so, in the uk there was recently a bill which was nodded through parliament - the animal sentience bill - which was backed by vegan activists.. dogs, cats.
cows, even lobsters now have been recognised to have feelings.. first of all, let me say that if you want to go vegan that's fine with me.
we're all allowed our individual dietary choices.. but for how much longer?
Joke: Q. How do you know if someone is vegan?
A. Don't worry, they'll tell you.
I eat meat. As far as I'm concerned, if I was in the bush and an animal was hungry, they'd eat me alive. I don't think any of them would say, 'hey, don't eat Punky, he's a vegan!' So, I eat animals.
One of our school trips (this was the '70's after all), was to an abattoir. I do agree that animals should be treated better, but they wouldn't treat me better, so there is that!
I'm kidding.
Back to my steak!!

alanv - The governing body are here to stay I'm sure. They love all the attention they get
Pretty much how I see it.
They love the booze and rock star luxury. Like George Carlin said of Politicians, same for religious leaders - It's a big club...and you ain't in it!
what is everyone doing for thanksgiving and christmas?
or is it too early to ask?
we are having thanksgiving dinner at my nieces house.
What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving and Christmas?
As a Brit, thanksgiving is meaningless to me.
As for Christmas, probably nothing much. I tend to end up at the Polish side of the family the day before hand to do a sort of Catholic Polish Christmas with communion wafers and fish.
Simon - The cheese curds ruin it
I know why they call it 'squeaky cheese'. That's the main bit we can't really get here (as I guess you know). The spuds seem different too. The nearest I can get here, is the newer type KFC chips (fries).
mushy peas
Even though I'm a Brit, mushy peas isn't something I like unless they're smothered in tommy sauce. My Mum loves them.
Yorkshire Pudding,
Now you're talkin'
When in Canada I love Poutine. We don't get it here in the UK
i only have lived in 4 states!
michigan.
georgia.
None. Being a Brit, I've mainly lived in Cambridge area.
It changes from day to day. I can't say hand on heart that I have one particular thing.
Today I fancy Jamaican Rice and peas with beef, gravy and chicken. Probably Grape cola to drink.
it doesn’t have to be about big money.

DOC - How many lives of bright, gifted, talented JW's were wasted peddling magazines for 10¢ contributions to support this effing Cult?
My sister, who now shuns me, wanted to go into the Police. She was refused because of possibly carrying a truncheon (in those days), and that when 'persecution(tm)' came, she'd be on the wrong side.
remember when after a circuit assembly the assembly overseer would come out right before the end of the assembly and make a special announcement;.
"brothers, we have a financial deficit of $5,000 dollars for our circuit assembly.
keep in mind that we have utilities and other expenses that need to be met.
The 'deficit(tm)' was always a top scam to con more money from the Jobo R&F. Why should they stop at Zoom? They are greedy, drunkards and sexual predator lovers.

I retire in less that 3 years. Ugh! I'm getting old.
I wanted to be an actor ~(like my cousins, Ronald Allen and Patrick Troughton...just to name drop), or musician but being raised a Jobo, no chance! Having said that, I look at those people and wonder if I'd fit in with the Guardian reading, champagne socialist luvvees.
