sikhnet

sikhnet is a well known sikh website. i think it'd be cool to be apart of the staff. i know a decent bit about internet - stuff and i think i could help bring in some more liberalism into the extreme conservative nature of the current sikhnet boards.

greenpeace

ever since i saw the doc on greepeace and their efforts out in the arctic with the whales and shit i've been impressed with what these people can do. they will literally send out a fishing vessel out to the arctic to follow japanese whaling ships in order to make sure they will not pull a whale aboard. for whatever reason the whalers refuse to whale on camera, so this disables their whaling operation. if they can get a camera on the main ship, then they've blocked the entire fleet from being able to bring in whale meat. to me it just seems like a very hands on way to bring about good in the world. you can actually be on the front lines. you can fight for something worthwhile. you can make a measurable difference in the world. to me that's an alluring prospect. the idea that i could be out on a fishing boat, helping stop the japanese from mincing a massive whale, our largest creature, and their "science resource" and known food source, it just seems terrible we reduce these creatures to mere meal rather than appreciating their majesty. we after all can survive on vegetarian living. our teeth arent designed for us to be carnivorous. while we are omnivores, we're clearly not meant to be eating other creatures. its moreso fruit and berry living that keeps us healthy & happy. so why we go to such great lengths to mince these massive creatures on metal boat grinders haul it to land then go through so much trouble to package and process all this meat - to me its a great disrespect to life and should be outlawed. these cattle farm slaughterhouses and these fisheries which're breeding beds for new diseases, these chicken cooks where het animals are fed pieces of their forefathers as meal, the conditions are terrible and its a blight on the living world. we as humans must put an end to our machines destructive nature, the age of brutism needs to come to an end, and we're starting to wake up to the worlds beating heart, and our attempts to plunder all their is and stop the lifeflow that keeps everything alive and well on this planet.
