Whose cat? > Ah, the problem human have with death! Killing an innocent cat for no reason? Even killing for food (as with the slaughterhouses) serves a purpose (food/eating). Only 'humans' kill entirely without purpose (unless the purpose is defined to be 'pleasure'). This is so commonplace, that there is no reason to doubt it if someone says "I am going to kill Xxxx." Chances are, they are indeed planning to kill. Namaste, Omkara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some humans º(such as hunters), killing seems to be a pleasurable activity. Even ºchildren can be observed stepping on ants and pulling the wings off ºbutterflies. Isn't that a matter of perspective? Anyone with a little knowledge on diet and exercise would conclude most humans are killing themselves... The killing for pleasure was already a favorite in ancient Rome... I've known quite a few, agreeing with the arguments, yet admitting, that this "deal with suicide" for the sake of pleasure, was worth it... º ºWars are fought and it is considered "glorious" to have "the highest ºkill ratio" (medals are in fact awarded). Teenagers are killing one ºanother in school, and in the ghettos people are toting machine guns. Well, the senses and intellect numbed by what summarized, could be called "lifestyle" (media, diet, exercise etc.), not much of a surprise... º ºDespite the above, the list focuses on McDonald's and the 'evils' of ºeating a hamburger... it makes little sense, considering. Oh - things are related. Ever heard of this: "Conscience is like a saw - every time it is used, the teeth wear off a little - until none are left to feel". And according to some, that starts with insincerity... Joy and Light, Jan º ºNamaste, º ºOmkara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
