TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 27 Report Share Posted November 27 With everything else going on in this world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals want to change a pub name from "The Sly Old Fox", to the "CLEVER Old Fox". Apparently "sly" is offensive to foxes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5mym9l1e5o How are these fools allowed out in the community?

This is how silly they are, loads of people have complained because they feel this sort of thing devalues their otherwise good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 Pointed out to a supporter of this plan that generally foxes have no understanding of the spoken or written words of man and therefore could not find anything a human said offensive. And to be offended on behalf of something that has no compression of said wrong is beyond stupid. The person was unable to mount a counter to my point, surprisingly 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 I already disliked them for calling me an arch criminal for wearing leather shoes and a leather belt. I used to have to pass by their very fancy waterfront building on the way to work. they are amazingly well funded by simple minded but wealthy people who leave their estates to them.

I do a lot of my local business advertising via FB. Scrolling through the posts and replies on there, many are quite literally "beyond stupid" especially if you happen upon any vegetarian/peta/vegan/re-wilding/ stop-oil/stop-plastic/stop-fieldsports/ stop-farming posts [theres a long list]. sadly this united front of the beyond stupid is gaining strengh and I guess will eventually become the norm. 3 minutes ago, simcgunner said: I already disliked them for calling me an arch criminal for wearing leather shoes and a leather belt.
