I think I understand now. A community made website!

[antiaircraft]

Actually it's more like community made software, not a website, but apart from that you pretty much got the concept right. :D

[The Original Luna]

yay! I've now got to do an essay on why Badger Culling is wrong. Any suggestions?

[antiaircraft]

Well you'll first have to tell me exactly what badger culling is. XD

[smumpkins]

Well, badger culling is when you cull a badger. XP Sorry, I'm in a tired mood. :evo:

[antiaircraft]

I mean how is it done, and why? I don't really know much about badgers. I live in Malaysia...

[The Original Luna]

Well, Badger Culling is being done to prevent bTB- Bovine tuberculosis- in Cattle and Badgers can spread it, but I'm trying to make the said essay to say that it's wrong to cull badgers.

[antiaircraft]

Well - are the cattle being culled? If the cattle aren't being culled, then you do have an argument.

[The Original Luna]

but we need cattle for their cow meat and leather. I argued that they should be innoculated- vaccinated against bTB.

[smumpkins]

Okay, so you want to go and hunt down all wild badgers and give them shots? Go right ahead. XP

[Strategos]

Actually, culling means to slaughter. Not to inject with medicine. Unfortunately, I have no ideas about it.

[smumpkins]

No, she said that she'd rather have them inoculated than slaughtered. So, I said that if she wants, she can go inoculate all of them. XP

[antiaircraft]

My point was that if we can afford not to cull the cattle, then we can afford not to cull the badgers. We're just being selfish.

[The Original Luna]

I did the essay- Teacher said it was B-. Innoculate the cattle- not the badgers- although that is a good idea!

[smumpkins]

Honestly, badgers have such a short lifespan that it would be foolish to inoculate all of them. *shrugs*.

[antiaircraft]

Plus that would take rather a lot of effort. Why not just inoculate the people?

[Hubert]

ive saw a badger once. Those are cool!

[antiaircraft]

Cool how? Can they easily be converted into evil minions with an undying loyalty to you?

[The Original Luna]

No, but fleas and Dragonflies can- Draggonflies have one of the sharpest jaws in the insect kingdom!

[Hubert]

Hm, Im not quite sure if you can transform them into evil minors. Mayby you should try to mutate them? That might work.

[smumpkins]

Evil minors? Huh, that just made me think about middle school. >_>;;

[The Original Luna]

Middle school- is that like the american equivalent of Junior school?

[Strategos]

It's actually closer to a secondary school, serving grades 6-8, or ages 11-15. These schools are normally smaller than other schools, but they still do have a considerable size of pupils.

[The Original Luna]

So I'd be in Upper school then as I'm 16. Also when you said 11-15 does that include 11 and 15?
