The blame for all this lies squarely at the feet of the Supreme Court and Merrick Garland.

The court because they have given Trump carte blanche to act however he wants and Garland for being a pussy who had every opportunity to imprison him and didn’t.

So all three major religions want to make the lives of women more difficult.

Who’d have thought.

A lot of those clauses depend on the EU, UK and USA doing things like offering security guarantees and entry into the EU…

Have these been agreed???

I will pay to avoid inconvenience. I work a stressful job, I won’t sacrifice what little free time I have to do things like decorating.

Oh look, freedom of speech wins in the UK.

Where are all the right wing free speech dickheads now?

Oh yeah, the “perpetrator” is black and the “victim” is Jewish

Aww we don’t want him back.

Send him to America, maybe Florida. He’d be in good company.

Depends on the method.

I know what you’re trying to do mate.

If it turned out that insects felt pain and we were killing them off in the most brutal way possible for no reason then I wouldn’t be happy about it.

But they don’t, and we aren’t.

Tell me this. Knowing that lobsters feel pain, that there are humane methods of killing them that are quick and don’t involve them slowly being boiled alive and don’t make any fucking difference to what comes next, why exactly are you trying to defend the practice by painting those of us who don’t agree with it out to be hypocrites?

Seriously, do you WANT them to suffer? Or are you just being contrarian for the sake of argument.

Aww you got me.

Nothing i like more than gathering up an entire ants nest and forcing them to watch as I torture the queen by sticking pins into her.

Then when she finally does croak it, I force the other ants into a battle royale.

When there’s one survivor, I crown him king ant. Then boil him alive and serve him with butter.

This is why all performative shit right wing influences and reform politicians is doing is just utter nonsense.

Lobsters aren’t bugs

Humans and other mammals release cortisol as part of the pain response.

So do lobsters.

They feel pain when they are boiled alive.

That alone should be enough information for a sane person to think “huh, if they feel pain maybe I should put in a small amount of effort to make sure they don’t suffer when I kill them” instead of trying to justify why it’s ok and use thinly veiled insults aimed at those of us who don’t think animals suffering from avoidable pain is acceptable.

Disregarding the pain of something just because it doesnt have a cute face or fur is far more evidence of mental illness tbh.

Democrats will come up with some shit like “we have to be better than this” and abstain.

“The fact that a lobster is food does not make it a more elevated being”

And I never said it did. I said the fact that it has an observable and measurable pain response makes it a more elevated being.

Lobsters are sentient, the science has proven it. They might be on the lower end but they have also been shown to demonstrate a limited form of memory and intelligence when it comes to things like pain, avoiding objects that are known to cause it.

I get not caring, but mate, you sound like an absolute psychopath who takes delight in killing them.

The science would tend to disagree with you.

All the evidence points to the fact that lobsters do feel pain in the same way humans do. As they’re being boiled alive they release significant amounts of cortisol, the same as us.

Bug or not, it is sentient. If we are going to insist on eating them then we have a moral responsibility to minimise their suffering before we do.
