There is a growing concern within the equine industry about the actions and beliefs of some animal rights activists. Do you think they have legitimate concerns? Or do you think we should act to keep these groups from taking control of our industry?
I agree that practices such as tail blocking and soring should really be clamped down on and although illegal, more should be done to discourage it. However I feel that the horse industry should be applying pressure from within for change, not from activists that know nothing about the inner workings of the industry. In the majority of cases they use scaremongering tactics and half truths to further their cause - what do you think?

IS there ANY way I can fix this myself? I don't feel that it is worth the money to get it repaired.. that's if I even had the money. If I had that kind of money I would just buy a new one.

According to the news, the McCans are going to be interviewed separately, Mrs. McCann today (6th Sept) and Mr. McCann on Monday. I found this article on the net. Who agrees (or disagrees) ?
" What is going on here? -Why haven't the parents been interviewed by social workers? What is going on here?
Is it now legal for British parents to leave their tiny children alone while they go out for fun? It clearly was unsafe to leave these three small children alone. One of them is now missing.
The McCanns chose to go out to have a good time leaving three small children alone in a flat in a foreign country.
These were not impoverished teenagers who didn't know any better. They are thirty-eight-year-old doctors.
What sort of example were they setting? -What sort of example are media commentators who excuse them setting?
Where are the interfering, busy body social workers when they're really needed? " --Please comment.

My friend recently contracted an STD (Chlamydia) from her boyfriend. Of course he flipped the script and it's blaming her for it. He said that he went to the doctor yesterday and was tested, and it came back negative. He also told her that his doctor said that she probably had the stuff for the past 10 months. Mind you they've been having sex the entire time, but he doesn't have it??? I told her that this is absurd; I truly believe that he had it. Then he gave it to her, and once he found out, he took care of it. I know that she's soooo in love with him, and at this point is willing to forgive him. The only problem is that I strongly feel he's going to do this again. He travels a lot, and he's living the fast life. My friend has (2) little girls that need their mother; what if she catch something worst the next time? then what happens?? I wish I could find tangible proof that shows her that he's lying about not having the STD. Help! thanks! nini :-( FYI....He's an attorney.

I often see the words "ethics and morality" used almost as synonyms. SAT-in-a-Box, by Kaplan, says "ethical" means conforming to accepted standards. It says the synonyms are: honorable, moral. This is ambiguous and can be exploited.

What do you think about the following novel distinction? Ethics regards a wide range of relationships; Morality regards one's own emotional/spiritual health; they are different, but very interdependent. Ethics is like the relationship of the planets to each other and the sun, whereas Morality is equivalent to each planet revolving on its own axis. A popular character education expert said, “Sometimes ‘ethical’ is used as a synonym for ‘moral,’ as in, ‘He is a very ethical (moral) person.’ For some people, ‘moral’ has religious connotations that "ethical" does not. The relevant field of psychology, however, has been called "moral development" ... no religious connotation there... “

I saw a weird boat on the Maumee River in Toledo, OH. It was orange and fairly small or stubby. The top above the waterline was mostly curved like an elongated bubble. It has a ledge near the water line. It was about 18 -25 feet long. There was no open area for seating, etc. Any idea what it was?

Could it be because:
1. I get between 6/7hours sleep and have to get up at 6am (all summer I slept in to about 11!)
2. I don't have a good diet but I eat breakfast every morning no matter what the stomach forecast is
3. I get nervous easily.. I don't see many people here in the country and then when I get to school.. BOOM!

I get a really sick feeling in my stomach every morning.. it lasts all day.. with a few headaches included.. I drink 2 painkillers.. doesn't do anything.

I can't enjoy making new friends and stuff with this bokey feeling... really sux.

Do anymore students have this? why is it?
