Sacrifice of a rabbit?
The rabbit's head was cleanly severed from its body, next to its entrails. it was perfectly placed, mind you, on my 3 ft tall block in my front yard near my driveway. It is evident that someone had placed it there. It could be kids messing around, however, the reason I take the time to post a question on yahoo is to find any information pertaining to dead animals and possible occult sacrifices, seeing that it was intentionally placed where it was.
Is "Loyalty" better defined as self-sacrifice or self-interest?
Valac Gypsy- Thanks for the input, and certainly I *am* presenting a subjective view, to which “neither” is a perfectly valid response. However, you must appreciate that had I simply asked “What is loyalty?” many of the answers would have fallen outside my true interest in the subject matter. I think some framework is necessary for the gathering of focused opinions. :-)
My best friend beats me when she gets mad and she refuses to listen when I tell her to stop. I still love her. What can I do?
She is literally assaulting you.If you love her so much, get the hell away from her so she doesn’t have the chance to become more of an abusive dangerous person inching ever closer to a felony.And for god’s sake, a good friend doesn’t sit there like you and not stop someone from brutalizing them, or rather, keep taking it every single time (yes, you told her to stop, and she doesn’t, but did you leave? Did you stay away from her? No, you didn’t). You might think the best most loyal friend would, sacrifice in the name of love, but that’s complete & utter bollocks. A good friend stands up when the friend is wrong, and badly wrong. Your friend is mean, cruel, phsyically abusive and callous, refusing to quit harming someone when warned to stop.A good friend is going to tell them that. A good friend would say to them, “Do not hit me, ever again, if we have a problem. Do you see what you are? How horrible and abusive you are? Do you think it’s okay to assault your friends when you’re angry, just because you’re angry? I’m not a punching bag. I love you and I’m your friend, but don’t ever touch me like that again.” If she doesn’t get any hint, well, sorry but, you need to bring the law into this. Maybe you can/are okay being assaulted, but others won’t be. There’s not the least guarantee she won’t really harm someone- or that someone she tries to beat on does not take kindly to it in the least, and beats her til her bones break.
Would you rather be an only child or have siblings?
I have just dealt with it but I'll never really be happy with my situation. My brother is my stepbrother and not biological brother, but for all practical purposes there is a boy sibling. I miss being an only child so much and long to go back to it. I hate it when people don't believe me when I say I would be better off. I never longed for a sibling, and if I had I would remember it. I remember wanting a pet so BAD. I thought it was every kid's dream to be an only child but I guess it depends on personality type. For example, my cousin's kid is an only kid and he says he wants a little brother so badly. I guess a lot depends on personality type, and I understand why he feels that way. I'm pretty sure he would be sad if it turned out to be a girl, and parents can't really control the kid's gender. It just seems like only children are happier. Only children can have a pet (what kid doesn't love pets). Only children can have stuff like extracurriculars, sports and music. You don't have to grab if you want something, no one to eat all your food or annoy you. On top of everything else my stepbrother is autistic, so he gets to abuse me and I get punished because I'm "normal" and he's special. My needs never get noticed because it's all about him. I know he didn't choose to be that way but he ruins my life and I hate him. I thought all kids wanted to be only children. Who would want to have to fight for their parents' affections, do without stuff, etc.?
Abortion pill for my dog Petra. Is this against the teachings of the Church?
My dog Petra is continously pregnant. Anytime I let her out, she always seems to sniff out any loose male hounds. She is a small terrier yet I have often seen her copulating with dogs which are several times her size. She is the canine version of a street hooker. The problem is that she is pregnant again; this will be her 8th litter of pups. I have had enough and my Father who is a local Pastor is threatening to throw me out of the house. I have decided to put an abortion pill into Petra's next feed and my best friend tells me that this will sort the problem out. However, my friend Jenny who is involved in the local church says that abortion is a sin and that when you see all the couples with no children that you should not support this dreadful procedure. I am giving Petra the pill tomorrow evening. Is this a sin and should I confess this at our next Church gathering? Please help.
Would you let a human die in order to save your dog?
Yes, I would without hesitation.And honestly, if someone else had a dog that they absolutely loved and it meant that they had to let me die, I wouldn’t like it obviously but I couldn’t really blame them. Although the whole situation would obviously immensely suck and I’d try to get out of it if possible but I wouldn’t blame them for choosing their dog over a total stranger.It’s choosing a total stranger’s life over your beloved family member. I’d always choose my beloved family member without hesitation.I don’t understand the obsession with putting human life above animal life. They are both living things that want to live. Most humans aren’t going to find the cure to cancer or do anything noteworthy in their life, so the average human’s life isn’t anymore important than an animals.And call me cynical, but I think humans can be so toxic that the chance of a toxic human dying is probably pretty high so I won’t even have to feel that bad. But if it was a “good” person, then I would feel beyond terrible and it would stick with me forever.It would obviously suck but I would absolutely choose my dog over a random human, it’s not even a question. But I do acknowledge that I won’t have the higher moral ground but who cares about that, when it’s my dog’s life I’m talking about.
Does anyone know any good cheaper alternative to blue buffalo?
California Naturals would be less expensive. If you have a Costco locally and have a membership or know someone with a membership, their Kirkland brand dog food would also be affordable and a fairly good choice, or they have just started to sell a salmon and sweet potato grain-free food at Costco as well called Nature's Domain that would be a very good choice for an allergic dog.
Would you risk your life to save your pet?
Yes.And i suppose every pet owner here would die for their pet if the situation calls for it.During sleepless nights, i make up all sorts of scenarios in my head and try to figure a way out. This includes lots of 'would you rather questions'. Of course most of the time i'm stuck in dilemma.Some of my early hypothetical situations included 'being forced to choose between certain individuals of the family', who'd live and who'd die. Most of the time, i thought i'd let myself die in their place. But then i thought of situations where, i don't have the option of self sacrifice, what would i do then. Well, i stop imagining there. (Thank goodness it was all in my head)Well, pets are part of the family and you'll grow towards them. They seem like creatures with so much thoughts in their head but no way to express, but with the limited communication skills granted by their body (body language).Of course i would die for my pets :D
