Ch1 Some Questions: I get defensive when asked to change my method of learning. I like being able to figure things out for myself which has worked for me thus far with no studying required. I don't tend to throw out things that serve me well. Would you throw out a car that still runs? Some people might dispose of it depending on the aesthetic condition. I also tend to blow off political correctness in favor of freedom of speech. I am open minded for the majority of what you might want to hold a conversation about. For example, I regularly talk to people about war (in general and current events) and occasionally about abortion. Test me on this if you wish. Hearing the other side: I find it especially hard to take seriously people that share PETA's mentality. While I agree that animal abuse is wrong, people that share PETA's view take it to an extreme. Conditions at zoos and circuses can apparently be somewhat bad as can animal conditions at laboratories. PETA advocates not using anything that caused an animal pain in any part of the product's development. agument: They don't admit that the grain and vegetables they're eating still cause animals to die when harvested. Oh, and meat IS murder, sweet delicious murder.
