Possibly because it's good sport?

Ancient arts that risk being lost in the mists of time, rather like falconry.



Wonder what they put in the lttle morsels to keep it coming back for more?

Seems to be eating out of his hand...

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?

I lost interest after the bird flew to and fro a couple of times.

Wonder if those guys traded their pitbull in for the falcon...!!

Glad I don't live on that estate - wouldn't fancy cleaning falcon poo off my conservatory windows...!!

so you are supporting a cruel blood sport Mobertol , one in which a bear is chained up and dogs are allowed to rip it apart! Is that what you like!

Also falconry is nothing like bear baiting two totally different things! Just like all drugs are totally different things, have different purposes and different effects!

So lets get this straight heroin does'nt damage the body but can mentally cause harm. I might be missing something here but the last time i looked at some kind of medical book mental harm meant the brain which in my case,don't know about you is attached to my body via my head and neck, i find it gets the best from it keeping it there, maybe yours is in a jar at the side of the bed i don't know

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?

If anybody from the powers that be, read this thread the pro drug lobby are doing a good job of putting a case for not legalising drugs. The posts they have put forward say everything about what sort of condition you end up in once you have used the said drugs.

I'm sure that those who have read my post have understood that it was made with irony, with the modern interpretation of "bear baiting" in mind -ie the tormenting of a victim, with words
Times change, Heny VIII found that sport highly entertaining as did most of his subjects. His friend, Robert, Earl of Dudley, is quoted as recounting how entertaining it was to see an Ass with an Ape tied to it's back fighting...and other such encounters in the pit.
The bloodsport of bear baiting was commonplace on this Isle until 1848, until the first Parliamentary Act against animal cruelty.
I would not like to witness it personally.
Whether it is "right" or not, some people will always throw themselves at the mercy of others, verbally. Their "look out". No one forces them to do it.

Is it better to torture animals in the name of sport or consider acceptable that the new generation of human beings be subjected to drugs as a norm?

Bull - shhhhhhhhhh! Bull baiting!

Garinda is a twite in my book! You support him if you want - and you are supporting a troll who is "up himself!" you wanna go up there as well feel free!

Tobbaco is a drug it is legal and more addictive than heroin this is a fact! Alcohol is a drug and more damaging than other drugs that are illegal. An individual should be able to take drugs it is their body and their decision! End of! Unfortunately the Government don't think so and in doing so allow criminals to sell other substances that are not what an individual may require thus putting that persons health at risk!

This argument can not be won so I put this argument to an end!

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?

Alcohol and tobbacco are indeed legal as you state , nobody has denied that, also nobody has denied that they cause there own problems. The point is if alcohol and tobbaco are legal and cause problems why should we legalise more substances which damage people and cause enough social problems when illegal, what difference would legalising drugs make to solving the economic and physical harm they cause our society?

If I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times,
This time pay attention,

I AM NOT YOUR MATE!

By the way, I didn't ignore your 'George Orwell', post, I chose not to criticise it.
