This is what we've become? He who has the biggest public emotional reaction wins??
Not to mention the witch hunt that is now in hot pursuit.
Jimmy Kimmel... Jackass.

    Nah, he wouldn't do that. It's probably off his 'moral compass' whatever the hell that is.

    I don't agree. You don't say why those things are wrong. Your assertion doesn't mean anything.

    What the heck's wrong with prostitution. Not my cup of tea, but if it's consensual, what's it to you.

    You deny that Allied Forces were fighting to beat back tyranny??? Where did you learn history? If you paid for that education, you should demand a refund.

    Please give examples of my profoundly biased and/or incorrect historical facts. Would love to hear where you think I misspoke.

    And, I did not hijack post (ironic as you're parachuting in with this comment). The post had to do with killing an animal purely for sport/trophy. In addition to all the other things it is, it's a moral issue, and that fact led to the expansion of the discussion. Much like a post about a single taker on welfare could lead to a larger discussion about the immorality of redistribution of income.

    Your grasp of historical fact is so profoundly biased and ignorant as to make any discussion with you much like that of two school children yelling 'Am too', 'Am not' types of conversations.

    And your continued 'hi-jacking' of other's posts in order to proselytize your beliefs over reason continues to make me wonder why in the hell you continue on this site, other than to confuse the real issues being discussed or to simply troll. This post is about an idiot entertainer expressing an opinion about something he knows nothing about and has no experience in.

    Gawd! Can somebody give this guy an AMYN!

    Trolls always have an agenda counter to the goals of the sites they Occupy. Lately, drowning is more often seen around here, than drinking.

    Killing has never been solely connected to just food and safety. It's always involved sport, manhood rituals, religious sacrifices, vengeance, torture, witch testing, and I'm righter than you are arguments.

    Killing is not humane. It always involved pain, blood and gore, nobody knows if the lure was specifically for Cecil or just the first male lion to come to it, and lions have been hunted and killed with arrows and spears for many thousands of years and as such nearly always involves tracking down the wounded animal, the same as it does for deer and elk and bear in this country.

    Time for my favorite quote:

    "Most people can’t think, most of the remainder won’t think, the small fraction who do think mostly can’t do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self -delusion— in the long run, these are the only people who count." —Robert A. Heinlein

    Someone's opened the gate to the religionist, the believers, the ultra-conservatives, the reality deniers, the deluded, and the posters for points. They've forgotten that the site is intended for those drawn to Objectivism.

    Zulu (?) tribesmen, for thousands of years in a manhood ritual, as a boy had to go into the savannah by himself armed only with a spear and a shield to find, confront, and kill a lion in order to transition to a man in the tribe. I'm not too certain that some of them might still do the same. Unless one is starving, you don't eat predator meat. It's tough, stringy, tastes like s$$t, and is full of parasites.

    Killing animals has been a part of man's life since we made the step up to predation, past scavenging. This nonsense of why we kill animals is PC crap from PETA (shoes, clothing, medical testing, food, etc), the Humane Society, and NAPCA BS that we've let seep throughout our society. We are humans--we get to kill animals and pests.

    Killing wild animals only to eat is more nonsense. By the time you figure in the costs of guns, ammo, silly camouflage hunting clothes, the trip, the cost to process and make edible if it's a male, your license or fees--it's pretty expensive meat. You're actually hunting for entertainment or trophy, or you wouldn't take a picture of yourself with your kill or mount your buck horns or have your biggest bass stuffed.

    I hunt, I fish, I trap--I don't try to PC it. I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks about it.

    Again, Hitler was not a Christian or Catholic. This have been voluminously documented as has his abolition of Christianity from the public square. He actually had Christian song lyrics changed to reference himself and the Nazi state.

    If you don't mind spotlighting your ignorance of the subject, please continue, but you're lack of historical knowledge is embarrassing.

    Says the person spouting historical inaccuracies... if you ever learn the actual facts about these topics you raise, you will be profoundly embarrassed for yourself.

    Says the person with apparently no historical knowledge of America's founding or the foundational principles of Western Civilization... this must be what it feels like to debate Obama.
