Who the heck are you talking to? Who's "we" and when did "we" decide to be cool with "murdering" things?

And I'm being shallow when I do what exactly? Eat meat? Who said I eat meat?

I'm sorry you feel the need to justify your habits so loudly to strangers. Do you do that a lot? I also apologize for not suffering from cognitive dissonance by not killing animals I find cute to satisfy non-existent primitive caveman urges.

Protip right back at ya: Humans got out of the caves and invented food technology some thousands of years ago. You have better stuff to do with your time and brains than play pretend Tarzan.

While I don't condone animal cruelty, I don't much care for "mother nature" and its mindlessness either.

Yeah right, they hunt and eat seal hearts out of "necessity" as per m.ducharme, but they would really not prefer to have a Panera Bread restaurant next door. Cause you know, the real estate prices would really drop then! And all that free time from not living at a subsistence level, that would be just the worst thing possible for society right? And really, who needs time to think or create when you can be out killing stuff?

I'm sorry. If she's been through all that and still is stupid enough to pull that seal heart stunt, yeah she deserves that epitaph.

William Fucking Shatner at the very least inspired 2 or 3 generations of kids around the world to look at the stars and dream of achieving great things.

Yes, in fact I do. It was a pointless and barbaric public stunt.

Just because people are "indigenous" doesn't suddenly make them saints or angels or beyond reproach.

How about enabling them to move into the real world? Education and the like? Set up a Panera Bread or something? Oh wait.. not newsworthy enough. Lets keep the "indigenous" where they are! Dependent on handouts and and always on display for a pitying public in the yearly photo ops.

Good sentiments, but why stop there? Some people go beyond and call themselves 'world citizens', others call themselves just 'humans', others still just 'animals' and some claim to be just part of the universe.

I guess different people have different levels of self-definition.

Actual advantages of Android phones:
Google Voice integration
Free navigation (no need to carry a separate gps device)
Porn (via apps)

Sufficient to beat the higher polish on the iphone? Many people think so. Funnily enough, all these advantages would not exist if Apple had an open app store policy.

They carefully learn all of the science, which can take 5 years of graduate school, 2 years of post-doctoral work and 5 years as a professor.

But you are still expected to produce papers all of those years or you don't get to progress from stage to the next at all! I wonder how that works.
