I used to find Mr Ferry very sexy in the seventies.
I have seen him on several occasions .... not literally of course..I do mean in concert.....But Roxy Music were brilliant....mind you he has always appeared to be a snob.....a lad from washington county durham...speaking with a posh accent...was never...shalll we say....authentic.
I know he was a school teacher...but nonetheless... If my memory serves me well, his dear old dad was a miner....Heaven knows where the posh accent came from...I guess he was always pretentious...how sad life is....Anyway he was 59 yesterday...14 years older than myself...so the chances are he'll go before me.
No thinking about it...probably not....Bye Mr Ferry...nice knowing you in the 70's!!

don't think it'll make any difference us telling him what we think the guy is obviousely a murdering cunt ,he knows what we think of him ,i hope both him and his son die slowly and painfully.
What a sad bunch you are! Get something serious in your life, and stop caring about foxes which are still going to be killed as the pests they are, just in a slightly different manner.

Amazing how all of the old traditions are just being chipped away at, really very sad. I applaud all Britons' efforts to preserve this longstanding and very British tradition in the face of the politically correct Left.
You lefties always seem to hate it when conservatives try to "preach" and "push" their moral values on you, so who are you to condemn them for their ancient and storied foxhunting? If you don't like it, then don't do it!!
And yet somehow to you, murdering a HUMAN foetus is somehow benign compared to hunting a FOX. Amazing, truly. And I'm a pro-choice advocate, too!!

What a stunningly brainless response. I'm quite happy to eat meat and not give a flying fuck about what insignificant animal died from whatever irrelevant method of slaughter. Meanwhile I am quite happy for you to whip yourself into a frenzy over the most inane and pathetic of topics. I always find that animal activists are those who have a complete abscence of interest or meaning in their lives, I assume you're much the same.
Incidently, if you're so digusted by fox hunting, why don't you turn your collective efforts to banning Halal and Kosher methods of slaughter? An equally brutal tradition, wouldn't you say? Yet something tells me you'll not be backing that campaign...

Humans are hypocrites, it's great.
Most vegetarians would have an abortion if need be. (not me)
I'm glad fox-hunting is being banned. If they are pests than they can be shot when they're caught killing the chickens, can't they.
> Humans are hypocrites, it's great.

Very true. But i guess it's not necessarily such a bad thing. It is hypocritical, but one could understand a person being revolted by a hamburger, and yet begging for an abortion if she got pregnant due to the very real prospect of a permanent, life-altering process of having and raising a child.
As a more-or-less conservative I despise abortion and believe it wrong, and yet i have to be in the pro-choice ranks because if my girlfriend ever got pregnant, there is just no way I would want us to have a child at this point in our lives.
Ideologies and beliefs are great things, but sometimes the picture looks a whole lot different when it actually happens to you.

That`s the whole point in my view too.Killing for fun is different than killing out of necessity.We can all argue about what is necessary of course, but as you rightly say we are all hypocrites really.
I dont support fox hunting yet I think that if foxes were attacking my chickens I would shoot first and ask moral questions later.
What, then, is the killing of all those chickens that people eat? What about fishing? How about chopping down a damn tree?
Do you swat a mosquito when it bites you? Really? Well isn't that "COLD BLODED MURDER (sic)" too?
I'll bet you didn't support the Iraq war, either. Which means, you were content to let Saddam continue on murdering tens of thousands of innocent lives. How is that not supporting murder?
Yes, I'm a little feisty But, it's 8:36am and I am *SO* not a morning person. Telecommuting is underrated :-D
Cheers,

you know what ,i honestly don't believe that you are really desagreeing with me i think you're trying to wind me up to get a reaction .well guess what ? you're not getting one.
ps:i too have just woke up from a nap in which i had some of the most disturbing nightmares ,so sorry if i sound grouchy.

Actually, i really truly was disagreeing with you, just not in a particularly well-thought-out way. Based on a few other threads around here we seem to reside on the opposite ends of the political and social spectra, not that there's anything wrong with that.
I really was just a grouch yesterday morning -- i just mornings with a passion. Wasn't trying to rile you up, although I occasionally lapse into the progressively-facetious-rhetorical-questions as a means of childishly illustrating a point, as I did up there.
I think more honestly I'm just very protective of Britain as she was prior to the 1960s, ie the Britain that springs to everyone's mind in a caricature. My family heritage is there, and I identify more with Britain than I do with my own United States. It just makes me very sad to see a longstanding tradition (even if it is violent against the creature in question) that had lasted for centuries and centuries, just all of a sudden get wiped out because a group of people are offended by it.
I don't know... I guess I just ask "where do you draw the line?", which is probably where my questions about abortion and chickens came from. It just makes me sad, that's all. If you outlaw it, it's pretty much never coming back, and another facet of old proud England will wither away only to become a faded memory in a new, unrecognisable multicultural politically correct wasteland.
Wow... so I guess i just went from touchy yesterday to melodramatic today. Can't seem to put forth a level, objective argument for the life of me, it seems :-)
Cheers to you,
J.T.

True, which is ostensibly a facet of foxhunting. Some would say foxhunting is purely a sport, and indeed it became one. But how does one differentiate between killing a fox after it has entered your chicken coop and killed 3 chickens, versus going foxhunting both as sport but also as a PREVENTATIVE measure to avoid the chickens getting killed in the first place.

Well for starters your chicken coop could be made as fox proof as possible and secondly if fox numbers genuinely need to be reduced then they could be culled in a licensed manner as humanely done as possible.
I know some would disagree with me on that ,yet that is my view,I only wish to remove the sport/fun aspect out of the killing.I know it is a tradition but so were public executions once.
The hunts could continue with a fox substitute so all the chase aspect would still be there and all the jobs retained, but not the killing at the end.That being done by approved people under the supervision of vets at a different time and place.

yes you are right ours views couldn't be more opposit if they tried ,but what the fuck has dressing up in stupid red uniforms and proceeding to murder a poor harmless animal got to do with tradition ,believe me i love england as much as you do maybe more ,and yes i also love the england from prior to the 60's even though i'm not 100% english ,this is my land and i'm ready to die for it ,but i will not back down on animal right issues .
that's all i have to say,thanks.
