Peta Rules!

throwing a kitten or kicking a puppy?

answer the poll, and give reasons.

convince me I am wrong.

what do you mean by better?

more satifying of ones base impulses? kicking a puppy

better outcome for the animal? throwing a kitten

better all around? not abusing animals.

throwing a kitten or kicking a puppy?

answer the poll, and give reasons.

convince me I am wrong.

throwing a kitten, they (almost) always land on their feet.

This thread is evil.

*Throws kitteh at Smunk*

i would tend not to abuse animals, but if i had to do one or the other i would throw a kitten, it'll probably land on it's feet and it'll be light enough to suffer no physical ill effects from the ordeal, hopefully.

Not abusing animals.

Throwing a kitten. It'll be fine.

As long as you don't throw it at a fan, or something.

Not abusing animals.

that's convincing me I am right, not that I am wrong.........

Smunkee, you make me so sad.

Ha! My thread now!

PETA RULES!

*kicks a gay man*

yes, this is better than animal abuse!

*kicks a gay man*

Now you're acting like a true Christian!

This thread is evil.

*Throws kitteh at Smunk*

:p I thought I would add some levity to the forum, you guys aren't much fun though

*ducks kitteh*

*fails*

OH THE CLAWZ THE CLAWZ!

that's convincing me I am right, not that I am wrong.........

Abusing anything weaker than you or incapable of understanding that you're being nasty to it is evil. To my mind, only miserable losers who need to feel superior by hurting something harmless would consider such a thing.

Now you're acting like a true Christian!

but abusing things that are larger than you or smarter than you is okay?

because Fass is most likely somewhat smarter than me.

Agreed.

That's the wrong smilie. This is the proper one: http://bibleforums.org/forum/images/smilies/praying.gif

Kicking a puppy will probably be funnier.

This thread needs more :p

I can't tell who is being serious and who isn't.

Anyway, I haven't thrown a kitten or a kicked a puppy. So I can't really comment.

I have, however, thrown a dog. A medium sized one. And it did land on its feet, but that's probably because I couldn't throw her very far.

... I had my reasons... several hours of making a divine chocolate with butter icing, followed by 30 seconds of taking my eye off it, in which the dog starts licking the cake often offends.

So just be glad that she escaped with only literally being thrown out of the house for several hours as opposed to me force feeding her the rest of the cake in the hope that she'd die of poisoning.

no physical abuse of animals...

I've tossed kittens...

I've tossed cats...

the important part however, is catching them before they hit the ground. :p

That was quite possibly the most confusing thread steal I've seen.

it doesn't mather how far you throw them, the trick is to throw them with their feet high or at the same hight as their body, that way they can't land on their feet. Cats on the other hand can turn in the air, so when throwing a cat you shouldn't throw them as far as possible but try to find the distance in which you can inflict the greatest amount of damage while still not giving the cat or kitten enough time to turn.

I gained a lot of experience in the field of pet-throwing during my 4 years of training in the Himalaya with master-pet-thrower Zhou Thong. Some of the most fruitful years of my life so far.

here, a pic of 4 cats falling:

Very true, but how, exactly, is throwing a kitten in any way damaging to the kitten. It could be argued that it is an activity that is conducive to the kitten developing the required sense of balance and spatial awareness that a cat needs when it is a full grown hunter.
In the wild, litters of all the cat family engage in mock fighting and similar trial and error learning behaviour. To take a kitten away from its peer group and then not provide it with the requisite stimulus for it to develop its abilities is far more cruel than treating it with loving "kindness".

You are dealing with an animal that needs to develop its instincts, not with a china doll.

Kicking a puppy. Actually, kicking any dog that barks at you, but anyway, hurting cats is evil.

Agreed.

Hmmm... I'm up at arms on this one...

On one hand, if I throw a kitten, it probably won't get hurt. Therefore it won't satisfy my urge to hurt something (assuming this is the reason I have to decide to either kick a puppy or throw a kitten), but it will make me feel better about myself as a whole.

On the other hand, if I kick a puppy, I'll feel better because I satisfied my urge to hurt something (plus I don't really like dogs anyways), but I'll feel absolutely terrible about it afterwards, especially if the puppy's owner sues me.

So I'll elect to throw the kitten at the puppy. :D

Hmmmm would never kick a dog... and it doesnt specify where your throwing the cat from...ill asume its from the top of big ben or down a firing range:sniper:...n yes i do hate cats lol

Peta Rules!

I love adblock.

but abusing things that are larger than you or smarter than you is okay?

because Fass is most likely somewhat smarter than me.

The smarter can cut you to ribbons with their wit, the larger can squash you like a bug. Therefore abusing them is, on top of being evil, incredibly stupid.

