Your statement that cats are not people is very much in line with my

view.
Its your choice in attacking the individual and not discussing the

viewpoint
itself. Mind you if you had a rational explanation to justify your

position
you would have used it. Just saying something is wrong and shouldn't

EVER
(bold characters for dramatic effect) happen is not a rational

discussion.


devil's advocate
So, I need to jusify that murder is wrong with rationality? I can't just
say it is morally wrong in and of itself? How about child abuse? Do I
need to justify that beating a child is just plain wrong? How about
those people that dragged a dog behind their car? Do we need to explain
to them why that's aborrhent or can we tell them they're sick f***s?
/devil's advocate


point taken, however my original posting said not to hurt the animal which
should have put my statement into the correct context...
'you have to train them. gently, firmly but don't hurt them tho.
they aint toys, they are animals. so dont hurt them but they shouldn't hurt
you either.'

Note that I think there is a huge difference between flicking a cat's
nose and hitting it and am not going into *that* whole debate. *g*


oh NO ! thats unfair to noses ! why descriminate against the poor nose,
what's it done to you ?

seriously tho, yes I agree totally. as I said ages ago, I used the wrong
word although in the context used it should have been OK. Its the
connotation of the word not what I said that's caused the problem I think.
Sadly we live in a world of political correctness where nobody ever gives
anyone the benefit of the doubt and takes the worst case scenario from any
posting.

ohhh, they are sick f****s by the way
