Or they used old footage. I find certain animal rights campaigners still trot those images out when trying to shut down our current seal hunt even though it's very much a thing of the past. False news isn't just a right wing thing, IOW. Fact is, the harp and hooded seals are not an endangered species and populations are growing with the current tight quotas. I, personally, would not be unhappy if the commercial seal fishery ended, but I do support Inuit and other indigenous people retaining the right to hunt them on a subsistence basis for both fur and food.

for those of you that are vegetarian and not vegan, is there a reason for your choice of one and not the other? i ask because at one point i was considering adopting a vegan or vegetarian diet. in my research i discovered that becoming a vegan is a lifestyle change and not simply a diet. i then decided that it was something that i could not wholeheartedly committ to. the main reason being that i use/wear leather items on a daily basis.
those of you that are against fur, what are your feelings about leather? just curious.

1. On a purely rational level, there are some pretty darn good reasons for using fur for dress... hunters and trappers help control wild animal population, which is ultimately good for animal species... disease, starvation and deaths on highways for animals would be even greater if there were no hunting or trapping. PETA fanatics refuse to acknowledge this reality, and become vicious if you even try to raise the point.

I've reached an age where I'm starting to care a little about the Super Bowl. At least, I feel less of a need to make snarky comments about all the padding and the whole 'oh no, we lost the ball, better have a break for a couple of minutes and put an entirely different team out there' thing. Now, to read up on who's actually playing this year...
Coffee for me too please, with or without an added umlaut.

we have just added a new extension to the story authoring process (suggested by DarkSide) where you can add alternate endings to your story. this allows the reader to choose their own ending, helping to make the stories that much more immersive.
you might have noticed a new toolbar icon on the story submission box. this blue forking arrow will insert a new section to edit area where you can define a heading and body to the ending.
let me know if you have any comments.
cheers

Forgive me for sounding grumpy, but I have finally reached an age where I no longer care to feign enthusiasm for the Stupor Bowl. Oh I'll watch - last year was a great game, and the halftime show can occasionally rock (Prince 2007!). But mostly I see the game as a marker: when it's over we can finally focus on what is really important, which is Spring Training for baseball season!
Koffee please. Enjoy the game everyone.

Looking forward to the puppy bowl today. Also, I could use some coffee, Bill.
I just finished editing a piece for Unfaithfulmilf. I'll give it a final proof and then send it to her for her okay.
Then I really need to do some writing for myself. I hope you really enjoy the game, little Tonya.
Quote by LillyLush
It's about story scoring... presently most of the stories here get unreasonably high scores because of many reasons but most importantly because readers have no mechanism available to evaluate a story with good reason. Bias, irresponsibility, prejudice and sometimes fishy ways are being used to score a story... while scoring, readers should be able to take account of the plot, language, setting, style etc. separately... all such fundamentals of a story should be available to the readers to score distinctively one by one, say from score 1 to 5... This can be made available in a small table... It will reduce inflated scoring and likely to bring in realism in story rating. This may also lead to more objectivity in subsequent comments by the readers

Going to sound crazy and probably mentioned before- a universal lush time stamp. I don’t care what it is set at x porn o clock would do! X if Gav could have a fiddle please I’d appreciate it. We’d all have a reference point whether it be the forum/BB/email to work from. Plus kinda help my OCD tendencies ❤️ Thank you xx

Wow, the standard of writing in this competition, has been extraordinary. One of, if not the strongest, to date.
It's going to be a very tough job for the judges next week.
Excellent effort, everyone who entered. =d>
