I'm in no way saying videogames influence people to do things, I was just comparing it to the satisfaction you get when you have your sniper rifle on someone and pull off a shot. I am saying that hunting is a fun thing to do. It is a normal thing that happens all over the country be it for fun or for food. To say it is "f'ed up in the head" is wrong though, it is just another hobby that some people will find offensive, just like any other controversial hobby i.e. fox hunting with hounds (which I'm against) or even any normal hobby that many enjoy, but many find offensive i.e. violent videogames

I get satisfaction when i pull off a head shot indeed, but that is because their is no guilt to cover the excitement, playing online dosent effect or harm anyone.

Killing a rabbit, or any other animal, i think it is normal that a feeling of guilt should follow, and those that dont feel it, are immoral, and i say that because it is against my morals.

I obviously know that peoples morals can differ, but its different to an opinion, i can understand a difference in an opinion, but morals are very sensitive issues and i dont think you should have to understand peoples morals, much as you dont have to understand mine.

About fow hunting, why are you against a group of dogs hunting down a fow? And dont say because its not fair on the fox because neither is a rabbit and a speeding bullet.

I don't like hurting animals in general. Hell, I don't even squish spiders, I catch them in a glass then release them outside. Same with wasps. I just don't like killing things irl.
In games, anything goes.

Foxes get attacked by dogs and are in pain before they die, rabbits don't even know that they're dead when they get shot.
It may be immorral to kill another living thing, but at the end of the day It's just a rabbit, I wouldn't have any feelings of guilt about it being dead.
Just because it is against your morals doesn't mean it's immoral, you just may be a bit more sensitive about other animals.
Anyway lets drop it, unless anyone else has anything to say, killing animals for fun may seem pointless to some, but it's what some people do and I don't think it's immoral, I think it just depends on WHAT you are hunting.

Yep, we gonna have to agree to disagree, which i knew i wouldnt be able to change your mind, just thought it was interesting what you thought of something i feel so strong about.

Hunting people/smart things= bad

Hunting little animals that don't know food from a rock=speeding up natural selection

Kernel Kev · 09-20-2007, 07:51 AM

Anyways, im bored of this now, cant be bothered to argue anymore.

I agree this discussion is gonna go nowhere, but just to answer your question, selection from humans is natural because we're part of nature.

So London is natural yeah.

Its man made, and man is natural so it means nature made London?

I dont think so.
