That human hunting is a centuries old tradition.
The fierce debate on Human hunting in Extro-Anthropophagus has been brought to your attention after vociferous supporters of both sides of the argument stormed your parliament.
The Debate

"Human hunting is a cruel and horrible 'sport' for the wealthy," says Naki Christmas of the 'Protect Anything Cute and Furry Society'. "How can you possibly justify it? Oh, they witter on about 'tradition' and 'pest control' and other such nonsense, but really we all know it's because these sadists love to torture poor, innocent animals! Hunting must be banned!"


"Banning Human hunting would be the end for centuries of tradition!" wails esteemed aristocrat Max Thiesen from atop his steed. "The thrill of the chase, the baying of the hounds, the Human scooting through the undergrowth - it would be a travesty! We provide much needed stimulus to the local tourism, and you can't deny that Humans are pests - killing farmers' livestock for example! I propose that Human hunting be encouraged, for the cultural - and economic - benefit of the nation!"


"Well, you know what I think?" asks Violet Li, while helping to assemble a small trebuchet. "I reckon that the real issue about this sport is the cruelty aspect, and no-one can deny that sending a pack of dogs to tear apart a poor, innocent Human is cruel. I reckon we should just ban hunting with hounds and only allow kinder and more instantly lethal methods like guns, tranquillisers, and cruise missiles."


"I'm firmly against the slaughter of dumb animals," says George W. Falopian, while feeding an infant Human with a milk bottle. "It would be best if the animals didn't die, and hunters could still do what they love to do - how about instead of shooting them or sending vicious canines after them, the hunter runs up to his quarry and gives it a symbolic 'tap' with his hand? Now isn't that much nicer for everyone?"

I have yet to actually wake up in the morning rather than in the afternoon.

Today, I broke the record: woke up at 1430.

People don't read classified ads properly.

I am advertising for a mature female room mate who has a steady job. I also stated that I smoke and have a cat. First reply I got was from a young guy who is 'looking to start a new career', hates cigarette smoke and is allergic to cats. In other words, aside from the obvious negatives - he hasn't even got a bloody job. :palm:
