its just a philosophical thing i get annoyed about because people dont want to think it through and i was there once myself making jokes about Morrisey’s lyrics on ‘meat is murder’ , making me hungry…

naturally you are defensive when faced with such condemnation but there is no argument that meat is not violent even if someone else is paid to do the killin, and by extrapolation, greedy and immoral.

it would be good if hemp could actually line up against its competition without all th noxious prohibition baggage it is tied to. Henry ford built a car out of it around 1940, so how much better ought technology to be now with non fossil-fuel plastics etc???

I for one would like to be able to grow it for the seed because it is badly missing from my diet - and it is all because of a stupid and corrupt war on drugs that the Greens wont advocate against. that really gets my goat a bit too in case u havent noticed

eg i dont like the purportedly holistic view on youth crime problem that neglects to factor in criminalisation (not sure what happend to my post on the boot-camp thread, frog?).

greens as dumb as Clark and Key - or just as intellectually dishonest?

Sorry, weedeater, silly joke it was. I think your somewhat intolerant comment “Meat eating is immoral and greedy and voilent (sic)” sparked it.

By the way, don’t you think your statements that being offensive is a way of life for meat eaters, and that I don’t have feelings, are a trifle offensive?

I’ve nothing against hemp production, just the tendency of some to see it as a magic cure for economic and environmental ills. I think you’ll find hemp isn’t as great for the environment as its advocates claim.

(and local..!..)

y’know..!

..streaming vid of the cowshit pouring into/polluting our waterways (every day) could be quite an effective agit-prop tool..

bring the realities of what we are doing to our country to peoples computer screens..

in the interests of accuracy in reporting, I must point out that Nauru is not totally denuded, only about 90%.

If you have a look at Google Earth (lat=-0.536305435595, lon=166.927775593) you can see that there is a green and leafy area with some well spaced out housing around a lake in the south of the island that has been left alone while the rest of the island was mined … clearly this is the enclave where the people who got rich selling the guano live.

According to the CIA World Factbook: … intensive phosphate mining during the past 90 years - mainly by a UK, Australia, and NZ consortium - has left the central 90% of Nauru a wasteland and threatens limited remaining land resources.

if anyone else has some Google Earth locations of environmental devastation I’d love to hear them.

Gonna make a joke about killing a cabbage or slicing up a potato next?

then you ridicule hemp production as if its for peasants. the swiss grow it and dont have any stupid thc restriction (buying into prohibition ‘common sense’) such as the model Nandor and co brought into nz.

“shine on..!..you crazy carnivore..!..”

eh..?

are you attempting to set a new benchmark in shortsightedness..?

Good news on hemp production - now we can enjoy the prosperity and environmental sustainability of the other leading hemp producers - China and North Korea.
