“Attention YouTube Viewers: Don't bother criticizing my singing if you don't sing at all or really suck horribly at singing. Thanks!”

your singing sucks! (I haven't heard it yet - just don't respond to people telling what I should or shouldn't do) :) - Jeff Quinton

Why can't he tell you what you should or shouldn't do if it has something to do with him. If I slap the hell out of you wouldn't you tell me not to do that to you? - Corvida via twhirl

no, I'd just slap you back so hard that you'd be crying on the ground in a heap - Jeff Quinton

LOL@Corvida - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I wouldn't put it past you Jeff, but the point is when someone does something that involves you and it's not positive, you certainly have the right to tell them not to and will sometimes say so as an automatic reaction. - Corvida via twhirl

Ok....but you need to gives us the link so we can check ourselves how good it is :) And I totally agree - get sick of ppl going 'Pfftt - that sucks' at things when they haven't tried to do it themselves. So there. - WorldofHiglet

and I certainly have the right to not honor someone's wishes either. Then again, the whole thing wasn't meant to be taken that seriously when I made the response. - Jeff Quinton

I don't expect everyone to think my singing is great. Hell, I watch my own videos and know I could have done better, but it's a freakin videos on YouTube. It's not in a studio, there were no do-overs, or punch-ins. Constructive criticism is cool, but the other comments are just pointless. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

You can criticize me all you want at: http://youtube.com/microrahshe... and more recently at http://www.viddler.com/explore... - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Only posted one video on youtube and the comments over there are so childish I'd doubt I'd enable them if I were posting lots of stuff. - Jeff Quinton

I usually don't pay attention...I just felt like venting...LOL - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Completely agree. I know this sounds crazy but i have some friends that still use the phone to make calls and prefer it. They don't type well or aren't around a computer much so don't like email, IM, ... or just don't have a good phone for texting. - ·[•_•]·

There are definitely those few that you'll always deal with on the phone, but for the rest. Come on....it's almost 2009. Get with it or don't bother me with your idle chit-chat :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I prefer friends to call since I sometimes miss text messages. - Rodfather

Inflection and tone are reflected poorly, if at all, in text. I could be sarcastic, snide, jovial, tired, or any number of things right now and you wouldn't know it. Hearing someone talk also provides a number of other cues: sighing, tripping up on words, pauses, etc. are important communicative tools that are completely omitted in written works. - Mark Trapp

I like using the phone: laughter to the point of tears is no fun over text. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

++SB :D - Anna Haro

Totally agreed. For me, the phone is almost emergency use only. If you call me, you better be dying, need me to bail you out of jail, or something. I usually respond to voicemails by texting or e-mailing, which often works to let the other person know that I prefer those ways of communicating. - Jandy Stone

If I am actually aiming to have a full-on convo, definitely the phone wins, but don't call me when I'm working or something and ask me stuff like "So, what you doin?" - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Rahseen, rather than look at it as they think so little of you as to waste your time with every minor thing, you could look at it as they thought talking to you was important enough to call. A phone call is a sign of respect, not denigration. - Mark Trapp

If someone calls me, I assume it's either my husband letting me know he'ls on his way home, or something's wrong. Everything else should be via email/IM/DM. - Evangeline

If my phone rings, it's either: my mom, my doctor, or the wrong number. I like it that way. Everyone else uses email/text/etc. - Rochelle

@Mark, for conversations that require that, i just prefer face-to-face. Voice just isn't enough to impart other subtitles. Additionally, it's just become a physical burden to use the phone for any significant conversations though that's mostly resolved with hands-free. If it can be said with text, i say, say it with text. - ·[•_•]·

I don't see it as a sign of disrespect or anything, but as I stated in the post, it's quite detrimental to my productivity if I have people calling me for small talk while I'm working. I have ADD as it is, I don't need any assistance getting off task. For most people, I'll definitely engage in real convo when I'm not busy. :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Robot Guy: A physical burden? People seemed to be able to handle the heavy physical burden of the phone, even before hands-free and cell phones, for a century. - Mark Trapp

seems we're all in the same boat, but i'll add bill collector to the mix. - faboo mama

Rahsheen, sure, turning the cell phone off while working is prudent. But I'm not sure how Rejaw/Twitter/Facebook/Texting/etc. are any less of a distraction. - Mark Trapp

I can handle a text message in a separate process from what I'm doing right now. Respond at my leisure. I can't pay attention to someone talk and work at the same time. It's a complete and total disruption. Just like someone coming into your office or cubicle and sparking up convo. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Plus, it takes people FOREVER to get to the point. (on the phone) Don't bore me with details, what's the bottomline? - Mona N.

Rahsheen, I get that, I'm the same way. If I'm working, you're going straight to voicemail. I guess what I'm thinking of is people responding to voicemail with emails or texts or DMs, which isn't necessarily you, but several people here said they do, so maybe they can explain the savings in productivity for doing so: if you're taking the time to respond to the voicemail, why not return in kind? - Mark Trapp

EXactly. You can't really compress a phone convo into a few words. It's not even natural to do so. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I've always hated holding a phone to my head for long periods. Now that there are so many better alternatives, it's a burden now. - ·[•_•]·

@Mark, for me it's more that I simply don't like using the phone. Never have. I will drive miles out of my way to see people in person rather than call them on the phone. I don't mind someone calling me if there's something specific we need to discuss, but chatting on the phone is not something I'm interested in, so I try to discourage it in any way possible. Chatting in person or via e-mail/IM/text is fine. - Jandy Stone

uggh, hate talking on the phone. not much of a small talker in general have a coworker who regularly invites herself into my office, navigates "keep out" obstacle course and has seat. She once chided me for not paying attention to her. Bitch, they pay me to work, not babysit your needy ass. - Kaia ♥

LOL, Kaia. I have the visitors too. Anyway, I prefer email/text/IM as well. I just don't know how to do the whole phone chats anymore, I guess. Now.. when i was 12 and 13... that's a whole nother story. :) - Yolanda

“It's fine if you think eating meat is bad, but you becoming a vegetarian isn't going to fix it. It's like buying a hybrid or electric car and then assuming you just made a difference in the environment. Surely there are better strategies to save the planet.”

