Standing Up For The Environment

On this celebration of earth day, President Obama is looking to lift the ban on whale hunting. There are still species of whales out there, that are so dessimated, they may never make a comeback. And if the US lifts the ban on hunting, it is very likely that other countries will follow suit. The environmental group that I belong to...IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) is asking people to call the white house to ask that this ban on hunting remain. If you are interested...the white house number is...202-456-1111. You can also go onto the website ...ifaw.org. There is a link there that will let you know if your state reps and senators are backing this or not. Hope it is ok to post this. Ever since I had my meeting with the whales ...years ago....all I can say is that there is a lot of wisdom...in those eyes. And, we need to protect them.

Hon.......

I have to say that I am somewhat disillusioned by this...

It's not at all the way I thought things would go when Obama got into office...

I am going to the site after I answer you here and check out my state reps...

This is not what should be happening at all!

Thanks....

I can not say I am surprised by this. Everything this administration has done has been rediculous. I do not want to get into a political debate. I think we should get rid of all the politicians and start over. I am a great lover of nature. All animals and plants. I think whales are truly wonderful creatures. I have gone to the website and will do what I can to help.

I have nothing good to say about him if he is really doing this. I mean really, whales? Hell same thing with sharks, they are endangered already.

I guess he felt the whales had enough of a break from death and wanted to him some good ol' fashioned white whale huntin.

Jean, I agree with you for the most part.

What those who do not lead by example say should be taken with a grain of salt.

The world's governments will not meet their internationally-agreed target of curbing the loss of species and nature by 2010, a major study has confirmed...

...Unep chief scientist Joseph Alcamo added: "Since 1970, we have reduced animal populations by 30%, the area of mangroves and seagrasses by 20% and the coverage of living corals by 40%.

Anna, note, I am not attacking you. I am making a statement.

When someone presents an argument, and makes bold statements, without following up with evidence on where their study is conducted, and how their study is conducted, they hurt their own argument.

I won't take it as an attack because I have no idea what you are talking about. The link to the BBC article is posted, and if you read it, you'll see that the study was conducted by the UN Environment Programme's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (Unep-WCMC) and BirdLife International. Now if the link I presented previously, along with the direct quotes from UNEP chief scientist Joseph Alcamo, aren't good enough, I don't know what are.

So again, I ask, what in the world are you talking about?

Is there any kind of a direct link for this?

Sorry if I missed it or something.

We WILL do SOMETHING.

      Good morning   well its big bike week this week American/Canadian made. Followed almost immediately with metric bike week.  And let’s not forget the Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament last week.  Our business has been very busy. So much so I need to leave earlier to make certain I get my work done before I have too many people in the tpstore and can’t get it done.   Hi ho silver and away   Willow

      I guess this was commonplace in females. But if your prostate gland is still in place this can contribute to urinal difficulties too.

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/15/peru-chooses-bigotry-medical-services     The Health Ministry tried to put the best face on this unscientific gibberish of a decree, but it won't diminish the harm it will do to the Pervian trans community.  They undoubtedly already suffer from severe discrimination and bigotry in a very macho-opriented society.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.
