As pets ?

Leggings to a business meeting ?. Seems a rather odd dress choice. I go to a gym every week attached to the local high school and groups of young teenagers are always around. Most of the girls are wearing leggings which at a distance look as if they have had their legs and lower body painted black. How the hell do testosterone fueled teenage boys concentrate. The private school down the road has a dress code which is knee length skirts for the girls. Much more sensible in my mind.

Now reading "Life Ascending- The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution," by Nick Lane.

Moravian comments on Jul 31, 2020:

An interesting guy. I had a look at some excerpts from his book online. The chapter in consciousness is particularly interesting. The Roman Catholic church accepts evolution as a scientific theory but consciousness is given by god. I sometimes wonder if some other animals have consciousness similar to humans. Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent and have a large vocabulary and even different sounds/names for other individuals. The ability to speak and opposable thumbs have taken us a long way. I would question his use of the word invention though. It implies intent which I am sure is not the case.

Hi Hawkeye, welcome to the site. I think it is a bit of a non story. American religious nutters do not have any real influence here. Most hate crimes are already covered and this appears to just filling in any gaps and simplifying the legislation. Apparently the bill will also remove the common law offence of blasphemy which surprises me as I thought it had long since been consigned to history.

I don't quite see the correlation unless you hit someone over the head with a wooden cross. The cross a a symbol was in use long before it was adopted by Christianity and probably the Nazi swastika was a much more violent symbol then the simple cross. As for needing to be armed to go to the supermarket, I am with Literate Hiker on that one. If you are so paranoid that you need to pack a gun to go shopping maybe you should shop online and have your groceries delivered.
