		<description>&quot;Thatâ€™s because youâ€™re an annoying buffoon. Anyone who doesnâ€™t agree with you is clearly a fascist.&quot;

I have never said that. I argue my points.

Anyone who doesn&#039;t agree with you is clearly a crazy.

Sorry I am not a member of your fan club and disagree with what you say. 

That means I am not welcome and am a buffoon amongst other things.</description>

That should be a disclaimer before any reading of government policy tbh...</description>

Brownie&#039;s defence of Bernard Manning may convince you otherwise.

&quot;To me its mission is a shinning example of everything thatâ€™s wrong with the left; more interested in fighting itself than its real enemiesâ€¦&quot;

Splitters indeed organising a safe tribal war.</description>

Sunny I am sorry I ate half of your hummus sandwich.  Especially as you were in desperate need of something to soak up the booze you&#039;d sunk :-D</description>

		<description>&quot;The point is that we have a system of rules that deals with all communicable diseases in animals by quarantining or killing them. This is hardly scientific.&quot;

Why isn&#039;t it scientific? Where is the evidence?

The idea is to stop the spread of disease. Vaccination means that possible side-effects get into the food chain. Surely a serious issue.

Look at the USA where hormone injections into animals is making the population obese.

The laws may seem severe but they have served the general population well. Asking to change that without evidence isn&#039;t for the public good.</description>

		<description>Private Eye demonstrated many of these problem in it&#039;s coverage of the Govt./MAFF&#039;s response to F &amp; M in 2001.
Suffice to say we are ruled by incompetent scientific ignorami, who ignore the best expert advice WE buy for them.</description>

I couldnt agree more. More BBQ sauce is what I&#039;d say. Question... When you take chicks out on dates, as a vegetarian, do you allow them to buy meat? If not, why not? :)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Other countries vaccinate and treat index cases to prevent transmission, its more scientific and you get better compliance with farmers&lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s also kinder.  I find our culling system not only wasteful and unscientific, but cruel on a very basic level.  If an animal can be treated, why not treat it, for crying out loud?</description>
