Hmm, well first thing I notice the Fillipino's are rather silent on this one.
As fiercely anti religion I am, I wouldn't be too bothered about a baptism, after all it's just a splash of water and a few silly words which the baby can make of it what it wants when it is old enough to comprehend.
As for vegetarianism, I despise the way we treat animals and I hate the very principal of a balut in that the poor chick hasn't even had a chance to break out and see the world - however, you only have to look at our teeth to see that we are by, by nature, omnivores.
Vegetarianism is a product of modern morals that has only come about as a result of the inhumane way in which animals are slaughtered.
I personally think vegetarianism is something that must be personal choice and as somebody who has a vehement hatred of McDonalds, KFC etc... I would gladly show my kids some of those PETA videos on YouTube, when of course the child was old enough, the right age being debatable I suppose, I wouldn't want he/she to suffer endless nightmares.
I am not a vegetarian myself but I do like Morrissey.
Anyway, back on topic! Where's the Pinoys?
