Haha, this just reminded me that a little while ago, I saw a missing cat sign hanging up in my library. Then two days later, there was a new sign next to the missing cat sign that said "Jason, Mittens was delicious," and had an arrow pointing to the other sign and a picture of a microwave with a cat in it. It was awesome.

No.

I have a small but dwindling hope that this thread will return to an actual discussion of the morality of the original scenario. How about posting your thoughts in addition to obvious one-liners about cats tasting good.

To be fair, Pshreck eventually did some of this, preceded by a lot of innuendo and evasion. But I know this is OOT, so proceed with the pablum...

It deteriorated so quickly because the original post was so ridiculously stupoid, and was so initially obvious that you're a raving wackjob, that no one could be bothered.

One liners about cat killing is really all this thread deserves.

edit: i hope someone buries fluffy alive up to his neck so he can be eaten alive by fireants.

OK, fair enough. I like the mature (because you're older and more mature, right?) deliberate goading that you actively went back and added.

So here's a new question: what would you consider to be a just and moral punishment for deliberately murdering my cat? I'm not asking what the law says, I'm asking what you think is right (though they could be the same).

pshreck · #27 05-21-2005, 03:10 PM

A sizeable fine, possibly community service, maybe a class on animal cruelty. Thats about it.

Also, please specify where the insanity comes in:

1) It is insane to love a cat, not as property but as a companion living being
2) It is insane to punish intentional murder with torture and murder.
3) The punishment is just but the consequences are too severe to make it worthwhile.

1) I guess I'm just insane then.
2) It is the intentionality that does it for me. The active will to kill for no reason but pleasure/desire, to me, is worthy of severe punishment.
3) I am not concerned with practical consequences, only with justice. This is called adherence to principles; you may claim that my principles are flawed but then you should address 1) or 2).

Please notice how I am using logic, clearly stating what I believe, and actually discussing the issue at hand. Pretty mature, huh?!?

Why are you still posting in this thread? You came off as a nutcase in your original post, and then whined about not having a serious discussion, on something that is so ridiculous that even OOT wont seriously discuss. I am now pissed for even having humored you. It is insane and immoral to murder a HUMAN as justice for murdering a CAT. Get it?
