Do I really need to explain that to you? Unless you have asperger syndrome there is no excuse for asking that question.Quote:

what really bugs me...

Another annoyance of mine (bar staff will know what I mean, everyone else; learn from this) is people who come up to the bar after it's closed asking for drinks. Then stand there begging ye ("ah, just the one", etc, etc).
Absolute *******.
Is it worse to needlessly cut down a tree or needlessly kill a person?Quote:

Vegetarians are entitled to their own opinions and I won't ram my opinion down their throats if they don't ram their opinions down mine. My best friend is vegetarian and I occasionally eat meat free dishes.
I have issues only really with Vegetarians who smoke.
I mean what's going to kill you first cigarettes or chicken?
I think cigarettes :D
I don't ram my opinion down people's throats (at least when it comes to Vegetarianism) but I do take issue with ill informed presuppositions about vegetarians and their lifestyle.

- Curries
- The 'new' i.e. less frequent 56a timetable.
- The fact that 'the LUAS' is anything but quick, despite its name.
- The kamikaze idiots who try to sneak directly in front of moving tram across the LUAS tracks on O'Connell Street. Wait for a few milliseconds ffs!

Sure we'll agree to disagree.
Then in your opinion what are the differences between the rights of Animals and Human rights?Quote:

No, quite the opposite. I am pointing out that despite many quantative similarities between our species and the majority of species, we are a qualitatively higher life form. Similarly animals are a qualitatively higher life form than plants. By your logic animals DO have the same rights as humans or else you are being inconsistant in the application of said logic.
