1) You said "we live in a society that personifies animals and dehumanises foreigners". You didn't refer to "part" of that society, you referred to society itself. 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Lake 3) Still waiting for someone to tell me regarding these unfortunate faceless (not nameless, they all have names) tide of immigrants at Calais... how many "safe" countries did they pass through to get to Calais and why do they want to come here? |

i honestly don't care about either. but maybe i'm desensitized from watching too many hollywood movies, and listening to too much popular music, and playing too many video games.

I'm also not sure why them having passed through other safe countries to come here is relevant, in any way, to whether or not they deserve to die. I think you also want the answer to be "benefits" but that is in fact not the answer at all, it's much more commonly because Britain has an absolutely thriving off-the-books shadow economy where these people can find work (often for less than half of minimum wage) and can stay off the radar. A shadow economy that is growing rapidly thanks to Tory cuts, actually. |

TS, I don't think you're jealous of me. It's just that at every opportunity you refer to my education so please, don't infer that I started this. I never refer to your education and only did today because your first comment said maybe I've been out of education too long and I'm creaky and rusty. You do it a lot... and I'm bored with it.
Now we're down to arguing semantics. I've said my piece on this. We disagree. Full stop. |

Not for any particular reason but I was more upset at the news of the lion being killed. Possibly because I found it more shocking that a man would pay a lot of money to kill a creature, or because it was a purposeful death whereas the migrant dying was an accident (I think anyway)

And the fact that this guy paid a five figure sum to kill a lion is completely obscene. An amount that an entire family could live on comfortably for a year in the UK and for a hell of a lot longer in Africa. That's a whole different thread about the effects of capitalism, consumerism and decadence though. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 29-07-2015 at 12:17 PM. |

Because I am a human and human life is more important to me, not in 100% of cases but in general

It's not about a hierarchy, I just value human life more because I am one and am able to have different and more in depth relationships with other humans. That's not to say I don't value animal life at all

I don't know anyone on here's actual age so I just guess based on random information. If it helps, I added 5 years for being a Tory and another 5 because you always wear suits.
Also, it could be worse, until recently I had LT in his late 50s, and my TiBB world fell apart when The Truth mentioned having siblings with young kids, because I thought he was about 70. |