I don't want to come off as being callous or anything, I just truly believe we can't nickel and dime this stuff. There must be better ways to correct these problems. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I'm not vegetarian to save the world (or animals really). I'm vegetarian because it forces me to make healthier food choices, I like how I feel, and it requires discipline. That said, I have noticed a rising trend in vegetarians. A lot of restaurants around here are becoming more aware and sensitive to it. So if it continues on that track, it may make a small difference. - Paul Reynolds

I ask this question seriously seeking information. I am *not* trying to be sarcastic or judgmental here. I haven't heard that vegetarianism helps the environment and I don't understand how it could. What am I missing? - Gregory Pittman

I don't think there are any better strategies than the ones that involve us as individuals making a simple personal choice right NOW. Anything else is going to be bottlenecked by technology, money, or bureaucracy. Those 3 things are easily manipulated by the corporate and government sectors to serve their own interests. - Paul Reynolds

But how does not eating meat help the environment? That's what I'm trying to understand. I'm not asking about philosophy. We obviously have the right to be vegetarian or not. What about not eating meat helps the environment? - Gregory Pittman

Greg: One example is beef production. Cows are supposed to eat grass. We feed them grain and soybean meal. The amount of grain and soybeans could feed many, many more people than the meat from the cow could. Then think about all of the energy required to "process" and transport that beef to the store. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... - Paul Reynolds

Greg: My second comment wasn't a reply to you, we must've posted at the same time! - Paul Reynolds

Paul, Thanks. That's the information I was looking for. I wasn't able to connect the two issues in my own mind. So thanks for helping. - Gregory Pittman

Hmmm.... tasty beef. Now I am gonna have to grab a steak and eggs thing for breakfast. - Soulhuntre via twhirl

Farming in general (even veggies) would be a big bang for our buck in terms of going to sustainable processes and energy consumption. - Paul Reynolds

My only beef with being a veggie is that my food bills will be sky-high. My diet requires high protein intake. I can get that easily from meat. Not really from veggies. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Lots of protein in soy products and legumes. I'm 6'4" and 215lbs. It's the *vegan* bodybuilders that impress me. - Paul Reynolds

Definitely not saying it's not possible, just not very plausible for me. Plus....meat is freaking tasty :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Vegetarianism is only good for the lifetime of the vegetarian. We need long term solutions that will last beyond our lives. The truth is that no amount of energy will be enough, and whatever we do, we are dumping waste heat into our planet, most of which has so far been stored in resource silos below ground or reflected into space. We'll eventually find that solar and nuclear power has its own drawbacks. - Ernie Oporto

I've only been vegetarian for over a year. If I had a piece of steak right now, I'd be in the bathroom for the next 24 hours! The biggest thing it did for me was keep me away from most fast foods. Now I just gotta tame my sweet tooth. :oD - Paul Reynolds

Being a vegetarian, I take spirulina as my protein supplement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... - Matrixx333

Vegetarianism as a moral choice isn't necessarily about fixing the world's ills. Those who view it as a moral decision choose to be vegetarian because it's inherently right: eating meat is bad, so you don't do it. Let's take another moral choice: murder. Choosing not to kill someone (assuming you had really considered it) doesn't put a dent in murder rates, but that doesn't make it any less bad to do it. - Mark Trapp

To the moral side of this, the way it was structured by the ethicists I knew was a beetle-in-the-box thought experiment. Consider you have a box in your hand, and inside that box is a beetle. Everyone else has a box, but you can't look in them. The only reference you have for those boxes is your own, so it's hard to imagine anything other than a beetle in everyone else's box. In that same respect, there are mental processes that you know because you experience them, but you have to take for granted are in everyone else based on trust or behavior. One of those is things is pain. Knowing what you know about your own pain, you ought to try to minimize that in others if you can. If it's just as easy to avoid contributing to the pain of animals, you ought to. It's not an environmental or pragmatic argument at all. - Mark Trapp

That being said, I also knew an ethicist that believed meat-eating was morally good, as it provided an aesthetic quality not apparent in vegetarianism. Communal bonding over eating a nice, juicy hambuger at a barbeque is not replicable in a real sense by any experience you can have as vegetarian. - Mark Trapp

It will not simply solve like this, as people discuss about the topic and delays constantly but from a personal perspective, being now in our 'area' with that contaminated Maple Leaf meat, you escape dying in the worst of cases. ;p - [ zu ]-eBailey

Asking everyone to become a vegetarian is not a realistic goal. Asking them to cut back on the amount of meat that they eat...is. - Matrixx333

Life feeds on life, and the circle goes around. A gentle death is better than unnecessary agony. And yes, there are healthy limits to how much meat we should be consuming. I enjoy a good steak, but too much will put me in intensive care one day. But eat it I must. - Ernie Oporto
