  1. If I had been able to do that I would have but I can't I am shoveling AP Classes in. If your son can do it why does he not take AP Bio and Marine Bio as an elective.I love Marine Bio and would give anything to take it over AP Chem but I plan to major in Bio with a minor in lit and need all the science I can get.

     

    note do not do this if he has not taken bio :)

  2. Oh, my goodness. Looking at your tag line and all of the AP classes you are taking this year... AT 15??? Honey, I am exhausted looking at the list.

     

    Best of luck to you with these tests!!

     

    Thank You:001_smile: I am actually going to register today and I feel like I am going to my own execution. The only reason I am taking the AP Chem this year is because if I fail it will give me next year as a second chance. Can you tell moral is up:glare:

  3. All depends on age activity and gender. For people like me I have issues with pretty much all foods so no pork, beef is pretty rough also, and I find chicken kind of funny is almost taste like Iron to me. So that leaves me with fish which I have occasionally you need meats when the surrounding plants can't sustain you ie winter. Now obviously we do not need meats but some of us like me who were gifted with some of the nastiest allergies are stuck eating kinda funny foods.

     

    ps Just so you know you have won this argument you are insanely persistent and have a fact to back all opinions. :tongue_smilie:

  4. @Wendy B I was not comparing my situation to yours it was just an example. Yes I got your viewpoint what I wrote was just a few memories that crept back into my mind. Also depending on where you go the way people view you changes drastically.

     

    @ktgrok I live in less than 300 square feet :D I like fake leather , and when I buy honey its from local farmers who only have a few hives (I have allergies and my allergist told me this would help never did anything so I stopped). I would be lying if I told you I did not feel a twinge of guilt every time I eat meat. I realize I cannot fix everything but if it were up to me I would fix all these problems. Kind of funny how I will die and the same issues will still be being raised :D. Technically we are omnivores, I am sure if a wolf was hungry and I was its only option I would be dinner. Its the cycle of life isn't it?

     

    @ktgrok Who says eagles do not have a right to life? They are born and die just like me and you they reproduce, they fall ill and the court (watch their courtship its quite beautiful).

  5. If that's your standard, you don't _need_ bald eagles to exist.

     

    If (I assume) you are American, then religious freedom is a right that can be infringed on only when other constitutionally guaranteed rights are at stake. "Having nice bald eagles to look at" is not a right. "Never having any bald eagles die, ever" is also not a right.

     

     

    Good point but what gives you, me or the native americans the right to kill anything they will not "die" without. By dead I mean like not breathing, cold foot, beggining to turn into a mushy pile of ick not emotionally dead.

  6. Considering that:

     

    ~In Wisconsin there are currently more bald eagles than any time since Europeans entered the state. They are in no way either threatened or endangered, in fact they are thriving.

     

    ~We have decided, as a country, to give Native Tribes the respect of national sovereignty.

     

    ~We have laws protecting religious freedoms if they do not infringe on the rights of others, disrupt society, or seriously detract from the land's future.

     

    ~We have a history of not respecting Native rights as sovereign nations, human beings with their own cultural beliefs, or religious believers. We have since, and are currently, trying to correct this.

     

    ~We allow people to hunt for trophies, eliminate disease, keep the ecological balance, or eliminate potential predators which could annoy us.

     

    ~Native Americans, in general, have a much more respectful/equitable relationship with animals.

     

     

    I have no problems with this. I respect animals, but there are far more flippant or greedy animal rights offenders than this tribe.

     

    I think part of the problem here is that people don't consider religious/cultural beliefs a legitimate *need* to a society. Personally, I find 2 eagles to be as legitimate as killing deer/civet/whales/beaver to cull the ingredients for making perfume. And most of us have owned perfume at one point or another. Not to mention the thousands of animal products that make our lives more comfortable but which aren't truly necessary for survival.

     

    I consider the renewing of tribal tradition and society to be at least that important.

     

    We need Oxygen we want religious ceremonies because we find them comforting. There is nothing wrong with wanting something but when do we draw the line as people not a country.

  7. Alright third try posting this :glare:

     

    @Wendy B I understand Native Americans are treated awful. I am hispanc and have had some rough things happen because of it. I once had my 2nd grade teacher make me wear a straw hat and sing spanish songs while the class laughed at me. I was called a spick the rest of the year she was a pretty backwards women to say the least.

     

     

    Look botton line if you do not need it to make it to the next day do not kill it. If you insist on killing for religious purpose do it get it over with and stop calling it an honorable killing. Eventually we all die and guess what given the chance between starving to death and killing something I will be first in line with a weapong hunting that animal down but if it has no reason to die I think its a crime. I just watched a show yesterday about this guy who shot a mountain lion . Yes its a beautiful creature but its was killing all of his live stock and had cornerd one of his children and was scaring the whole town they shot it problem solved. There was a distinct need to kill this animal as someone had been killed by a mountain lion the year before and they were pretty sure this was the lion.

  8. Why do we keep saying its an honorable death. I do not think anybody wants to die and when you think about it we are the ones who think its honorable not the eagle. You need it for your ritual fine but there is nothing honorable death. Yes there is always a more painful and disgraceful way to die (just look at the news) but that does not mean we make the death any better because it is killed for ceremony.

     

    NOTE: I realize this is for their ceremony and yes they deserve it for their religion but I am just saying its not honorable.
