Debating the issue has become irrelevant as neither of our opinions will be changed.YOU can be as closed-minded as you like, I on the other hand would change my opinion if it were logically proven to be ill-founded. You argue how its immoral, I argu...  [Read More]

Do as you wish. I could continue to posts reasons why fox hunting shouldn't be banned, but it's as equally pointless as you continuing to post why hunting should be banned.Fox hunting being the major subject of the thread, one must conclude that you...  [Read More]

Debating the morals of fox hunting is pointless. Your opinion won't change and neither will mine.I don't debate to change the opinions of people like you. However, you need to ask yourselves the real reason why fox hunting was banned.I'm not intere...  [Read More]

Your saying that fox hunting is not a form of pest control as it is not efficient.I'm saying that fox hunting isn't pest control because it doesn't control the pests. It's like stamping on three cockroaches. It won't clear your house out. All it does...  [Read More]

Since when did the definition of pest control become dependant Ah-ah, nobody but you has used the word "definition". Pest control is merely a dry, clinical culling of species we dislike. It must necessarily be efficient, therefore, or it is...  [Read More]

Having read this thread, I can see nearly all the arguments regarding cloning laid out very neatly... But I feel the most damning argument against cloning is the risk of immoral usage on the part of scientists. But let's be honest and clear: Scienti...  [Read More]
