Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

The affidavit says an FBI employee posing as a possible hit man later began email correspondence with Lowell, and she offered him $730 in jewelry or cash for the killing of a victim of at least 12 years but "preferably 14 years old or older" outside a library near a playground in her hometown.



Well at least she had some sense of decency.:S

Once again it's a case of liberals asking you to do what they say, not what they do.



No. It's a case of one, very small, very specific group of people, doing something and it being reported with a heavy amount of bias by another very small, very specific group of people, that is against them.

Wow. I was expecting a weak argument from the far leftists on this site, but I didn't expect it to be anywhere near this weak.

How about this argument: What your hit piece failed to mention is that PETA doesn't run an animal shelter. They basically run a euthanasia service for other local shelters. When an animal gets to PETA, it has pretty much been decided that it is unadoptable. PETA chooses to provide this service because the alternative is either the animal living out its life in a cage, or being released onto the street to fend for itself. I believe PETA's opinion is that humane euthanasia is ethically preferable. I agree.

it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

They have an annual budget of 34 million. That's every year, you're telling me they can't build a shelter?

No, because they spend that money on big time celebrities (if Alecia Silverstone counts) and protests bitching about other companies that do the same thing they do...kill animals. Not only do they bitch they destroy property as well.

They only difference is the other companies then use parts or all of the animal to make products which benefit humans, where as they just burn the bodies and they benefit no one.
So again, how is that not hypocritical?

For the same reason Ford doesn't build a shelter. They're not in the sheltering business.

I'm pretty sure PETA spokespeople are volunteers. I could be wrong about this, but I doubt it. Please show me PETA protests of humane pet euthanasia. I'd love to see that. All killings are not equal.

Seriously? What would you have them do with the euthanized cats, dogs, and other pets? Make purses out of them? You'd be on here faster than shit to criticize them for that. There are no US animal shelters use euthanized pets to make products. That would be a little sick, don't you think?

Do you support the death penalty?

Outcome = Death

How about abortion?

Outcome = Death

Are soldier who kill in combat murderers?

Outcome = Death

Are you in favor of making murder legal?

No

Still think all killing is equal?

Yes



So, if a criminal rapes and kills a woman, that's bad.
But if the woman shoots and kills the criminal who is trying to rape and kill her, that's equally bad?

Wrong.

The thing that's wrong with your view is that you're looking only at the final result, and not at who the people are that are dying, and why they're dying.

All deaths are equal only in that they are deaths.
All deaths are not equal in the reasons and judgements about why they got that way.

The death of an innocent is a tragedy, that they didn't ask for.
The death of a violent criminal is justice, that they knew was possible outcome of their behavior and voluntarily chose to continue anyway.

You are missing my point completely.

A dead murdering scumbag and a dead child killed by that murdering scumbag are both equally dead,

Don't read further into what I am saying.

Fur companies are killing animals within the letter of the law.

PETA attacks these companies because the FEEL it is wrong, They destroy property and businesses.

They also kill animals letft and right. Thousands a year. This is also legal.

I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of it, as stated in my original point.

For the record I'm vehemently pro-life and vehemently pro death penalty.

Maybe you should try to relate what you are saying to the thread. Right now, it looks like you are saying that it doesn't matter how something ended up dead, only that it did. That's a ridiculous position, as has been pointed out. If your position is more nuanced, please educate us.