Except if they're Swedes who like insulting all Christians. Then you gotta cut them some slack, like a kid, cos they just don't know any better. ;)

Peta Rules!
hawt

Though I'm not an especially huge fan of peta itself. I agree with much of their philosophy, but I largely disagree with their method of advertising their philosophy.

Except if they're Swedes who like insulting all Christians. Then you gotta cut them some slack, like a kid, cos they just don't know any better. ;)

Or they are adults who can see Christianity for the evil, hateful nonsense that it is, and happen to have the Bible as proof thereof. :)

what the bouncy balls is this thing doing still on the first page?

hmmmmmmm


interesting



see, i'm an animal lover, i'll admit it


HOWEVER


i bet no one here would have any qualms about squashing a spider or crushing a roach


yet, they're no different than a fuzzy lil kitty or a cutie lil puppy


other than the personification that WE humans place upon the pups and kitts that we DON'T place upon insects and other animals


then one could make the argument that there's a difference between insects and mammals


but then, when you really think of it, other than biological differences, there aren't any MORAL differences between kicking a cute puppy or crushing an ugly moth


hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, something to ponder to all those peta loving fans


:p

Or they are adults who can see Christianity for the evil, hateful nonsense that it is, and happen to have the Bible as proof thereof. :)


AMEN!!!!!!! ;)

what the bouncy balls is this thing doing still on the first page?I think it is the OP. Posting pictures of two guys making out is the easiest way to keep a thread on the first page of NSG.

Of course they are. Kittens and puppies are mammalian quadrupeds with fur and warm blood.

Spiders are arachnids with 8 legs, and roaches are insects with six legs and carapaces.

Kittens and puppies that we find inside our domiciles were invited to be there.

Insects and arachnids usually are not invited guests. Roaches usually spread disease, and some spider species are quite dangerous for their venom.

This is why the Orkin man comes to kill the creepy crawlies -- whereas we don't have someone come to spray the house to kill cats and dogs in it.

Don't be silly.

Or they are adults who can see Christianity for the evil, hateful nonsense that it is, and happen to have the Bible as proof thereof. :)

So funny that these "adults" are doing all the hating and attacking and the evil Christians here are... not?

Hmmmmmmm.

humans spread diseases as well.................

So funny that these "adults" are doing all the hating and attacking and the evil Christians here are... not?

Hmmmmmmm.


there is an inherent undercurrent of hate and intolerance in christianity itself


therefore, the very act of being "christian" consitutes, well, hatred and intolerance


and in my book, that equals evil



alas, that is off subject for this forum


perhaps a new thread could address this issue


in the meantime, back to those cute lil pups and kitts

Since cats always land on their feet... I suppose it'd be worse to kick a puppy.

Besides, cats are awesome, and dogs are dumb.

there is an inherent undercurrent of hate and intolerance in christianity itself
no there isn't.

....what about kicking/throwing a politician?

Or petting Katganistan's avatar?

Well, im not for abusing animals because well i'd feel horrible about it. Except for including but not limited roaches, spiders, and mosquitoes.

If i had a gun to my head on this though, i'd throw a kitten.....on to a lot of pillows :p

I would rather not abuse animals, especially not baby animals.

Insects and arachnids (spiders) are a different story; I have no objection to stepping on or swatting insects and arachnids, especially if they're poisonous. In fact someone I know almost DIED recently from being bitten by a brown recluse.

And, as Cookesland said, roaches and mosquitoes.

But as for kittens and puppies, I don't have the heart to willingly abuse them. Just too cute.

If i had a gun to my head on this though, i'd throw a kitten.....on to a lot of pillows

Agreed. If I HAD to throw a kitten or puppy, I would want it to be onto something soft that wouldn't hurt it very much, if at all.

....what about kicking/throwing a politician?

Oooooohhh, YEEEEEEEEAH man. Sounds really exciting, not to mention stress-relieving.

(*starts making plans to kick and/or throw assorted members of Congress*) lol

....what about kicking/throwing a politician?and get dirty politician all over yourself?

whooooo! kitten tossing!! one of the best death sports out there... right next to russian roulette with fully loaded revolver...

JOIN PAETA (People Against the Ethical Treatment of Animals)

JOIN PAEATA (People Against the Ethical Treatment of Animals)You seem to have forgotten a word. I'll give you a hint, it begins with an A, and is between Ethical and Treatment.

Anyways, it appears that Fass has completely stolen this thread as General lists him as the Thread Creator now. That leaves me with just one sentence for Smunkee: All your thread are belong to Fass.

Hm. I'm a dog person, so I'd chuck the kitten. :p Besides, as some have noted, kittens are resilient and probably wouldn't be badly hurt.

