"kaeli" wrote in message ... In article , enlightened us with... 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 |
