Enco, Davis and I have similar views on some issues. So? Are you asserting that we are reinforcing each other instead of having arrived independently at our views? Any other text? Are you serious? I am well read and i am certain Davis is as well.

Civil liability is great for attorneys. I had a few dog bite cases. Easy Peezy lemon squeazy. The…[Read more]

That is well said Davis.

Additionally, Enco is under a chimera as to the relationship between unbridled capitalism and freedom. It inures to the benefit of the few. It hoses the many. What is freedom but an empty slogan for ideologues when enslaved to a mindless job of repetition that pays just enough to put food on the table and is often under…[Read more]

Here is an informative article about Pit Bulls. Four breeds get lumped into one. But only one was bred for fighting. The others were for AKC? Author disputes the stats. pretty good article.

The Truth About Pit Bulls: “The Most Feared & The Most Misunderstood”

Looking for favorable P. Bull press and found these:

Pit Bull Mix Saves Owner from Knife-Wielding Robbers

Astro the American pit bull terrier who was just a stray one year ago is now being hailed a hero after he saved his owner’s life during a medical emergency. … She told the news outlet that she had a fear of pit bulls and actually didn’t…[Read more]

My understanding is that lab grown meat using cells of donor animals will be indistinguishable from meat cuz it will be actual meat except that it will not have the hormones and antibiotics and the percentage and type of fat will be controlled. I hope i am correct about that. But the plant based stuff that is available now is ok. Not great really.…[Read more]

Speaking of seaweed…ever have a seaweed salad? It is really good and supposed to be a crazy healthy food. I miss eating meat. I get an impossible whopper now and then which fools me. There are some pretty good veggie burgers on the market and you can make em yourself if so inclined. I agree with Robert about eggplant. A good Italian restaurant…[Read more]

Unseen, the quote is a FOOLISH consistency. The issue is whether I am being foolish or the masses who eat meat and adore their cats and dogs are being foolish. (I will take Thoreau over Emerson. Remember the famous incident when Emerson visited Thoreau in jail over his civil disobedience?)

As to religiously inspired cultural norms those can be…[Read more]

it is always the same analysis. How does it impact humans. Ya know we all feel horrified when we think of our pets suffering. And we feel horrified by cultures that eat dogs. However, the vast majority of us have no problem supporting the meat industry. But livestock is similar in intelligence and emotions to the dogs and cats we cherish. If our…[Read more]

Collateral damage!

I was unaware of Pits on cats and dogs fatalities. You have a legit query. Unseen, how would you get rid of pit bulls?

Unseen, i just have a different perspective than most. I look at the history of our species and i see unhinged narcissism. From a geocentric universe to a universe created for our benefit and humans made in god’s image. Empires were thought to be impervious to historical forces and superior thus justifying exploitation of nongroup members as…[Read more]

We don’t get rid of all humans cuz one percent of us are sociopaths and another large percentage are dangerous due to indoctrination. Reputation as a dangerous species if not completely backed by evidence is like racial stereotypes. There is also a long history among humans of demonizing entire groups particularly when they are at war. And then…[Read more]

Paid leave as a reward for her stance. Great.

I am on board with the New Hampshire…live free or die. If you are not willing to wear a seat belt and you are jeopardizing your life or taking a greater risk of injury or death i suppose that is your business. It is a more legit freedom issue. The contrary position might involve the cost to society…[Read more]

I am glad she was fired. Viscerally, she makes me puke. But that is just a gut reaction cuz i find her sanctimonious.

Her employer is within its rights to require the vaccine. There is a balancing of interests that suggests it is perfectly
acceptable to impose a mandate. She can feel all warm and fuzzy with her brave stand for her autonomy over…[Read more]

Enco,

I know he didn’t write anything about his personal finances. That’s why I said I didn’t know.

I was just making a suggestion for him to investigate further, possibly to take care of finances in one fell swoop rather than calling each creditor.

Solution for hypothetical issue? That is a little silly.

I myself have been behind on bills…[Read more]

Simon broached the budge phenomenon. Will a little nudge cause a budge? Will a great big push transform a theist into a thinker or will the theist be ever the stinker? Won’t budge, stuck in sludge.

Handicapping horse races is a discipline that has so many unchallenged rules but if one is to be successful one must evaluate the evidence not…[Read more]

But theologians are making an honest attempt to make sense of the factual information they think they have, in the same way that philosophers do.

This is through a drunken monkey’s left eye after it has been torn by a marauding chimp.

Philosophy is the opposite in its approach. Religion-DOGMA FAITH INDOCTRINATION make the wheels spin.…[Read more]

Yeah Enco legalization is definitely the way to go. And yes impurities are always a risk. When i was a dopey kid i once picked up a joint that was in a hall of a motel. Me and my dopey friend smoked it. Wow did my heart race. Think it was angel dust. Fuck me!

But marijuana already comes in pill form. Ya can get it at your friendly neighborhood…[Read more]
