"Everybody agrees with me, therefore I'm right" is not a real argument. Every one of your posts just makes you seem that much more clueless.
you aren't worth my time anymore.

continue on digging your hole... without me.
Turn tail and run.:roll:



What are you an idiot? Do you not recongize the fact this is a socially deviant activity and is not to be encouraged?


he is not engouraging it. he is providing proof that killing a mouse is not going to lead to the guy being a mass murderer.

Wow got a bunch of geniuses here... Its sick behavior hands down why even continue arguing about it?

It begs the question... have you ever partaken in or done anything like this?

fixed.

They're pests by your definition. Great. People who break into other people's houses WITH malicious intent are pests, yet our society doesn't condone these people to death if it's for robbery or a misdemeaner. But by your definition innocent animals who are just trying to find a safe haven are worthy of being killed, not even bothered to be relocated, while people who enter your home for the sole purpose of robbing it should be forgiven from death because robbing is not criminal enough for the death penalty, while the actions of a few rodents are.

The fatal flaw in all that ELF BS is the assumption that human life is no more valuable than that of an animal.

It is impossible to argue logically with someone who believes that, I just take comfort in knowing that the vast majority of the world knows better.

I smashed a huge spider right outside the doorstep in our garage. I refuse to clean it up. I leave it as a warning to all the other spiders who think my home is a "nice place to raise a family".

That was my point all along. And why is malicious human life more valuable than an animal's? I'm not talking about the general population. They can carry on their lives for all I care. But I guess someone like you can't be "logically argued" against to differentiate.

rodent!=human.

i do not feel bad (ok a little they are kinda cute) when i kill a mouse for my snake. I do not feel to bad when i kill a mouse that gets in my house (living in the country they are everywhere). They are pest. they carry disease and can cause major destruction.


I agree the OP's friend is a sick fvck and i would stay away from him.

i scanned but didn't read the whole thing, is this a pet store mouse/white mouse or a wild mouse? not that it matters, that is a bad sign, he is going to become a serial killer soon

I guess a person who steals a $20,000 car from you isn't qualified as dealing "major destruction" and sentencable to death. If this were the case (and it is), then shouldn't one logically assume that a rodent, who can arguably not deal nearly as much damage, be even less deserving of death? And yet that is not the case.

What kind of huge spiders could you have in the Carolinas?
