Ayame, I think you may have me confused with another topic.
I just wrote about my indifference to pets and that I don't subscribe to them.
If they are a working animal, it must not be considered a pet, like a " blind dog".
I have no idea as to why I would want or not want to force my daughter to marry someone she hates.
But, not having the slightest idea of the topic you are discussing, let me say this.
Most kings of old took foreign women as their queen, without ever having laid eyes on them before.
Evidence has it that for the most part, they lived happy lives, and collaborated in producing heirs and off-spring.
I would say that the act of sex is the highest indication of a woman accepting a man.
That's not to say that I'm sure some liaisons were more like rape, which is also customary for the day/times.
Anyway, I deflect, as this has nothing to do with the heading, I am simply being courteous, in responding and advising accordingly

Altrav, wouldn't it make more sense to send a few dozen hunters or release a virus to kill unwanted kangaroos?

It worked wonders for getting rid of rabbits in Australia.

Ayame, er, yeh, OK?
Sure, why not?
My position is that I have no sentimental attachment to just another animal, cute or not, I'm told how cute they are.
What the hell that's got to do with anything is beyond me.
I'll tell these stupid animal liberationists, that they are beyond help, just like their charges are in a massive bush-fire.
I have a message for all.
THAT'S LIFE!
In the Aussie bush.

For all you Climate Change Cultists, it seems that even the Task force on the California fires over the last three years. I haven't tracked down a copy of the report as yet, but media reports state that:

"Climate change played a minor role in the wildfires that devastated California in the past three years, a panel of experts said yesterday, blaming most of the damage on land management and development."

and quote comments of members at a Conference yesterday who state that:.

"Both Montgomery and Stephens advocated thinning California's forests, either through prescribed burns or manual clearing. They spoke yesterday at the annual conference of the National Council for Science and the Environment".

Sounds consistent to what the author of this article has suggested, and confirms the feelings of those comments made by many on OLO.

ALTRAV - "That's life." Hmmm. Slavery "was life" for many during the trans-atlantic slave trade. The status quo isn't always the best situation.

Alison: who paid for those studies? Did they recommend any other solutions?

Ayame, right again, but never-the-less, "that's life", because that is what happened and that was life at that time, not saying it was right, well not by today's standards, it was right by the standards of the day, until it became "not right".
We must never judge the past by our standards today.
We MAY be better people, morally, ethically, who knows?
I know if you ask someone today you will get a very quick affirmation of us being better than our forebears.
As time moves on so does society, and not always for the better, but for convenience and comfort.
That's why I am disgusted at the ME TOO movement having pushed all these soft cock ministers and govts to go after people who allegedly did something wrong to maggots so far back that it is laughable.
My point is, what they are alleged to have done, and mind you this is all on the word of some mindless maggot, a lifetime ago, was at a time when such allegations were not treated as a big deal, and that's why they were not dealt with at the time.
These maggots and their supporters are amongst some of the sickest people on earth.
Taking a pragmatic and objective look at what was alleged, tells us that no-one suffered any physical abuse.
No one suffered any grievous bodily harm.
In other words, all that happened is they got groped or touched up.
BIG DEAL!
The maggots are more the bastards here than the accused.
Those, especially those in power that went along with this egregious farce, should ALL be locked up themselves.
So by these mongrels standards, anyone alive today that erred decades ago when it was the norm, should be charged today under current day laws.
Idiots, fools, morons, mental deficients, the lot of them who went along with this disgusting witch hunt, all just to satisfy the ego's of some slutty, spoilt, mindless, poser, maggots.
Ayame, based on the social slutty standards of today's maggots, can we expect guys to be charged with rape in 50 years time?
