G'day

Post by Zed4711 »

Yes thats a bit cliché for an Australian but oh well. I'm an open book, ask me anything from politics, to diet and even personal interests :)
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it you will be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself

Well I live in the geographic centre of Victoria so it's a bit rural, but there is a good Organic whole food store in my town where you can get things like vegan yoghurt, tofurkey, vegan chocolate, vegan nachos and whole vegan hampers. Theres even a burger chain that sells three options of veggie burgers in Melbourne and Bendigo. So it's alright where I live and it'll be even better next year when I move to Melbourne for university

Um I would say I've been an atheist for at least 6-7 years but thats hard to say because although my mother raised me as a Protestant christian, my father is more a Jesuanist in that he says he follows jesus moral teachings but doesn't believe in any of the supernatural stuff. I've been a vegetarian for a 13 months now and it was the best decision of my life. It was so easy to give up meat and I felt like a weight had been lifted afterwards. I also am essentially dairy free as well
