We banned that a while ago, you guy still kill animals and post the photos online with a smile on your face.

Edit: You're from Hong Kong! scratch my complaint.

Yeah we are.

Such a pity is it not? They really should bring that back. Oh, you know what? You Brits should also bring back ratting.

Now there was a real Gentleman's sport. Get yourself a big bag of good fine country rats. Get them all riled up and then get your faithful, fierce and tenacious terrier and throw them together in a ring in the back of a smoky pub. Aye, now there's a past time to remember. Right up there with the yule log, Christmas pudding, and cockfighting.

Sigh... I blame these Liberal governments for the wasteful abandonment of such fine British traditions.

Aye, and what a proud Welshman you would be if you could once again sit together with your friends in a circle and cheer on as two dogs maul each other limb from limb.

Please read sig.

It's more annoying when American trolls call me british rather than English.
I'm English.
Scottish people are Scottish
Irish people are Irish
German people are German

Texan people are Texan but you don't see me getting all fucking up in arms when people call me Amurikan now do ya?

Killing every and anything doesn't matter as it was going to die anyway; you are just changing the state of the energy and chemistry involved.

Everyone knows this.

Neckarb since you are a British Muslim you already know that it is OK to kill those who refuse to convert to Islam!

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, most of the verses of violence in the Quran are open-ended, meaning that the historical context is not embedded within the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.

Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. This proclivity toward violence - and Muhammad's own martial legacy - has left a trail of blood and tears across world history.

Fantastic. That's even better. Since you do not believe in God then you cannot have any morality. If you said this in the first place everything would have been cleared up a long time ago. Boy, I'd feel silly if I was actively arguing this thing for two hundred posts just to come to this point. :awe:

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read on here in days. Not believing in God does't stop me having a sense of morality. You've just made my block list. Goodbye ignorant fool.

just because a person is smart enough to question god does NOT mean he doesn't have a good moral value set..

I appreciate that it is, buuut the statement "Killing is fine" is not limited to killing to eat, it encompasses everything. Killing is not fine, it is necessary in certain circumstances IMO.
