Help Change the World!

[fuzzy]

         

  Are you changing the world?

What are you doing to help the environment?
What are you doing to help the animals?
What are you doing to help other people?

Pick a topic or two, or choose to do all three!  The more we help, the better the world!

[SushieBoy]

well, nothing, I guess.

[Lizard Dude]

I always use air dryers in public restrooms instead of paper towels.

[superstarMASIAH]

I recycle, and I do not litter.

[TEM]

I change the world everyday, usually by doing the opposite of all actions the other questions pose. We all do.

[SushieBoy]

oh yeah, today, I didn't take a shower, and I probably won't tommorow.

[The Blue Toad]

Way to go SushieBoy!

But, alas, I ask this very same question every day, myself...well, not really - but I have since this topic has been made.  I'm helping the world by being nice to people for once, and showing old people that there is still some faith in the youth of today!  : D

These things are all a start, but we can all do more.

Mission: I don't mean to sound bossy, but I would all like everybody to boycott Kentucky Fried Chicken.  The way the company treats its chickens is highly inhumane.  Chickens get their beaks chopped of without any painkillers, are overfed to the point where they can't walk or their legs break under the pressure.  Unable to walk, the chickens cannot eat or drink and they starve to death.  Chickens are also stuffed into pens without hardly any room at all.  This frusturates the chickens greatly, and the pens are never cleaned so the ammonia that builds up burns the chickens' throats.  When the chickens are being loaded up in crates to be taken to the slauterhouse, they are violently shoved inside.  This often caused bone breakings and serious injuries.  Perhaps the worst part is next.  When the chickens get to the staughterhouse they are hung up by their legs which are often broken, and are put through a stun bath.  But to save money, KFC has turned the intensity of the bath down.  By doing so the chickens often just get shocked badly before being stunned which hardly even works most of the time.  After the chickens are "stunned" they get their thoats slit while still fully awake.  Some do not even die then, and are next put in scalding hot water to remove their feathers.  Only then do most of the chickens that are still alive, die. 
KFC has been asked many times to change some of their ways, but they refuse. 

This is why I want you to please boycott KFC-a company that is just way to cruel to their chickens.  You can find out more by going to kentuckyfriedcruelty.com or by asking me a question.

I hate KFC and all other fast food restaurants in the first place, so this won't be hard for me!
But, even though they're just chickens, that sounds really gruesome!  Fast food is nothing but a danger to society.  It's what makes America the country with the highest percentage of overweight people.
(And by the way, where exactly are you recieving this information)?

[G-Dawg]

Please don't bring that up again. :P

[Mr. Wiggles]

Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Pamela Anderson, is that you?

[bobman37]

Isn't it "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" now?

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Fuzzy: I'm glad that you want and others want to make a difference in the world.  That's wonderful and the best way to live your life.

Personally, I really hate when animals get treated like that and wish that people would find a more humane way to kill them.  I don't want to offend anyone by saying that but I believe that God gave animals to people for food, but I also think that people should be responsible with the condition of the environment, the number of animals that are hunted, and the way they are treated (for the sake of not offending people or just becomming desinsitized to some violence).

I want to make the world a better place by helping as many people as I can in as many ways as I can, and trying to help them have better lives.  One thing I want to do is to donate money to charities and organizations that help poor and hungry people.  IMO people are much more important to help than animals and the environment, but I think those things are still important to take care of.

SushieBoy: Great!  You're saving water and saving money.  I think I might cut back on using water as much too.  Maybe I'll just take one shower a week, wash my clothes in rain water, and cook my food in rain water.

[BP]

Well, let's see. When I get old and have my own house, do I save the water or the trees? Because I could save the water by not getting a dishwasher and simply using paper plates and such. Or I could save the trees by not using paper plates. Water or trees? I say save the water, because without it the trees can't grow anyway.
I could clone myself to make the world a better place.

Ummm... who cares? Chickens reproduce quickly, so we can't really kill all of them. Or am I thinking of mice...? Plus, we should kill chickens to try to stop the spread of Avian Flu. And who cares if we use cars, use paper towels, use lots of water each day and eat meat? This thread is basically saying that if you eat at KFC, you are a miniature version of Satan. Lock please.

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

No, I think they're mostly just concerned about the way the chickens are treated before they die, like I am (partially because I hate watching things suffer).

[fuzzy]

I care when living things suffer before death.  I also care if the world keeps warming up and the heat increases to a point that the worlds ice will melt and the coastlines flood.  I don't want to live in a world where there is severe weather, abused animals, or helpless people.  I just want everything to work out for everything and everybody.  You should care about the way the environment, animals, and other people are treated.  It you don't then I would have to say that you don't really care about anything are anyone but yourself.

[nensondubois]

I have many ideas but I'm not sure where to start. There are many things I would change.

[NintendoExpert89]

While it's probably not much, I always turn things off when I no longer need them.

That and I try to use things down until they're completely unusable before I go replace them. For example, even when my games tell me my Wii Remote batteries are running down, I don't bother to replace them until I actually get "Interrupted Connection" messages, which is usually several hours or days later.

[Turtlekid1]

Let me make two things perfectly clear:

1. I dislike radical environmentalists/people who think the climate crisis isn't something created by misinformed/lying scientists.
2. I think treating the environment is important.  We've got one planet to live on (until we develop warp drive, that is).

[Shyguy92]

OK who bumped this?

[ShadowBrain]

nensondubois, who proceeded to say nothing at all about an old topic by a banned member.

[MaxVance]

Someone (probably Deezer) moved it here to spark discussion for this new board. In this case it doesn't count quite so much as a bump.

[nensondubois]

nensondubois, who proceeded to say nothing at all about an old topic by a banned member.

I thought it was a new topic because the "not at the dinner table" sub-forum is new so I replied to it. ok, I really do need to brake the habit of assuming.

[Chupperson Weird]

It's kinda easy to read the post dates.

[PaperLuigi]

OK who bumped this?

Yeah, that's my question. This topic is 2 freakin' years old.

[ShadowBrain]

Not to keep going on about the whole thing, but I'd barely mind the bump if he'd said something pertinent. Then again, even if he had, fuzzy is long gone.
