This is gross! I'm not really a "vegan" but I don't eat any meat, eggs or dairy. After seeing some real factory farms in person I realized how cruel most of the meat and dairy industry is.
Hey, I got rid of my TV. I have better things to do. Like wasting time on the computer. LOL No really, I think TV rots brain cells. Neatorama is all the news I need. :) http://www.trashyourtv.com/
I really don't know what to think about this. I'd have to do some more research. I didn't think children understood the specific details of gender until they were older. Like a 2 year old doesn't even know there's much of a difference. At lest mine didn't. My 5 yr old son doesn't know what a girl has or doesn't have down there yet. My son likes to dress up and once he asked me why he can't wear a dress and so I told him they were for girls. He'd much rather be Batman anyway. But kids have a natural curiosity and if the parents start telling people(in front of the child) that they've said certain strange things then the children will be very likely to repeat the behavior and make a deal out of it. Like if my son hears me tell someone something he did that day he'll start doing it again right then to put on a show. And I let my boys play with dolls. They usually prefer dinosaurs and robots but sometimes baby dolls and I think that's okay. If I made a big deal and told everyone about it I think they'd play with them more and possibly even express the want to wear dresses if I brought up that topic more. Like I said I don't know for sure but something seems fishy about this story. I think this child had knowledge beyond her/his years and that had to come from somewhere.
Man, I just got over my last papercraft addiction and here are some more to do. I have several shelves of those little paper robots and stuff like you had in some past posts. I love making these but just don't have all the time needed to do it. It's cool though that all you need is an internet connection, a printer with cardstock paper, some sissors and glue to make these toys. Well, maybe I'll just make one more. :)
candiru, ha ha. :)
