Comment on Attack of the Killer Wombat by Mark

Personally I would do everything in my power to protect wildlife, but if I thought I was in mortal danger from wildlife I would do everything in my power to protect myself, including killing said wildlife. The killing option is not something I would take lightly.

Of course it’s bloody illegal! Rampaging or not they are protected. Frankly I think they should rise up and rampage collectively

Yeah. I came roaring around a bend and there it was in the middle of the road. Fortunately I was able to go around it and stop. Unfortunately I got too close before I got a good shot (that’s what zoom is for, idiot) and it scuttled off into the bush.

Comment on ‘Racist’ biscuit pulled from shelves by Fabuladico

I suppose all of the “Creole Spices” and “Creole Seasoning” should be considered racist and pulled from the shelves, too? I would really hate to see all of the wonderful Creole food from that time period disappear from the menus and tables of Americans. People should embrace their ancestry, then learn from the mistakes of the past in order to not repeat them in the present or the future. This sort of political correctness for the sake of political correctness or somebody’s ego just has to stop. I am more Native American than anything else, yet that side of my family’s history was hidden from our generation due to the stigma of being a Native American during the lifetime of the two generations before mine. That is a crying shame and so are attempts to remove the word “Creole” from store shelves or our language. Just buy the damn cookies and enjoy them with a glass of milk!

Comment on Man arrested in Dubai for swearing at a policeman – has passport confiscated by Mark

D’oh! Thanks for pointing that out. How embarrassing. I’m assuming a bribe still would have worked .

As a side note, apparently the guy is still there awaiting trial.

“Good grief. Maybe he should have tried a bribe. That normally works in countries as corrupt as Saudi Arabia.”

Uh, except Dubai is not in Saudi Arabia. It’s in the United Arab Emirates, a completely different country; much smaller and much more cosmopolitan. (That said, I have to add that I have no personal knowledge of corruption or lack of it in either country.)
