OPINIONS

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet?

I think owning an exotic pet is not correct. In first place, it must be a huge reason to call them “exotic pets”, probably they have been took from places that have particular habitats and specific weathers and I think that force them to live in a place that is not  their natural home just to please a human desire is not something I agree. Besides I wonder why you’d want an exotic pet if there are a lot of “non-exotic animals” to take care of.

What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile?

This topic is really important. I think the immigration in Chile have been took for some politics to obtain votes, which is really alarming because there is a hate discourse about how the immigration is not a human right and how the immigrants come to Chile to commit crimes or take jobs that "are for Chilean people", all this reasons are based in fake and stupid stereotypes that just generate a more segregated community

What is your opinion about tattoos?

I love tattoos, when I was in high school I thought tattoos needs to have a strong meaning about philosophy, religion or maybe a date that had a mark on you but now I think my idea about this have changed. I mean, tattoos can have specific meanings but also can be used for more aesthetics reasons without a transcendental sense.   Besides, I think people never have to be judged because of their tattoos and maybe that is something older people don’t understand sometimes.

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?

I think is a stupid tradition because you have to tolerate that someone you barely know humiliate you in front of everyone. Maybe there are a lot of dynamics that makes “mechoneo” looks more like a funny game, (gymkhanas, paint your hair or body, etc.) but the point is how someone who is just one or two years older than you believes that have the power to make you do things you don’t want to, because if you don’t accept it they can cut your hair, or cut your clothes…
