Great. Never got a chance to say since you locked it like lightning, but I need to say it anyway.

Ultra, god youre full of crap. 11 effing pages on how a human sperm/egg combo is a sacred life from the moment the two components meet, and should not be harmed, but as soon as someone expresses concern about the lives of fully developed mammals youre one of the first to jump on them.


How does saying:

Quote:


Eesh. The practice of aerial gunning itself sounds too cruel for hunting. Nix it.


Equate to 'jumping' on them?

That is all.

The specific idea of this topic is not "oh hunting in general is bad" but that "aerial gunning down wolves is overkill." We lost focus on that into a general "hunting is bad/wolves suck" two-sided argument.

Are we going to pick up the debate again? If so, do we really want to address what the topic was originally about, or should it become a hunting vs. save the animals debate? If the latter, it should probably become its own topic, since that is the majority of this discussion here and seems to warrant it rather than butchering this topic more than it already has.

They didn't demonstrate their point very well, but the people that jumped on this thread's point is this: If it was, say, emus and not wolves, nobody would care as much. It's biased in favor of wolves just because they're wolves.

That being said, I agree that helicopter hunting is cheap and ought to be outlawed for ALL animals, not just wolves because they're more popular.

I still say we should kill all the wolves.

I mean.... wow, this thread is still alive, or rather, alive again.


Why?

The thread being open, I don't know why. But it is unless there's a reason to shut it again.

As for your response, could you please explain in more depth what you mean by "I still say we should kill all the wolves"? It's not contributing to the discussion at present because it's not stating anything you haven't already said previously in the topic.

lol, Terg, This thread was locked for like a year and then unlocked and bumped for no reason.

It's not like there's a whole lot of conversation going on anyway =D

And everything I said in this thread was a joke except for this post and asking why this thread still exists.

In most of the tribes the two symbols for Body and Spirit are the Wolf and the Eagle. I guess that means this country protects the spirit, but not the body.

...

Wow, thats right on so many levels it just doesn't stop, ay?

I was just kidding around! - This is not an effective excuse for flaming. When you're just kidding, try to make your intent explicitly clear by saying so, including a "j/k," adding an appropriate smiley, or using some other method. If the staff interprets your statements as a deliberate attack, you can be warned. Having a bad day or other excuses don't work either.

I kinda wonder if you ever have seen this rule, Wonderbat. You seem to be under the impression that it's okay to say things that are obviously aimed at provoking people in a negative way. When someone says "Stop shooting wolves from helicopters," and you say, "KILL THEM FASTER!" that's not intelligent discussion nor is it especially clever banter, that's flaming. Then saying "it's a joke" suddenly makes it all better? For those of you who still have trouble understanding this, the correct answer is "no."

I'll save you the longer lecture. Just stop posting in this thread unless you have something more to contribute than "jokes", please.

A "funny" response would be,

"SMEAR THE BASTARDS WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING AND LOCK THEM IN A ROOM WITH ROSANNE!!! :crazy :crazy :crazy "

The issue is now closed, Hypershadow. Letting you get the last word in would not be fair.

Now, how about that helicopter wolf hunting? How much does it cost, does anybody know more about this? Have we run out of things to say, or have I killed the topic? 😛

What part of that did you not understand? I sympathize with you, but you're being almost as bad as what you're condemning. Don't post just to talk about that, please, I ask the same of you that I asked of Wonderbat: if you must post here, post something that contributes to the topic itself.

And yes, I'm aware that there is more of this bickering going on than any talking in the topic. Perhaps this thread's time is over. But time will tell that if it is finally allowed to go to page 2.

I realize that this comment might not add much to the topic, but ave you any idea how long it takes an MFC2 thread to get to the second page, especially since like three threads get posted in?

'K that's my bit peace

You're right, it doesn't add anything.

But you know what does add? Algebra.
I'm currently in geometry, and I'm prolyl doign calc or trig next year.

Can we change the topic to that? It's so delightful.
