      I also love that, that statement came right after a story of him punching a bear in its nose. He isn't against things like people defending themselves against an animal, but rather it seems he is against people being cruel to animals for the sake of cruelty.
      It's kind of a great balance with that story and that statement.

      @@andrewjohnson6716your doing a lot more harm than good, with comments like that. If you truely wish for people to change their mindset, then you need to completely change the way you are going about it first.
      Also I said cruelty for the sake of cruelty. Eating meat isn't done just for the sake of cruelty, it is food. A lion is not cruel for eating meat. There is a difference, and trying to tell people that there isn't, is not likely to help your cause one bit.
      And whether I eat meat or not, isn't really any of your business, nor is it any of mine whether or not you do. People sitting up on high horses, are rarely relatable, and so their points are typically just shouted to the wind above everyone else's heads.

      @@nickeldime6713 Hahaha you're really going to try that old chestnut? "If you want to convince people of something, you should always keep it at a level that they can comfortably ignore." The fact that millions of Vegans exist is proof that all exploitation of animals is by definition unnecessary. To keep an innocent imprisoned when they want to be free is cruelty. Taking away someone's offsrping is cruelty. Kiling soemoen who wants to live when they have lived less than 1/5 of their lifespan is cruelty. Every aspect of consuming meat and dairy is unnecessary cruelty. Sorry if the truth is uncomfortable to you, but your discomfort doesn't change fatcs.

      I may have been at that performance. Or if not, something similar.
      Thing is, I wasn't a great fan at the time - only went to the gig because a friend had tickets and invited me.
      His sheer humanity, drive for life and exhuberance brought that audience (including me) to its feet in a long, long, standing ovation at the sheer exuberance and joy for life of what I now accept as one of our greatest performers. In fact, strike performer and insert national character - or perhaps both. For Brian is not just larger than life - he's outside normal categories. I hope he lives forever.

    There is literally nothing that fazes this man.
    He just doesn't stop.
    He was in old, classic Doctor Who.
    And I remember one of the villains surrendering because he didn't want to be yelled at anymore.
    Everything he's done has always been bloody mesmerising.
    Adventuring, singing, writing, acting, bellowing, doesn't matter.
    The man is a bloody legend.
