Hunting

[CrAz3D]

I think that animals should, as funny as it sounds, be humanized. I fail to see any significant in what humans and animals are, at the core. We're all intelligent creatures. Humanizing animals makes it harder to want to harm them.

That's horrible English, are you drunk?  "I fail to see any significant in what humans and animals are, at the core."  Maybe high since you're a Canuck? !

Who cares if they're intelligent, they taste good/cause problems.  We execute people because there is no better way to deal with them ... nothing wrong there.  And many animals are tasty.

I didn't read through all the essays in here.  How many of you against hunting for "amusement" are vegetarians?  The extent of my hunting is taking my BB gun in the backyard and killing the squirrels that like to eat my outside furniture.

After writing it, I went back and made changes. They obviously weren't poofread very well. D'oh!

That one sentence should be, "I fail to see any significant in which humans and animals are, at the core, different"

I fail to see any significant difference in what humans and animals are at the core? ... you mean something more similar to that?


Well, let's see.  Instincts, we don't really have to act on our gut feeling, we're reasonable, etc.  We are completely different at the core.

Trust, I don't have time for a long reply, but I would like to point out that this is not a highschool debate.  People should not approach their lives as though they're in a highschool debate. The purpose of a high-school debate is just to win; the only reason for considering or thinking about the other person's viewpoint is to see how you can discredit it.  It is an exercise in persuasion. 

In real life, you should be happy to admit when you are wrong, because then you have learned something.

We're reasonable? Look at you?  Look at what humans are doing to the world.  We're completely different at the core?  Good job supporting that controversial point.  I particularly like your touch; how you argue by either stating very questionable propositions as obvious facts -- proof of your thoughtlessness -- and when that fails you become aggressive: first you are actively aggressive, and then passive aggressive.

And I like your touch.  It's soft and so dainty.


Pot calling kettle black, yet again. (re: bold part)

The thing is we're discussing opinion, we're not debating fact. How can I admit that I'm wrong when I'm not? Just because you disagree with my opinion doesn't mean it is wrong.

This is what I said: "In real life, you should be happy to admit when you are wrong, because then you have learned something."  Do you have a problem with that comment as a general statement?

And of course that translates, in this discussion, to changing your viewpoint.

It sounds like you're telling trust he should realize that he is wrong.

Opinions can be right or wrong. He didn't simply disagree with it.
