Hunting

[Vuk]

Well, this is turning into a backroom thread. But my one piece of advice for Warman is: don't get Cheneyed!

Yeah, don't step in front of someone's shotgun! ;)

I kill animals all the time for all sorts of reasons. Af ly here, a spider there...
Now what makes killing a deer worse than killing a mosquito, except that the deer is bigger?

Because Bambi has FEELINGS.. Duh

So does Juarez the mosquito.

Proof

What about Jose?

[Whacker]

Insects are horrible ugly little spawns of satan and have no feelings. Cute fuzzy forest critters all have feelings and killing them is a hateful sin. You murderers.

[Husar]

But deer eat plants and trees and those also have feelings!
Here is a list of the plants they use to murder!

[Whacker]

Plants don't have feelings at all, you hippy!

Yea, then there won't be anymore Warman8

Someone goldmine this already. Oh, wait...

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

LOL. Something Beirut would post

Hey, they eat my gardens, I put holes in their heads (rabbits and groundhogs, use a .22 with a scope,sometimes without)

Also, a helpful tip for hunting in case that course doesn't cover it:

I'm not a hunter, but I will shoot at starlings in my yard.

Why, you ask? It's true, I don't use them for starling sandwiches. But starlings are an invasive species to North America, crowding out native species, upsetting the natural balance, and so I consider it my duty to wage ceaseless war against them in the form of shooting at them about a half dozen times a year.

I hunt and fish , but some of the creatures I shoot I would not eat .

awwww why?

[woad&fangs]

Why shoot squirrels? You're not telling us that you eat them, do you?
If you just shoot them for fun I don't have any sympathies for you.

Yep, I eat 'em and they're pretty tastey in stew. I have issues with people who hunt so they can brag about how big the animals they shot were.

Is it me or is he wearing a ATF hat


Yea, I can't stand people who "hunt" just for the trophy, or just to take a picture of it and leave it there.

LOL!! That really does surprise me! I thought you were anti-gun. Am I wrong or did you just have a change of heart? Don't take it the wrong way, but that really did surprise me. :P

Me:
Is killing animals wrong?
God:
The Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not kill.

Wrong. In Hebrew there were seperate words for "murder" and "kill". To them the distinction was important. The actual translation should be murder, not kill. ;)

Far as I know, the original language was Aramaic, and it read, "Thou shalt not do murder."

No, not Aramaic. Not the Ten Commandments. Very few passages of the Bible were written in Aramaic; most were written in Hebrew. You translation is correct, but it was not originally written in Aramaic.

EDIT: Did a search on Wiki and came up with this.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Aramaic occurs in four discrete places in the Hebrew Bible:

Ezra 4:8–6:18 and 7:12–26 — quotations of documents from the 5th century BCE concerning the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 2:4b–7:28 — five tales about Daniel and his colleagues, and an apocalyptic vision.
Jeremiah 10:11 — a single sentence in the middle of a Hebrew text denouncing idolatry.
Genesis 31:47 — translation of a Hebrew place-name.

[edit] Other occurrences, according to some scholars
Genesis 15:1 — the word במחזה (ba-maħaze, "in a vision"). According to the Zohar (I:88b), this word is Aramaic, as the usual Hebrew word would be במראה (ba-mar’e).
Numbers 23:10 — the word רבע (rôḇa‘, usually translated as "stock" or "fourth part"). Rabbi J.H. Hertz, in his commentary on this verse, cites an unnamed scholar's claim that this is an Aramaic word meaning "dust."
Job 36:2a — Rashi, in his commentary on this verse, states that this phrase is in Aramaic.

I believe that is accurate.

I vote this thread gets moved to the backroom and never spoken of again.

[Vuk]

lol, not that! I don't have Backroom access! (through no fault of my own :P;))

C'mon Kek, think of the ies

[Mithrandir]

Where do you live Kek?

I think hunting with bow and arrow is forbidden in Europe...

That said, I think killing just for fun is despicable.
