I'm fed up with this "it's OK because it's a different culture" nonsense, it's the same thing some people say when someone is stoned to death for committing adultery in some Muslim **** hole or someone with possible mental problems is shot in China for selling drugs. Sometimes if you think things are wrong you should just stand up and say so. Dolphins are intelligent, self-aware mammals with bonded social interactions, I think the Japanese are disgusting for letting this continue, whatever their history or culture.

It's good to see FIFA out for blood, at he moment the PL have been pussies, mainly I believe to protect the image of the league and because Storrie is buddies with the board. If FIFA put enough pressure on them they will have to act. It's a bit off that the English clubs owed money are paid by the PL TV money when the foreign clubs are left penniless, especially considering the comparative riches of English football.

How do Japan eat/farm their cows differently then?

Eating cows is not just a western thing.

What, like in Escape to Victory when the Nazis score? I've never noticed that at SMS.

What the hell is a piped fan?

Humans are w@nkers

Just trying to win votes, little sense in it.

I agree, but the Japanese do the same things to cows, pigs, sheep ect, but also go on dolphin and whale murdering rampages - that makes them crueler than us IMO.

It's impossible to comment without knowing the facts but Cortese does seem like a bit of a **** in the way he handled the Echo thing, but then again sacking Oldknow was a big plus.

Killing Bulls and dolphins and stuff.

We have a better record on animal cruelty than many countries.

Being so well travelled you must surely be aware that some cultures are crueler to animals than others then? For example in Spain they torture and kill Bulls for a laff, in Japan they slaughter Dolphins. In the UK we do neither of those.

You are right, there are many differences between cultures, some cultures are crueler to animals than others. What do we do to animals in the UK that people in Japan find repulsive?

I don't agree with the way most cows are treated either.

We need to eat, wether we need to eat meat is a different debate altogether. I think people who hunt for sport are t@ssers as well, it takes a special type of t@sser to butcher a dolphin or whale though IMO, unless they depend on them for their existence.

Not really, in the UK we kill cows for food. In Japan they kill cows for food and butcher thousands of dolphins. There is a difference there, there is nothing stopping us butchering dolphins, we just dont do it because we are not as cruel.

The Japanese are cruel people, they proved that in the war.

Pompey won't go bust until after the transfer window at the earliest, no decent asset stripper would pull the plug whilst there are still some players to be sold.

True but CO2 is a significant greenhouse gas, which we are pumping out billions of tons of and is linked to the temperature of the planet. Just because there are other greenhouse gasses how does that make CO2 not a greenhouse gas?

The climate has always changed, but it has changed for a reason (solar cycles, shifts in the earth's orbit, volcanoes etc). These are things scientists observe and measure and the vast majority think they cannot account for the recent warming. CO2 absorbs heat more than the other gasses in our atmosphere - FACT CO2 levels have been linked directly to temperature thoughout the Earth's history - FACT Humans are pumping out billions of tons of it - FACT Much is still to be learned about the effects of man's CO2 but many experts predict a catastrophic outcome, it would be very foolish just to ignore these facts and hope the scientists are wrong when common sense says they are not.

This is quite worrying, or not at all depending on wether you are right or left wing.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8437703.stm

I think it's a mistake to mix the science of climate change with politics, the two are completely separate. Every government on the planet (apart from only Saudi Arabia I think) recognize that man is effecting the climate, that cannot be a right or left wing agenda, it's just science. Where they do mix is in how we combat it, as long as all the world's countries are competing against one another on a global market there will NEVER be any effective change - the only way for change is by working together for the benefit of everyone and government control, that is what the right wing are finding so hard to come to terms with.

Lazy teachers, that's the problem, the roads round Southampton are fine.

Also if they go into admin now would they still get their parachute payments or would the PL just give to their football creditors?
