Blind man goes hunting!

WOW!  That's pretty intense and VERY cool that he's back out and doing things he loves!

[Rule]

Disgusting. 

[CrAz3D]

That he burned 80% of his body?  His crippled hand?  Way to be clear.

[Blaze]

It's good that someone who has been through all that, can do something he enjoys again.

[Rule]

I thought it was clear.  It's disgusting that some guy who is completely crippled, and couldn't possibly compete with these animals in the wild, is filled with joy to know that he's taking away life again.  "Here let me guide your gun in the direction of an animal -- you just pull the trigger and have the satisfication of killing it".  Our species, in general, sucks.

I'm not a huge proponent to hunting in general, but I don't take issue with this case in particular. I think it's great that he's getting out and doing what he loves, even if that's a vile act

[Rule]

I think this is much worse than regular people hunting (which is usually pretty bad).  And Camel, what if he enjoyed raping people?  "With technology these days, and the help of friends, I can do what I love again".

And Camel, what if he enjoyed raping people?

That's exactly the same logic for why I think hunting is vile. That's not to say I'm going to stop eating meat or anything, I just think that shooting a wild animal is cruel. But, as I've said before, I respect other peoples' ability to make their own informed decisions, and if he wants to put that on his conscience, then I'm not going to stop him.

I guess you could have just as well said this, then:

Animals aren't human, they dont have rights.





Now go eat a dead cow

That's totally insane. Farming animals is unimaginably more cruel than hunting. At least hunting it's one instance of pain and that's it (generally), you aren't imprisoning them their whole life and keeping them just alive enough to be food!

Yes, non-human animals aren't human.  It doesn't follow that they shouldn't be respected.  You are an animal, idiot.  When are you going to get kicked out of x86, btw?

They should be respected and well seasoned.

So it appears as though someone is showing you the member forums?  Sounds like an interesting breach of security

No-one had told me that.  Thanks for confirming the obvious though. lol!

Your all looking at it from the worst possible standpoint. What if he liked to golf? If they made some special equipment for him to go golfing again would your opinion change? I think that him trying to live his life like he used to is a wonderful thing, regardless of what he is doing. Kudos to him.
