Fire fox just crashed and took my lengthy explanation with it.
Capitalism is Amoral, you people seem to not be able to read a friggin dictionary.
moral
of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.
immoral
violating moral principles; not conforming to the patterns of conduct usually accepted or established as consistent with principles of personal and social ethics
amoral
having no moral standards, restraints, or principles; unaware of or indifferent to questions of right or wrong: a completely amoral person
Capitalism is AMORAL, and to cap it all it is applied and policed by the immoral.
Also how does growing even more food in a culture where we bin enough to feed everyone to popping amke anything better or high light the waste?
Doens't this just mean MORE STUFF BEING GROWN WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN WE NEEED.
Good god you US Americans are a greedy avariscious lot.
That U of H story of them being penalised is disgraceful.
So every trace of indigenous culture must be ground down for Big Mac homogeneous USA?
Makes a little bit more of our souls die back.

On another point I would say that when it comes to hard ball sports it is a dead heat between Rugby (League and Union), but Aussie Rules Football beats em by a short nose.
Footie, as it's known in Oz, is the game with the longest match length, the largest pitch, the highest jumping the hardest tackling game on the Planet.
They only introduced rules about bleeding during the late 80's, and then only as a silly safe guard against AIDS.
The Dipper, Robert DiPierdomenico, played the last 2 quarters of the Grand Final in 1989 against Geelong, with several broken ribs and a PUNCTURED LUNG!
They are, with the exception of Tony Liberatore, very tall, run the equivalent of a marathon each game and move a mountain with every tackle.
I saw this on fark, where some of the USA Americans were very keen to call the Haka faggoty and gay....from several thousand miles away and in complete anonymity.
Not a bloody one of them would have said word ONE to any Maori, Fijian or other Pacific Islanders.
there's a degree of being wilfully myopic in most of the posts here.
The amount of food thrown away each day is appalling, so rather than prove a point that this "waste" can feed many, the freegans should go in and buy what is about to be thrown out?
I am about to knock 50% off the cost of a car, do you A Run in and buy one before the reduction or wait patiently for a fat saving?
Capitalism is amoral, the only reflex it has is to feed the share holders, who are like baby birds, blind, voracious and indiscriminant.
Also as for the hygiene aspect, most everything in the world is edible if properly cleaned.
Potato grows in dirt, the dirt is fertilised with shit.
The best tomato I ever tasted grew in a friend of mine's own shit.
Literally he ate a tomato,took a shit in his outhouse toilet, moved the toilet next week and in the summer the plot was teeming with the best Toms I have evr tasted.
Where the f*ck did you think vegetables come from?
The Islands sit slap bang in the middle of the north sea, right between Scotland ad Norway.
And used to belong to Norway, so a ceremonial Viking Funeral and fire throwing seem frankly a bit tame when they could have gone for sacrifice and doing the blood eagle on their enemies.
What on earth?
And as for the blatantly racist irish bashing up thread here...really?
You really think the irish are behind this?
Alos it is lose not loose.
Not really, the haight ashbury psychedelic posters of the period are visually way more complex yet are perfectly legible.
This is significantly less complex but thoroughly illegible.
The letters obey no internal logic, resulting in a fractured assemblage and no legibility.
basically it is Crown Green Bowling on ice.
If you come from a very hilly place the ice on a loch (lake if you like) tends to be the only naturally occurring flat area.
I'm a Scot and we learned curling at school in gym class.
I was not a fan as a kid but as with CGB you begin to see the appeal as you get a bit longer in the tooth.
I now live in Australia and would love to go curling, if for the chilly atmosphere if nothing else.

Oh did I mention no armour?
Anyway, check it out.
Not a bloody one of them would have said word ONE to any Maori, Fijian or other Pacific Islanders.
Hardest basstards on the planet in my book.
I'm Scottish so it struck me as funny.

A working link.
Grrrr
Genetics is not interested in the latest name for Black citizens of the USA.
See Africans aren't African Americans, they are....yeah you got it...Africans.
Not absolutely everything in the world revolves around the USA you know.
The Islands sit slap bang in the middle of the north sea, right between Scotland ad Norway.

I particularly like the chicken and the cow.
