i'd do almost the same as mozzie, only i'd change the crackers for nachos. nuts and dry fruits are also good and hmm once you live in a place where's winter now.. some soup served inside a italian bread each portion, or a fondue would be nice options as well...

even though being illegal, i think the best thing you could do, as long as you teens are not smuggling pot, would be talking seriously to them about pot's harm to their bodies as well as the drug dealing problems related to consuption. If one or both insist in smoking then i'd try to keep an eye on them to see wether they're addicted or just using it seldomly just as some people would have a booze. If the 1st case was happening THEN i'd take them to rehab...

Thinking about some articles i've read recently, the biggest problem on marijuana is buying it from dealer, who can offer stronger and more dangerous stuff...

i think most of your questions r a bit silly, a bit naïve, but we're in a free zone. feel free to ask whatever you want.

me too

there are studies which prove that cow, chicken, lambs, pork, goat, fish have self conscience... they also have 'best friends' in their groups and may suffer from psychological diseases.

By the way, i'm an atheist and a vegetarian because of the reasons mentioned above.

hahaha gr8!

Aristotle analyzed the soul and found it to have three parts: the Nutritive Soul (plants, animals and humans), the Perceptive Soul (animals and humans) and the Rational Soul (humans only). If you consider that the 1st and 2ns parts of the soul mentioned are the only responsibles for physical and psychological welfare if you take them out of their natural habitat, raise them with a bunch of hormones, confined... ONLY to be slaughtered for human pleasure/vanity/consumption is that fair?

my kitten was so sensitive that she (i dislike calling them IT) became over worried about my anorexia (i'm cured now) and had begun to hurt herself really bad. At first, we thought her wounds were caused by some bacteria or allergy only month later we came to meet Ceres, who is a vet. with phd in psychology. She told me that mammals, some birds and fishes too have close relationship to others from theirs species. For an example, cows and oxes are usually seen with the same companions when raised with the tiny liberty to graze. And scientists also found that they might become depressed with their friends absence.

Aristotle only concerns about human suffer when considering sth ethical. BUT if this are some of the reasons (besides the pain animals feel when slaughtered) you wouldn't hurt humans why do it to another specie when they suffer just like us?

in the following link, you can see Peter Singer, an aussie philosopher, who's studied and witten a lot about "feeding ethics"

he will surely go far beyond this simple explanation i gave you. Beside that he's a great professor, so its not a bit boring.

nope. USA is. Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Barbados, Cuba, México, Bolívia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Barbados, Panama... aren't responsible for war.

i'm a veggie but would like to have more will power (as sooner as possible) to become vegan, wich is the most ethical way of life.
