Chicken Explains It All, Just do it! Options

If I weren't Catholic can you guess what I would want to be?

[Chicken]

Ummm...a Buddhist? An assassin? A moose? A rebel? An arsonist? I don't know. :p

[Headtrip]

Arsonist sounds tempting but I meant religion-wise. And "moose"?

[Chicken]

I don't know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Anyway, do you want to be a Protestant? A Buddhist? A Hindu? A Jew? What would you be?

[Headtrip]

The last one. If the Catholic church went evangelical I'd rather be Jewish than anything else. I'm taking a course on world religions right now and I chose Judaism as the topic of my CPT.
Have you seen Dances with Wolves? I had to see it as part of my Native Spirituality segment.

[Chicken]

Awesome class. And, actually I would be a Jew,too. I find them very interesting.

Nope, haven't seen it, but I know a good bit about Native Americans in general.

How many watermelons does it take to devour a duck? It does not matter if the watermelons are cubes or if the duck has been buttered.

I'm dating a Jew. She's not really Jewish but I'll let her think she is.

Why did my function behave asymptotically? The assignment asked to find the zeros, but it only reaches zero as it approaches infinity? I was very frustrated...

@Saf: Watermelons devour ducks by a process called photoduckisis, as I'm sure you know. This requires at least 7 watermelons, because they have to sit in a circle around a salt covered duck and chant while converting the water fowl and pulverized halite into glucose. After said "duckose" forms, the watermelons drink the left over duck blood followed by the product of their ritual.

@GS:She thinks she's Jewish?

...And maybe you're thinking about it too hard thus overlooking something?

[Saffy]

You're oh so close, Chicken, but there was nothing said about salt. Am I perhaps misinformed of further details?

[Chicken]

Uh, have you ever heard of salted BUTTER?

...And maybe you're thinking about it too hard thus overlooking something?

Her dad apparently frequented a Latter Day Saints church for a few years. She wore a small Star of David on a chain for a while, but I haven't seen it lately. I think part of her ancestry may be Jewish, but I don't think she knows much about the actual religion. I don't really want to talk about religion with her, so it doesn't faze me...

Is China really as scary as it's hinted to be?

[Chicken]

Oh, that's a "Judeo-Christian" thing. A lot of ladies at my church wear one, because of the Biblical connection to Israel.

Um, I doubt it. I don't think the government could track the world's largest (forgive me if I'm wrong) concentrated population individual by individual even if they wanted to. Not to mention, I know some FOB Chinese, and I've inquired about the government's policies. They're not as bad as they're made out to be, just like how we're (the Western world) not that bad as followers of Islam seem to think we are. And then there's that Red Scare crap that the older politicians of our countries were probably part of in some way.

Can Chickens get swine flu? DD:

[Chicken]

No. Chicken's do not associate with SWINE.

[Saffy]

Oh my gosh! There is a novel based on the Where The Wild Things Are movie? And it has a lot of backstory on Max? Oh my, oh my, oh my. Why have I not bought this? DD:

As my dad teaches English as a foreign language (he's very experienced, is writing books on the subject and stuff), he gets a lot of Chinese students. Apparently, almost all the Chinese he's met claimed that everything about Tibet and the human rights abuses are a fabrication of the west to defame their country.
It's not all that ridiculous an idea when you look at what the U.S. are doing to Cuba, but if this was true I doubt the Chinese government would go so easy on the rest of the world for spreading these "lies".
Would you like to live in China, for a while at least? I've always been interested in that country, since unlike virtually any other powerful developed country the government has the power to do some real good, as they aren't controlled by lobbyists and corporations. I know the human rights abuses are terrible, but to be honest if I was living there I wouldn't want to be fighting for democracy in the first place, I'd be working as hard as I could to make their system of communism work better.

[Chicken]

@Saf: Wow! I didn't know there was a novel on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Go get it! NOW!

@Foofoo: I love the Chinese language, so I wouldn't mind going abroad not necessarily just China, but a Chinese speaking area. I'm fine with the idea of capitalism, myself, however I have read about communism and does sound wonderful in theory. If it could be improved upon and people weren't living in poverty and were actually equal, I guess it would be fine. However, I like capitalism, because as it is being improved upon even people lower on the "economic food-chain" are able to make a name for themselves in the world. The one main thing I disagree with (not trying to generalize here) is not the Economic function of the communist government, but rather my main focus on is that people should be allowed to think freely. The government needs to stay out of personal affairs. ...And ew. I sound like a Republican.

[Saffy]

I plan to buy it very soon :D I need to finish my current novel first, and then find my way to the bookstore.

Plastic wrap. Never open the plastic wrap.
