[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7092883, member: 549629"] The 'generalization'. So, you think pro athlete's work effort they put into their career justifies the millions of dollars they make as compared to the work effort the rest of us put into ours to make our $50k a year, $100k a year, etc? Pro athletes dont make the money they do because they've worked that much harder than us, they make it because they worked hard, and just happen to be naturally gifted, at a talent that our society rewards with fame and fortune. As for the sport hunting, I did say hunting for sport is a far cry from brutalizing animals, systematically, over long periods of time. But that's certainly not saying I agree with hunting for sport. I guess if I was to say **** is not as heinous as murder, you'd assume I agree with raping someone. You even went so far as to add the 'hunting dogs for sport' part because you appear, like misfit, to think I hold dogs to a higher standard than other animals, which I also never said. If you must alter what Ive said to make it appear more extreme, maybe that should be a sign your argument against what I actually have said is too weak to stand on its own merits. So I'll turn the tables and ask you, do you feel that hunting for sport, as in shooting and killing a deer just to take its antlers, is just as immoral as beating, torturing, starving dogs over their entire lifetime?
