Interesting question philosophically. Seemingly no answer can be "correct" as all these are personal potato truths. :) Perhaps when the potato becomes part of a greater purpose, in becoming a "meal", or "sustenance"... It gives up itself to the greater good, and is no longer an individual, but...

Definitely. I've killed rabbits I raised to eat them, I could definitely kill a puppy for that kind of money. Cute shouldn't carry so much weight in this world... Looks are quite a bit overrated. Does the puppy have a good personality? Probably not as much yet, since it's just a puppy...

Lol, that is chickeny, yes... And it was intentional, partly because I wanted to see if you'd post the Cibo Matto song "Know Your Chicken" because the video is great... Having trouble linking it though, on my Nexus... Little help, maestro? :-)

What happens if you don't know your chicken?

I have also heard that, but it always sounds selfish... I think you should like yourself alright, but I prefer to only have love for one other person, and feel it means more like "be the best you can and have some self esteem" kinda thing. Ya know? I think you're totally normal, Eventhorizon. :)

I read several pages. :) Some jobs definitely need drug testing. EMS, most health care jobs, machinery, etc. Fair or not, is there going to be legislation reducing the reach of drug testing? Probably not, though the drugs tested for may not presently be fair, testing itself is a reality for...

Agreed. To get back on track, someone also made a good point that you must be drug tested for work, so why not for welfare? Both are choices or directly related to choices already made, so why is that unfair?

Besides, child services visited them MULTIPLE times over the years without removing the kids. As I recall, a teacher reported them. Once when one of the girls had a broken leg, but that was from an actual accident. The mother was abused by the boyfriend, but the kids never were, to my...

Somehow it always seemed better for the kids to keep the mother in the picture since it allowed grandma to basically raise them and take them to church. The extended family isn't all screwed up, just the mother. Relying on reporting parties isn't the best method either, nor are home...

Ambidexterity, ftw! And as people change, so too could their types.

I'm not for testing everyone, but based on personal experiences with a friend of mine, I say test those receiving actual cash money, including the prepaid debit cards. My friend is a grandmother of four, with a learning-deficient druggie daughter (she's hard to describe, e.g. she won't make the...

Hmm, some similarities... Fear of failure for sure. Fear of not being in control of situations... Fear of judgment and fear of the unknown. Mind you I'm not agoraphobic, but somewhat easily startled or temporarily anxiety-riddled too easily. :( Recent health issue has forced this to be...

2 views, one for just me and one for the masses: Me: I think general education should be pushed less. Sure, some people may benefit from being forced to learn about things that don't interest them at a time when they need to be stimulated with their chosen field, but some of us won't put our...

I want a career that supports my pro-nature agenda :) Also, I like working with people who aren't asshats.

It could just be the witty-sarcastic charm that us INTJ females are blessed with :m027: Otherwise, my INTJ husband does (also) seem to say things that could be taken wrong if I thought he meant them that way, but honestly they're usually not meant to be rude. We're not mean, our humor is often...
