Dude, is every author a hack in your opinion? Just thought it was funny since you called Rowling a hack not too long ago. I must agree that Da Vinci Code was poorly written, and it would not surprise me if is often given as an example of a poorly written novel in college courses. However Angels and Demons was much better written. Dan does take a lot of liberties with fact, which some would say take a lot of credibility away from his work, but then again I would not go calling H. G. Wells a hack just because Martians never really invaded earth. As long as Dan Brown isn't claiming to be an expert in the field of history (he isn't is he?) and sticks to writing fiction I don't have a problem with him.

Well, usually good things get said about you when you earn the good things to be said about you. Death is the exception to this rule, even the biggest jerk gets nice things said about him at his funeral. What I don't get is how somebody like James Brown dies, somebody who was very influential in his art, and it goes by without hardly hitting the news, but someone like Anna Nicole dies and it is all over the place. Sean, that is not entirely true, I am sure a lot of guys have muttered plenty of nice things about her while flipping through their magazines.

The whole thing is pretty retarded. I like how so many people are afraid of this, but yet there are so few people joining nuclear survival groups. If there were every going to be a nuclear attack on the US, guess what? You would very likely survive it. If it killed you you would be in the minority of the countries population, so unfortunate soul who live near the blast area. Your odds are extremely high that you will in fact live through a nuclear attack. Now, what happens during the next few days, that is the real question. I like how popular belief is that if it happened we wouldn't even know it because we would be dead so soon. So very untrue.

Sean, you are kind of going about this the wrong way, watching stupid films like Jesus camp. If you really want to understand conservative then try a non biased source. Even when you say not so much Christians but "Evangelicals", do you even understand what evangelicals are and what a broad range of groups that categorizes? You mentioned that your family was formerly Jehovah's witnesses, JWs are some of the creepiest people I have ever met. If you take JW to equal typical Christian you are going to have a skewed view of all Christians. You mentioned some woman saying Harry Potter was a warlock, probably she was very anti HP. Well I know a good deal of evangelical Christians who are big fans of Harry Potter, those people who are so quick to condemn HP know very little about the books. I find it funny that nobody condemned Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but Harry Potter gets all sorts of flak while both display witchcraft in a harmless way. I think the world has a very warped view of Christians these days because you have so many dolts running around condemning things like Harry Potter in the name of Christ. Poor bastard who is doing this has probably never even picket up a Bible (or he is hell bent on never touching anything other than the KJV) and has a completely twisted view of theology. It is very unfortunate for Christians everywhere that there are so many religious fanatics that run around passing judgment on everyone and everything. If they would look at the source material for Christianity, they would see that judging others is condemned. I don't blame you and others for having the opinions you do about Christianity given the example you have had. But watch out for biased sources like Jesus Camp that are bent on making Christians look like a bunch of creepy cultists.

Of course there is nothing wrong with that question Sean. What Number 20 said about Democrats aiming at the atheist crowd may be true. It is true that the Republicans aim at the Christian crowd for the most part. They don't literally claim to be God approved, it is more that they uphold traditional Christian beliefs. Such as being opposed to abortion (which is not a solely theistic stance) and being against gay marriage, and freedom to practice religion to name a few. Religious people will traditionally be Republican because the Republicans are interested in protecting the interests of religious people. Not because God comes down and gives them his stamp of approval. It is common sense really, you are going to vote for the guy who holds similar viewpoints to your own. Really when it comes down to it, if a voter is smart they will look at the person and his views and decide from there, rather than voting for him because he is in the Republican party. This is pretty ignorant, and yes, a lot of religious people fall into this trap.

"Merely" killing for sport, cruelly or unwisely ignoring other proper concerns is definitely wrong, but I would like to clarify that killing animals for sport is not wrong by itself in every instance. There are honorable and wise approaches to killing animals for sport, and we simply have to keep them in mind if we engage in such sport. (I personally don't hunt animals and never have, but I respect the tradition.)

