Vegans Unite with PETA, and cancel your plans to Nepal, NOW!

So how many backpackers that are Vegans will protest and boycott travel to Nepal due to the Hindu Festival starting in which they slaughter 250,000 buffalo, sheep and chicken with swords?

Maybe 3....

Greetings!

I hope this note finds you doing well!!! December 13th of this year marks the day that our lovely mother turns the big 5-0!! This is not only a day to celebrate, but also an occasion that should last. We toyed with the idea of throwing a big 50th birthday party, but decided instead that a SURPRISE vacation would be the gift that would allow her to cut loose and really celebrate the event. Mom has made our birthdays feel so special and memorable, so in honor of her big milestone, Jennifer and I would like to send her (along with Earl) on a Mexican vacation. Jennifer and I will be funding the majority of the expense, but would like to ask for contributions to help make the vacation a truly special one. Any donations will be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Mom will be so touched to know that all her family and friends joined together to give her an unforgettable celebration. Thanks so much!... more »

So much for 'Socialist!'

The Swedish govt won't nationalize Saab? Brand nears extinction ? Would European govts have abandoned their workers (& "national car brands") had this happened 10, 20 years ago ?

Did anyone "like" Bill Clinton because he was White?

Or George Bush, or Ronald Reagan... because they were "White"?
Barry is really unpopular, if you ignore the racists who like him.

Do you have a plan?

For your life I mean?

Or are you drifting along?

I was just looking at photos from the trip I was on 10 years ago.. I really had no plan at all, I just wanted to travel as much as I could. Earn money, spend money on travelling, stop and work, earn money, spend money and travel. I was bumming around sleeping on floors, living in hostels, getting down to £1 in a bank before getting a panic cash job, getting it up a bit then moving on. It was GREAT. I have no idea though what I'd have thought of what I'm doing right now.

Horse racing.

It is hard to understand why anyone would get excited about such a trivial thing as whether one horse runs faster than another horse. Why should I care? Will this stupid activity be around a thousand years from now?

Someone I know..

.. just had to have a late term abortion (baby wouldn't have made it through birth, even if it had made it through the pregnancy).

They are allowed to keep the dead body of this baby for 36 hours before handing it back for post mortem.

Erm.. why would that be then? I mean, do you think there is much call for keeping the dead body of your baby for 36 hours? Where would you put it?

Before anyone has a go, obviously this is an awful thing etc, but I just don't 'get' that logistics/timing thing.
