i'm now lazy to do any embedded videos or links or soundtracks. i'll just be posting the link, you can copy and paste to open
let's practise freedom of press. be it any news or emails or whatever let's start from below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDsc1veBnt8 it's about 內湖慈濟開發案 just watch the whole video and you will gain a lot of insight how freedom of speech is practise in 慈濟 so you can infer how they actually work this is another follow-up - 0071112 記協抬槓(七)─證嚴法師不能再錯過的座談會報導: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j534CaD7KvA
more on 開發案: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU1vBmL7gB4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tnZ22maSgA
i did not watch all the video but these were enough something to note is 十三億 is 1300 million NT which is around 65 million SGD that's fucking rich, and that's only the cost of buying the land, not including the cost to be to built the facilities on it and also, please read through the comments as well, they will also give a lot of insight.
and on the timeline, this is not recent news, this has dated back at least 13 years ago and there had been reporting and controversy throughout the years
there are times where people don't bear to do this do that. they just cannot bear to do so once they decided to let go, they will truly let go. anything that happen after, the time frame will only start from then, what ever happen will not be remembered
do not be sad, i be sad will be enough. there's no need for two people to go through tough tides. just once people will do. since he came into this world alone, he will face the world alone, be it birth, age sick or death, it will always be a solo feat.
when you are not his/her number one priority, everything is over. the lyrics are my thoughts. i don't hope for anyone to remember me, my face, my name or whatever i did. i just hope that if someone is very important, make sure he/she is top on your list. if you choose to listen to other people instead of him/her, the relation is over.
Lyrics(English Version) Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance Forever and the day
We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young And sure to have our way
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions along the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance Forever and the day
We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance Forever and the day
We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face I heard you call my name Oh my friends we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are all the same
Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance Forever and the day
We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
Then i found the chinese version: but they do not allow embedding of the clips, so here's the link: 往日的時光
Below is what I copied from: Why People Should be Vegetarian Whether or not you can find concrete evidence(good sources/citations) supporting the cases/examples found in the article, I think it's worthwhile to take a look.
Why People Should be Vegetarian
A Studies of human evolution have shown that our ancestors were vegetarian by nature. The structure of the human body is not suited for eating meat. Carnivores have short small and large intestines. Their large intestine is characteristically very straight and smooth. In contrast, vegetarian animals have both a long small intestine and a long large intestine. Because of the low fiber content and high protein density of meat, the intestines do not require a long time to absorb nutrients; thus, the intestines of carnivores are shorter in length than those of vegetarian animals.
Humans, like other naturally vegetarian animals, have both a long small and large intestine. Together, our intestines are approximately twenty-eight feet (eight and a half meters) in length. The small intestine is folded back on itself many times, and its walls are convoluted, not smooth. Because they are longer than those found in carnivores, the meat we eat stays in our intestines for a longer period of time. Consequently, the meat can putrefy and create toxins. These toxins have been implicated as a cause of colon cancer, and they also increase the burden on the liver, which has the function of getting rid of toxins. This can cause cirrhosis and even cancer of the liver.
Meat contains a lot of urokinase protein and urea, which add to the burden on the kidneys, and can destroy kidney function. There are fourteen grams of urokinase protein in every pound of steak. If living cells are put into liquid urokinase protein, their metabolic function will degenerate. Furthermore, meat lacks cellulose or fiber, and lack of fiber can easily create constipation. It is known that constipation can cause rectal cancer or piles.
Research has shown that infant mice fed by a female mouse having breast cancer will also develop cancer. When human cancer cells were injected into animals, the animals also developed cancer. If the meat which we eat daily comes from animals that originally have such disorders, and we take them into our body, there is a good chance we will also get the diseases.
Most people assume that meat is clean and safe, that there are inspections done at all butcheries. There are far too many cattle, pigs, poultry, etc. killed for sale every day for each one to actually be examined. It's very difficult to check whether a piece of meat has cancer in it, let alone check every single animal. Currently, the meat industry just cuts off the head when it has a problem, or cuts off the leg which is diseased. Only the bad parts are removed and the rest is sold.
There is yet another concern. Antibiotics as well as other drugs including steroids and growth hormones are either added to animal feed or injected directly into the animals . It has been reported that people eating these animals will absorb these drugs into their bodies. There is a possibility that antibiotics in meat are diminishing the effectiveness of antibiotics for human use.
There are some people who consider the vegetarian diet not sufficiently nourishing. An American surgical expert, Dr. Miller, practiced medicine for forty years in Formosa. He established a hospital there, where all the meals were vegetarian, for staff members as well as the patients. He said, "The mouse is one kind of animal which can support its life with both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian diet. If two mice are segregated, with one eating flesh and the other vegetarian food, we find that their growth and development are the same, but that the vegetarian mouse lives longer and has greater resistance to disease. Furthermore, when the two mice got sick, the vegetarian mouse recovered quicker."
