So lets release all the animals into the wild and go back to hunting them for food, clothing, etc?

No veterinary care for them, survival of the fittest, and if we don’t get a clean kill the animal suffers…and so on…

(playing devils advocate here ) :wink:

I doubt that it’s the Aborigines that have made a business out of it. Generally speaking, traditional remedies that become more widely available become so because someone sees the potential and makes the investment to ramp up production and distribution and then reaps the rewards. If the people who first developed the remedies are lucky then the…[Read more]

My definition of a vegetarian is the same as the one given by the Vegetarian Society, in addition to that I’d include that a vegetarian shouldn’t be using any cleaning products/cosmetics/toiletries/or any other product in which any cruelty to animals is involved.

Doesn’t that depend on why they are vegetarians? I have several…[Read more]

Well look here now then boyo it’s like this.
The train is running late because of the sheep on the line but it’s ok, we’ve tied them to a lamp post so Caerphilly has got itself a new leisure centre see. Tidy mun.
Don’t let them English tell you we burn houses down, we’re just keeping a welcome in the hillside where we’ll get you to just as soon as…[Read more]

And your definition of vegetarian is…

Same as the Vegetarian Society’s:

A vegetarian does not eat meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or by-products of slaughter.

What’s your definition?

I assume you’re a vegetarian then…

Nooooooooooooo I’m just counting my blessings…every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

Never has the name Phoenix been so apt for me. I’m not out of the woods yet but I know now that I can cope with the worst if it comes to that and I will rise like the phoenix :D

As for Martin, well I don’t know him from Adam but not every message board suits everyone. Martin, from what little I’ve seen I would suggest that if you’re going to…[Read more]

I am sorry, but sneering at somebody is the worst kind of humour.

I’m confused. Who was sneering at who?

what in hell is this guy talking about???

I was referring to Jen, a woman I very much admire..

Thank you scep, still battling through the mire here but still very much alive and kicking :wink:

Martin’s comments weren’t directed at me though were they? :-s
I hope not.

Actually I do apologise. I apologise to anyone who was offended or upset by my comment.
I do not apologise to tinny though, I believe he would have understood my comment and the intent behind it and that is all that matters.

Oh I do give a sh!t, very much so. I liked tinny, one of the most genuine chatters I had the pleasure to chat with. We talked a lot about religion; organised religion, Satanism, wicca and so on. We talked of other things too.

He was a Satanist and he never let anyone forget it no matter what they thought of him as a result, I admired him for…[Read more]

RIP tinny, may your spirit soar now it’s free of these earthly shackles xx

P.S. would it be irreverent to suggest that he’ll be well pissed off if god has blessed him and he finds himself in heaven given his beliefs? :wink:

Wishing you a belated happy birthday Annette xx
