1. Because, let's face it, if you are one of those Democrats that spews constant rubbish about how being environmentally friendly will cost too much, then you'll realise that you didn't quite think it through... Where do you think we get all the resources from to make money and more technology?
2. Because... Life isn't all about humans. There's a whole planet out there and Joe (common Joe) thinks about his stomach.
3. Sustainability. Being more sustainable, funnily enough, will actually give humans the chance to be able to use a relative amount of resources and not have to worry about them running out. We can do it with energy... We can do it with forests, too.
4. We're causing a lot of extinctions from human activity and industry... In New Zealand, since the 1800's (and conveniently around the time British settlers arrived) about 25-30% of native birds have gone extinct from human activity - Namely cats, possums, rabbits and Mustelids (ferrets, stoats and weasels) being introduced here.
5. Deforestation. Forests, like the Amazon and Indonesian rainforests, are being demolished at a ridiculous rate. Pretty soon there won't be much of those forests left. Where will we get wood for building from then?
6. Land degradation. If we are unwise about how we go about agriculture, eventually we will run out of land to use for it. I did some research on this at university and around 50% of all agricultural land is degraded - Bad enough that it can;t be used again.
7. Global Warming. It's not a myth. Granted, it's not majorly serious at this point, but potentially it could cause some major problems.
8. Climate change. Another major problem and partially linked to global warming. Around the world, weather has been observed to have been indirectly affected from global warming. I believe that La Nina and El Nino are also related.
9. Morals. Morally speaking, how is it fair that we just... want more (as James Rachels once said and I believe that this originally stemmed from Socrates, or Aristotle), but we don't want to take care of the conditions to allow for more, without destroying something in return for it? What is so important about human beings?
10. Technology. It could be so much more useful and sustainable, but instead of spending more money on that, we waste billions each year just on improving the cool shit that we already have. What is so important about TVs, cellphones and computers that they need to be better at least every six months? I mean, are they not already good enough to begin with...?

She's been married for a couple months now, but still can’t get used to calling him her husband.
“I forget to call him ‘my husband’ sometimes and still say ‘my boyfriend’. But I’ll get there,” she said.
This can happen to anyone we suppose, it takes a while to get used to the idea of being a wife.

Yesterday, Demi Lovato talked about the nominees for the American Music Awards coming up on the 21st of November.
It will be really exciting, because in the category for Best Female Popstar we have Ke$ha, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry!
In the category for Best Male Artist we have to choose between Justin Bieber, his friend Usher and Eminem. Who will win?
And as far as Artist of the Year, it is between Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Eminem. An interesting mix and tough competition.

5 more incredibly random stuff...I'd like to note that not everything listed is exactly possible, but each is genuinely unique and random in it's own way....
5) wear a nametag that reads "hello. My name is Jesus Christ" (or famous person) when some one says "you're not Jesus" turn around and say "Jesus? Where?"
4) befriend a zombie (don't try unless you're okay with being bitten)
3) give out autographs to complete strangers and pretend you're famous
2) divide by zero (it's a little harder than it looks)
1) walk up behind someone and whisper in their ear "I like mudkips...."
Lots of laughs...I recommend 3, 2 and 1

Ever met that one person who really really aggervates you , like constantly talking or doing everything you do , well im gonna help you deal with them without punching them in the face (kris style <3)
1) always carry a stress ball , those things do work , and if not , you can always throw it at him/her
2) Carry a pillow in you purse/bag , so if you need to scream , scream in the pillow , this pervents people from thinking your crazy
3) Earphones , you COULD use them to block that person out , but studies show that if that person happens to swallow one of the earphones , they wont talk anymore ,
4)Just a hint ; throwing chairs never helps ,
5)Try to be their friend , mabey that'll work
6) if its your sibbling ,
Girl:flush her fav barbie doll
Boy:Flush his favorate comic book
mixed gender: Flush their face (:
Again; Kris style <3
any ideas on any other topis to make kris style , please tell me (: <3

I am sorry. I hate it when i have to do this, because i know that it's really silly! But the only reason why i wouldn't fan anyone back, would be if they had joined the twilight saga club. I can see it on their profile and i immediately go all prejudice against them.
I shouldn't, i know, but it's against my morals to fan someone who loves the Twilight saga. If you're only a fan of Twilight, sometimes i forgive you... if you've done something to earn my respect.
Which would lead me onto my next reason...
If you have done nothing to earn my friendship, and not joined any of my favourite/major clubs, then i don't feel obliged to fan you.
However, if i can see that you're a fan of 'Random' or 'Harry Potter' or 'HP v T' etc, then the probability is that i will fan you back.
On the other hand, if you are looking at this thinking that you haven't done any of these things, then feel free to fan me... i'll gladly return the favour! :)
