Re: Hunting

Wat. I completely accept your right to your opinion, Just saying personally I don't think (morally) hunting is "right" in most cases (You seem to think my views are WRONG AND NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT RAWR >:L). If ignorance is involved here, your thought of my opinion is that it's ignorant, however I am not, since I'm just defending my side. You're calling me ignorant because the subject is something you're VERY supportive of, so you're getting very defensive, a bit too much imo.
It's not a discussion when you start calling other people out.. Before that, we were just expressing both sides, the way a discussion should be. Once the flaming shows up it turns from a discussion into an argument.
Damn right I'm getting defensive. It's not that I don't respect others' opinions, it's that your not willing to look at another's point of view.
Which by that I mean:
I myself have weighed both sides quite evenly, and given you respectable arguments on the "for" partition of the argument.
You've simply suggested you strongly disagree with my opinion without so much as a lick of thought
or, if you have given it thought, a lick of argumentable fact on your side on the debate.
My argument: Mass production of meat is
torture in every sense of the word. We as humans are meat eaters (
unless your vegetarian/vegan, in which case I have the up most respect for you standing up for what you believe in in a way that makes
sense [eat what you sow]) as you well know from your time spent in grocery stores. If you want meat, why would you rather eat a
tortured animal than one you know you put down as humanely as possible? If you don't like the prospect of field dressing, well that's okay, but don't say hunting is
evil because it's too gross for you. Ignorance is bliss; when you see nicely packaged meat, you don't realize the
torture the animal had been put through. We are animals and just like mountain cats, we have the option of gathering our food the way nature intended it. Nature also gave us one advantage - considering we are physically retarded - which would be superior intelligence above the rest of our brethren. This includes the ability to makes tools to help us achieve what we need and gives us the freedom of
deciding what's right and what's wrong.
Your argument: I was raised this way. Shooting animals is evil and should never be considered an option above grocery.
Your argument is lacking depth and doesn't weight any arguments. It is, in the proper definition of the word,
ignorance. Actually fairly
weigh the grocery vs hunting arguments for me, please.
