  1. Yup. The schools/colleges start early in India. The summer vacation was from 1st of the previous month to 25th of this month.

     

    AIESEC, that Student-run organisation? I have heard of it quite a few times. xD

     

    Wow, that is definitely a short vacation! I think it was quite similar in Germany as well. I went there for 2 months last year through AIESEC. I was just asking because I met quite a few students from India that are part of AIESEC. They also told me AIESEC was quite popular in India.

  2. As long as a person is healthy, they shouldn't be insulted- but if someone is NOT healthy (ie, fat?) you can insult them all you want. Is that what you're saying?

     

    People don't have an obligation to be healthy- that is also what I am saying. There are lots of people who can't AFFORD to be healthy. When you are barely making enough to feed your family at all, you can't say that you aren't going to eat processed foods, or eliminate foods with HFCS, etc. These foods are the cheapest, and it's better to be fed than to be hungry but eat unprocessed foods.

    I recently went shopping for pasta sauce. I read the labels on every single brand, and only ONE did not have added sugar or HFCS. It cost more than twice as much for a smaller bottle than some of the other ones. I am priviledged enough to be able to afford that, but so many can't. You think it's all right to insult them?

    HFCS is in everything now- the production of it has gone up 1100% in the past 10 years. Unless you have money to buy unprocessed foods, and the time to go looking for foods that don't have HFCS, it's practically impossible to eliminate it from your diet.

     

    And really, when it comes down to it, someone doesn't have to be healthy. It is to their detriment over time, yes, but they have no obligation to be healthy. And you can never tell if someone is healthy or not by looking at them.

    People are fat for so many reasons. Gland problems, not having money, being depressed, or being disabled, etc, etc, etc. Some fat people are incredible fit and active, but people don't believe them.

     

    I really want to explain this properly. Regardless of someone being fit or healthy or not, people never, ever deserve to be insulted for who they are. They don't deserve ugly looks. They don't deserve to have people look at them and think "what a lazy slob", or "if only s/he got off their lazy butt", or "why aren't they eating a salad?", etc. People should be accepted for who they are, always, regardless of their health.

     

    Insult someone for being unhealthy or by the way they look? Definitely not, of course people choose their own lifestyle whether it be the food they eat, religion they practice or what not. I am not going to assume what people's health are based on what they look. But I am not going to condone a person (I care about) to destroy their body with hazardous food, drug, or anything that is not beneficial.

  3. The last time I tried to go for the Illusen avvie, she gave me an unbuyable on Quest 2 >< so I'm avoiding her for the time being. That would make my highest quest... number 2, heh.

     

    Are you sure it was unbuyable? I recall my second quest for Jhdoura was what I thought unbuyable since it was not in shop wizard nor trading post. Then I realized it was a furniture item that can be easily bought in a store.

  4. Interesting, I did not even know this still existed. I think I am going to start doing this now. I heard there is a daily prize after completing this and possibly a trophy? Can anyone verify that? Also, how are the daily prizes like if any.

  5. Of course. What I was trying to say is that you can not judge people by their looks, nor should they even be judging in the first place. As long as a person is healthy that is fine.

  6. I think we live in a very absurd society. People should not be brought down based on their looks, as long as you are perfectly fit and healthy, I would not care how you look. And by fit and healthy I mean, you are not harming your body with excess high fructose corn syrup and such.

  7. Obviously this is a very hot debate even in politics. But I do think abortion is right and should be legalized. Yes you may be killing an unborn baby, but if you are unable to care and nurture for the baby, that is far worse than killing it. Orphanages are full of babies with parents who are unable to care for them, or children with deceased parents. Nonetheless, no one wants the place to be filled up. People make mistakes all the time, and it is impossible to be "perfect", abortion allows people to prevent unwanted children from being born into what be known as an unfair world.

  8. Thanks! :) Much appreciated

  9. That's really cool! I did something like that in HS. We took care, and bred, tilapia. It was a very cool experience.

     

    haha Thanks :) I actually never heard of tilapia. What kind of fish is that? I am currently raising kribensis and L144 pleco in my 55 gallon tank. I also have red cherry shrimps in a 10 gallon by my bedside.

  10. So I was not able to go on neopets much the day before yesterday since I had work majority of my day. Of course I did the dailies such as shrine, tombola, lab ray etc. Yet yesterday morning I happened to have found an aisha transmogrification potion in my inventory. I had not noticed any notifications or anything.

     

    I tried googling this, and it turns out it is some sort of glitch? Did anyone every have an experience with this?

  11. Thanks! It is a bit difficult to time manage everything, and for me it seems as cutting down sleep is the only method to balancing out everything. I will probably wake up in 4 hours to head to the gym to get pumped up for the rest of the day.

     

    Recently zapped my pet, and it just changed genders. I was hoping it would change species or something. Huh.

  12. For her own safety, I would tell an adult to help her out of the drug situation before it is too late. And similar to what everyone had said, it is up to you to decide whether you want to let her in or not.

  13. Diet is not all about the food you eat. Not eating enough nutrition is worse than eating too much, in my personal opinion. I started watching my weight about .. two weeks ago. it is not the weight I am really concerned about but rather the fat. I had been trying to trim by fat by heading to the gym every morning before work. Do a mile run on the treadmill along with some weight lifting. Healthy life-style is the way to go :)

  14. It usually goes the same when I go shopping with my girlfriend. It is quite funny actually, usually she has a good idea of what she intends to get while I am there to accompany her. Yet in the end, I am the one with more shopping goodies than her. I guess it is hard to shop with so many factors.

  15. Aquatic fish. I started doing intense research on fishes after receiving two goldfish from school. But I realized goldfish need large tanks that I can not handle. As of now I have a 55 gallon tank with a pair of fish from an African lake. They had bred multiple times and had their third batch of babies last week. Each batch consists of about 100 babies. hard hobby to maintain, but very worthwhile.

  16. To be honest, it is immature but it takes a mature person to realize it. I used to go to street fights when I was a kid, and personally I have no regrets. Whether one experiences it or not, I think you can definitely develop yourself through it. The more mistakes you face as a person, the better you become as a person. Of course this is a bias standpoint and I can say only a handful of people can see it. If you can good for you, if not, tough luck in life.
