Facebook, YouTube, Stealing MP3s, and being Vegetarian
In addition to MySpace, I have a Facebook. I used to hate stuff like that, but I'm finding I'm liking Facebook more and more. Very strange. LiveJournal, of course, still tops my list.
Speaking of websites, YouTube is addictive. The funniest thing I ever saw on there is two Chinese guys acting out the Backstreet Boys. I was in so much pain I was laughing so hard. Look it up! Just type in "Chinese Backstreet Boys".
Now... I'm starting to feel guilty in downloading media. What's odd is that I only feel guilty for music in particular. I think it might have to do with the fact that most video media is already featured on TV, so I'm just receiving it differently (through the Internet) instead of taping it off the tube. Is that a weird justification?
I think it's like the theory where I would never steal a cd from a store, but yet it seems harmless by just the click of a mouse, downloading it onto the computer.
It's also like how easy it is to eat meat because we're not the ones killing the animals. We didn't snap off the chicken's head. Instead, we just dump a package onto a skillet and cook.
