Who makes antibiotics for fish?
fish farming couldn't survive without it.

Huh.  Never gave it much thought.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Antibiotics for animals has become a very big issue.

Yeah, they never finish the full course, even after you explain to them three times the importance of doing so.

Dropped by my old apartment on Friday to make sure the mailbox doesn't explode with fliers. It felt uncomfortable going back. A fat old Viennese guy was berating a foreigner in foul language for not speaking German. A bloated woman tumbled drunk out of a bar at 4 pm. Police were raiding the Chechen drug dealers at the parking lot next to the playground (finally!). Etc. Having lived there for four years you kinda grow used to those things. But after two weeks in bourgeois central the contrast was stark.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Syt's transition to petit bourgeois is depressing. :(

Classic things remain (the former) or have improved (the latter) since you left, yet you complain. :rolleyes:

Fish aren't animals.  You can eat them during lent when you aren't suppose to eat meat.  Since meat comes from animals, fish can't be animals.

I can eat beef and pork during Lent. :mmm:

They're still in the food supply chain and that makes it a public health issue.  Now stop being a dickhead.

church doesn't classify them as "meat", they're still animals.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

It's not exactly the banlieue, but the area has gone downhill in the last one or two years since you've seen it. Shops leaving, and getting replaced by crappier shops (if at all), an increase in crime and violence. Our old hallway had become covered in graffiti and smelled of piss. Etc.

It's not the banlieue since it's city centre anyways ;)
Barbès-Rochechouart style then, as I said back then. Increase in crime and violence by Austrian standards? Well, they've got quite some catch-up to do. I now await Strache's verdict and proposed solutions for the area. :)
