I did actually kill a wasp once, but it had flown under my duvet while I was asleep and I thought it was just something tickling... maybe some hot girl had crawled under there in the night. Anyway, it proceeded to sting me on the groin, so I got my come-uppance. It's karma, baby.

One thing that often confused me is why there are so many clean Buddhist monks, taking flower baths. Surely killing all those microbes must be a bit of pisser in the old karma stakes.

I think that the killings of brainless organisms are exempt from ethical debates.
Who wants to take the first pop at Dunk?
OHHHH. OH NO I DIDN'T, OH NO I DIDN'T!
I'm kidding Dunk, I you

I too am puzzled by that. It's exactly what I mean in my last post. When did we get the right to decide how important something is? Don't get me wrong, I will be less concerned about a dead fox than a dead person. Doesn't mean I think that ripping a fox to pieces to make me feel like a man is justified.
Its because one is threat to the gorillas very existence and the other is just a bunch of guys and dogs killing a fox, albeit in a way that is ethically questionable, so yes I feel there is a huge difference.
I agree with you, but feel there are much greater issues to worry about when it comes to the animal kingdom.

quite a clever joke that mate... boring and unfunny... but clever
i'm on your side... but i like fishing...
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

But hey, thanks for keeping it civil.
That's fair enough. It's more the attitude behind fox hunting that causes me to get really angry about it. I know they aren't endangered, hell I see them regularly, even in the south of London. It's the completely archaic, supposedly 'genteel' notion of the noble sport with their horns and jodhpurs and hats. It's nothing to do with necessity, it's an opportunity to try and halt the evolution of basic, human morality, lest we wake up one day and realise that we don't need that kind of 'noble' behaviour in a civilised world. Bloodthirst is not a characteristic that I particularly endorse amongst the "class" of people who generally end up ruling our countries. It's a tad pathetic.

To be honest, I'm not overly opposed to fishing so long as you either eat the bloody thing if you let it die or you put it back in the water alive. It's POINTLESS killing of animals that I object to.
As for my joke, it was excellent. The great tragedy of your life is that your sense of humour only encompasses your own

Yes, I see where you are coming from and I dont disagree.
I was actually at one of these near gloucestershire about 7 years ago, forget exactly where, near Bibury up in the cotswolds I think. It was incredibly civilised and they did not kill the fox. It was just an excuse to dress up, drink scotch and bounce around on the horses. Didnt seem to be a big deal to me.

Anyway, cheers.
I used to live in Bibury for a wee while. Tell me, what is it that americans find so fascinating about the place? I lived in one of those little houses, you know... THE ones, that they put on the tourist guides and stuff. Tourists would actually knock on the door to get a look inside
but anyway, yeah. Some hunters just do it for the pomp and ceremony but plenty break the laws and kill the fox still.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
all we can do is gather some evidence and give that to the police.
it's kind of dirsturbing that those people even call fox hunting a sport. how the fuck is it sport? they enjoy seeing fox being torn to pieces by dogs, that's some sick shit.
MCKB you are right by saying those people think their are above the law, i think they also think they're above everyone and everything.

Interesting coincidence. I was there on business a few times. Wooton under edge I think it was called. Stayed at a beautiful place called calcot manor.
Its that small back road, the quaint villages, etc...
Its a very interesting place. And we dont have anything that old in our country.
"you mean these houses were here when people were only yea high" WOW
something like that.
But mostly, its because they want to feel like they are in one of those old lithographs they see in all the pubs in the US.
I stayed at the Bibury castle (think that was the name of it) on a one nighter, which some suspect was the inspiration for dickens bleak house. Pretty cool to be in that place-client took me fly fishing-british style, knickers and all. Pretty freaking snobbish actually. But a good experience.
Now please tell me where I can get a proper ploughmans, a henry, or a pickle and cheese sandwich here!!!!!!!

Sorry man, I now live in a less Cotswold-y part of the Cotswolds and totally steer away from the local pubs. Hearing people use the words "paki" and "coloureds" so liberally makes me uncomfortable I therefore have next to know knowledge of ploughmans lunches.
Besides, I go to university in London. Most of the buildings there are ugly and the closest you'll get to a good old rustic pub lunch is jellied eels and a pint of Abbot.
I like places like Bibury aesthetically but I can't imagine for the life of me why a tourist would go there. I certainly wouldn't come half way round the world for it It's mainly the backwards, small-mindedness and fox-hunting type people that live there that puts me off. A lot of country-folk are lovely but you also get the type that like to kill shit for giggles.

You coming over for any shows?

Nah I can't afford it to be honest. I'd love to see PJ in America one day though.
Maybe I'll kill some fox-hunters and sell their palatial estates (some good thread integrity keeping there).

Not really because I didn't want to bring class into it.
Hard not to though. It is generally speaking, a relic of the upper-class. I have nothing against the upper-class whatsoever. Just the ones that like animal murder.

People suck....:mad:
