    Humans may not be inherently bad, but it’s hard not to think that were we to become extinct, all other life on the planet would flourish as a result.

    I mean…
    ‘Subjected’ to a ten second question is some confirmation bias stuff right there!

    I am a vegetarian and the only issue I have with vegans is all the cheese has disappeared off my choices in restaurants!

    Yet you think (about four posts earlier) that letting people get on with their lives will lead to societal collapse.

    Thank you, Vin, for recognising my comment for how it was meant and for your defence.
    Perhaps I should have used blue ink.
    Anyway as already stated, in my response to him, I don’t give a **** about his opinions.

    Yes that's completely fair. I guess there are secret negotiations taking place but when that broker is Qatar, you really do have to wonder!

    Mrs No7 is a veggie too, and she says the same.

    My point is that as she doesn't eat meat, she actively asks for the veggie choices and always will as she doesn't want meat. I can 'accidentally' eat the veggie choice and it doesn't go against my principles.

    No,the question isn't rhetorical. If your view is peace at all costs then I'm genuinely interested in where that leaves Ukraine, once the tanks are in their country.

    You're a bright bloke (I mean that genuinely) so I'm just interested in your opinion as to what you do if you lead Ukraine and Russian tanks are rolling towards your capital.

    I'm not asking you to take sides, I'm interested in what concrete action your 'peace at all costs' policy would cause you to take in that circumstance. It's not a trick question.

    Not really sure I see the link between upholding moral standards in a well functioning democratic society and the anti-human agenda?

    Two very different issues which you chose to conflate for some reason

    Just because you enjoy being bent over and shafted by politicians who choose to cover their deceit with climate virtue signalling, doesn’t mean I will.

    I"ll follow the science, the politicians and deniers are duped by the fossil fuel lobby.

    Usually the anti vax conspiraloons and climate change deniers are one and the same. Look out for the lizards!

    I think most of them are anti climate virtue signalling - short termism at the cost of the future.

    With the Rwanda refugee plan being ruled on, this week, this short interview with the daughter of the Hotel Rwanda hero gives an insight into Rwanda.
