Meat lovers vs. Vegetarians
I reckon a poor ol' country boy like me can't always win in the technicalities side of things. Reducing out of control parts of industry is always helpful, though. Trim the fat...

Abortion: Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)
Well, since the parents of the mother/father are likely taking care of the kid, I reckon they have the right. It doesn't seem fair, but I don't see a child being born to a fourteen-year-old as fair, either. I don't agree whatsoever with terminating late-term abortion laws. After seven months, it's a baby in a woman's stomach. That is without a doubt taking a life. The Catholic Church has every right to shut down their hospitals. It isn't smart, and in general isn't helpful for us, but it is their choice. Even birth control is seen as murder by the Church. And considering this does have to do with life, it isn't just some "silly" belief that someone can pass off. It's a child, and Catholics take pregnancy and birth incredibly seriously. But, as far as I see it, seven months or later is pure murder (infantcide, I don't know). Earlier, I still would prefer not to have an abortion, but at least if the government manages it it will be much safer for the mothers. And I reckon it is their choice in the end... There isn't much that would help, apart from scaring kids away from unprotected sex. That's the most important thing. Teach them to use condoms. Give out condoms for free, hell, I don't know.

Anoying Teachers!!!!
Wish that Ducati could be life-sized... I just realized I never answered the actual question (surprise, surprise). I've never had any particularly annoying teachers. Substitutes, though, that blow every little thing out of proportion. And any teacher that's a robot for the man. Ones who know less than I do in their field (actually somewhat of a majority, at least with social studies teachers) also bug me. But I'm a little bit of a nerd, so, neeeh.

Anoying Teachers!!!!
WELL BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY CONSISTUINATES INTO A GANG VIOLENCE ASSOCIATION OF THIEVES, MUGGERS, AND OTHER NEFARIOUS NE'ERDOWELLS. They come up with the stupidest reasons for these things. Most typically: Gang violence, or losing attention in the classroom. My sunglasses do not do either. My Zune do not, either. My plastic dinosaur does. But it's allowed. And my teachers always hate it when I bring him.

Meat lovers vs. Vegetarians
How do you figure this..? The (American, anyways) meat industry vastly affects our environment in a negetive way. Also, when compared to what it takes to get a pound of meat onto the table, vegetables are far cheaper and easier to attain. If everyone ate only vegetables, they would still be just as cheap and easy to attain. Mmmm, considering most people in the world would have to eat at least three times (I think, can't confirm that) as many fruits and vegetables as we do now - and that figures from the west, doesn't count starving people in Africa - that's a lotta farmland, and possibly lots of runoff and pesticides to get the food cheaper. Also, one problem I've never seen addressed: What happens to the animals if we just up and decide to never eat one again? We have billions of livestock out there, not to mention populations that are controlled by our hunting and eating. We'd be overrun.

Nah, I mean if the whole world ate only vegetables. They would be vastly more expensive. A mixed diet is better for the environment too, or so I reckon.

The Inauguration of Barrack Obama: So Annoying
Well, I suppose that's true. I was more thinking along the lines of "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" respect, not "Honor thy mother and thy father" kind.

Best food chain?
Oh God yes Marble Slab. Love their shakes. Chocolate shake, with chocolate sprinkles mixed in...YESSSSSSS.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
:shame: How anyone can go without sex is beyond me.. Some folks have better reasons than others me. I reckon that if I found a girl that was just as virginy as me, so, you know, clean and all, and we liked each other a whole bunch, it might happen. But I wouldn't sleep around in my town. First-class ticket to syphilis.

Best food chain?
True, true, those are chains. So I forgot Texas Roadhouse, Logan's, Olive Garden, Johnny Carino's, Santa Fe, ohgodi'mhungry.

Australia Day Changing Date
I'm sorry, but I do take offense to this. For a funny thing: I aim for dry. And another thing: Mine wasn't really near dragoon's. I actually make points. I do, however, acknowledge most of my jokes are horrible. Purposefully. Besides, can't laugh at yourself, whatcha got to live for.

Wine and alchohol discussion
Can't go down Bourbon Street without celebrating. I mean, I've never been to New Orleans. Just sayin'.

Today...
13 degrees and snowing here in Lubbock. EDIT: 28 now. It's actually ice-ing. And we get delayed two hours tomorrow. Yaaaaay. This is a bad norther, though. I was outside last weekend when it hit. Just a huge blast of freezing air. Man, this cold sucks too because it was eighty degrees last Friday and my school switched from heating to air conditioning. Oh well. I like the cold. Not too much going on now, though. Have a buncha homework. I'm really procrastinatey lately.

Wasted Time
School. NOT EDUCATION. NOT LEARNING. School. Because it is neither of those things. Nor is it safe, which is what schools are hailed as being. Wily wabbits. I usually don't consider anything wasted.

The Inauguration of Barrack Obama: So Annoying
Um, it's important to everyone. I also hope he knows a good deal about Islam; Obama has some of the greatest etiquette (would that be the correct term?) advisers in the world, as well as a fantastic memory.

Unusual Foods and Drinks.
OH [bleep] YES MORE Oh dear. I don't know, I could never eat dog. That's disgusting. Just seems like eating your buddy. I love alligator and rattler. And possum. And squirrel. Mmmm. Rabbit...

Post pictures of your pets here
My sister's looking for a boxer, even though we've warned her against it. She seems to think they're little. What.

Are games art?
Yeah, but that's for the feel. They can be better, but yes. Eventually they will be more celebrated than FDR's legs.

Calf fries taste like chicken strips, really. Who knew.

Left 4 Dead
Wow, that's an amazing map. They even made it Left 4 Dead-ey.

Is God real post your thoughts!
The people that subscribe to pastafarianism and don't actually understand it disagree there.

Fashion & Men
AUGH WHERE DID YOU FIND THOSE? I have the aviators I want, but I'm desperately looking for a good leather jacket. Brown or black. And a newsboy cap would actually be pretty cool. I really like hats, in case you guys couldn't tell.
