Just venting on the absurdity of CS saying that Vick was punished for what he did because of racism.

That is not what I said. You made an assumption.

I said that punishing Vick for his wanton killing of animals is the correct action. Allowing others to get away with the wanton killing of animals is not.

That is where the racism lies.

I think I said, I make no effort to defend it. That's just the way it is for me.

That doesn't mean I'm ok with the rest, not at all just for me dogs are special. Brighteyes will confirm this.

I don't think that you are alone in this thought process.... If anyone else is willing to state their opinion, I'd love to hear it.

But from a morale aspect is it not wrong to torture creatures with malicious intent? The Vick case was not an instance of killing for food, clothing, etc - but for his own pleasure.

This is somewhat along the lines of what I am saying.

Killing for pleasure is wrong wether it is the "sport" of dog fighting, the "sport" of bullfighting, the "sport" of cockfighthing, or the "sport" of recreational hunting.

It's all people killing animals for pleasure. The result at the end is a dead animal. The only difference is the race/culture of those doing the killing.

cardsfanmd, I edited out your big laugh smiley. I believe you can have a discussion without resorting to name calling or using smileys as taunts.

Hey along these lines, Canada's "Great Seal Hunt" begins next month. That is where people paid by the Ministry of Fishing go out and club baby seals to death so the fishermen catch more fish.

Thousands of seal pups die during this time and no one cares.

So let me get this right Chris, you can call my call my behavior (which you know absolutely nothing of) "outlandish" and personally call me ridiculous (except you spelled it wrong) yet I can't post one of the laughing smilies that the site provides?

Are you treating me like this becasue I'm Italian??

They're really only killing the seals because of the pigment of their skin right?

I guess if we eat the seal afterwards it's ok?

The big laugh smiley is not to be used to laugh at the opinions of others. That's the rules of the forum. You weren't the first to get your post edited and you won't be the last.

maybe nfl teams should think twice about black qb's since vick and vince young haven't worked out so well.

Your point being???

I have belaboured my point with you already. It is clear you want to do nothing but insult and fight, and I am not really interested in that. When you feel you can converse rather than argue, we can revisit this more.

That's an entirely different discussion :D

My opinion is that hunting for food is okay. Hunting for sport is not.

Hunting for the preservation of food? I think the seals fall into the loophole.
