Here we go again another newbie starts a thread. Someone says keep
your cats in or out and this BS debate of inside or out starts again.
And all of you jump on the band wagon it is getting pretty pathetic
that you all do this. And now with the cross posting it gets even
worse.

Would you all get over it People over seas have a different view point
you will never change it. People here have a different view point you
will never change it. You can't debate or even discuss it rational as
past threads and this one have proven time and time again. You all
ended up acting like how do the British say it a bunch of *******.

Don't get me wrong here mate but the post was about a guy wasting his
time with a petition that cats should be made to wear bells. If people
want to rack on about cats being kept in or out that is not of
consequence to me and is not done on my account. :-)

Actually I need to apologize to you. I didn't mean it was you it was
meant in general. My apologies.

This yell feast just happened two weeks ago than less than a month before
that. It always starts from a newbie ( not you but in general ), it gets
cross posted and the bandwagon starts. Some how it starts someone says
in, someone says out. Than the control freaks; the ones that have to be
right and just want to argue no matter what. The ones that need
medication and the trolls come out beyond belief.

It tears the group up. This topic is just as bad as the declawing issue
if not worse. You can always tell hen school is out for the summer.

So I hope you accept the apology




If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen......

If you don't like the program, change the channel.....

Then again, maybe you just like to whine, and whine, and whine.......

Sounds like *you* are the control freak? The beauty of Usenet is the
free-wheeling discussions and comments, no matter how bad or how
off topic........... If you want controlled discussions, go to a
moderated
forum or go live in Cuba with Michael Moore & Fidel.....

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......

I think we may use the same word for a different meaning as is common with
the English spoken in the UK and in America.

Our motorways are similar to a freeway or turnpike. The maximum speed
limit is 70mph though many go faster and the slowest anyone goes is about
50mph which is considered way to slow.

The cat must have some important business if it wants to go across there.
I tried once in the evening and it was hard work. :-)

Yes....If I lived less than a quarter mile or so from such a road, I
wouldn't own any cats....When I retired and moved up here to Oregon, I was
careful to pick a house that was, "feline friendly", so my cats are
reasonably safe wandering around the neighborhood....It is full of children
and old people who like animals. But that's why I am annoyed at people who
don't observe the 25 mph residential speed limit........

And, it's a simple choice....I have one cat who loves them, and another who
can't stand them....So, I remove the bells from BK'd collar, and put them on
Junie's collar.....IOW, I let the cats decide. (after all, they decide
almost everything else)

Nope, what they have in mind is fitting a "black box"
to every car, tracking when and where it goes and
charging per mile, at varying rates (depending on type
of road/time of day etc...) and billing you. A few
pence a mile for smaller roads at off-peak times,
rising to (I've heard) £1.34 (something over $2) per
mile on motorways at peak times. Leaving aside the whole Big Brother
aspect of having
all your movements tracked, if they bring that in at
those sort of prices, there'll be plenty of people that
wouldn't be able to afford to go to work, even if they
wanted to (me included).

Taxes on gasoline do the same thing, and much more
easily....Besides, they encourage driving vehicles that
get better mileage, too......The smaller and lighter and
more efficient your vehicle, the less you have to pay,
and this is as it should be, because the less wear and
tear on the roads, and the less pollution you emit into
the air, too. Why mess with a system as good as this?
Here in the US, people are still driving their huge SUV's
around, but then gasoline is still very cheap. It was 20 cents a
gallon back in 1950, and now, some 50 years later, when
it should be over $5.00 a gallon, it is still only $3.00
a gallon....So, people are complaining about
nothing........

Come over here to the UK, it *is* over $5 a gallon, *well* over. Plus we
get taxed twice over; once on fuel (current levels approaching
£1.00/litre) and once more on "road tax" discs of up to £160/year
(depending on emission levels). Now they want to tax us yet again per
mile driven.

(Anyone who thinks that after they've imposed road pricing they'll remove
either or both of the other taxes is sadly misguided...)

Yes....That's because GB is basically a socialist state....Be thankful
that the government doesn't take all of your money away and dribble back
the food, clothing, and housing that they think you should have.....It
seems that Robin Hood has become the national norm....
Not that I am gloating, or anything like that...We are fast becoming
the same....Hillary would nationalize all the doctors and other health
personnel and make it a state owned and run industry....Then you will be
able to choose any doctor you want as long as his name is, "---- ----",
and go to any hospital you want as long as it's "Hillary General".....:^)

Worse yet, Hillary learned from her mistakes 14 years ago, when she
failed to impose Hillary-Care on the country. This time around it will
be much more difficult to derail her plans for socialized medicine in
America. When the hell is Fred Thompson going to throw his hat in
the ring? Better yet, American needs Zell Miller to come down out
of the north Georgia mountains and quit fishing his last days away.
America needs the old Georgia marine to fight one more battle for his
country.

"If you don't give our boys the equipment and support they
need to fight, what do you expect for them to do, throw spitballs at
the enemy"? - U.S. Senator Zell Miller's reply to the
neo-liberal leftists of CNN when they questioned the military
budget.- Hide quoted text -

I have to say that I really don't like hillary clinton and I am glad
that she is over there with you and not over here in england and on
our tv constantly. Nothing to do with her politics or anything like
that it is just that she is an absolute minger, surpassed only by her
even uglier daughter in utter vileness. why does she always have an
expression on her face as though she is being electrocuted or possibly
even taken up the arse from behind?

she is probably a very lovely woman, a wonderful mother and a highly
intelligent member of society but she is just so ****ing ugly, thats
all.

and before anyone has a go about this, remember that we in britain
have also suffered; margaret beckett, we know your pain

I always have this love-hate relationship with the Democratic candidates
just before the election.....I am a devout Republican, so I would choose
almost any Republican over any Democrat. So, I don't know whether to route
for the worst democrat I can find, hoping they will get their parties
nomination, and then be soundly trounced by the Republican in the general
election, or route for the best person in both parties, hoping to maximize
my chances of getting a reasonable president regardless of which party
wins......In the past, I have even been known to register Democratic, just
so I could vote for their least likely to win candidate in the primaries,
thereby giving my real choice (the Republican) a better chance of winning in
the general election.
