Vegetarians... yuck

2010-01-03T09:06:00.000-08:00

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a diet based on plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, shellfish, or products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived gelatin and rennet.
There are many different types of vegetarian diets, such as lacto-vegetarian diets, lacto-ovovegetar, semi-vegetarian, and then there is the vegan diet. Now that is the one I disagree with. There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, some go on a strict no eat meat diet because they ate so much McDonald's and now meat is poison to them (like Morgan Spurlock from Super Size Me). In that case I can understand why you're on a vegan diet because of doctors orders, but if you're a healthy young person you don't need to be on that particular diet, it can do more harm than good. However, like anything in this world, too much of anything is bad for you. You have to have a balance. If you choose to go on a no-eat-meat diet you need to prepare yourself for taking a lot of vitamins. No matter what vegy diet you choose, you need to make sure you have enough calories to meet your energy needs.
Anyway I digressed, I don't want to bore you with anymore details to being a vegetable eater but back to my point I don't think people should look to being a vegetarian as a safe alternative to eating meat because it's not. Yes, people who eat a lot of meat need to look at eating more "greens" but people who eat to much "greens" also need to look at eating a little more meat or become more at risk of getting e coli.
However, it has come to my attention that some people turn to being a vegetarian because of animal cruelty of the meat industry. I can agree with this reason of choosing to become one because you're boycotting the meat industry, protesting, and I'm guessing you guys want them to treat the cows better before they die. I did watch a documentary about how the conditions are in the slaughter houses, and how bad they treat the cows before their time is up. So I say yes that we should make it a bit more cleaner, but no to the fact that I believe they were put on this earth for us to eat, just like all the other animals we eat, and they just taste too good to give up.
Many people are vegetarians for many reasons, and this post only talks about the ones who choose to be vegetarians or extreme "vegy" eaters, this has nothing to do with those who are vegetarians because of their religion. I say that too much of anything is bad, so you need to have a balance. Look at the food pyramid.

New Editions to Absolute Thinker

2010-01-02T14:35:00.000-08:00

To start the new year off, I will be starting a book list, movie reviews, and something to do with music. If you have ever heard of Oprah then you have heard of her famous book club. It will be kind of set up like that, it will be a list of books that everyone should read, and if you have any book suggestions just email me. I will also be starting movie reviews telling what's coming up, what to see, what not to see, and everything in between. I will also do music coverage. I don't know what exactly I'll be doing with the music category but if you have any ideas that you would like to see get put to use please let me know by emailing me.

If you have any other categories you would like me to add or cover email me at st.lacaria@gmail.com

Happy 2010

2010-01-01T20:58:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years everyone! It's a new year to start over for those of us that screwed up last year. New Years has to be my favorite holiday, second being Halloween because I get to scare the living hell out of little children, but New Years is the only holiday that gives me an adrenaline rush. Every second of every minuet leading up to 12:00 am and then the countdown I practically have an anxiety attack. But the biggest reason I love New Years is because for a split second, just for the tiniest moment in life, in the world, everyone is experiencing the same thing. Maybe not all at the exact moment but nonetheless we all experienced it at some point in time, for me I feel as though at that split moment in time that everyone is one, that we are all the same on this planet, no matter how different we are we're all still alive for another year, we have all made it this far and that's why we're celebrating. As for the inmates in prison it's another year closer to parole...

Why Would I Pay $8 To Make Out!

