Do we have choice in life?

It's my belief that killing and eating an animal that is intelligent enough to have self-awareness and the ability to empathise with other mammals of other species, and that especially treats humans with empathy and kindness, is unethical - if ethics have any meaning to you at all as a determinant of proper behavior toward other sentient beings. It's in a way the ultimate betrayel of the trust placed in us by a cooperative species. -Roy Niles

I couldn't have said it any better myself. What this is in regards to is the senseless slaughter of dolphins what the Japanese call "the Dolphin Drive" there is a petition that you can sign at www.actfordolphins.org their goal is a million signatures to present to the government of Japan. If you would sign it, that would be great. If not? well I tried anyways.
Thanks!

Ok, so people say they see spirits. I dont believe them. i jsut think that whoever sees these spirits are paranoid, like they think so much about them that they see them, sort of like the placebo effect. then i heard that if you do not believe in them, you will never see them. so, is my theory right? like is just in people's imaginations, or are they real and im jsut not a believer? what do u think?

why did god create the world impefect and full of evil while he could create a happy perfect place? why did he create us imperfect then judge us for what we did? It doesnt make sense.. He could create everything good and beautiful and we would all be happy. There s no need for all this evil vs good thing.. we wouldn't complaine if we were born in a perfect world. I don't think someone would say then "oh, i miss satan" or "if only there were some evil to spice it up a little" If heaven is said to be a beautiful place where there will be no evil, what's wrong with keeping it this way? and don't mention eve and the apple, like he didn't make her give him the apple, like he didn't know everything beforehand.

Has an event ever occurred in your life that you look back on now and can pinpoint as the time your thinking, attitudes or life focus was completely changed for ever?

In studying limitations, will we not open up possibilities for overcoming them? Do you have any idea of how these limitations can be explained?

Categorizations, metaphors, aphorisms, antropomorphisms, diagrams, models, correlations, computations... What are these things, and can you shed any light upon what might be beyond them? And if there is a 'beyond'.. could it lie in technology? If so, what is it?

I know this has been asked before. I hate the phrase "everything happens for a reason". If fate exists, than you could make every decision with the flip of a coin. If "fate" is really in control, and you did what the coin said, than every decision you make would be the right one. I'm going to ask a similar question under religion, and see what the "faithful" say.

Wisdom and Luck This must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. Or get an unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious, otherwise faith impaired. 1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills their conversational skills will be as important as any other. 3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. 4. When you say, "I love you," mean it. 5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eyes. 6.Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 7. Believe in love at first! sight. 8.Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't dreams don't have much.9.Love deeply, passionately.

I wrote this poem for my parents for a christmas present is it good or at least descent


Going shopping or
Snowmobiling till were done
Everything we do is always so much fun
Making dinner or
Working on a car
I will always help you no matter how far
Going to family parties or
Just a little get together
Being will you always makes me feel better
Going on walks or
Hanging out a home
I will always know that I will never be alone
The laughs that we share and
The times that we have
I will love you forever because you’re my mom and dad

I think of existence then I exist?
If the concept of infinity is accepted, then ALL things are infinite. Imagine infinity as something that is stretching, constantly, a moving entity. This means that everything within it is also stretching. Note: Don't take stretching literally, it is symbolic. It is easy to imagine infinity as a moving entity rather than being static. Being static gives the impression of a beginning and an end.
So, without understanding relativity as the theory of another but as an idea of infinite relativity. It is infinity that is the relation of everything.
Within infinity it makes sense that there are infinite possibilities. So don't rule out any.
p.s There are no theories in this post and no proclamations so don't jump to conclusions.(without thinking about it)
