Anyone else around here been living a "meh" life lately?

I'm the same way.

I often ask myself, why couldn't I just use the same effort in another manner, and put the creature outside. And I sometimes do this.

The only things I kill without guilt are houseflies, poisonous things, mosquitoes, and other creatures that may be harmful directly or by the spread of disease.

However, to be most effective, stop eating meat as well. The alternatives are much better for you, and in my opinion taste better. I eat two vegetarian burgers nearly every day. I see no good reason for murdering animals since there are alternatives for gaining a protein rich diet.

For every meat product you don't eat, I'm going to eat two, just to maintain balance. KEEP THE SLAUGHTER!
 
Much of Africa has a rather poor climate for food crops with good yields.

Abundant, reliable food supplies are essential for advancement of civilisation.

Don't be unintentionally dense.

Africa has more than enough farmland to feed itself with the correct agricultural investments.
Africa has plenty of natural resources and valuable goods.
African governments are mostly corrupt, self preserving and morally questionable and hence do not pursue economic and social progression.

The thing is, is that if the whole african continent was how it is now but completely unpopulated by homo sapiens, it could be colonised into a very prosperous continent.

It's common fact that all we evil meateaters participate in the eating of extra animals purposely, thus rendering the whole vegetarian movement obsolete! (seeing as there is no health benefit to cutting meat out of your diet and replacing it with shitty plant protien. NONE! ZILCH!!) GET THE **** OUT OF THE RESTAURANTS AND PSEUDO-MORAL HIGH GROUND!

African leaders have sold their crops to the highest bidder. 1st world countries have bought these crops at prices the African people can't afford.

And hence... that strange 31p loaf of bread was born!!!!

(seriously what gives with cheap bread?)

cuz lil' bro, there is nothing of value in that shitty bread unless you just want to sustain life for a while, as you slowly die. It's just bleached flour and synthetic preservatives. Very inflammatory to your body.

You need whole grains. Good for your heart and great for your body.

Land isn't the issue, climate is. The crop species/cultivars with good yields generally have rather narrow requirements with regard to wet days.
Irrigation is a problem for large areas of the continent. Plant disease has a big impact on Cassava yields, which is the major staple crop for a lot of areas.
 
fortunately, he did get up and fly away a few minutes later but I felt terrible about harming the little guy who was just going about and enjoying his life as a moth, munching on clothes. I think its all because i don't believe in an afterlife and being smushed by a door is a pointless and inglorious way to die.

My best friend died like that you insensitive basterd.

Such conditions would undoubtedly affect organic crops, however we* do have the technology and resources to create a much more self sustainable africa. It's not just about money though, we've been pumping millions into the poor continent to try and help the average african for decades... but to little avail when much of it is unintentionally wasted.

What actually angers me, is the fact that mostly overfed, white, middle class, american organisations with selfish political agendas like greenpeace actively try and prevent GM crops from being used GLOBALLY.
I can't recall all the details but I believe greenpeace persuaded one of the african governments to not accept tons of GM grain during a terrible famine because they falsely told them that it was harmful for their people. Many people died because of this. Many people...
GM crops, biotechnology research and agricultural modernisation and proper education CAN FEED AFRICA.

* - by 'we' I mean the western world.
 
We can potentially create the crops to feed Africa yes. They don't currently exist though, so it doesn't change my point that societies need reliable food supplies in order to progress.
 
I'm sure some farmers in Africa have meh lives.
 
ITT: African farmers have an easy job, since they don't have any crops or water.
 
The root of Africa's corruption is caused by the Chinese. The Chinese government has good relationships with a lot of the dictators in Africa. The Chinese trade arms and money for African oil. Who do you think has been supplying the Sudanese to commit their genocide?

Do you think the Chinese government cares about Africans killing each other?

It's clear that the OP's life is too "meh" to discuss further.

Human's didn't claw their way to the top of the food chain to eat veggie burgers. :p

I like my meat rare. Bloody rare. It makes me feel like a vicious and savage viking vampire.....thing.

No, it's just so "meh" that I have nothing better to do than to discuss my "meh" life with thousands of people I don't know, or care to know, over the interwebz. :p


Happy vaginal ejaculation day to me btw. Yay, I'm 25.
 
Being a vegetarian or vegan is a luxury that only people in 1st world nations can afford. Not to mention the very fact that they live in a part of the world where they can pick and choose what they want to eat.
 
Not really. My family is from India and we've been poor for the longest time before coming to the US. We've been vegetarian forever by religion, as have my ancestors.

Here, let me help.

From what i've learned in my short 17 years of havok on this planet, i've come to the conclusion that, when life seems to suck, it's only because you suck at living it.

It's all what you make of it. If it's boring, it's because you're not doing enough to make it exciting. That, or you're expecting way too much out of it.
 
You guys want to hear something crazy? I haven't gone for a walk since mid-late 2007.

It seems like it was so short of a time ago, but in reality it's a long time. I used to go on several mile walks fairly regularly, to get fresh air and stuff.

That entire time, I would tell myself I was going to go out, start exercising again... go for a walk, get out of this house and not remain cooped up any longer. Nearly every single day I told myself this. And I had great enthusiasm for doing so.

And what happened? Nothing. I didn't do it. Not once for those nearly two years. In that length of time, I'd estimate that I have only gotten around ten total hours of sunshine.

Why? There are only two real good explanations. Either I'm just a really ****ing lazy bastard.. or I have some sort of significant mental barrier that prevents me from going out that door and into the world.

I don't really think it's laziness to be honest. But that's just my opinion.

I think the Japanese have a word for it.. and it's Hikikomori.

How's that for meh.

The times when I most want to go out for walks is at night. But I'm honestly afraid to go out at night when the streets are clear and dark.

I know most people won't understand the mental block at all that I describe. But oftentimes I'll get ready to go out... get my shoes on and everything... and I get to the door, turn the handle and then I stop... and proceed to take my shoes back off. It's frustrating.


I have this computer place literally right adjacent to my house... in the plaza behind my house... that my dad said had a help wanted sign up. He suggested I go check it out, and I really want to do it, but that same block kicks in every time I try to do it.

I wonder how many parasites you are hosting

Why dont you just turn the handle and go outside? Its like drinking tequila... you dont want it, its standing right infront of you, your trying to controle your arm not to trough it in your mouth and then 3.. 2.. 1.. BAM! you slam it and its done.

Put yourself in my shoes for a change... and then immediately take them off again as I would do.
 
Then do it holy shit.

HEY HELLO I'M DANIMAL, I OBVIOUSLY CANNOT RELATE TO WHAT RAZIAAR IS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT SEEMS OBVIOUSLY NONSENSICAL AND CRAZY TO ME AS A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING, SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUT IT IN TERMS THAT MAKE HIM SOUND LIKE A MORON DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE MAY BE SOME REAL UNDERLYING PSYCHOLOGICAL REASONS WHY HE CAN'T PHYSICALLY BRING HIMSELF TO DO IT.

ALSO I HAVE REALLY PUFFY CURLY HAIR.


char.
 
Chill brah, I know you dig the hair.

EDIT:

What are you, agorophobic?
 
well, raz, i think you should just walk to the door, put your shoes on, and go outside.
Dont be an idiot and take them of, you put them on to go outside, it doesnt make sence to take them of (after you put them on) before youve even been outside.
Put them on, go outside (when the sun is shining) and take a 10 minute walk.

So; Next time the sun is shining, you go... outside.
Oh and **** what your brain tells you, just go outside.

Raz, do it.

I dare you.





You'll like it. :naughty:
