Because I've never seen a cat write a poem or describe a sun rise that's why a human matters more than a cat. Admittedly I find cats more pleasant company than a lot of humans mostly because of the stupid crap those humans do. Josh you've either got a very unusual world view or you are trolling with this thread either way I'm out.
Please for the love of god. Stop arguing with stupidity. He is devious. He will drag you down to his level then beat you with experience. You cannot win using stupidity as the voice of reason.
I find it extremely interesting how nobody has joined my side of the debate. Have the haters scared them off with their numbers early on in the thread? There is probably a ton of people who were just too worried to voice their true opinion, after all, this topic had good potential for a 50-50 back and forth debate
I'm the one who is too stupid for you? I clearly laid out my ethics, beliefs, and views throughout the thread, so you're probably not on the same page as me, metaphorically speaking.
Your beliefs suck. You value cats over humans, you believe murder is okay if you have some ******** reason, Jesus Christ and I'm not even religious lord please help this man
In the defence of the OP, there's a prominent Australian philosopher, whose name eludes me, that shares similar views on the value of animal lives. Maybe researching that would help you to understand the basis of the OPs argument; the man is famous, and shouldn't be too hard to find on the Internet.
Good potential?? Maybe you are alone in believing there is no true place for justice and retribution in the world. You are a total nut job. No sane person would agree with your attitude to allow criminals to be released so absurdly early after a mild slap on the wrist. You do not represent justice or reform. You represent everything wrong with bleeding heart imbeciles that think the world is candy floss and everyone is good at heart. Sorry. Some of us just want to kill fairies because they are annoying idiots that get in the way of more important things. But when it's your family or you that's killed remember I'm having a bad day. It wasn't my fault and while you have no life anymore I'm out in five months pissing on your grave. Dumb ass hippy
For me, it isn't really the value of animal lives that bothers me. I value animals but not above the lives of (most) humans. I feel that those who abuse animals should receive harsh punishment also. What bothers me about OP is his leniency for cruel acts of murder.
-Oreo: I'm not religious either, so that's at least one belief we share. Also, why did you say I need help? Can't you see I'm perfectly fine?
You may not need help, but you're beliefs are nothing like anyone else's I've ever seen, and probably unlike almost everyone's in the world. But you can believe what you'd like
1. I'm not insane, I'm sane and not a total nut job 2. I never said the world is all happy and EVERYONE has good intent; I mentioned earier that I thought people with incurable mental diseases and repeating offenders should receive the death penalty. (unless I tried to post that and it failed) 3. I'm not dumb, I've got all AP classes 4. I'm not a hippie, I know today is November 10th, 2014 5. "...But when it's your family or you that gets killed..." I'm not that close with my family and they would probably laugh at my funeral if I died, except my cats. I love my cats and my cats love me. I see 5 things wrong with your statement
So your family is crap that makes it ok for people to kill them? Mess with my family and you had better pray the devil opens the gates of heel for you because it would be the safest place for anyone that stupid. And even that wouldn't stop me exacting vengeance. Eye for an eye. Life for a life. Take a life and you have no right to live in society ever. That was the killers choice when he took a life. Either live within the socially accepted norm or there is no place for you. Murder **** theft vandalism etc are never acceptable. Amongst many other crimes and locking the scum off our streets making them safer for decent people is all that matters. Don't like it. Go live in cloud coo coo land
You're close with humans that are related to you? I wonder what that would be like... well, anyways, murder, robbery, and other crimes have been against the law for years, but it is unfair to punish those with a valid reason on why they did what they did
