Then they should talk to me, rather than rely on generalizations that were created a couple of thousand years ago and revived by new age mystics.

So is palm reading; for grifters.

Yes, but no one credible still uses it. Which was the point I was making.

Faulty pattern recognition isn't something we should be holding on to.

Wikipedia has them listed as Least Concerned. So, not in a way that would have conservatory issues associated due to population.

Like I said there is a lot of disinformation surrounding the topic.

Isn't allowing the porn industry to be able to use your hardware crucial for widespread adoption? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the fact that Betamax and HDDVD did this was one of the factors for their loss of market share?

I'm glad I wouldn't really be able to tell if the pop song is hers by just listening to it. But then I stopped listening to pop in high school and radio stations once MP3 players could hold more than 3 grindcore albums at a time.

There is a lot of misinformation on both sides about the commercial seal hunt in Canada. Which makes it difficult to get the truth.

But to call people who are engaging in the hunt using traditional or modern methods as evil is some fucking bullshit. Most times it's a group who don't understand the nuances, using a standard that doesn't apply.

Now, saying that there aren't problems with the hunt would be rather disingenuous, and most of the anti-hunting groups deliberately misrepresent the facts because seals are cute. At the same time, the industry associations and hunters themselves are biased.

There is a way to ethically hunt seals, and having a market to sell the meat and fur is imperative for that. I'm not passing judgment on the hunters if the animals don't suffer, and they stick to the quotas and guidelines set forth by the DFO.
