Vegetarian Of The Year

Posted on December 22, 2017 by

A very Merry Christmas to our old pal Michelle – sorry, Lady – Mone.

We’re sure that’s some sort of giant cabbage in the picture or something.

Hopefully everything’s going as well for the mega-entrepreneur as always.

We miss the pictures of the deck, though.

    What’s hilarious is that since Bitcoin’s new expert came out in support of it, it has dropped from almost 19,000 USD to about 12,500 USD at the back of 6 a.m. this morning.

    Merry Christmas btw, Rev.

    The chap that was selling Chuck E Cheese tokens as Bitcoins gaining considerable sums of fish before being entertained by the forces of law and order suggests to me that the general public are not quite ready for virtual cash.

    No issue with veggies, I increasingly lean that way myself. But I am fairly sure chickens are off.

    Vegetarianism didn’t take, then? If she had watched What The Health I’m surprised she didn’t aim to be vegan. OK O/T rant, but the milk and egg industries are arguably the worst of all. In the egg industry, day old male chicks are put on a conveyor belt and dropped into a machine called a macerator where they are ground up ALIVE. Where that doesn’t happen, they are gassed to death or put in a large plastic bag and suffocated. All because male chicks are useless to the industry. Not had an egg since I found that out and been vegan for three months. Only thing I miss in all honesty is a takeaway Chicken Korma but the Veggie Curries are not bad.

    What a total waste of paper, giving space to someone so thoroughly underserving of it, who really should have no authority on any matter of importance at all.

    Being vegetarian is a choice, and a good one, if you eat meat, make sure it is from small farms, and had outside space, and fed a good diet. You can buy really good organic eggs totally free range from wholefood shops, and fab ones from the city farm. Organic dairy, not big chain stores’ ‘organic’, is best by far.

    Don’t buy wool unless you know it’s local, watched a film about shearing (tearing) sheep in asia other day, the cruelty and actual violence used on the poor sheep is just horrendous. They are beaten, torn by the shears, stamped on, kicked, thrown against walls etc.
    Breaks your heart to watch, but it’s real and it’s happening now.

    Back to Mone, she is a self serving trougher, whose voice is loud and inane. So many talented people out there, but the right wing digusting media ignore those people, maybe they don’t have big tits to show off or something, Get lost right wing rags.

    How dare you poke fun at the Baroness. Unlike you, she has realised that this is a fake vegetarian turkey. Her business history has provided her with unrivalled experience in such matters.
    Push-up bras, fake tans, slimming pills, imitation jewellery, business tzarship, and now crypto currency. If she can’t identify a fake vegetarian turkey, no-one can.
    You should humbly apologise to Baroness Mone forthwith.

    I must admit in my defence that i don’t really know a lot about this woman, i do remember Rod Stewart and his wife falling out with her when she did the dirty on Rod’s wife with that modelling thing
    Anyway, my take on a person like her is this, ….. they are never satisfied, allways striving to make more money than they will ever need, its a pretty sad existence when you think of it, measuring your worth in money terms and thinking your more important than you really are, i remember the great Peter Cook was on a show with Zsa Zsa Gabor, he had been interviewed by the host, then Zsa Zsa came on, and the host fawned all over her, then he turned to Peter and said, what do you think of Zsa Zsa Peter, and peter replied without a second’s thought, she’s vain, i think he would have put a wee sweary word in there, but it was live on the BBC…. lol

    Why do Unionists all want to live somewhere else that they say is better than Scotland instead of helping to make Scotland better than somewhere else, then demand that everyone else who stays in Scotland stay where they are to keep funding the lives of the ones who left for somewhere else

    Is it like a promotion to live somewhere else or is it they just want to keep Scotland handy for somewhere to come back to

    Ethics and Personality: Empathy and Narcissism as Moderators of Ethical Decision Making in Business Students

    Abstract

    Many studies have reported that business students have been more apt to act in self-interested ways when compared to their counterparts in other academic fields. Beginning with the premise that ethical behavior derives in part from personality characteristics, the authors tested whether (a) measures of an empathetic or narcissistic personality predicted self-reported ethical decision making in business students and (b) individual business majors have a tendency to exhibit these personality traits. First, findings demonstrate that empathetic and narcissistic personality traits are significant predictors of ethical decision making. Second, they found that finance majors showed a marked and statistically significant tendency to be less empathetic and more narcissistic as compared to other business students.

