So now you've moved from liptsick in bunny eyes, and you're on to smoking?


Ha ha.


Your desire to generate extreme, barely-existent, examples knows no bounds. Bullshit.


Whatever your limited knowledge may be Tommy, it clearly doesn't stretch to biology. It simply is not possible to 'model' the effects of medicines in computers. We're not that advanced. It's not medieval, it's reality.


The world is not full of animal torturers who do it for fun. Most people want to get treehuggers out of their lives. If they could. they would.

5.07am? wowzas! Loving the new descriptive words - extreme, barely-existent, tree-hugger and even some morning swearing.


Ill be right back at you this evening Huey, I agree my examples have been rather sparse. More to come.

There's a very strong catholic feeling to animal rights, rooted in original sin. It's as if humans deserve to die of their ailments, and animals do not.


The cruelty, harsh realities and nasty deaths of a 'wild' existence are seen as a righteous path.


Crackpot.

Hugenot,


There's also the strange anthropomorphism which leads people to look after wild animals that are due to die - which is a natural state. See this rather nauseating thread as an example. "Saving two baby pigeons because Momma & Poppa pigeon have gone missing" Uuuurgghh!!

Well humans would, wouldn't they? What do the animals say? They are innocent in this. If its a matter of a greater degree of intelligence perhaps there should be iq testing in humans. If you fall below a certain level then you can be used for testing. Perhaps even elements of the prison population could be used. Humans may be the cleverest animals but it's not the animals who are fu**ing up the planet. They don't appear to be that stupid. 73

"innocent" animals? Innocence implies a moral or ethical context which makes it literally pointless to talk in terms of 'innocent' animals and (by implication) 'guilty' humans. Similarly, humans may be f*cking up the planet, but what relevance does that have in the context of this discussion? If you want out of human society, you can always head for the bush and take your place in the natural food chain.


Testing cosmetics on animals isn't wrong because the animals have rights, or are innocent. It's because inflicting pain on animals for a trivial reason is wrong by our own moral/ethical code. The consensus seems to be that inflicting pain for the purpose of saving human lives is OK, but even then I'm sure for most people there are limits. Killing all the tigers in the world would save a few human lives, but I'm not aware of much support for that.


The point is this, TM. We all know you're a vegan, and for all I know you never swat flies either. But you only have one message and it's a bit tiresome when you keep on trying to dress it up as something else.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
