Body heat Naamah. Steady temp all year around. I have warm hands too.

The Faroe Islands have also been purchasing whale meat from Iceland and Norway. If they’re purchasing from other countries, they’re not likely to be discarding their own.

The red meat and blubber of (toothed) Long-finned Pilot Whales in the Faroe Islands show high toxin levels, which has a detrimental effect on those who eat it. However, in Norway, only the red meat of Minke Whales is eaten and the levels of toxins conform to national limits.

Norwegians eat the red meat of whales, but the blubber - once the most valuable part of the catch - is now dumped because there is no domestic market for the fatty tissue.http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=31&art_id=qw116345214417B256

Much like smoking, we know it’s bad for us, but we do it anyways.

Naamah, we both disagree with whale hunting, but we do so for different reasons. You’re motivated by the emotional, ethical and moral side. While for me, it’s just another unnecessary industry which exists only because it can turn a profit.

The problem with making it an emotional and moral issue is that only animals which are cute or perceived to be friendly to humans will receive protection.

I love those visuals! :)

, until now I have not responded.
A little like Pandora's box, once I lift that lid, well. Lets just say my opinions on animal welfare are not always received well from others.

Reduce beef and lamb consumption, if you must eat meat, eat kangaroo meat, it is available from Coles stores and much healthier. The beef and lamb industry is one of the greatest environmental disasters for australia. It's impact on our eco system has been devastating and if our ideas and attitude do not change, we will continue to see not only our native fauna disappearing but our landscape resembling a uninhabitable hostile scape, not unlike mars.

Do not burn fire wood, not only does it reduce your carbon foot print, but if using wood sourced from native habitat, it is destroying homes and shelter for many creatures.

now we can make our own by growing it in a petri dish or should that be petri pot?

I don't even need or want to look at the picture because that would just make me angry and that would serve no purpose.

It is so unfortunate what many races in the World do commit horrifying rituals/acts
and say its entitled because of 'my culture'.
It's not only Denmark but multidudes of other Countries

They do use it for food, but the valuable part is the fat.

It’s rather hard to believe that any sane person would devote that much time, effort and money, half a dozen times every year, into an activity which produces no financial gain. To suggest the people of the Faroe Islands are ritualistic and sadistic killers, is nothing more than animal activist propaganda.

they kill less than a 1000 Pilot whales every year.

So that means if you marry someone who has a 16 year old daughter...you can shag her?? because its not related????

Thank you for echoing my sentiments! Someone with commonsense finally. I don't understand how anyone can think this is ok.

I know personally someone who only fvcked tradies because she wanted to see how much of her house she could get renovated for free.

Even if theyre praising you ,flirting,conning,or coeursing you..all the way to the bedroom.They dont admit it.

lts BOTH.

women felt physically and emotionally vulnerable when with her lover

with respect for the other person, without that sort of "threat" hanging over their heads

onya naamah love ya guts

A sliding scale where the punishment is decided by the value or perceived value of the crime or goods. Maybe for car theft we would have to get three quotes on the car first? For theft from the supermarket you get a reduced sentence for knocking off the weekly special. Maybe we could even introduce an Express Court for 8 previous warnings or less?

We don't, and won't ever know the history of the child offender.

Your statement about the kid is correct in that he is being charged with receiving stolen goods and the law makes no distinction between a freddo frog or a TV.

The inhabitants of the Faroe Islands have no subsistence need for whale/dolphin meat, and much of the flesh is left to rot and be dumped; it cannot be exported, as it is polluted with heavy metals and other toxins and therefore cannot meet EU heath standards for human food.

Every year, in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon Dolphins are slaughtered brutally by the danes. Why you may ask, simply because. A pointless and stupid right of passage to manhood.

The poor dolphins are stabbed a number of times, but as if that weren't enough, they bleed to death, probably in excruciating pain while the whole town watches.

The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in an carnival atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctrinated from an early age, children are often given a day off school to watch the fun. They run down to the bay and clamber over the carcasses of slaughtered whales/dolphins.

By slaughtering 100 whales at a time, the Faroese are wiping out entire pods and family groups. They are removing building blocks from the gene pool of the species and damaging the web of life in the North Atlantic and the North Sea.

Would so many of the posters be this vocal if a white kid was in this position??

