Let's see, here's what I get from your posts
clearly you have atrocious powers of comprehending. Im a little saddened for you that you apparently either cant understand straight forward language or you choose to ignore it. But lets have a look at your little list shall we.
“did you not get the part when I said ‘and yes you will certainly have plenty of legitimate pets being killed if this goes through’? Note I DIDN’T say every wild cat should be a pet but that with this law youd CERTAINLY have ACTUAL pets being killed willy nilly and legally.”
You gotta love when someone doesn’t bother to read about when they were wrong in the first place and keeps saying the same mistake.
where did I say that exactly? maybe kittens don’t kill birds therefore the logic of this law shouldn’t apply to them. Cuteness doesn’t impress me in an animal frankly (maybe a girl).
[*]Even the collarless ones are pets!
once more with authority now…
“did you not get the part when I said ‘and yes you will certainly have plenty of legitimate pets being killed if this goes through’? Note I DIDN’T say every wild cat should be a pet but that with this law youd CERTAINLY have ACTUAL pets being killed willy nilly and legally.”
[*]You can't kill the kittens and cats!
clearly YOU can or we wouldn’t be arguing this now would we.
[*]Humans are too weak to deal with the awesome strength and power of a cat!
no humans just don’t care and would rather shoot them then spend some money and time and energy approaching the problem in a sane way that would actually work.
[*]Let's just bury our heads in the sand and pretend that the spay/neuter/release programs are working!
and you are of course a foremost authority on this? Please Im all ears Ms. Wild life expert. How is it again that you know that spay-neuter-release programs don’t work? Id love to see the evidence on that. And while yer at it since yer such a big advocate lets see the reams of evidence on how shooting them is a highly effective way of dealing with the huge problem of cats eating birds. I can show you a few studies that say just the opposite when yer done looking.
[*]I'm going to insult and threaten violence for anyone that doesn't agree with me because they're MEAN and CAT HATERS and must be STUPID!
not necessarily stupid. Just callous and ignorant. But your in good company. That describes millions of our citizens actually. Not to fear. As for getting all hot and bothered over the fire bombing comments lets take a few steps back to see if we can get a better grasp on this particular form of communication…
the ONLY thing shooting cats will do will end up in killing pets and then youll certainly have people getting shot in response. Theres some serious cat owners out there that wouldn’t take too kindly to people shooting their beloved pet. Personally id probably fire bomb your house and torch your car but im nice.
youll notice this is what literary aficionados call “hyperbole”. If im already getting ahead of you here just let me know and ill flesh out an easy definition for you. The point of the post was to point out that if you enact a law making it legal to shoot peoples pets then you will CERTAINLY wind up with many cases of enraged pet owners some of whom would be liable to do anything in the heat of the moment. Now… when I stated I would only fire bomb your house and torch your care because im NICE its ISNT actually meant to mean that people who fire bomb houses and torch cars are actually nice people… but instead is meant to exaggerate the point thus reinforcing the concept that some people will resort to doing awful things when their loved ones (including but not limited to pets) are shot for no reason by a neighbor. In this case fire bombing a house is more “nice” then shooting you in the face. K? Now should we be creating laws that encourage people to shoot each other when there are much better alternatives to it? Generally, local, state and federal legislators try to avoid making any law that would only serve to encourage escalating emotional situations in which mortality may result ESPECIALLY if there is a better alternative. Capisci? Now, do you plan on ignoring this and whining a third time about this particular issue or we on the same page now? And by the way I was just kidding about the torching your car part…
You sure put me in my place with that "punch in the nose".
Beats a knee to the groin eh? That’s what I was expecting back.
and yes I agree with your assesment.
Im male. We stop maturing mentally once we hit 15. and if someone chooses to antagonize us with bad information and small minded thinking a lot of us jump all over it.
If you want to see what an adult discussion of differing ideas is like, read back to chcr's posts about dogs hunting animals. He didn't react like a crybaby and I conceded my point. You see how that works?
so yer saying youll concede your points if I shmooz with you and act like I don’t really care about the issue? What an interesting admission. Why get into it at all if you are already prepared to concede your points? Generally one responds to something because they know what they speak is the truth. Its not some weird social dance to see how the other will react. I posted this because its important to me. If you have a problem with the concept of any given issue being meaningful to someone then you probably shouldn’t be on a message board to be honest.
