    Or look at it this way - if you are into mod stuff, Northern Soul etc. Then you should appreciate black culture soul and all that, and so you really shouldn't be criticising the same people from where that music comes. Particularly if you have made money off it.

    The evidence I have are the people that I see on my social media who have all made comments about this, people who've never even mentioned animal cruelty before. Their apparent stance belies their real feelings about animal cruelty as a cause. I've never seen them mention the whaling in the Faroes, despite me mentioning it once a year. If they were campaigning against stuff like that all the time then at least I could respect their viewpoint as they're standing by their principles, but this is just jumping on the bandwagon of the next big social outcry.

    Do you really believe that for someone to honestly hold an opinion and to be able to express that opinion, they should do so continuously and at every given opportunity? If that is the case then I am sure many of your acquaintances will regard you as a fool, but wouldn't see the point in voicing that opinion continuously. You come across as being more intolerant than the folk you criticise and for a reason far less worthy.

    Was soul music first created in Stockton-on-Tees? I never knew that.

    No, he'd be a xxxxing nutter. This dentist fits that category. If you can wound a lion with an arrow, track it for two days while it's bleeding to death, wait until it's exhausted before shooting it dead, skin it, behead it and get a kick out of that, well it's up to you to judge whether it's normal.

    I wouldn't fancy going to Walter Palmer's dental practice. Would you trust him to sedate you? I bet he has jars of pickled bollocks all over the place.

    After a new smartphone?

    Soul music was created by poor black people. The best music (if you like that sort of thing of course) is exactly the same people as are vilified on the likes of 'benefits street'. Look at corporate and middle class benefits - they dwarf the pittance given to the poorest members of our society.
    Turning round afterwards and saying 'it was a joke' 'you're wrong' for defending those people, doesn't cut it.

    Edit - Particularly if that person has personally profited from that culture in the first place. Cheeky ****ing ****, **** off.

    I understood the point you were making. I just thought it was a bit of a stretch.

    Having an opinion on something is one thing, but the sheer amount of ****e I've seen posted on the subject is incredible. Either you're an animal rights activist or you aren't, there isn't really much of a middle ground, otherwise you're very quickly contradicted.
    You don't need to constantly post your opinion on everything all the time, I wasn't suggesting you did, but acting like a member of PETA over one thing and not giving a **** about something else is a bit rich and I can't take their opinion seriously if they don't honestly stand by their values. It's like when a member of your family posts a Britain First post, you know they aren't racist, so why post it? It doesn't represent their core values as a person, it's just getting involved in a media trend.

    I think it's less to do with the amount the government rewards them with for being lazy idle ****s and more to do with the fct they're total scummers.

    No, you refuse to believe that they're racist. There's a difference.

    Of course my post wasn't political in any way, and the total lack of response otherwise says everything.
    Edit - at least certainly no less political than the slagging off poor people post I was responding to.
    Sir Cheshire Ben tell me where those posts are wrong.

    You probably have more chance of being hit by lightning twice than you have of being attacked by any of those animals. None of them are going to attack for food or hunger. You are just not on the menu, it's not something that's in their nature. In the Bears case if you got in between her cubs and her there is a chance of an attack. But a child it's not going to attack because it won't see the child as a threat. A mountain lion will only attack a person if you are running past it and it's elevated like on a boulder above you in the evening or dusk. It's like a house cat toss something past it and it pounces but it's only going to eat it if it's food and people aren't food. They aren't African lions or grizzles, they are just mountain lions and black bears. They coexist perfectly fine with people. There are mountain lions in LA a famous one that has a den under the Hollywood sign believe it or not as well as a mountain lion that's territory is in SF and a week a year it passes through downtown at night right down the busy streets into Santa Cruz and the hills there. Bears will knock over garbage cans but it's easy to get bear proof ones.

    The real threat to your kid here and the one that actually has hurt kids on my street is rattlesnakes. A kid like 3 years old here had his hand amputated last year after he picked one up. So it's fine to kill a rattler near your house if you are afraid to move it away down the canyon or someplace.

    It's a complete lack of understanding that makes people think just what you said and then kill everything. No one is going to die not even a kid. Now your pet chihuahua is a tasty treat and it's dead if you leave it outside.

    If not you should get a chihuahua.

    Ah they won't eat cows or horses they are to large for them. They will eat goats and sheep sometimes but even then they tend to avoid them. In a way it's like evolution, people kill the ones that kill livestock so really they tend to avoid livestock but it does happen. A guard dog or a good fence normally is all you need. Mine I lock up in a barn thingy at night so they are safe. In the day you don't have to worry as nothing attacks in the day time. Deer is their real food and they pick them off easily.

    I do have a chihuahua it's name is Holly. I'm not sure you can legally live in Cali and not have a chihuahua.

    I agree with most of what you're saying, but only from the geographical perspective you are using. Go further north from where you are and the dynamics start to change; the cold and it's debilitating effects act on all creatures. Whether we speak of moving targets or just how dangerous a predator is is not as black and white as it is depicted on here - just for clarity, reality television really does show the stark realities, I know, I've had those experiences.
