May 31st FUNKY FRIDAY

Today was funky friday. oh yeaaa!
We had a discussion on biases and I think it was Take who pointed out that whether the idea was neutral or not, it would still be bias because trying to be neutral would not change the fact that it has a bias stance on being neutral. So I guessed, nothing in this universe was actually neutral but then I thought, hey what about statistics? They're just numbers how can that not be neutral? Then Masamune pointed out to me that choosing which material to take on is bias itself. I agreed with this idea. The only thing different about being bias and trying to be neutral is that the one trying to be neutral is boring whist the biased opinion challenges our minds to agree or disagree.

Next we discussed how the government can make filters to stop corporations from polluting the environment as well as harming the health of the people. Just like Koji said, we need a majority of the people to actually understand the situation and also feel passionate enough to let them make the government take action.
The videos Rab showed us today had that kind of effect I think. The video I found most intriguing by Free Range Studios was the one called 'Backwards Hamburger.' Although I am not a full on vegetarian, I am passionate about the way animals are treated before they are served on our plates...sorry that kind of sounded a bit too realistic.
Anyways, I watched this video by PETA I think it was, a long time ago. The video was called 'Meet Your Meat. ' The video actually shows footage of animals being brutally harmed in barns. This is why I choose not to eat meat at Mcdonalds or Kentucky Fried Chicken. The other meat or dairy products in supermarkets as well probably go through a similar process just like the recent horse meat scandal in the UK but Mcdonalds and KFC are just two of the worst. Times like these, I really respect religion in other countries. I think it was a Muslim culture to pray towards the animals before they kill them. I respect this so much and hope Japan would do the same; if not at least treat the animals with a little bit more respect. This is not just for the animals but for the healths of us, humans as well.

Anyways, I think Japan should start using the power of the internets to send messages as well. We are reallyreally behind in this cyber territory.