    Organizational Narcissism and Virtuous Behavior

    Abstract

    Extreme narcissistic organizations are unable to behave ethically because they lack a moral identity. While such organizations are not necessarily unethical intentionally, they become self-obsessed and use a sense of entitlement, self-aggrandizement, denial, and rationalizations to justify anything they do. Extreme narcissistic organizations might develop formal ethics programs, but such programs will have little effect on behavior.

    Why We Might Feel Lonely Around Narcissism
    Research links lack of emotional empathy with identity instability.

    ….Empathy comes in two flavors: cognitive and emotional. Of course, cognitive and emotional empathy can work together, but they can co-exist separately as well. It turns out that the balance of empathy may be connected with how narcissistic one’s personality is. While more narcissistic people can be entertaining and often great fun to spend time with, their inability to pay attention to other people’s needs can make it feel lonely to be around them even when we’re not alone.

    In literature reviewed by Di Pierro et al. (2017), who conducted a recent research study discussed below, the authors note that early on in the field, the relationship between empathy and narcissism was not very clear. There was consensus from clinical and diagnostic theories that narcissism was associated with reduced empathy, leading to intrapsychic and interpersonal problems, but findings were mixed with regard to what kind of empathy, if there were any differentiation. Subsequent research arguably began to detect a pattern: In general, narcissism is associated with greater cognitive empathy, but reduced emotional empathy….

    I’m Number One! Does Narcissism Impair Ethical Judgment Even for the Highly Religious?

    Abstract

    Can an assessment of individuals’ narcissism help explain the quality of a respondent’s ethical judgment? How is the relationship between religiosity and ethical judgment moderated by the effects of narcissism? With a sample of 385 undergraduate business majors, this study uses a taxonomic approach to examine the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity as well as orthodox Christian beliefs on ethical judgment. Three distinct clusters were identified: Skeptics, Nominals, and Devouts. Surprisingly, of the three clusters, Nominals and Devouts were the only groups impacted by narcissism, although Skeptics overall demonstrate the worst ethical judgment.

    @ mogabee – I’ve heard the cows calling anxiously, for days, for their calves who have been taken away from them for the convenience of the dairy and meat industry.
    The Tories say that animals are not sentient beings. But I know that they are.
    Add to that the hormones and antibiotics which seep into the milk and meat fed to humans.
    It’s a personal choice but at least we owe it to ourselves to be informed.
    Even so, I can’t watch the films of conditions under which pigs and chickens are kept. Factory farms should be banned.
    One thing I can do – refuse to finance the industry by buying their products. Ticks a lot of boxes for me, I.e health, environment and animal welfare.
    Arable farms are the beneficiaries.

    Eating meat’s bad, mky. Eating de-regulated, Anglo-American, meat will be much worse. 🙁

    Public health implications of meat production and consumption

    Abstract

    The high level of meat and saturated fat consumption in the USA and other high-income countries exceeds nutritional needs and contributes to high rates of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and some cancers. Affluent citizens in middle- and low-income countries are adopting similar high-meat diets and experiencing increased rates of these same chronic diseases. The industrial agricultural system, now the predominant form of agriculture in the USA and increasingly world-wide, has consequences for public health owing to its extensive use of fertilisers and pesticides, unsustainable use of resources and environmental pollution. In industrial animal production there are public health concerns surrounding feed formulations that include animal tissues, arsenic and antibiotics as well as occupational health risks and risks for nearby communities. It is of paramount importance for public health professionals to become aware of and involved in how our food is produced.

    Yet more news of a Bitcoin heist too, it doesn’t look too secure if script kiddies can come along and steal your stash. Also there is nothing akin to a bank guarantee in Bitcoin.

    When a tealeaf lifted my wife’s cards just before Xmas about 15 years ago leaving us almost penniless for a period we got all the money back, eventually.

    The blockchain was supposed to be utterly traceable and secure, but it obviously isn’t. The billionaire twins who sued Zuck over Facebook and have billions in bitcoin keep their blockchain numbers on paper cut into bits and stored in different safety deposit boxes in different banks. You have to be a savant to memorise it as it is too long.
