how animals should be treated

When watching the movie about the torture of animals, there were some very decent parts. One of which was when they showed the prison and how people in there were able to take care of some animals, and they found that it helped them become more compationte people. It is amazing what animals can do for people and how they can help them become better.
Another part where animals helped people was when that monkey was taking care of the man that was paralized from the neck down. Why on earth would anyone want to hurt an animal like that, that could potentionaly help people in the long run? it just astonishes me that anyone could do that.

medior shower

Last night a group of friends and i went outside to watch the "big" medior shower that was suppost to go on. when we got to the spot that we wanted to stay to watch, we lied down and wated to see something. occationaly we saw one or two of them, but besides that, it was not as spectacular as i thought that it was going to be.
Anyway, when looking up at the stars, we all began to think, that when you look up at the sky and see all of those other planets, you have to believe for there to be another human life somewhere. How could there not be? there are so many other planets out there, at least one of them must have people living on it. Who knows, maybe last night when we were all thinking about that, people on those other planets were thinking the exact same thing, which is kind of creapy, but at the same time pretty neat.

ticking bomb

When printing out the very long article about torture, i was interested as to how much one peroson could say about people and others being tortured. once i got to the part about the ticking bomb, i really had to just stop for a moment and think about America and how we deal with things today. i understood the reasoning about how it was nessasary to torture the person to get answers, but could there have been another way that would have been easier and more effective? i think that there really could have been.
I thought that there was a type of drug that could help make people tell the truth, if we had used something like that, then maybe we could have gotten the answers that we needed from him and would have been able to save the others, and not have had to hurt anyone. I guess what happened needed to happen, because i am sure that we are smart enough to come up with the best possible solution, and this must have been it.

animal movie

Watching the movie of animals, and how all over the world, people abuse them, i began to feel sick to my stomach. i understand the reason for it to be shown to us, but like everyone else there, it did hurt to watch such a thing like that.
It was interesting however to find out that people all over the world abuse animals. i always here that here in America, we are they only ones that hurt them, but that is not true. we are not the only evil ones in the world, and i wish that others would take a second to understand that.
It does not matter where you are, there are going to be evil people, we just need to do our best to not be that way. Not only did this show make me want to become a vegitarian, but it also made me think about what i could do to help. so in a way i am somewhat glad that i watched it, because it made me really think about the world and relize that it is not all good, and that maybe i should find a way to help make it better.

why animals

When we got on to the topic about animals in class the other day, it got me to thinking. animals really do know what we are felling when we are sad or sick, or gone. they dont know why we are gone, and i am sure that for a second or two they probibly really miss us, but then they move one. they just probibly think that we will be coming back.
it was interesting however that we got on to that topic considering we were talking about something completly different. but that just goes to show how interesting the relationships between animals and humans is. We are so close together with them, but still so far away.
When i see my animals doing something really weird, but they tend to do it all of the time, it makes me think of what they are thinking when they are doing what it is that they are doing. there has to be some sort of purpose for it.

jealousy

Why is it that in our human nature, we become very jealous. Just recently a friend of mine became very jealous of me for a very small issue, and it turned into something much larger just because she was jealous, and that seemed to control the whole thing. It makes me think back to the topic of free will, only because mabe we are just being told to be jealous as kids, or rather we see others being jealouse and so we feel that we should to, and it just ends up sticking with us. Just like free will, we are told about it, but i think that if we were never told about it and no one thought about it then we would not have it. However now that we do feel like we have free will and jealousy, it will always be there.

needs

"Women need men to satisfiy their every need. Men need women to satisfiy their one need." This is a quote that a friend of mine recently told me, and i thought that it was funny, however for some that is true. it is interesting to think about, because in some cases it is the other way around. Maybe it is just the way that women and men are. women do need men in more cases to help with things, but some men dont always need that. some prefer to take care of them selves and not have to worry about taking care of someone else. They do however need women for one thing, and we all can take a guess at what that is, so it is not like men do'nt need women at all. i just thought it to be very interesting.