By "merely killing them for sport" I meant to say, hunting and not taking, or wasteful and reckless hunting habits. I met a guy once who bragged about shooting over 150 small game birds in a day. He proudly showed me a picture of himself proudly holding his shotgun surrounded by dead birds. If you shoot a few of them you can go home and pluck them and cook them fair enough, but he kept going merely because he was enjoying himself, and he went way too far. The majority of those birds ended up being thrown away, if any were used for food at all. They are a pain to pluck so it is not like you can call up your friends and say I got a few two many do you want some? Because very few people are willing to do all that work for such a tiny amount of meat. You have guys who will hunt deer, and when they make a kill they will just leave it. You are only allowed a certain number a deer every year, by abandoning them and pretending you didn't get anything allows you to get a better deer later and lets you kill more. These types of hunters are reckless. You have a lot of guys who do things like this and it makes hunters in general look bad. Both of these examples are illegal and if somebody doing either of them were to get caught he would have a hefty fine and possible jail time, but you would be surprised how many people get away with things like this. By "merely killing them for sport" this is what type of behavior I was referring too.

Of course. Sorry again about the relative question, that was a personal hit, I wasn't really thinking when I wrote it. Personal attacks are stupid on the internet, I know nothing about you and you know nothing about me, and that is true for everyone here.

Back to the topic. I do agree with you of the treatment of animals that are raised for slaughtering, sometimes they are treated pretty awful. A lot of guys I have known who are hunters or fishers have a lot of respect for animals they kill and who make a point to be as waste less as possible (then again I know of some with no regard for the animals they kill). I am completely against pointless killing of animals, or merely killing them for sport. But I do not see a problem with killing them if you are going to eat them. I fish and that is essentially killing them for sport, but I also enjoy cooking them and eating them just as much as I enjoy catching them. I would rather eat the fish I catch than buy fish from the grocery store and support salmon farms which treat the fish very poorly.

Just to defend the Hitler comparison real quick, what is so laughable about it? I choose him because he is a historical figure who is attributed with mass killings. I have killed a good deal of fish in my life time, and I asked if that would make me like Hitler in the eyes of someone who equates animal life to human life. It was a fair enough comparison. Mass murder of humans vs. mass murder of animals. It has nothing to do with Hitler being a vegetarian. Why do you get so offended on his behalf? Relative of yours?

I didn't say I was offended. Where did I say I was offended? Thanks for putting words in my mouth. I believe I said it was funny because of the irony. I've always found it very ironic as well that Hitler was against the killing of animals but had no problem with executing human beings. You don't find it ironic and humorous that you're making a toungue-in-cheek comparison of yourself (and other meat eaters) to Hitler when Hitler's moral agenda was so far out of whack that he actually wouldn't kill an animal while simultaneously slaughtering humans? I wish we could keep this good-natured because I don't fault you for eating meat any more than I wish you wouldn't fault me for abstaining from that practice. So I really wish you wouldn't warp what I say.

Honestly, I have no problem with people who eat meat. Since the majority of the people in the world do, I'd be hard-pressed to find anybody I liked if I based my companionship based solely on their dietary habits. Honestly, the consumption of meat is a perfectly natural thing for humans to do. I don't believe the way in which meat is killed today fits in line with that instinct, though. And since I don't have to kill (note I didn't say murder this time) for my food and can still enjoy my burgers and hot dogs and chicken nuggets and sliced turkey without animals being involved, I choose to do that.

Gaffer, sorry, I guess my last post with asking if Hitler was your relative may have sounded a bit sharp. Okay, I understand your point about the irony now that you explained that he didn't like to kill animals but didn't mind killing people. I misunderstood, I thought you were saying that it was a stupid comparison because he was a vegetarian. I didn't mean to warp what you were saying, I just misunderstood it.

Of course every one in bias on the subject. And of course it looks weird when it is not what you see everyday. Nobody ever says that the statue of David's penis looks weird, it is uncircumcised (ironically). That is typically what an uncircumcised guy looks like. If you ever go to Greece or Rome you will see the same thing on statues everywhere. So from what I have heard, and from what I read on wikipedia, the only real valid reason for practicing modern day circumcision (other than for religion) is purely cosmetic.

