The sooner the better, thank you. You'll all be doing me a favour. THIS: Last Words: This discussion was already dying on its short legs early on and it would have ended in nothing until that guy jumped in provocation accusing us of "amazing ignorance" and adding a jibe about "no asado...

Fancy being told how to behave by a poacher Pathetic

Everyone knows the only way to survive in Palermo Hollywood is eating the wildlife you hunt. Oh sorry, I forgot: you get your pleasure inflicting death. I guess I am not educated enough. Nice of you to include your photograph BTW, it's good to see your dad is likely to be also your grandpa.

Like I said, "Legal" and "Good", not the same. As an aside, it being legal is what all hunters say to defend themselves when global outrage reaches them after a particularly nasty deed. That's what happened with that vile US dentist who beheaded the protected collar-wearing lion luring him out...

Tilda, thank you for you politeness and your carefully written thoughts. Just a couple of points that go to the heart of all this. 1- Prostitution is legal in this country, just as much as hunting is. You can find it morally abhorrent or not (that debate is sort-of raging next door in this...

I wonder whether that is actually true, or just a fabrication put out and circulated by those involved in the hunting tourism industry to attract punters and increase their revenues. Do you (as community) actually make any money thanks to that kind of tourism? I reckon all extra revenue...

Hunting pigeons is just about the same as hunting stags and other "trophy" rare species, huh? Nobody said hunting pigeons is bad for the environment. Quite another matter is "explaining" that hunting stags (or pumas, or bears, lions, rhinos etc) is helping the environment because the blood...

You kill animals for pleasure. Bloodlust, not hunger. Yes or no? "The ignorance in this thread is amazing" you say? I can accuse you of a few things too, and I can start right away if that's what you're after. Talk about ignorance. Know yourself first, killer. So you want to bring...

PS I have nothing against hunting as long as the hunter goes naked and only carrying the weapons nature gave him: his bare hands. Go ahead and kill stags, bears, tigers and lions mano a mano naked and unarmed, like the animals are: That would make an enjoyable show.

This isn't about "hunting something and eat it", this is about "hunting tourism" and killing wildlife to get yer jollies. The more majestic and "exotic" the kill, the better it is, no? And needing to do it in foreign countries too, how respectful and considerate. Nothing to do with "procuring...

Fancy way of visiting a foreign country, going there to kill its wildlife. Stay away. To Pete & Ron: I hope nobody helps you or your relatives. Tell them to stay home and "have fun" killing creatures in their own backyard. Some way to have fun, being a killer. Getting pleasure by taking a...

Well said, and my point, but written in better English than mine. When I said "derogative" remarks, I meant derogatory. In other words: insulting, offensive, etc.

So Argentines are a race now? Well I guess that makes this discussion a pretty racist one… What with what's been said, at least in some of the last few entries. I can play that game too. Shall I start spouting derogative remarks about your home nations tarring everybody with the same brush...

Last I heard you were complaining about feeling "insulted, made fun of and trolled around" Double standards much? Things being "pretty aggressive", "very harsh" over here, you're pretty good at it yourself. Pots and kettles calling each other black

A couple of weeks ago I saw (and bought) a bottle of Beefeater's priced about equal as in the UK. I don't remember the amount in Ar$ but I did check online and buying it in Sainsbury's would have cost roughly the same. How do you rate Beefeater's, Glasgow J?

What lifestyle will your money buy? The same city can be heaven or hell depending on the size of your wealth. Not just BA: any city. How much you've got in the bank and the size of your annuity, as a retired person, or how much you earn yearly from any income, local or international, that's the...

Yes, one question: Why would anybody want to use long johns and wool blankets in 23°C (or 20°, 24°, etc) like we've been having for the last few days in this never-ending springtime of a winter?

Thank you Personally I don't believe BMI or age issues have anything to do with it at all, sound like you're off the wrong track. I keep seeing and hearing youngish and robust healthy looking people overdress & complain about the cold. To me it's about acclimatisation and getting slowly and...

Serafina: In your original query about home heating, you received a serious, helpful and comprehensive reply written by someone who knows about the matter, and you took it as if you had been personally attacked. There was a degree of being argumentative coming from your side in your replies...

Serafina: The very cold days mentioned in La Nación's article were a small handful of scattered days dotting an otherwise freakishly warm winter, after a very warm autumn. Average temperatures such as the ones mentioned in the article, result from "blending" all the numbers together. 2 or 3...
