On a more serious note - countries like India wasting money sending probes to Mars when they have far more important issues on their doorstep.

 

We send them aid money don't we? :unsure:

$45million divided by 1.2 billion people, what's that about 4 cents each? Compare that to hundreds of high skilled jobs , a share of the satellite market and the boost in national pride, money well spent if you ask me.

I cannot somehow see moose throwing his house door open and allowing the less fortunate to dine with him over Christmas.

 

The travellers i know would find that offensive! just because they are travellers doesn't mean they are less fortunate than others, some of them do very well for themselves.

Pointless though isn't it, they have so many slums ,people and at the rate they breed no amount of money will turn them into a rich nation for all.

 

It's about getting one over on China really.

So why do we give them aid money?

How come MattP can give out  20 rep points a day and I run out after about 4?

 

Think it goes on a rolling time period as sometimes I click on and can't give one having not been on all day but on Monday/Tuesday when I've usually been off the forum for 2/3 days I can give loads out.

I don't actually blame the poachers much for this - if you're desperate for any kind of money shooting an animal must not seem that bad. The real guilty parties are the uneducated rich Chinese/Arab/Indian/Vietnamese etc pricks who want an ivory handled knife to show off to their mates or for some reason think Viagra isn't good enough, despite powdered rhino horn actually doing fvck all as an aphrodisiac.

 

We should fvcking stick them in an enclosure and hunt them. Boils my blood every time I see it - senseless, stupid death to fuel some utter tossers vanity.

Heartbreaking, how can humanity destroy something so beautiful?

 

I know you won't agree with this but their were comments from a Kenyan politician the other week and he said only way you will stop this is by shooting poachers on sight. It happened in Rhodesia in the 1970's and it pretty came to a halt, it it takes that to stop it then I don't give a shit. Why should people who commit these acts be treated with such respect?

People who protest for the sake of it. And Russell Brand seems to actually be the leader of this rabble now.

 

http://news.sky.com/story/1164618/anonymous-protest-russell-brand-joins-march

 

What a warrior this guy is, I mean he should be everybodys hero. Cnut.

 

Some of those involved in the march were seen ripping barriers from the side of the road.

Sean Roesner, 21, a self-employed computer programmer at the protest, said: "We turned up and the protest was at Buckingham Palace. When we arrived people were firing fireworks at the palace.

"It was funny. I didn't have any but I would have fired some if I had.

"I joined Anonymous because I was arrested under the Computer Misuse Act. I spent eight months on police bail last year and had done nothing wrong.

"We are here to stand up for what we believe in, to make the world a better place."

 

lol lol It would be funny if these people weren't actually serious.
