    It just seems a bit wrong to knock down a million pound house when people are living in shop doorways.

    I'm not a socialist but I can see why someone that buys their neighbours house for a million quid so they can knock it down to extend their garden would P1ss people off....

    some people should just be locked up and left to rot. I bet the guy that done it has a string of convictions.

    Dress a mate up as a gimp and leave him padlocked to a chair in your lock up. If someone does break in they won't stay long and won't come back. Failing that CCTV seems good.

    OK, it looks a bit p1sh now, but in five years time the neighbouring trees will have grown a bit and start hiding the dead trees. Are people still going to be complaining when woodpeckers etc start nesting in the trees? Surely the landowner must have known what SNH were going to do?

    0.02 of an acre? About 900 square feet? Unless you own adjacent land I would say it's worthless.

    what will you do with the timber? tbh, I don't see 20 year old spruce being worth much...

    Well it looks like most of us are too brainwashed by the media for some of the posters here to debate their ideas Or perhaps they know deep down that their ideas are complete garbish?
  9. matelot
    How about the hundreds of people that will read your posts though? If your thoughts are good they might come round to your way of thinking?

    "The biggest influence in everyone's life is the media"? Really? It's not your parents? School? Mates? Life experiences? Kids? If you think Israelis are a bunch of d1cks you should say why. fyi I've met a lot of people that don't like Israelis.

    And how are minorities treated in neighbouring countries? I bet they're treated a lot worse than Muslims in Israel? No one is saying Israel is perfect, but a lot of the neighbouring countries seem like hell on earth....

    Using cattle to control bracken is suggested by quite a few organisations like the RSPB and Defra: "Winter-feeding can be used to attract livestock on to the site so that, 1) bracken buds and developing fronds which are close to the surface or just emerged are damaged by stock treading (cattle are more effective than sheep) and 2) the litter is disturbed and broken up (this also encourages frost penetration to the rhizomes." What do you think spraying Asulox onto bracken does for "chemical residues" in meat produced in nearby farms?

    My understanding is that the cows get hungry and roam the field looking for grass. Their hooves trample the bracken - they don't eat it. Do cows get cancer? I'd imagine most beef cows would be slaughtered after a few years (too young to get cancer?)

    I do think Israel "stole" Palestine from the Palestinians. However Israel seems to be a beacon for democracy and respect for minorities in the region. Something like 17% of Israelis are Muslim... If Israel was given back to the Palestinians what are the chances it would descend into another failed Middle Eastern country?

    Have you considered heavy grazing? I understand if you graze it hard with cows the cow's hooves trample the bracken down.

    A group or Muslim extremists attack a village and kill 100 muslims. Yet people think NATO troops are the bad guys? Perhaps the extremists that attacked this village were actually NATO troops disguised as Boko Haram soldiers?
  17. matelot
    Well the point that some are making on this thread is "they only attack us because we attacked them first". But since the homosexual community never attached Islam it shows that argument isn't very strong. No matter what the west does regarding Islam we will be continually attacked.
  18. matelot
    What else does the west do though? Leave the Taliban alone so they can provide sanctuary to the likes of Osama Bin Laden? Was that French man beheaded because of a missile strike in Afghanistan? Did that Tunisian kill 38 people because of something that happened in a different continent?
  19. matelot
    So are homosexuals killed by the Taliban or not? Was that schoolgirl shot by the Taliban? Perhaps you hate homosexuals and don't really care if they are killed?
  20. matelot
    Wow! With arguments like that I'm really coming round to your way of thinking. It's rare for me to feel intellectually outclassed, but this might be one such occasion. Perhaps you could show the "sheeple" that the western media is wrong about ISIS and go to Syria and show that they are the good guys? I can't help thinking your profile cartoon is very apt....
  21. matelot
    Do the Taliban kill homosexuals or not? If homosexual killing is something the western media have made up to discredit the Taliban why do the taliban not deny it? How about that schoolgirl that was shot by the Taliban for going to school? Was she really shot? Maybe we should have another poll A. She is actually a robot made by the CIA. B. It's all CGI and there is no girl. C. She wasn't actually shot and it was just a paper cut. D. It serves her right, she doesn't need an education to cook and clean.
  22. matelot
    Yeah, perhaps the Taliban are the good guys really. It must be bliss living in a society where music is banned but you can still go and watch homosexuals be killed. Perhaps we could have a poll us to the best way to kill homosexuals? A. stoning B. Thrown from tall building C. having a wall pushed on them. Perhaps the independent journalists from the website you quote could go to Syria and tell us what it's like there? They must be amazing journalists if they can get top secret information like the Americans intend to nuke Yemen. I'm also amazed they found out that it was America that planned the recent terrorist attack in Tunisia.

    A bit bigger than that! More like a 3C Maglite.

    David, All sailors are as hetero as they come! Just ask the prozzies in the York Hotel in Dubai! In all honesty though the gym was brilliant last night, I looked like I had a Maglite in my pocket.

    I went last night (not been in ages) and it was brilliant. It was like being in a lapdancers with fit birds wearing very little.