There's no crime you'll be committin'
I know the law, you can kill a kitten

(Stephen Lynch, for the uninitiated.)

In fact someone I know almost DIED recently from being bitten by a brown recluse.

And I've heard of people who've died from being bitten by dogs--nonetheless, I'm not about to start summarily squashing dogs. (Mostly because I like them, but also because that'd make a hell of a mess.)

On a related note, I have a friend who routinely throws his kittens at people who've pissed him off. As it turns out, kittens are really sharp.

And don't forget to JOIN PETA: PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS!

You probably *don't* know someone who almost died from being bitten by a brown recluse. Doctors can rarely, if ever, tell what kind of insect bit you, and many of them just say "brown recluse" regardless what *really* bit you, even if you don't live anywhere near a brown recluse habitat. As a fan of insects, that fact kind of annoys me. :p

This thread is evil.

I am against animal abuse...

But PETA is poos.

Abusing anything weaker than you or incapable of understanding that you're being nasty to it is evil. To my mind, only miserable losers who need to feel superior by hurting something harmless would consider such a thing.

Agreed and when I do see animal abuse, my mind tend to go blank and I give the abuser the taste of his own medicine. I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would take such defenseless animals that only want your love & care and just abuse them in any way possible.

what kind of stupid cocksucker says stupid shit like that!!! :mad:

The cat's status in my local cultural status = as an equivalent to beer nuts.

Probably someone having a bit of fun with the thread. Relax.

instinctually kittens don't learn how to hunt by having some dumbass tossing them around, cause with that rationale you having descending from a cave man means you need to be hit with a club, to help hone your survival skills. (I'd be happy to help) :sniper:

I agree with Fass, gay vegetarians wearing no tops and kissing in public is the best option.

How can they be gay vegans? Don't they eat meat? :confused:

You didn't need that part. :)

Fassigen, I don't like how your poll associates stance against animal rights with personally wanting to kick a dog and/or throw a cat. Also, one has to wonder if someone who wants to do either would even necessarily consider it "abusing" animals.

That said, however, I don't like seeing the PETA rally being mixed with gay pride either; I'm in favour of gay rights and against animal rights, gays are humans after all (though personally, I don't consider homosexuality a big deal anyway) and when I see the two being associated with each other, whether by rallies like that or by labels like "liberal" or "conservative" it almost makes it look like they're comparing gays to animals...

This is blatantly untrue. It's clear that you haven't owned many kittens.

But as for kittens and puppies, I don't have the heart to willingly abuse them. Just too cute.I don't know where you come from, but I don't consider cuteness an adequate defence against abuse. If you don't want to be abused then you'll have to come up wioth something better than simply looking cute.

woo zippo cat.

PETA can go to hell, the organisations one giant hypocritical pile of crap.

Frankly put, humans are animals to.

what kind of stupid cocksucker says stupid shit like that!!! :mad:

:fluffle: I wasn't serious
I'm a vegetarian and while I don't really like dogs or cats or most other animals I do my best not to hurt them.

nope. They get their protien from meat, but they don't 'EAT' meat.

(quick smunk, take their names down and report them to Peta and the Humane Society!) :p

I have to say Kicking your puppy - but that's because of the text-sex thing :p

My mistake, I thought that the thread was partly about the people in the picture who were both gay rights activists and animal rights activists as I saw something about them on YouTube as well. You say NOW that the thread is a joke but you didn't at the time; wouldn't not calling it a joke be technically (albeit not directly) claiming that it wasn't?

Smunkee, you're about the last person I would expect to post something this morbid.

But seriously, throwing a kitten. My cat hates EVERYONE now because my friends and I wanted to play keep away from my sister...who the cat technically belongs to...

You forgot bunny-punching...

Ah well, I suppose I'd rather throw a kitten, especially if I can throw it at someone.

On boring weekends I like to go around town picking up all the free baby animals people are giving away and then I throw them off the overpass onto the freeway at oncoming traffic.

Who really cares? They are just animals. They can't feel pain and don't have emotions or souls so it doesn't matter.

I also like to poison pigeons in the park.

I also like to poison pigeons in the park.

that's one of my favorite songs!

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Everything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel* or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strych'nine
We feed to a pigeon.
(It just takes a smidgin!)
To poison a pigeon in the park.

curiously one of my other favorite songs is about dead puppies.

Can we have our next anniversary party at Dr Dementos house?

I throw my neighbour's cat all the time ¬¬ Mostly out the damn door because the bloody thing wanders into my house as though it owns it whenever someone opens the door even a little and I have smaller animals running free inside. Yes, I hold the life of my reptiles above the welfare of a cat belonging to someone who can't keep it IN their house, ESPECIALLY knowing there are coyotes running around everywhere. Obviously he doesn't care, so why should I?
