I have bad skin...

F*ck people who make up words so that they could sound scientific and more elite.

Examples:
mixology
jumpology
eventology

Now if these people were really serious, they'd have use the latin origins of the words.
 mixology would be commisceology or mixtology
jumpology would be saltology
eventology  would be casusology

Then again they could have been down to earth and used the proper words.
Mixologist would be cocktail maker or even better, bartender
Jumpology would be jump photographer
Eventology would be events managemer or events organizer or events planner or mayb even, partygoer

People who called themselves X-ologists usually devote a time of their lives studying and measuring and explaining knowledge regarding X. Now you don't usually see research papers or journals such as American Journal of Mixology or New England Journal of Eventology. So stop trying to sound scientific when what your doing is not science. We understand you love what you do and you really want to elevate it to a higher status but naming it like a field of science just makes you look and sound stupider.

So, simple shoes. Eco-friendly right?

Good: Use of recycled materials such as rubber tires, company adheres to ethical guidelines regarding work environment, hiring, etc
Not-so-good: Believes 100% organic cotton is the only way to go, Philippine simple shoes supply is probably imported which kinda defeats the purpose of using recylced materials (airplanes = fossil fuel)
Bad: Expensive. I'd rather buy local brands which are cheaper and produced here. And these local brands are not imported or flown in

Speaking of organic. I hate the concept because it helps foster the belief of natural is good. Yeah. Not quite. Though some organic farming methods should be adopted, rejecting the use of pesticides and fertilizers just because they are "artificial" is stupid. Also, rejecting biotechnology (eg GMOs)? hello! Man and technology is such a natural combination. Besides, there are already studies showing that GM crops being used in the Philippines have not caused massive ecological destruction nor impoverished farmers. The policies regarding GM crops should be closely monitored though and I hate that farmers have to contend with IPR and be dependent on biotech firms for their seeds.
