Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Woke up this morning to the news that the Japanese are off to sea to start hunting Hump Back whales again after a ban of around 20? years.
They'll be doing this under the guise of 'research'. They are also requested to catch 900 yes that's nine hundred Minke whales - (for research porpoises). (And yes I do know how to spell purpose)
This makes me so angry I could spit. How dare they go out and torture and kill these magnificent animals. Why isnt the world standing up and protesting to the full extent of protest? May I suggest you DONT buy anything Japanese , you dont travel there you have nothing to do with them in fact until they get their shit together and stop this atrocity.
Why is it we the human race- think it is AOK to go out and wholesale torture and slaughter other animals, destroy vast tracts of forest and breed like maggots without thought of the consequences?
Well, Ill tell you one reason religion. Religion says man is at the top of the chain and can do what he likes and when he doesnt like what he has done, he can ignore it because then, apparently, it is in Gods hands.
Heres the thing, there is no God, so its up to us to put a stop to the violence towards our own kind as well as other animals, its up to us to curb our breeding, its up to us to preserve and plant more forests.
Just an opinion as this is a discussion board is it not? And yes I am feeling fecking depressed today, and angry at what we are doing to this once beautiful planet and the innocent ones within it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Whaling is profitable and greed knows no bounds.
This is just one of the reasons - and it's a biggy that this planet has got to the point it is now. And it just makes me so SOOOO angry.
We HAVE to do something about these things and sitting back praying things will get better is not going to cut the mustard I'm afraid.
Didn't really write this as an attack on religion as such - just to make you think about it.
I used to be an advocate for animal rights. I still am at heart, but there are other things that are more of a priority for me. That has nothing to do with religion.
I hope you continue to work on the issue.
I never really pay this kind of stuff that much attention. Not because I'm religious because I'm not I'm spiritual. I just have so much going on in my own life that it's hard to add other things to the agenda....
however you and i agree hole heartedly about this, in no what should you bring religion into this...its just your way of trying to start another war, and i will not commet again....its too bad that someone as intelligent as you would do this, your post was great up until that point, its sad that you couldnt stop there....
you must be bored today and this is your way of having some fun....hope this made you smile....
