not supporting the slaughtering of animals and everything that comes with it, like live cruel transports on land and sea, cruelty and terror is the life of livestock on a daily basis.
And in many ways more horrible then we all think or see, and i couldn't imagine myself living in fear and being constantly beaten and my bones broken only to be shoved into some meat grinder or worse.

Many just don't want to see the truth and the reality of the cruel and horrific process on how the meat coming from an animal ends up in some good looking package with some nice colors, logo and picture.
It's all just a big lie thanks to very good marketing.

I'm not sure i'll ever achieve it but i'm close to it, about 90% vegan more or less, i guess that's good enough.
When i stopped eating meat alltogether i shocked friends, family and especially co-workers, their first Question was "if you don't eat meat then what do you eat ?", all i could do is laugh.
Many vegetarians believe that eating fish is OK but it's not because eating fish is the same as eating meat.


The good thing about changing your food habits to none meat and more vegetables is:
No more strokes
No more Heart attacks
Very good blood lab results
You feel healthier
Your mood becomes better
Your veins are cleaner
You find out that eating meat is nonsense
Once you're off the meat you will never want to eat it again
(And some other positive reason that i forgot right now, i mean the list goes on and on)

The best thing about is that i don't have to feel guilty anymore, it's our choice and i have made mine.

Foremost i want to make clear that i'm not criticising anyone here, just giving my 2 cents

Sometimes i buy frozen spinach that comes in a box, heat it up in some cooking pot and just eat it straight out of the pot with a big spoon. Tastes good.

Don't really have a favorite dish/food as long if it's Meat Free because i don't want any type of animal(including fish) to die or suffer just for me.

Did you know that Grain that is being used to feed Livestock marked for slaughter could easily end world hunger.
For real, no nonsense ! Plants could easily feed the entire world, fact.

The strongest man in Germany is a "vegan" and supporter of animal rights.
The strongest man in Germany is VEGAN!

Today i ate fries with ketchup and meat free burgers, yes burgers but meat free and still delicious.



And my blood test results from my last Health checkup are 100% perfect the doctor said today.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” ~ Statue of Liberty Poem

Why is the Statue of Liberty important ?

Historically, the Statue of Liberty is important because she was given to the U.S. by "France" to celebrate America’s first 100 years as a nation. It commemorates the alliance between France and the U.S. during the Revolutionary War.


what does the statue of liberty represent ?

Lady Liberty’s classic stature, face, and attire come from the Roman goddess "Libertas", who also represents freedom from tyranny and oppression. The crown is reminiscent of a halo and its spikes show similarities to those of the sun gods–the Roman "Apollo", and the Greek "Helios". Her right foot is raised as if she is continually on the move, forever bringing freedom to others.

Lady carries enlightenment to the world with the forever-lit torch (Liberty’s original name was Liberty Enlightening the World). Along with tools, the ability to create fire is one of the skills that led to civilization as we know it. Fire is symbolic of knowledge and brings light to the people.

In Philadelphia, you can't put pretzels in bags based on an Act of 1760.

Why ? Are they afraid that Bretzels might suffocate ?
Didn't even know they had Bretzels in the year 1760.

I was curious so i googled it and found this:

Quote:Oh yes, most definitely still enforced. I was arrested and held recently on multiple felony counts under state statute 325.1(a). Said statue states that it is illegal for any person to introduce, stuff, place, force, pour or add pretzel content to any bag that is capable of holding 1oz or larger. Ann additional charge was added by the local state attorney that was overlooked by investigators; basically the commission of the above stated felony but with the addition of salt of any kind, ie; sea salt, table salt, salt from the red sea, Dead Sea and from any salt mine foreign or domestic. Being my total salt content totaled over 10 grams and showed a presumptive positive reaction for the presence of salinity the judge threw the book at me ordering me to community service for 8 years upon relapse from state prison after serving one year without eligibility of gain time, or time off for good behavior. Upon release I must also agree to 3 a week meetings for treatment and submit to random urinalysis tests for a probationary period of 6 months.
In 1760 the use of salt, saline or any product with a salinity level over .008 was felonious and compares to the drama we find ourselves involved in today with athletes such as Barry Bonds and the other Olympic athletes. I had to sign paperwork admitting to saline doping and stand before my friends, family and a jury of my peers, admitting guilt and taking responsibility for my actions. That damn beer sure tasted good with those pretzels though.

If a Woman is such a bad driver then wouldn't it be dangerous to keep walking in front of the car while she is driving it ?

How would they ever hit a Home Run ?

Maybe, i mean who knows. maybe it could be like that.
But what i do know is that every star system contains a number of planets including some sort of sun or similar like ours.
Star systems are slowly drifting further away from each other, little by little. This means that sooner or later there are no more planetary systems visible outside of our own.
Therefore colonising other planets on other systems will be nothing more then a shattered dream since the distance will be so great that it's impossible to reach or even colonise those systems.

We Humans should start planetary colonization as soon as possible to build our first Galactic Empire

Tasman you are never alone, you have all of us.

But i fear one day our computers may have such a highly advanced AI (Artificial intelligence) that they will deem us Humans completely obsolete and mark us for extermination like Skynet did building those Terminators.
