Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 http://www.iea.org.uk/files/upld-book17pdf?.pdf Haven't got time to read it right now but could be interesting and enlightening. There are some very very interesting points here that should be compulsory reading for all of us; and it is written in an easy to read manner.

Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It's all summed up eloquently in the Forward: Quote: As Richard North demonstrates, the arguments against the fur trade are entirely spurious, and would, if valid, rule out the trades in beef, pork, poultry, eggs and leather, not to speak of cat-gut and neat's foot oil. The decision that a trade should be criminalised, without any proof of its immorality or any suggestion that it is socially divisive or environmentally destructive, and only because a pressure group has said so, is a novel departure in English government. That the decision should come at a time when Parliament has become ostentatiously permissive in all matters pertaining to traditional morality, suggests that we are passing through a period of unusual hypocrisy, in which morality has become a matter of fashionable posturing rather than a submission to conscience.

Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 yes correct. It is what I am always saying it is inately wrong to criticise others on grounds of morality when this morality is clearly not shared by a huge minority of people. The sanme argument applies to hunting or smoking. With the latter, as long as the non smokers rights are also catered for by complete segregation in restaurants etc then why is it a morality issue? Hah maybe we could have fur zones and fur free zones on the same lines in every bar restaurant etc to keep everyone happy! And keep the PETA morons away from our beautiful women lol!

Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Wonder if this is the same Richard North; http://www.socialaffairsunit.org.uk/blog/archives/000852.php http://www.pighealth.com/agriculture.htm http://www.richarddnorth.com/journalism/power/congress.htm http://www.richarddnorth.com/journalism/animals_morals/animals.htm http://www.socialaffairsunit.org.uk/blog/archives/000818.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubby Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Here's the real Richard North. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvruZEkoDNU Chubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 There you go again Touch. Shotgunning the topic. Check on the fur subject. Check on the hunting subject. Smoking subject sends you to the corner with your Dunce Cap again [with repeated PeTA messeges built in]. The General Fur Den Site has been declared a smoke free zone [if only by the owner] There is a designated Smoking Room and Gallery Album which have 3500 CFM fans installed to keep the rest of us smoke free. [pwerful enough to suck the hair of your Silver Fox] Go to your room and excercise your freedom to smoke yourself to wherever. Itwascreated expressly for you and a few others.

Guest Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 yes okay no problem...I just wanted to make the suggestion ....in jest....that we have fur areas and non fur ares rather like smoking and non smoking areas lol! On the Richard North thing, there appear to be two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
