ivet Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Today in English, our teacher asked us a very indepth question that could be simpler but depending on your personal way of thinking could also be difficult to choose. So what what do you think and explain why you think this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yea what the hell, easy question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well, that's what it seems like but it's not as simple as you think. The class was pretty divided... Some saying "fuck PETA, they're making a big deal out everything blah blah blah" "a person's life is more important than an animal..." ya know...

Josh42 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm not a huge supporter of PETA, but come on, if they're trying to stop animals from being tortured then good for them. How often do people accidentally kill someone? Not much, and there's not much we can do to prevent it, aside from making cars safer and stuff. Torturing animals, on the other hand, can be stopped, and it's usually a sign of a mental disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 what you do intentionally for bad reasons is always worse than what could happen accidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Michael Vick lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 This was all sparked when we were talking about M. Vick who's playing his first NFL game tonight alongside the Eagles after being in jail for two years for being involved in the torturing of animals and all that shit and on another NFL player D. Stallworth who was drunk driving in Miami and killed a man, he only got a few days and jail and blah blah blah...... im just wondering... i'm on the animals side...

Josh42 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 DRUNK DRIVING ISN'T ACCIDENTAL. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Drunk driving and killing a person is far worse than torturing animals, because you made a poor decision. I fucking hate drunk drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yeah I really dislike M. Vick. It sickens me over what he did, and I don't think he should be getting a second chance at all. Although I'm not much of a football fan so what am I to say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsSeverusSnape Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Intentionally torturing animals. Those ppl should DIE. accidently :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivet Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Mhm, all these guys were like saying a person's life is more important than an animals life..blah blah blah... PETA is dumb making a storm in a glass of water. They need to cool it...blah blah blah This girl was getting super mad... and i also learned what "veal" is... :sick: i'm not a PETA follower either but we humans do a lot of messed up shit to animals all the time... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I voted the wrong way, since you didn't clarify. Drunk driving and killing someone is worse than torturing animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well I mean, it's not only that, it's overall...that was the question that was asked Which is worse; intentionally torturing an animal or accidentally killing a person? It doesn't zero into drunk driving, it's overall accidental deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yes but drunk driving isn't completely accidental, because you're making a poor decision which is putting other lives in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You might agree that it's awful to torture animals but a lot of you will have killed animals on purpose. Slugs, spiders, flies and moths are all animals you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt. Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Everything is about intention, IMO. That's the thing that irks me most about suspensions in sports, particularly hockey. Someone goes and does something dangerous as fuck... but no one gets hurt... short suspension. Someone else does something that is still not acceptable... but not nearly as bad. But some stroke of bad luck, the injury is worse... long ass suspension. That makes no f'in sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickahidalgo Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Intentionally doing something, when you know it is wrong, seems worse. Because if you accidentally do something, then really it is your fault, but it's not in a way, because you didn't mean to do it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
