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.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
