we are still killing a life form...

so whats the difference?
It's conditioning. It's how we're raised to believe right and wrong. I agree, to a point, about killing animals. But insects ... not so much. Insects don't have the same kind of emotional attachments and personalities as humans and most animals do. Insects run almost purely off instincts; sometimes killing humans which in turn, doesn't that make them murderers?
If a poisonous snake or insect bit someone you loved and they died, wouldn't you want that insect dead?
If a dog decided it didn't like the color of your skin and bit you to the point you became disfigured, wouldn't you want the dog removed from society? Or would you rather we let them live and chance it happening again, or be worse the second time?
Provoked or not, killing isn't right. But, there are some cases where it just has to happen.

I was just thinking of this! I was showering saw an ant who was carrying another dead ant and something inside me refused myself to kill it.

It depends IMHO, A person should die if they PURPOSELY killed someone and they weren't heavy under drugs or alchol.

I don't think anyone should say who gets to live or die. Even if it's capital punishment. People in southeast Asia have been sentenced to death because they were caught with drugs in airports. Is that fair? No... I don't think so. Leave the murderers and rapists to rot in their cells.

Oh... it's really different over here!
I want my effing sunglasses
I was in Minneapolis about a month ago and about to buy them! And then I was counting my money and *thought* I was ten dollars short... I wasn't. It was stuffed at the bottom of my wallet

Re: The Official Nonsense Thread - 2qewl4u - 12-10-2009 10:50 PM
They're pretty cool. I look silly wearing sunglasses. But if I were to buy a pair, I would choose to get Ray ban classics {yes} they fit me best XD
