No, thats how bustard is spelt. Well here anyway.
And 'pardon my french' is another term of 'Sorry for swearing but..'

Some of my photgraphy work.
Just thought i share :)

Image
Sky - Clouds look like a loveheart. (without trademark)


Image
Flowers in a glass plate. (without trademark)


Image
On gravel, Foot with stones ontop. (without trademark)


Image
Jewellery against mirror.
(Done this photo manually. Meaning taking my own pictures, developing negatives and exposing them on photographic paper myself using chemicals and darkroom.
That probably explains why its abit scratched and blurry. Trust me its alot harder doing it manually!
All the ones done manually turn out black and white.)


Image
Scarf - Also done manually using a Fog Filter (explains the foggy effect)


Image
Sunshine on a cloudy day - Also done manually.

Image
Vines Shadow - Manually also.


Im still a beginner so yeah, there not perfect :lol:

Haha, I don't get your signature...meat isn't the only part of animal people eat! Or other animals for that matter. It's simply called the food chain!

It is against the vegetarian who say to not eat animals. If we aren't supposed to eat them, then why are they made out of meat

Yeah, but that doesn't make sense. Who says we're supposed to eat meat? Or eyeballs, or livers, or hearts, or skin? You either choose to eat other animals, or you don't. Just like you choose to eat popcorn or anything else. It's like saying: "If we aren't supposed to eat popcorn, then why is it made out of corn?" Well, what the heck does that mean? Exactly. Pretend someone was telling you not to eat popcorn, hehe. Same idea.

From the Bible:

Acts 10:9-15 says,

9About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."

14"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

15The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."






If you follow that kind of thing.

so what that parables trying to say is if your christian and follow the bibl closely but also veg then maybe you should take a look at your belief system....

or just that god wants us to eat the animals...

or that alot of stuff that was passed down by the hebrews and was eventually written down may have been mis-interpreted and if you follow the bible closely you could be wrong, but then that contradicts itself...

lets just leave it as i like to eat meat, and vegetarians dont because they think its wrong...

we all have our own beleif and no-one should force their belief on anyone else...

According to science, the leap to meat is what allowed us to have larger brain capacity and the intelligence that came with it. Therefore, meat has been essential to human development and I shall use it as an excuse to devour as many pieces of juicy steak as I can.
