kill a spider
although they are wonders in the ecosystem, if they get too close, they're a little creepy. Of course, Jainism as a belief system disagrees with me on this one.

drive without wearing a seat belt
I always wear a seat-belt, but that's because I want to live. However, if we could dispense with spending millions on the vegetables that choose *not* to wear their seatbelts and then crash, they should be allowed to make that decision.

don't buy bottled water
it's ravaging the ecosystem. Unreal - we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to come up with an almost magical system, whereby anywhere in the USA, when you turn on a faucet, high-quality, safe drinking water comes out.

be an atheist and join the armed forces
what does being an atheist have to do with it? What is it, the mujahadeen? It's the US Army (Navy, Air Force, Marines, et al.) after all.

have an abortion
this, like many situations in life is extremely complex, and isn't a simple "yes" or "no".

don't be a preacher or priest even though you know you have major moral faults as long as you are trying to do good
the world needs less priests, and more people who can actually make a difference. Praying is for silly people.
