Absolutely no one is trying to make PETA "some sort of ultimate evil of animal cruelty." People are trying to make the general public aware that what PETA claims it stands for, and what it actually stands for and what it actually DOES, are vastly, vastly different things. You originally claimed that "everyone knows…
WTF! Average body size?
I absolutely accept that a number of animals are always going to have to put down. I do not accept that PETA's policy of routinely slaughtering animals and lying about it is okay because some (not all, SOME, as shown by the fact that even the highest-rate kill shelters in the country have significantly better…

Having driven a cab for years and written a weekly newspaper column about my adventures doing it, I am familiar with how the business works. The cab company is still legally responsible for what their drivers do. That is why the cab leases (for contractors) and kittys (for owners) are so expensive; they have to cover…
Even in India, the licensed cabs have GPS in them. So a regular cab driver would have been identified as well.
And as I said to someone else, if you called for a cab instead of hailing it because you aren't in a large city, just giving them the number you called from means they can look up the trip. And if you are in a large western city, the cab probably does have tracking on it, so just giving the pick up and destination…
You are simply WRONG. Almost all Indian cabs are REQUIRED by law to have GPS tracking devices. All cab companies (rickshaws don't qualify as cabs) are required to vet their drivers and submit their details to the police BEFORE they hire them. All cab companies keep constant track of their cabs through cell phone and…
As I have said elsewhere, you can still complain the way people did before such things existed, by noting the number on the cab, which is painted in several different locations. And the driver's hack license is (or should be) prominently displayed, and it is designed to be large enough to be read from the back seat.…
Cabs have mobile data terminals and GPS in them these days. You can easily complain to their dispatch, especially if you get the cab number, and they will know which driver it was. You can roll your eyes and say they won't care, but I drove a cab for years, and it simply isn't true. And unlike Uber, cab companies are…
Hey New Zealand terrible "Christians" are America's turf you best back-off Hobbit-land.
The point is that a licensed, regulated cab company will accept liability for things their drivers do. Uber's whole thing is that they put all the risk on to the consumer by not doing that.
I'm getting ready to have a night on the town! My once a year blow out!!
I watched part of the interview. I really never thought Bush was a bad guy- a bad president, but I think he was always well intentioned. He just should have done something other than go into politics.
I think that was probably part of the reason they skipped talking about Hole. If they mentioned the band they would have to invite Courtney Love to talk. Even if Dave Grohl and Courtney Love are no longer mortal enemies, as a producer it is his right to decide he didn't want to deal with the trouble and general…
You know if he had so much as mentioned her or Hole there's a 50% chance that the next day she'd file suit for half the profits of both the series and the album.
sometimes i forget if narwhals are real or fictional, and then i google to check and i'm just SO STOKED every time i re-find out they're real.
