Deanna Hausman replied to Slam Poet's discussion Vegetarian/ Meat Eaters

"I love that reason. For a while I had this long speech I prepared whenever anyone asked why I was veggie, but now I just use that. It's hard to argue with that one."

Deanna Hausman replied to Ashley Richardson's discussion Buddhism and desire ?

"In most major religions there are people who have chosen a life of religious contemplation in favor of a "normal" one. That's not unique to Buddhism. I don't know numbers, but if there are more Buddhists who have chosen this life…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Slam Poet's discussion Vegetarian/ Meat Eaters

"I've been a vegetarian for 5 years. I technically still eat dairy and eggs, but I don't like how cows milk and eggs taste, so I just eat them as ingredients in cake and such. I really try to cut down on my intake of eggs especially- the…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Ashley Richardson's discussion Buddhism and desire ?

"Something that's also important to remember is that it takes a long time to achieve enlightenment: numerous, numerous lives. The Buddha lived many lives as a pre-Buddha, preparing himself. It takes a lot of discipline, obviously, and it's…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Ashley Richardson's discussion Buddhism and desire ?

"(Not a Buddhist) I believe that yes, they would say the desire to succeed and work harder is bad, because they are desires tied to this world. What Buddhists want is to completely escape anything tying them to this world, because being tied to the…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."

"By the way, my not giving a reason for why more men might me homeless was partly an attempt to not try and "rationalize", as you say. And I did acknowledge that societal forces work on men in my comment about how men's role as parents…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."

"There are no laws that need to be changed. Just perceptions. Feminism today is hard, because you're right, there's not a physical glass ceiling any more. It's all in what it's considered right for a girl to do, and now it's…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."

"Your points are quite good. The point about the court system I definitely agree and I think this is a huge problem. Combat wars; women can't be in combat positions in the army. I can't talk about prisons because I don't know if…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."

"Because it began by women to try and enhance the position of women, which when feminism began was terrible. Early feminism was more focused on purely enhancing women's status (in some cases at the cost of other things like civil rights- not…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Russ Christie's discussion "It is only sexist when men do it."

"The difference is that men have pretty much always occupied a position of much greater power than women. That's why a commercial of a man using a woman as a footstool instantly makes you go EW!, because it has a huge basis in reality and…"

Deanna Hausman replied to Vertigo_One [Ops Mod]'s discussion The problem, and danger, with the Chick-Fil-A boycott

"I don't understand you. You said earlier that not spending money at a company that donated to a neo-nazi group would be ok, even right. I don't see why, by your logic. We don't know that the server at McDonalds isn't going to…"
