      If you would be desolated in an island with nobody to be with and talk with, and an animal is only there for you, what animal would that be and why?

      There’s nothing more than Buta–our dog.
      He’ll keep you awake! Dogs learn tricks, and save lives.

      tricky question

      😆

      a Homo sapien sapien of course

      where would that island be?

      i guess in Eden

      or in one of the islands in Boracay 😆

      its like an adam and eve scenario 🙄

      Probably a dog, but maybe a horse. I don’t know. I guess if that situation arises I’ll know.

      Choose your dog I think.

      Why? Dogs may be the companion keep you sane type, but they serve no real purpose. Horse is transportation, hauling, things of that nature, and they make great companions and when you develop a relationship with a horse they actually have been known to protect someone like a dog does.

      I’d go with the horse. That’s what I’d do.

      Dogs could help with manual labor (Think Husky!) and plus maybe they could hunt small animals for you! And be nice company 🙂

      Ohh, anyone seen "Never Ending Story?" what kind of animal was in there?

      it was a dog dragon thing, I used to have nightmares about it.

      The Dark Crystal was way creepier than the Luck Dragon! I would want the luck dragon on my island with me. It talks to you, and can fly.

      Alex, what if you got stuck with a human you couldn’t stand? There are some people that I could get stuck with that would end up with only 1 living human on the island.
      Plus, that is cheating.

    • #79848
      alextemplet
      Participant

      No it’s not cheating. The question was what animal; humans are definitely classified under the animal kingdom, are we not? Also, if I couldn’t stand him/her, he/she would become my lunch. I’ve either got someone to help me find food or someone to turn into food. It’s a win/win situation.

      Calm down Draco, I have nothing against alex. It’s just a speculation that It’s absolutely weary if one night you’ll be hit on the head, and I’m not pointing that alex is already bad for saying that.

      Well I’m thinking that I would be brave enough to be with alex on that island I guess.

      Speaking of shower things, it’s common in our place to do it twice.

      twice a day, one in the morning and one at night.

      I’ve done that before, although lately I’ve been sticking to one shower per day. But now that I have my own place (*humongous grin*) with no one else to waste hot water, I might start showering twice a day again.

    • #80535

      I have 3 brothers and my parents to think of when I take a shower, so I take two really hot ones a day and laugh when the water turns cold on them.

      When I used to go to school once, I’m awake by quarter to 4 in the morning. The water was so cold, and I shouted when I splashed the water over my body. If the water is cold, they say it’s better to wet your lower extremities first, going up. Just as when babies are bathed.

      I remembered that our department had previously planned an activity last year, "Animal Marathon" wear your self-made animal mascott and parade within the urbanized city. I think that’s good way to promote peace in our city I guess. Swimming would be nice but the city’s nearest river, Pasig River isn’t a good place for swimming. Swim there and you’ll find yourself 6 feet underground–really that it is already contaminated. Real brain damage too!

      It depends on what is important to a person, standing for a cause of the chance of getting sick. People have been doing it for a long time, so the people who do it just weigh what they find important, and make a decision. I think people are more willing to come watch and give money if people do crazy things, instead of just "hey… come give us some money for the kids!"

    • #81053
      Jones
      Participant

      It’s not just about getting sick! It’s about putting yourself in a dangerous situation that’s more bad than the good that could come out of it! AND they’re not just kids you know, people who are mentally challanged can still be the same age as you even if they don’t have the same level of thinking.
      You’re right, people may pay more to see crazy shit but there’s a million other things people could do than jumping into a freezing cold lake.

      Exactly. There is a person here in our country known as the "running priest". He runs for a cause, when the government is being opposed; but better if he’ll do his real advocacy instead of going along with a group’s strike.

      Yeah. It is good to know that. Absolutely. That at least is a good cause to raise funds and use them to make the life others better at least. Well, we have come far; I appreciate that the other sides of our reality is at least within our thoughts.

      Going back to the point of this topic, I mean animals; the Galapagos island is a good example for knowing diversity. The iguanas there are salt water in origin. Correct me if I am wrong. Is it only the Galapagos the place where you can find such salt water iguanas?
