A bit more on animal cruelty

When someone is convicted of animal cruelty charges and the judge bans them from owning animals how exactly is this enforced? Seriously i would love to know and if anyone can tell me I would be real interested (as would a lot of other people I bet)

Unless they have someone following them around constantly telling everyone they meet that they are banned or have it tattooed on their forehead what is to stop these sickos acquiring an animal out of say the classifieds and wanted ads in the local newspaper?

A ban is only effective if it can be enforced. Unfortunately because all of these people cannot be watched 24/7/365 how can it be enforced.

I would love a society where there is no animal cruelty. But, as horrible as it sounds, as long as there are animals there will be people who are cruel to them.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

Have you ever been asked that question? Whether it be at school or a job interview that is the one question that I really hate. Of course I hate all questions about myself but that one is just so annoying. I don't know what it is about the question, perhaps its because I feel that the person who asks the question expects me to give some deep meaningful answer and describe some idealistic perfect life that I will be no doubt living then.

The truth is I expect to see myself exactly where I am now.

People may see that as me being lazy or having no goals in life, but really its just I don't care. No I don't mean I have no feelings, of course I do...I do actually care. What I mean is that I refuse to do what society expects of me.

Example I was expected to go to school, then college, get a job, get married, raise some kids, retire and then die.

I went to school..I did college...then thought sod it. Do I really want to spend the best part of my adult life doing thigs for other people, following other peoples rules and regulations (work related not law of course), or would I rather live a life that I could look back when I am older and say at least I enjoyed myself. Cuz lets face it you only have this one life so why waste it doing what society wants.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea I don't mean be an anarchist and break the law doing god knows what, just ask yourself are you doing the job you are doing or studying the subject you are studying because you like it, or because it is expected of you. If it is the first then congratulations on achieving al lest one of your life's goals. If, however it is the latter. Why not just say enough is enough and I'm bored then quit?!

Today

Today i did nothing of interest whatsoever. I suppose not all days can be full of excitment can they. Oh well. But then it depends on what you mean by exciting.
