    Ministry of Agriculture Announces Intention To Ban Dog Meat Trade

    I have quite purposefully neglected to comment directly on any of your posts in this thread, as in my opinion there has been nothing actually worth noting about them. But since you persist, let me take this opportunity to thank you for all of your superfluous, irrelevant and uninformative bits...

    Do I need my passport to fly domestic?

    No. You just need some form of ID, it can be from Indonesian government or issued by your home country. I'm sure they prefer something with a photo. I have generally used either my passport or my state-issued ID from the US. However, please be advised that should you travel to USA you WILL need...

    And all of that is exactly and precisely your opinion. I understand that your opinion is that I have no right to my opinion in this matter. So be it. And by the way, I'm not judging their culture. I actually don't judge cannibalism as a part of someone's traditional ethnic culture either. I...

    I personally know a lot of Batak people. A good number of them I consider my friends, and they certainly include some of the best people I've ever met or known. And if some of them would be offended by the views I express here (and probably so), I would feel sorry that I have caused them that...

    Ministry of Agriculture Announces Intention To Ban Dog Meat Trade

    Your strong implication is that I don't have the right to "push" or "impose" my views on others meaning that I don't have the right to express my own support for a proposal (sorry, once more) made BY INDONESIANS about a ban on the dog meat trade in their own country. So, although I have lived...

    Ministry of Agriculture Announces Intention To Ban Dog Meat Trade

    Hear, hear! So the question might naturally be, is this a situation which should just be chalked up to "the human character and condition" and accepted as a sort of ongoing "fait accompli"? Or it is something which we can and should strongly consider trying to change, as some are trying to do...

    I am sure (or at least, your avatar leads me to believe so) you are aware that Mister Spock was (will be?) only HALF Vulcan. He is /was / will be also half human, even though he clearly dispreferred and repressed his more "emotional" side. Nevertheless, although he operated on the basis of...

    Are you familiar with the water engine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_engine There is a film by David Mamet called The Water Engine. In the story, an engineer invents a machine and process which converts water into energy usable in the same way as oil-based products, e.g, cars and other...

    With all due thanks to Atlantis for the social studies lesson, I need no "reminders" about the conditions of poverty among the Indonesian people. During the time I have lived in Indonesia as an adult (discounting my childhood "expat bubble" years in Jakarta in the 70s, though even then I had at...

    Just like Atlantis already taking the piss on the other thread I posted in what I assume he thinks is a subtle way. You (Atlantis, SN_park, et cetera) couldn't make it any more obvious that you don't give a shit about the welfare or lack thereof of animals, as long as they are not your own...

    I most certainly did not call Atlantis a "drone", and not sure what you mean by the term, because when used in the noun form I just think of a kind of remote-controlled plane, which usually spies on and / or drops bombs on people. I never accused him of such activities. As far as cold and...

    Ministry of Agriculture Announces Intention To Ban Dog Meat Trade

    Good. Ikan tuna "rica rica" is sold in cans in swalayan in SumUt Jakarta, Balikpapan to my personal knowledge, and probably across most of Indonesia. It is surely much more tasty than tough, stringy dog meat so they can just switch on to that. Just tell people that it has all the same "magical...

    Proposed Ban On Indonesian Dog Meat Trade, and other Animal Welfare Initiatives

    Maybe I should have posted this in this section in the first place (though I think it certainly qualifies as "in the news", so either one / both should be appropriate". I would like to translate some parts of this to B. I., would like to reach out to those whose English skills are not so good...

    Where is the love

    Really? * (sincerely puzzled face) * Please forgive me, but I strongly suggest you change your super-ironic avatar, as it hardly seems to suit your online persona. Going back several years on the "Old Forum" it has always been my impression that we should all put on our Big Girl and Boy Pants...

    A note about "namecalling": The term "fishmonger" refers to a person who hawks or sells fish, just as a warmonger is one who encourages people to "buy" war; it (fishmonger) is not meant as a derogatory or pejorative epithet. To the best of my knowledge, the person I called a "fishmonger" is...

    Ministry of Agriculture Announces Intention To Ban Dog Meat Trade

    My final word to "steveandpenny": I have re-read both of your posts again, and the best I can make out your final position (so far) is that you totally support a proposed ban on the dog meat trade, with exemptions for every part of the country where people actually, traditionally, eat dogs...