2009-08-10T11:13:00.000-07:00

How stupid is it to pay $16 dollars just so that you can make out at the movie theatre?
I'll tell you, IT'S VERY STUPID! So this is how it goes; first you meet a girl; then you ask her out; when she says yes, you then decide where to go on your date, which usually ends up going to the movies. What the crazy thing is, is that they usually pick a movie that they both want to see! They then go in to the movie theatre, sit down, get comfortable, and start to hold hands. When it gets dark and the movie progresses, and they are sure that it's too dark to see the person to the right or left of them, they begin to kiss, which leads to making out during the whole movie untill it's over. When they realize what they had done, and because it was a movie that they both wanted to see, they then have to either pay for another tickett to see it again another time or they have to wait till it comes out on dvd. THAT'S STUPID.
I guess it's not a big deal for the girl because she didn't have to pay for the tickett, but I'm not that kind of a guy. I'll pay for the tickett, but if it's a movie that I want to see, I'm going to sit there and watch the whole movie because I paid to see it, and I'm not going to waste $16 dollars. Just not gonna happen.
I what I'm trying to get at is that if you want to end up just making out, at least choose a movie niether of you want to go see. In that way I have no problem wasting $16 dollars. But I much rather pay for a $5 dollar dvd and make out at my house.

Jesus is Middle Eastern

2009-06-18T11:50:00.000-07:00

Something that has always ticked me off is that there are people who think that Jesus was black or white. Now I'm sure some of you are saying, "Why does it matter?" "Who cares?" Well actually it matters a lot.

First of all we are taught that Jesus was half man and half God, and that he was a real man. So we all agree that Jesus was a real man, who actually lived on this planet in the Middle East correct? Okay then, therefor if he was a real man who lived in the Middle East then he must be Middle Eastern. Saying that Jesus was a real man and then saying that he was black would be geographically incorrect! If you are born in China you are Chinese, if you were born in Italy then you are Italian, if you are born in Spain you are Spanish. Do you see the pattern? And even as a Catholic I am ashamed that we try to make him look white in the Stations of the Cross because it is incorrect. It's not possible.

Then there are the people who say in reply of this is that "Jesus is all the colors of the rainbow." No! Again it is not possible, If you believe that Jesus was a real person who lived in the Middle East he would not have every color in the rainbow or every color of humans around the world. The closer to the equator the darker you are, farther away from the equator the lighter your skin is, it's just that simple.

If you don't believe this then you are contradicting yourself because if you believe that Jesus was a real man who lived on this planet in the Middle East then he is Middle Eastern, and that's a fact. What can be argued is that Jesus was the messiah or not, that is the only thing you can argue.

South Americans are American too You Know.

2009-05-28T16:13:00.000-07:00

The United States aren't the only people that can call themselves "American", did you know that? Actually people in Mexico and Canada and also people in South America can call themselves "American" and guess why.... because they are all in North America and South America, notice how they all end with "America" Therefore they can call themselves that. So we are not the only ones that can say that. So I think it's rude for the United States to think that we are the only ones that are allowed to use that word, as if we came up with that word ourselves. So I have no problem with other countries in North America, Central America and South America calling themselves "American" and no one else should either. Why do you think it's called United States of America.

There are only 5 continents?

2009-05-28T15:19:00.000-07:00

This is something I have always had a problem with. In the United States we are told there are seven continents; North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. that pretty much cover it all up right? Wrong, where is Central America? So you include North America and South America but not Central America?! How stupid!

In Central America countries are taught that there are five continents; the Americas; which include north, central, and south, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania; which includes Australia, Antarctica, and the Philippians. Now I don't exactly agree with this but it does make a good point.

The way I see it, is that there are two ways to organize every country on this planet without none of them left out.

The first option is this: the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.

The second option is: North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.

But also one of my friends said that North America should just be the U.S. and Canada and Central America should be a continent on it's own with Mexico. Tell me what you think below.

But I believe there should either be six continents or eight.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!!!!

First click on this link below to read this article and then watch the clip.

What in the world is wrong with this kid?! Actually, I know what's wrong with him or her or whatever the hell it is, the kid is just f**ked up in the head. Does God really mess up on some people on accident as if we're all created on an assembly line and one of the angels were drunk because of a party the other night and he forgot to put the brain in one of the bodies or does he do it on purpose just for fun? Either way that thing thinks it is a girl.

But wait a minute, if that boy thinks he's a girl, then truly he likes d**ks... right? So he's really gay. But the bottom line is is that it's gross, God made you a boy! You have a p***s, that is what separates us from them. If you feel like a girl and your a guy then by all means act like one, so that everyone knows from the get go that your gay and it saves a lot of trouble for people like me trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with you. You can feel like a girl but you can't become one from the beginning, therefor it's unnatural. I have nothing against gay, bi, bi curious, or lesbian people, but something about transgender people that make me want to puke and stab my eyes out with a sharpened number 2 pencil. And what's wrong with the parents for letting the child be what it wants to be, if I was the parent I would be like, "WHAT?! You are a boy! What is that between your legs? You are not a girl so get it out of you head!" and then i would go throw up.

No but seriously, we should all just be accepting of what the child or any child wants to become even if the kid wants to be a freak the rest of their lives, at least it's happy. I guess.

Rich People Tendencies

2009-05-20T17:23:00.000-07:00

Most rich folks have tendencies to do certain things. And I say "most" because there are a few who are rich now but worked very hard to get to where they are now or they were down in the dumps and they figured out something that would make them rich. But what those people have in common is that they know what it feels like to be at the bottom of the food-chain or have a rough life, and they tried to make it better. But then there are the people who had a tough life and they finally hit the jackpot, but when they finally get kids, they spoil them like crazy! And most of them say it's because they want to give their kids the stuff they never got, and not to feel the same way they did when they were in their childhood. That's all very fine and everything but you have to make them understand the hard times you had to go through to get to where you are now, and that nothing is just given to you, you have to apply yourself, you have to do the dirty work yourself. Because if not and the kid goes to school no one will be able to relate to him or her, or they'll be little, stuck up, spoiled brats and no one will like them. And that is one of the reasons why they go to private school, so that they can be with their own kind. There they are able to relate to each other because they all are able to get the same stuff, and be stuck up with each other. The other reason why they go to private school is that they can afford it, but not only that they make sure they can afford it so that they're not around the bad kids in public school who have sex, and do drugs and kill! Because they believe that's what public school is all about. And also because they don't believe that their kids would do anything like that because they're precious angels and have no clue what sex is and drugs are. So they tend to shelter their kids from all of the violence that goes on in the real world. But what they don't know is that their kids know exactly what sex is and what are drugs and some know how to get them, because their is always some preppy kid that sells it to other preppy kids. But what's worse about rich kids doing drugs and a kid that lives in the projects and goes to public school and has a tough life is that you can tell whether that even if the kid does drugs he's not doing anything worse than ten dollars worth of pot. Because rich kids can afford more than simple weed and could go higher if they wanted to, and they still wont be caught, or they try extremely hard not to, because it's all about appearance and so they have everyone fooled. The grown ups just think the world of them and would never suspect little Edward to ever pick up a blunt, because he's a straight a student. Another tendency with rich people is that once they do get caught they get away with it. You all know what I'm talking about, if you have the money you can get out of it with minor damages or your consequence will be reduced to community service or be able to leave jail and then come back whenever you please, Paris Hilton. It happens all the time here in the US. And another tendency of rich people is that most of them are republicans because they get to have tax breaks. They should be treated just like everyone else no exception! So thank God for Obama!

And then there are the classic rich people, the ones who became rich because of their parents. They don't even have to do anything except wait for their parents to die and then they get it all. And once this cycle gets started it's very hard to stop it, it's just one long line of lazy people that don't have to do anything or very little, because they already have what they want. So therefore there's no motivation to do anything. But last but not least, this has to be the most annoyingest thing for me is that I hate kids to say, "Well, I'm rich" or anything saying the words "I'm" followed right after by the word "rich" because first of all your coming off as a pompas a**whole and secondly, your not rich your parents are, it's not your money, did you do anything to earn that money? You can only say that if you can take out your wallet right now and grab more than five 100 dollar bills, otherwise your not rich.