Yes Rob, a life is a life what part of that don't you understand. Mark, I have no idea how old you are, but I am beginning to imagine you are quite young. There are leaps of differences between human and animal life. The fact that you see them as equal is a bit disturbing. In order to hold your point you are going to have to adjust certain standards that have been conditioned in you are a product of society. You are either going to have to raise the value of animal life to that of a human, or you are going to have to lower the value of human life to that of an animal. I assume you are a vegetarian, if you are not I find this even more disturbing. Either way for your line of reasoning a McDonald's might as well be serving human flesh. If you raise animal life to the value of a humans then you must find it very disturbing every time you walk down the street and see any sort of food service. When you walk down the grocery store isle and see a pack of frozen chicken legs they might as well be frozen human appendages. How does this not drive you mad? How could you ever be friends with anyone who eats or has ever eaten meat? It would be like being pals with a practicing cannibal. Anyone like myself (fishing is a big hobby of mine) you would have to equate with Hitler for the mass "murderings" I do.

If you lower human life to the level of a mere animal, then you have to have a very low opinion of your peers. If somebody you do not know dies you would treat this with the same indifference of somebody stepping on a bug. Seeing a small child get mowed down by a car would be no different to you than seeing a dead cat on the side of the road. The picture Sean posted of the cat would have the same affect on you as that of a picture of a bleeding human corps.

My guess is that neither of these is the case, if they were I don't see how you could function in society. I imagine you have some middle ground you have compromised on. I still think you would have a difficult time fitting in with society.

Okay, the difference between animal and human life: Can a mouse build a mousetrap? No. It uses its instincts. It is all instincts. The cat will use the same methods over and over and over again while trying to catch a mouse. Cats don't display emotion. If two cats live in the same home for many years and one dies, the other will hardly even notice it. Its corps could be in the same room for a number of days and the cat would react to it with indifference. Put the same situation with two humans, and the experience would be tramatizing. Having your friend or roommate die, then being in the same room with his body for a few days. When the mother of your dog dies, your dog doesn't even really care. If they were close, then maybe he will whine for a day or two and look sad. But he will be over it in a week. A human looses his mother, it can take a year before he gets back on a solid track in life, and he could very well live the rest of his life without getting over the trauma. These are some very minor examples of the differences between humans and animals. This could go on for ever and in much more detail. There is a very distinct difference. Do animals love? Do they cry? Do they communicate anywhere near the level humans are capable of communicating on? Can they think for themselves? Can they plan, design, and build? Can they dream? Can they hope? Can they be inspired? Can they draw? Can they write books? When a pack of animals is being chased by a lion and one gets caught, do the others stop and risk their lives to help it? Humans do. Why? Can you seriously not see the distinction?

EDIT: Yeah, I agree Rob. He very well be taking the piss. At least I hope so.

How so? I believe life is life, and all should be treated equal. We need to share the planet, and not own it.

Are you joking? I am going to assume you are. There is something extremely dicked up when people start seriously equating animal life with that of a humans. A life is a life? That means if you run over a puppy (on accident) it is no different than running over a child? In that case eating a BigMac might as well be cannibalism. When a cat kills a mouse are we going to put the thing on trial for murder? We need to share our planet, not own it? In nature animals eat other animals, why is it so evil for humans to eat animals? By this line of thought, you are saying a typically guy who likes to go hunting ones a year is as menacing as the D.C. sniper. Or a forest fire is as much of a tradgedy as the Oklahoma City bombing. I seriously hope people are not starting to think this way. If they do then society is in for a hell of a mess.

I like that because you don't like Tiptup's opinions he is ignorant and uneducated. You were the one being irrational. But I still don't see how the guys education has anything to do with it. Just because he doesn't believe some guy deserves the death penalty (and not just him but his whole family) for clubbing a seal doesn't mean he is uneducated. All the guy did was say he thought the murder and rape of his family in front of him was a bit of an extreme judgment. I think putting an animal life at a higher value than a whole family of humans is pretty ignorant and uneducated, but hey, that is just me.
