Human ethics and their problems
As I've been watching a discussion about a completely different topic (weight), there also was a vegan who argued that all animals were almost as intelligent as humans and thus we should not eat them.
The problem I have with vegans and vegetarians as such, is one of morale and ethics. The way I see it we, the humans that is, are just animals as well. We are intelligent, that is true, but intelligence is our means of survival, nothing more. Other animals are not as intelligent as we are - at least the way we define it. I seriously doubt that - and not because of what the scientists say, but because the way I see it, only intelligent beings survive on the globe we call earth (and yes, I know our planet is rather an egg than a globe, but usually people call it a globe).
Vegetarians declare it wrong to eat meat - and usually not because of health, but because of morals. Vegans even go one step further, they declare it wrong to use any kind of animal product, including milk, eggs, honey or even leather - because of morals, too. If I could ask any predator on earth (and biologically speaking we are predators, too, we eat meat, we have 'fangs' - though not very strong ones - and we originally had a lifestyle based on hunting animals … and eat fruits, vegetables, roots and so on in addition), they would only say "so what" when faced with the fact of their prey being intelligent and able to feel pain or joy as well. They don't lack intelligence, they only lack morale. And I don't think they're unhappy because of it.
funny hahhhhn

Snorkeling in Maldives
Snorkeling in Maldives is increasingly gaining momentum, as it gives an opportunity to even those people, who cannot dive or do not feel enthusiastic about trying diving, to enjoy the wonderful underwater life by simply wearing a mask and fins. Read on to know more about snorkeling sport in Maldives…
These days, most of the hotel resorts are making provision for snorkeling. The calm waters around the coral islands of Maldives make snorkeling very easy. The superb visibility of the sea, the credit for which goes to its crystal clear waters, enables you to witness the underwater life as you snorkel.
Snorkeling allows you to become a part of nature and glance at the colorful fishes that flock around the hotel resorts in the lagoons. The best part about snorkeling is that it makes you feel the depth of the world lying beneath you and it is something that really astonishes people. Maldives is considered to be one of the best destinations for snorkeling in the world.
