What a load of crap. Cats are wild animals, here in the UK they have
the right to roam where they please, long may it remain so.

You never let us forget that you like having cats run over by cars.
In British-ese they refer to guys like you as a bit "thick", right?

Nobody likes having there cats run over by cars. The same as nobody
likes having their dogs run over by cars. In some parts of the UK it is
quite normal for sheep to roam along the side of the road and cross it.

I picked a cat up last year that had been run over and the owner was in
a lot of distress. I did not check to see if he had been castrated but
that is a big help to stop them roaming.

It is something that can be argued about all week but when cats decided
they were going to hang out with humans I doubt they were hoping to be
incarcerated. A lot of people would argue that it is cruel to keep them
indoors all the time.

The residential speed limit here is 25 mph. If people obeyed it, the
number of cats that are run down would drop to almost nothing. The reason
most cats are run down by cars is because of teenage-minded people who
drive their two ton SUV's at 40 mph plus in residential areas.


The "me" generation will drive anywhere anyway anytime they please, a
result
of over 40 years of liberal left politically correct thinking in America.



Well, I wouldn't blame speeding on the liberals, although their predilection
to make unenforceable laws breeds disrespect for the law, which does lead to
disobeying the rules of the road among other things........I prefer a
society with just a few well enforced laws.

Any country that has nothing better to do than catch cats to make sure
they have collars with one or more regulation bells on them deserves to
die a natural death and be taken over by some country whose management
has better things to do....GB is no exception.........


Think of all the employees on the government payroll that it takes to
enforce
such nonsense. Why do you think the elitist liberal Al Gore dreamed up
the Junk Science of "Global Warming"?

These are, "limousine liberals", like Barbara Streisand, Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie......They are always looking down on people who shop at
Wall-Mart. (They can afford to buy their veggies at Tiffanies) Or, as G.
Gordon Libby says, they want to save all the poor, downtrodden people of the
world using my money to do it with........I call them Robin-hooders. They
never saw a tax they didn't love, and they want to steal my money and give
it to the poor. They assume everyone who is rich got their money as easily
as they got theirs.....It never occurs to them that some of us worked and
saved for 40 years in order to get enough money to retire on..........And we
didn't get it by climbing up the backs of the poor.

Yeah.....He's big on science, but he's never heard of the, Paleocene-Eocene
thermal maximum, that occurred some 55 million years ago....(Long before
there were any human beings on the earth, much less driving automobiles)

actually that should be ******* not tosser's, the former is the plural

No worries Bookie, lol.
I am not ashamed about being illiterate for the better part of 30
years.
It wasn't my choosing & to be perfectly honest, I'm quite proud of
myself actually. I got over that hang up a Long time ago ;o)

I don't mind people explaining where I have made an error, especially
if they correct me with constructive criticism, & also explain where I
went wrong & why too.
We all make mistakes.. Me more than most.

Anyway, how am I supposed to learn if people like you don't point out
these errors to me including how & where I went wrong? It all helps.
if you go back to my first post on here & compare it with today's
measly offerings, I think that you will note a marked
difference..well, I think so, put it that way....
the grammar is still in dire need of acute attention- But I get by.

Thanx,
Sheelagh

Who said I like cats run over by cars..? I've had cats all my life (I'm
52) and none of them have ever been run over, hit or otherwise injured as
a result of being outdoors. It all depends where you live.

What I *don't* like is keeping a naturally outdoor animal a prisoner. But
we've had this "discussion" before.

Ivor

I.E. Yes, you are a bit thick. Thousands of cats are killed on England's
motorways yearly, but you don't seem to give a toss. I can't fathom how
keeping cats safe indoors is somehow against their better interests. Does
dementia run in your family?

This depends entirely on the nature of the area where you live....Keeping my
four cats indoors would be just as ridiculous as you seem to think keeping
them outside is in your area....You have to learn to put yourself in the
shoes of other people. Not everyone lives in as heavily populated and
traveled area as you seem to live. I live on a dead end street that is
backed up by a Christmas tree farm that is over 40 acres large. The chances
of any of my cats getting run down by cars is virtually nil. On the other
hand, I used to live in an apartment in downtown San Francisco. I didn't
have a cat then, but if I had, I would have kept it inside, (which is
probably why I didn't have one)

My cousin used to live on a grape farm. She and her husband were half owners
of Souverign winery. She kept four "working cats". Their job was to keep
birds away from the grapes. She didn't feed them, but only gave them water
to drink....They were lean and mean, too.......

I have never seen a cat on a motorway in my life, and I have spent a lot
of time driving on them.

They are too damn noisy for one thing.

Cats don't like motorways, but they sometimes have to cross them in order to
get where they are going....If the speed limit is 25 mph or less, the cats
seldom have any problem with this.....It's when the teenagers are doing 40
in a 25 zone that the problems occur. Cats can't conceive of anything that
goes that fast, and don't know how to avoid it......

believe me, we the british public also think this is a pile of crap so
it won't go through, you will probably find it is something to dow ith
the EU forcing some sort of unenforceable and pointless ruling onto
us, the EU is usually the cause of idiotic things like this



Americans should be paying attention, but we are not. The
North American Union (NAU) is just around the corner. NAU
is *not* Republican or Democrat. Political elites from both sides
of the political spectrum support forming the NAU. Bush and
Hillary both support formation of the NAU. It was common
Americans who recently fought down the latest immigration bill.
Political elites from *both* parties support amnesty for the
20 million (and growing) illegal Mexican immigrants now in the
United States. Formation of the NAU will make them all *legal*
citizens of the NAU overnight. Hablo Espanol?


3/4 of the American people don't want to give amnesty to the illegal
aliens....They want to build a wall on the border that keeps them out.
Letting them in is still against the law, and we don't want to change
that.....I think our leaders are finally getting that fact through their
thick heads. We don't want any new "softer" laws....We like the law we have
now, and we just want it enforced. There is a quota of aliens that we allow
to come here, and we just want the aliens to respect that number and come
here legally.

It isn't a British/American thing....It's a city/residential/rural
thing....There are some places where you just can't keep cats outside, and
other places where it would be foolish to keep them inside. (see my post
above)
