Actually, most people hunt for food. Not for sport. It's not like, say, watching lions eat Christians, which I'm sure you would take pleasure in.

Wouldn't it count for double points or something? (I don't know how hunting works, I'm going to heaven).
For somebody who doesn't believe in it, you're sure stuck on this Heaven thing, aren't you?

And animals are not 'for eating'. I'm not a vegetarian, and have no problem with eating meat, but you don't have some sort of god-given right to kill animals.
Most religions with a god include that god telling us that we have dominion over the animals. So yes, I do have a God-given right to kill and eat animals. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Quote:
Oh yeah, you're really adding to you're argument- "All life matters, except animals!" Yeah, go humans!
Why do you try to equate animal life with human life? If you eat meat, what's wrong with somebody killing and eating you? Your human life means no more than their life, does it?
Quote:
No wait, why stop with animals? Why not gays or jews or blacks? Why not kill everyone? You're better than them!
Well since the prejudiced remarks usually come from your side of the political spectrum, this isn't surprising -- especially since abortion was supported in its early stages because it would help "control" the black population in America.
Coming from the guy who values animals as much as humans (moreso if the humans are unborn), as he eats a hamburger.
Quote:
Abortions aren't nessecarilly "with malice".
Let me give you a hint. "Especially" doesn't mean "not without". Try reading over the definition a few times, I'm sure you'll understand it eventually.
Quote:
Besides, going into a country and purposefully bombing civilian areas despite it being a breach of International law (unlawful) seems to fit your definiton, but you're all for that kind of thing, right?
Um, no, I'm not actually "all for that kind of thing". Which is why I took part in Operation Iraqi Freedom, to rid the world of Saddam Hussein, who routinely arranged and supported such bombings of civilian areas. Whereas you cannot name one instance in the recent conflict where the United States and Coalition Forces have intentionally targetted civilians, can you? Didn't think so.

The dictionary is not exactly a guide to morality.
No, but it's the guide to definitions of words. They teach you "reference tools" in elementary school. That's the numbered grades.
Quote:
Besides, that's simply one definition. That's the activist's point- animals don't get the respect they deserve.
And my point is that animals don't deserve the respect that humans deserve.
Why is it that, for some reason, you try to turn every debate, on every subject, into some "those eeeevil Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemetic, bigoted, chouvanistic, xenophobic, narrow-minded religious fanatic zealots!" Can't you just debate?
