plants are living, true, and if we abide by the idea that “all living things have rights” then plants should have rights. but, do plants really have FEELINGS? do they understand when they are being wronged? do they feel pain the way that animals do?… i don’t think so.

i’m kind of not surprised that it’s switzerland debating plant rights, haha.

very, very well said. it’s stupid to push these girls to act all “parent-approved” when they’re at an age where it’s natural for them to be exploring their sexuality and the like. unfortunately for them, it must play out in public.

i don’t know classical music very well, but from the video i could tell that he was GOOD. still, when i’m in the metro i usually just like to get where i’m going, so i don’t think i would have stopped.

it does seem pretty stupid… they weren’t being disruptive. if they had brought a boom box and refused to leave, then fine, arrest them. the police seem a bit power hungry.
