No problem Margaret, I'd sent a report an hour or so ago, didn't think to warn folk then.


If you press the 'quote' button on that post the URL appears at the bottom of the quote, he/she has coloured it to the same as the background, fortunately it doesn't work he/she didn't do it right, but had it worked when moving your cursor over it, it would have changed to the finger for a link clicking on it would have taken you to a porn site.

These spammers are really trying to be clever.

Thanks for the report, I have removed the links now. Not sure what the point of it was because you couldn't easily follow the link and I didn't go to the site to see what it was
 
I know it's reopening an old thread, but just reading this article today it highlights that the means used to train & advance military medics skills (regardless how people feel personally) via hands on, practical experience & sometimes drastic measures have definitely benefited our troops. That said, it has also had a knock on effect which has been carried across to parts of the NHS. The result, improving casualties chances & increased survivability rates for the man on the street.

There is absolutely nothing to compare with experiential learning.
Lessons learned in this way are never ever lost....and what is more, they can be built on and the transfer of knowledge and skills has to be a positive event.
So out of what was a very unfortunate and difficult event, positives have emerged........and lives will be saved from what was learned in a theatre of war.

I read that article(with great interest - I have never lost my thirst for medical information and advances) but didn't consider posting it in this thread....but it does deserve a wider audience.
 
I am glad I can still surprise you Gordon, but it was a totally innocent question.......I can see no porn site links in this thread.....unless I am missing something.

But there is no reason that they can't use humans instead of animals ... after all, it's been done before, and has a well-documented history.

It appears as if the only part of Genesis which is still taken almost literally is the Sixth Day ... sorry Kevin, I know you believe it all;) ... Although we seem to have ignored is the "replenish the earth" bit in order to concentrate on the "Be fruitful and multiply" part ... especially on weekends after a few drinks ... and the "subdue it and have dominion" thingies.

Since I was born, (altho' I don't think it has anything to do with me) there has been an explosion of technological progress; better mousetraps are built on a daily basis, almost hourly in the case of the IPhone. Hell, we even have cars that park themselves so that women are not such a threat when they get behind the wheel. There's gotta be a better way ... and the reason we are so successful as a species is that we inevitably find it.

Oh, and the "mousetrap" thing ... I mean no disrespect to Pixie and Dixie.;)
 
Not sure about the better mousetraps- we had a lot of field mice in the garage, chewing holes etc.
Went for a couple of mousetraps, saw the old fashioned ones and the new fancy ones, expensive but 'humane and effective'.
Set them, next day there's a mouse scrabbling around the garage backwards with a trap on its head. How do you dispatch a mouse with its head covered by a trap?
Happened a couple of more times so I threw them away and got a couple of good old fashioned traps- no arguing with them- also very effective on fingers!

Wasn't condoning the actions just answering what I thought was a silly question

Well maybe it was a silly question and maybe you don't condone the actions, I personally can only see two ways to go, use animals or use Accyexplorer, I know the animals would be sadly missed, can anyone the the same about our virtual village idiot?
