Re: Police animals

Well congrats to you and your wife, bro. I haven't read all the messages in this thread but, boy or girl?

Boy. So two boys it is.

Ha! Which part? The horse beater or the sentencing?

Flogging a dead horse is one thing but punching a live one is just asking for trouble.

Its one of those laws we have so we can point to it an show how sincere we are as a country...then, we drop bombs on brown people.

Black, brown, a dodgy shade of pink or even those with ginger hair - We all taste the same underneath.

Re: Police animals

Congrats!

Cheers.

Two is definitely where it's at. The oldest has now figured that if we can't be arsed getting them their supper (milk and biscuit before bed), he'll get for both him and the young'un, and we can carry on watching (Lost, House, 24, Caprica, etc...) undisturbed

That is my dream. Sounds idyllic. In fact maybe I can train the oldest to bring me milk and biscuits while I veg in front of the TV too.

You won't regret it...

Well at the moment I am up to my eyeballs in poo and puke so to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel is rather comforting.

The End Is Nigh......

Congratulations on the baby!

Cheers

I hope he decides to be a conservative omphalist when he grows up, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to have aggravatingly unproductive philosophical debates, and, each time you do, you'll think of me and our good ol' days on EvC, and get a major headache.

Cutting!!! Ouch!! But

Anyway in my dotage maybe I will be the conservative omphalist. Just for laughs.

That is, if it's still legal to torture and kill barley plants when your son's old enough to debate. For your sake, I hope the enlightenment is slow (and the aliens' ships are slower).

Barley. There won't be any barley. The end is nigh. The aliens are coming and we are all doomed.

It'll probably all lead to a pub somewhere.

I will be invariably leading somebody somewhere to a pub.

Re: Depraved indifference

I don't know how we could have a meaningful conversation about the morality of carnivory if we began with the premise the morality is subjective.

In this thread I don't think we need consider whether morality is objective or subjective. All we need do is consider whether it is derived from any rational basis and whether or not that rational basis is being applied consistently.
