When you say “conscientious objector” do you mean things you wouldn’t do even if someone held a gun to your head? That narrows it down. I would never torture another living being. And that’s pretty much it, if we use the “gun to the head” definition. If we have another definition, I have a really long list of things I prefer not to do. ---

I won’t hunt or fish. I refuse to buy gas from BP. I don’t eat lobster. I don’t buy microsoft products. Cancer-based entertainment. That last one probably needs some explanation. I enjoy watching gross videos on youtube of zit popping, cyst removal, abscess draining, etc. But I won’t watch videos of cancerous tumors being removed. It just seems way too wrong. ---