Pull Your Gym Shorts Down or I'll Do it for You

2009-05-19T17:44:00.000-07:00

Everyday I have P.E. and the students in there have a weird fascination of sneaking up behind someone and pulling down their gym shorts. I only have one question, WHY? Especially boys pulling other boy's gym shorts down. I don't know if it's because they like seeing butts, no matter whose it belongs to, or because it's the only time of day that their victims are wearing something that is easy to pull down, or perhaps it's because they're secretly gay and this is the only way to get "some action" without people thinking they are. But wait... that can't be it because just today a guy had done it to a girl during gym class, and everyone saw that she was wearing a thong and they all threw up at the sight of it. But the point is, pulling down any one's gym shorts is wrong, because it may cause a huge catastrophe causing people to lose their eye sight and cause a lost of appetites for many days on end. So pull shorts down wisely if you must do it. Thank you.

Why Do People Do What They Do

2009-05-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

Why do people think that because you have more than one of something, that they are entitled to the other ones. For example, one day, at school, I went to lunch, as usual, while waiting in line to buy food I had a burst of hunger for six Swiss Rolls and only six Swiss Rolls. After buying them I proceeded to my table where I sit everyday and as I was getting settled in, using one arm to pull a chair to the table because my other arm was occupied holding my six Swiss Rolls, I began to get attention from my friends who were looking at my Swiss Rolls with wide eyes, and licking their lips wanting one of them. I sat down and said, "What are you guys looking at?" One of them replied, " How many Swiss Rolls do you have?" " Oh, about six," I said. And then somone asked me if they could have one and when I said no she said, "But you have so many, you don't need all of them." And that's when I got angry... Why do you think I bought all of them, so that I could just give them away, NO! I bought them so that I could eat them! I f you want a Swiss Roll so badly go buy them yourself! Just because I have more than one of something doesn't mean I don't want it. It means that I want more than one because one isn't good enough! And it seems to be like that all the time at my school, " If you have more than one of anything here at school you are obligated to share." I don't know who came up with that policy, I guess I didn't get the memo, but I'm going to try everything to get that out of people's heads.

A Modern Thinker

2009-05-17T10:43:00.000-07:00

Everyday you meet people, correct? And as you get to know them, you learn their likes, dislikes, personality, and character. You can also say that you learn what kind of thinker they are. There are all kinds of thinkers because everyone has different opinions. But what determines what kind of thinker you are is by how you were brought up. Your mind is blank when you're a baby, so obviously its up to your parents to pass on their thoughts and opinions about the world they live in. This may differ from one family to another. For example, a family that makes a lot of money is going to raise their children differently from a family that has less money.

Where you live also determines how you think. For instance, people from different regions in the United States differ in their thoughts and opinions about the world. In the "bible belt" (and trust me, I know all about this because I live the "bible belt"), you can't walk out of a grocery store or any store for that matter without seeing a King James bible on the rack while your waiting to pay for your items. Now, the people that live in the "bible belt" are ALL about God, and do not like anything that goes against the bible, because they believe that the bible is the only thing that matters and that it is absolutely true, and they take it very literally. I have a friend that fits this exact profile, my friend believes that science is the devil and that it's all fake(yeah, I know right?). He believes that nothing matters other than the bible (but I don't want to go in too much detail, I'll save it for another discussion) but this is just how he thinks, this is what leads me to my point. I am a modern thinker, because I was brought up to decide things on my own whether it be true or not. So that I can form my own opinions and no one else's. I believe that as technology advances we must also, but that doesn't mean you don't believe in the bible if you have an Ipod in your ears while your surfing the Internet. When the bible was written they didn't know how the earth still worked and that there are many tiny little things called atoms that make up everything in the universe or that the earth revolved around the sun not the other way around. Technology can be a good thing and we must keep up with it, and you can still do that while you practice your religion. Science isn't the devil, if anything it's God letting us see what else there is, revealing this mysterious world we live in. And as a great man once said religion and science can grow together- Pope John Paul II. It is 2009, we do not use candles for light during the darkness, we do not have to ride horses or walk to where we want to go, and we don't have to kill to eat. People from the past would have loved to have what we have now in our daily lives, that's why people invented them. Technology is supposed to make life easier not to disprove God. It's time that people grow up and move with the times, and see for what the world really is.
