About Me

Oh wow, onto my favourite topic.... ME. I'd write a few lies but Span has seen straight through me, so i'll save some embarrassment and stick to the truth. I actually like honesty, but there are few people i know (out of not very many) that i can be completely honest with, and they are true dear friends, the kinda people i can say what i like to... i can just relax with no inclination to be polite :)Well, obviously, first thing vegan! Yep, went vegan about seven years ago now, best idea i ever had. But not just an idea you philosophy morons. It's something i put into practise. I'm not a big fan of meat eaters or vegetarians, if i was being consistent i'd say i view speciesism on a par with racism, which is kinda interesting to my mind, as i sure as hell wouldn't live with racists, so why do i live with people that are happy to discriminate against other species?????So that little conundrum aside, i'll carry on mumbling a bit.... i generally like food and will travel distances to visit vegetarian and especially vegan restaurants. It is my good fortune to presently reside fairly near two places that do wholly vegan food. Lucky me. I get out to eat as much as i can, i also have the occasional pint of Sam Smiths beer, decent pint that, i tell thee.Well there's not really too much else interesting, ask me stuff...

Anarcho-primitivist

Quite interesting really, however, when does someone slag off the domestication of animals (pets, circus, farm animals especially) and then support the industries that are doing this? Crazy!OK they c...

Why the Research Defence Society are knob heads.

I never like to lower the tone to a good slagging, when there are plenty of very good reasons why the RDS is utter shite but this comment sums them up pretty well:’The Research Defence Society s...
