I’d like take my (theoretical) hat off to Adam Pacitti, a student at the University Of Winchester. This YouTube video he made should explain most of the “story”.
What a brilliant concept he’s come up with. Its an easy way to meet people he finds attractive. Add the back story of “zombies and decapitation” to make it seem realistic, and off he goes. All he has to do now is sit back and let the emails from women, whom would probably be close to what he finds attractive, arrive in his mail.
This is the sort of genius plan you’d come up with after a few pints down the pub with a few mates. He’s managed to get lots of free publicity from online, the Hampshire Chronicle, and other sources, so more women will hear his message.
Everyone has the right to eat what they want. It’s their bodies after all. However, it turns out that there are pressure groups for the promotion and forced choice of vegetarianism. Constant promotion and ego boosting articles on how they’re better than meat eating “scum”.
We have K9 teeth for a reason. There designed to rip apart meat and break it into manageable juicy chunks. If we weren’t mean to eat it, then surely our bodies would not have evolved to eat meat. Meat provides us with the energy we need. Its also part of a nutritious diet. It helps us build up our bodies, as it contains most of the needed things to produce our bodies’ building blocks. Alternatives to this include taking a variety of vitamin pills and supplements. Yes, pumping chemicals into your body is far better than eating the real thing.
The main reason people become veggies, which I have heard, is that they disagree with the way the animal is killed, “cruelly” in a slaughterhouse. However, if this is their only reason for not eating meat, then what about animals they kill themselves? Apparently not. For example, a friend of mine is quite happy to go out shooting pheasants, but wouldn’t eat them due to them being “slaughtered”. Their quite happy to kill them, but eat them? No, I guess that’s a step too far.
I’m all for animal rights, it’s just that the idea we do not need to eat meat is one which is stupid at best. Lions, Tigers, even Pigs eat meat. Sure there are some animals which are able to live off a healthy lifestyle of grass and shrubbery, but their designed to do that. We as humans are naturally omnivores. The idea of only eating one type of food is self-inflicted humanistic rubbish which is designed to make us feel personally better about ourselves. Well done, you’ve beaten yourself. I hope that makes you a happier, healthier person.
Each to their own, but remember, meat is murder. Socially acceptable, tasty, good for you murder.
I tried to update by Ubuntu to the (yet unreleased) next version. Unfortunately, it seems there’s a bug within the kernel. A bug which means my computer is fucked. I can’t boot fully into an X server, bur I can boot into a terminal. Not everything is lost, luckily.
I used GParted to reparation my disk, so I can install my new distro, and have my old data. However, I’m starting to think that this is a chance to try other versions of Linux. Does anybody have any distro recomendations?
[Update] Repartitioned the drive, installed Ubuntu 8.10, reconfigured X, backed up files. Reinstalled programs, done.
I had high hopes for Robotics, and it seemed to give me everything I needed as a part-time fun course. Group work, technical projects and trips galore. So I have decided to quit, and move onto another topic, which right now I do not know.
Robotics is not the problem for me, its the people. The general, average member of the Symonds robotics team is taking 7 A-Levels. Most people take a maximum of 3, sometimes 4 if their bright. I’m part of the most people, so I can’t keep up with the thought and speed of my fellow robotiers.
Basicily, I suck at building robots. However, I’m better at destroying them. If a robotics uprising occurs however, then I guess I’m your man.
