What a sick sonofabitch.

God made us caretakers of our animal family members.

Which animals are those?

They are like eternal children and require our care and love.

How are they like "eternal children"?

What is your basis for those statements? Personal opinions? Tradition? Scripture?

[RockinRight]

Nothing wrong with older women. Although at 21 he still has a lot of maturing to do - 25 and 34, or 31 and 40, or what have you, would be much less of an issue than 21 and 30.

LOL. What took you so long? Yours was post 14, and so entirely predictable.

Every animal abuse thread has this same post. It must be simply God-awful to turn around and see aborted babies wherever you go.

Which animals are those?

Cats and dogs primarily. But see the quote from St. Francis of Assisi at #10 for a general statement of our responsibility.

How are they like "eternal children"?

When we take on a pet, we stunt its growth as a "feral" animal. They don't ever grow up, since they don't learn to hunt or forage. They are children for their entire lives.

What is your basis for those statements? Personal opinions? Tradition? Scripture?

Yes.

This guys mistake was not taping the head back on the Kitten and selling it to the blind boy in the neighborhood. Just like what they did to the bird in "Dumb and Dumber". See what perversion Hollyweird Movies make our criminals do? Television gives many criminals their first introduction into crime. Walt Disney made me commit my very first crime at a very young and impressionable age. I would never have had the idea to do it, until I saw it done on TV.

"Nothing wrong with older women."


Older women, make beautiful lovers
Older women, they understand
I've been around some, and I have discovered
That older women know just how to please a man.

(Verse)
Everybody seems to love those younger women
From eighteen on up to twenty-five
Well I love 'em too, but I'm tellin' you
Learnin' how to really love, takes a little time.

(Verse)
So baby don't you worry about growin' older
Those young girls ain't got nothin' in you
'Cause it takes some livin', to get good at givin'
And givin' love is just where you could teach them a thing or two.

It IS God AWFUL that we as a country kill our unborn. Don't like my post don't read it.

[newgeezer]

see the quote from St. Francis of Assisi at #10 for a general statement of our responsibility.

Yeah, I saw that, and it left me with the same question. "Any of God's creatures" would seem to include chipmunks, mice, rats, snakes, spiders, ... So, I also have to wonder how you feel about mousetraps, flyswatters, etc. I suppose it's conceivable that my dispensing a quick death to them is showing them "compassion and pity." But, is it okay to put out D-CON to control mice and/or rats? How would you feel about my drowning them?

They are children for their entire lives.

You believe they're "eternal"? If so, on what do you base such a belief? Please be specific.

[dmz]

We, as a country, do not kill our unborn. That is an individual making that decision.

[swain_forkbeard]

"Hurting or killing a pet...is the same as hurting or killing a 3 year old child."

I hope you're joking or at least exaggerating your position. Really.

[swain_forkbeard]

So why no penalty for killing a cow?

[swain_forkbeard]

Your argument consists of foul language and name-calling.

I didn't even assert a position. I asked two questions.

Why did those questions irritate you so much? Does it make you uncomfortable to think about how you feel and why?

[Fawn]

I thought when they kill cows and chickens they don't suffer....at least i hope not.....Why do you think it's ok to torture defensless animals when you feel like it?

CHeck this out:

AIRMAN JAILED FOR STABBING WIFES DOG

[swain_forkbeard]

Some people keep hamsters, some fish. There are beekeepers and people who like snakes. Some adore their birds.

So was the punishment for killing a cat, or for killing someone's pet, or for destroying someone's property?

[tioga]

Our laws allow for the killing of the unborn, therefore our country supports the legal right to kill our unborn.....I have no delusions that our "country" is not responsible.

I have a demorcatic Catholic MIL who disclaims any responsibility. She wouldn't vote on this issue and she sits and claims that SHE does not condone abortion and it is not her sin or responsibility. She consciously chooses to disregard a candidate's position on abortion when she votes. She claims it will not matter. I think it will matter when one faces Jesus on our judgment day. Just my own opinion and I act accordingly.

Our "country" sins. America is not perfect, nor innocent.

[freedumb2003]

This isn't a Crevo thread -- if you want to go torture kittens, have at it.

[freedumb2003]

No -- I think that hurting a pet is the same as hurting a child.

[swain_forkbeard]

"Why do you think it's ok to torture defensless animals when you feel like it?"

How did you get that idea? Because I asked two questions?

[newgeezer]

I hope you're joking or at least exaggerating your position. Really.

It seems he's dead serious. I mean, he said if someone were to hurt his cat, he would prefer to kill the offender.

My initial thought was that he must be a wiccan.
