collapse assignment #2

I, honestly, don't happen to know very much about what we've been learning this week about peak oil. I may know a little but not too much. I do happen to have some interesting questions, at least thats what I think of them. For one, I wonder why it's considered peak oil, what if oil is just on a temporary decline? We go about calling the oil, or any other thing at its peak but we are never positive when anything comes to an absolute end. I wonder too, if there will ever be any kind of way for us to make oil in some way, in case we do run out. With no current plan in place, you can't help but wonder...what if?

Oil accounts for 43% of the world's total fuel consumption. On one of the sources that Andy provided us with, it says that oil will never just completely run out. Oil follows this pattern, a pattern similar to humans, if you dare to compare. Humans all follow the same exact pattern, little babies turn into these little crawling toddlers which turn into what can be annoying little things at times. Then, we grow, start maturing,some more than others, and some not at all. We find someone to do sex with, make babies and the process just begins all over again. Then there's oil, that follows a pattern that suggest that oil will be the same in 2030 as it was in 1980.

But I, still am not settled with the "opinion" of there being just one peak, what if we follow this curve and suggest that there's another peak, that based on when exactly it began, will translate to maybe the next century having another peak of oil, or something even better that will save the planet in all ways. Production in oil is supposed to be dropping by approximately 3% a year. But this is based on the pattern that it history has showed, what if one little thing can alter the course of our future. Like for example, with us using less barrels of oil one year than the next can alter the way oil is produced.

I found it rather interesting that the island that Jared Diamond portrays to is really kind of isolated. These people don't have the technologies that we do, and have some really ancient sculptures. The way that jared diamond explains in detail the setting of this island, shows how the different societies and their setting are set apart from the rest of the world. When I think about this island I wonder why no one has settled there or anything, like every other country gets settled, why hasnt this one. Why is this one so much more different than all the others?

final food assignment

Watching the video by Dana White I actually found it quite funny. The story behind the whole video is telling us how shit can be when cows or anyone for that matter, gets trapped into a place where they don't know yet what's going to happen until it actually does. For the last couple of weeks in class we have been watching steps 0-100 on the torturing and murdering of animals, which produce our food. We've seen many things from people throwing out little chicks because they weren't yellow enough and then there were cows who didn't deserve the pleasure of ejaculating into anything but a human hand because they didn't have enough black spots. These animals were all mistreated and mistreated close enough to the fullest extent.

We've also seen the mistreat of flowers and trees, we have seen sunflower seeds get pestisides poured over them becasue the soil will be better for these farmers after they are killed. Why not at least take these flowers out and sell them and make profit? I don't understand why everything has to be more about money in the short term for everyone thean money in the long term, maybe things would fall into different places. Maybe, just maybe.

There were pigs who were put all together then forced into a little place where they injected something into them, I have no clue what it was but it was something, then they force them onto these little ropes which I don't like seeing those pigs on, they are crying their hearts out, pigs are really fat, imagine all that fat they carry being weighed out on one leg and the pig hanging on it for a long time. They then pass them through some sort of heated room where I guess they kill them I can't really recall the exact what of their choosing of killing method, they then pass them through a machine that cuts them directly down the middle of their torso and has their intestines just hanging out ready to all fall out. That's when the pigs are being led to their next destination, where a human being will physically take everything out and go about their daily life as if nothing had happened that same day at work. They take everything out, spray sometype of thing in the pig and pass the intestines down, which I guess is something other people eat.


I wonder, if more people knew about the things that go down in those factories would they eat it more? Eat it less? Think about the cruelty when they eat it? I personally would pribably think about it but contiune to eat it, like I don't care about it unless its like something that's going to get me sick. If it satisfies me and my taste buds, and of course fills me up, I don't mind where its from.

Food # 8 Industrial Food

I think its bullshit how these so called farmers torture these animals. What happened to the image the corporate media gives us on these farmers, they come nowhere close to what they are supposed to be. i find it crazy how we can safely assume how our food is being made. You always seem to assume the more kindergarden savy storyline but when in reality its far from kindergarden. It's worst than what the Nazi's did in a sense, if u were to compare the two. They Nazi's hated Jews and therefor tortured them to get a ridiculous happy feeling. Isn't that what these so called farmers are doing? They torture these poor animals, get what they want and slain them, and they do it in the most cruel way.

Hanging poor pigs on their legs with all that weight that they carry and hear the screeches they leave and just cut them completely open. These people tease animals, making them think they are going to be "doing sex" and then neglecting them of their closes source of pleasure. You have people working in these huge factories than can actually go ab out their day chewing bubble gum and hand picking intestines, chopping off feet and single handedly killing thousands of animals, because they all play a role in the murdering of the animals, yes I said murdering, because thats what they are doing? What else would you call something like that? Imagine the human race being tortured like that, oh boy!