If this kid had received your stolen computer from the person who stole your computer then should we just slap his wrist??

now he returned in his 40’s caught up with his step sister..one thing lead to another and yep….well lets say that got real close !!!!

is it ok to have sexual relations with your step siblings ?

we are really just bobbing about in Space

You see, if you look at a regular globe of the world, Australia is located quite far South.

I made a point of taking him and the lip gloss back to the shop to pay for it because I think its important to respect other people's belongings, even if they're an anonymous store owner.

" It's alright for you down south with your nice suburbs/houses/communities etc..., You should try living your life here and having this anti social behavior going on about you..., day in/day out. It's not just the kids it's the whole extended family !"

isn't it sadder that these kids couldn't afford to buy a freddo frog each?....were they overpriced?

It always staggers me how fast people jump on board to bag the police!

Yet,if were in danger,whos the people we want there NOW?!!

How would you feel if someone nicked your Freddos??

The boy, who has no prior convictions, also faces a second charge involving the receipt of a novelty sign from another store. The sign, which was also allegedly given to the boy by his friend, read: ”Do not enter, genius at work.”

there had to be some special mechanism that prevented most of us from choosing not to reproduce because if their wasn't no sane person would want to spend their life changing nappies when they could be out riding motorcycles and so nature invented that in-love feeling to get us to cooperate.

Now of course this assumes that ducks, for example, don't have that in-love feeling but surely that can't be right?

As for you being the “inarticulate, violent, drunken bully with a mental disorder in the relationship” I won’t have put it quite that way myself but I suppose that “wonderful” had to balance something out, though nothing comes to mind; honest.

the tendency of a great many people to seek out the same obviously unsuitable kind of person over and over again, it does in some sense seem to capture some of the most eye rolling aspects of life.

Or as I recently said to one of oldest and dearest friends “don’t worry I am sure that sooner rather than later your will-to-life will persuaded you that another inarticulate, violent, drunken bully is a prince

I have a "No Dam" bumper sticker....

so I get to vent.. invisably..

sometimes I feel a little left out..passed over ...

Now i would have hoped that we are on here for the same reason....but lately, i think not...

As Im going to see Pearl Jam later this month I hope Im going to hear the real thing.

Well what I said is true.

Even the POLICE will tell you that one.

The Keystone Kops was a series of silent film comedies about a totally incompetent group of policemen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_Kops

wisdom of Namah

Naamah for her brilliantly thought out, caring and diplomatic responses.

I have to admit im not looking forward to hitting 40....that would make me nearly as old as Naamah and im scared!

Bugger,I was thinking this thread might be Naamah pleading insanity to some crazy crime shed committed! lol

Great more competition!!! We all want men with deep voices too? ffs!

I wonder whether men would HEAR better if we sang to them then!

...recordings (of male voices) were then played to female judges, who were asked to rate the males' attractiveness, age, weight and height, and to estimate the muscularity of the speaker and whether he had a hairy chest. Men with voices in which there were closely spaced, low-frequency harmonics were judged as being more attractive...

They showed extremely strong agreement on all judgements. The results imply that there could be sexual selection through female choice for male vocal characteristics, deeper voices being preferred.

Why Men Don't Listen to Women

He really isn't listening to you! But you won't believe the reason why.

When men and women speak, the human brain processes the sounds of those voices differently, Britain's Mirror and Agence France Presse report of a new study from the U.K.'s University of Sheffield. While most of us actually hear female voices more clearly, men's brains hear women's voices first as music. But it's not music. So the brain goes into overdrive trying to analyze what is being said.

Bottom line: Men have to work harder deciphering what women are saying because they use the auditory part of the brain that processes music, not human voices. Men's brains are not designed to listen to women's voices. It's not the pitch of the woman's voice, but rather the vibration and number of sound waves that cause the problem, notes Discovery News.

But guys have no trouble at all hearing each other because men use a much simpler brain mechanism at the back of the brain to decipher another man's voice and recognize it as speech.

"The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural 'melody' in their voices. This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice," lead researcher Michael Hunter told The Mirror.

The research findings were published in the journal NeuroImage

While I don't agree with the concept of me flapping around

and perhaps my theory does not apply to all aspects of love as such

if you see your own downfalls and move to change them to effectively increase your odds, then you stand a much better chance of finding a partner

The simplest example is that if a man who smokes gives up smoking the number of women who will be interested in dating him will go through the roof, the majority of emails that I receive on POF say exactly this in no uncertain terms.
