I've stated loud and clear on the Scorpio board about the ignorance of this situation ... and how this was the artists aim to point out.
"Sign this if you don't believe it is Art."
Don't sign a petition to STOP an atrocity .. just sign you believe it's art. In other words ... just voice a feeling or opinion but don't do anything about it.
"Vargas, 32, said he wanted to test the public's reaction, and insisted none of the exhibition visitors intervened to stop the animal's suffering."
This artist created a situation in which to prove to people that they are moved on an emotional level .. however, sit back and choose to ignore doing anyting to prevent such atrocities from presenting themselves to their awareness of it .. such as ..
"More than a million people have signed an online petition urging organisers of this year's event to stop Vargas taking part."
The above quote is saying that a million people have signed a petition trying to stop this man from putting in their faces, that which they don't like .. however, a million people have NOT signed a petition from it taking place by this man.
Ignorance is bliss ... if you don't make me aware of it then it doesn't exist and I like this .. I like not being aware .. so let me sign a petition so this man won't be allowed to show me how ignorant I am.
The whole point of this exhibit was to express to us humans that just because we are "moved" with outrage .... we don't do anything about it, though we think we are standing up for a cause, just for this very emotion in itself, because we feel it.
Brilliant artist .....

How do you manage to tell an aqua what you need, in a relationship- without making them feel pressured into something?!! I don't want to pressure or rush things with this aqua, but I'm definitely starting to get a little impatient, 6 months, and emotionally I feel the same distance that I felt from him in the beginning...I feel we're gettign closer, he's gaining trust with me...but is it typical to go on for months without really expressing what you feel or think aquas??? It's a tricky situation, we're attracted to eachother, we hook up, and hang out as friends....he said he liked me, he's a very sweet and honest person...I don't personally feel he's using me, we like to hang out...but I'm starting to notice that he may be gettin a little too comfortable and doesn't seem to be working at things too hard these past two weeks! I have been trying to distance myself from him, but dont know how to approach my needs with him at this point...do I ask him what he thinks of our "undefined" situation? Or do I just speak with my actions, and become less available to him? If this was a normal guy (as in not an aqua) I wouldn't have to think so hard about what I want to say and how it would come across...still can't figure this one out! The problem is, we're not in a "relationship" so it's hard to have any expectations from this guy...and I know that is a problem, no matter what someone's sign is, but I guess I'm trying to gain a sense from you aquas out there, he knows I like him, he knows I ahve feelings invested, he has not run away, but he's not offering a whole lot more than what he seems he is ready for...in the past, when Ive asked him or told him what I needed, he responded pretty well...for some reason, now, I'm scared as hell to bring up our "status" because I don't really care obout the label of being in a relationship, or dating, but I do need to know what he is thinking...as far as potential...is that a bad thing to ask an aqua? Iv'e read they respect people more when you speak ur mind...but isI guess I just want to understand whether our hanging out, is considered growth to an aqua...

Any suggestion I make, he is down for usually....I think this Saturday was the first time he really told me he didn't feel like comign out when I invited him...of course I took it personally, but I guess there's a first time for everything....but usually, I feel that I am always making the suggestions...he always goes with the flow, is that how how aquas prefer it? Other people making the suggestions, and ideas....? I don't mind and wouldn't mind if I knew how he felt about me....but I don't think that is something I can force out of him....I understand it requires patience being with an aqua....but how does one gauge if an aqua is really interested in you? Is it simply the fact that they call and make plans with you- is that enough to prove an aqua likes you? SHouldnt it require a little more on their part?

yeah... i think i know what you mean.
we'd normally hang out every tuesday night, go somewhere after class and have some drinks...
today she told me that she cant go out tomorrow night.
when she said that, i pretty much knew why.
i dont want to play games with her... but im going to play along. maybe she really has a lot of stuff going on and she cant make it, or maybe i've gone a bit too far, and she doesnt want to be around me for now...
however it may be, i told her that i had no problem with that.
and i told her to just let me know when 'its cool' with her to hang out again...
she agreed to.
i can always talk to her online, and i see her in class once a week.
so im not too worried about not being in contact with her.
whatever she decides to do regarding messing around with other guys; well as much as i disapprove of it, it really isnt my place to say anything.
and if she isnt the girl im gonna end up dating, well then, that is out of my control... though i dont believe in fate.
funny side note... she has this weird belief than when the number 1111 shows up, the person gets to make a wish...
this has happened twice already!
kinda funny. and its always for some reason, me the one that has to make a wish...
you can imagine whats going on through my head ;P
than again,... maybe you cant.

Great self control doesn't mean perfect self control.

I don't ever get a call just to chat, this last week he went a whole week, M to Friday, without calling! Finally, calls me on friday to tell me what he was up to all week, doesn't ask me what my weekend plans are...and then called me again at 7:30 on that friday night, apparently to hang out...but I didn't answer because I alreayd had plans! Who waits until a Friday night to make plans? The lack of advance plan making is ridiculous, I didnt' hear from the aqua all week, wouldn't a normal person call to inquire about weekend plans...and not wait until the day of to call a girl? Usually, I'm available, that night was the very first time I did not pick up his call. Is this a good strategy with aquas? He needs to know that I'm nto always available at his beck and call. I'm hoping to tell him I can't hang out with him the next time he calls last minute to make plans again.

"really?"
Too much water can be too much, IMO.
"s_r, what happened to Lady India (exotic woman at work)?"
She's cool. We're having fun talking and flirting.
