I don't find this so hard to believe. The licence to inflict pain/humiliation/social restriction is a vital part of our society, it signifies authority and amalgamates our complex hierarchies. You yourself claim that would have 'kicked the crap out of them' for doing something you disagree with, Mario. Such would be an expression of your power over them, should you have been successful in doing so.
I know nothing of the case, but I would imagine that these lads have 'hierarchy' issues. Torturing these kittens probably made them feel powerful. Maybe they themselves are quite weak and 'authorityless' in human society, and so resort to inflicting pain on smaller creatures that won't fight back to vent some of their frustrations in being low on their own species' pecking order... Or maybe I'm full of shit and just wanking on about nothing.... [ 01-26-2005, 02:50 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ] |
It is abhorrent. If I ever see anyone doing this, I too would beat them to an inch from their life. If someone hurt Choc, I would kill them. Deadly serious. I would kill them.
I consider animals as important a lifeform as humans. No one should harm any. |

No, I've been on the 'the strong do bully the weak, and the really smart ones will call it 'righteousness' and 'justice' and convince the weak that it's in their best interests to accept their bullying' trip for a while now ;)
And I'm not implying that you're wrong for wanting to kick the crap out of them. Hell, I'd join you in doing so [img]smile.gif[/img] But not because of any flimsy, subjective sense of moral superiority, but because that's the way we want the world to be (ie: that the bottom-feeders of human society are not allowed to take their frustration out on cute, cuddly, fuzzy-wuzzy widdle kitty cats ;) ), and we'd make it so by the age-old technique of physical force [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 01-26-2005, 02:59 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ] |
People are bastards. Especially kids.
I would wholeheartedly beat the shit out these two individuals if I ever met them. They can stick their "hierarchy issues" if they have any. Sicko's. [ 01-26-2005, 03:00 AM: Message edited by: Sigmar ] |
Heh heh. No posts as yet to refute that violence is ever the law of the land :D

Do you know what the sad thing is?
I don't think it would bother me as much if they had set a person on fire. |

ps: sorry Memnoch, I don't mean to derail your thread. But we're touching on one of the few topics that actually hold my attention these days (the origin and nature of human social structures) and I'm really getting into this... [ 01-26-2005, 03:23 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ] |

I can't see jail reformatting their brains into the train of thought that makes them think that maybe, just maybe stompin' on said kitten was morally wrong, personally I'd say an ass-whupping would. |
