who is your favourite player and why

[sloandog]

I am not sure why you would think it is ok to kick an animal to death for no other purpose than enjoyment. Violence towards animals is often a precursor of violence towards humans. Animal cruelty is not a sign of a healthy individual.

Agreed

[ZIMDOGGY]

how could you get enjoymentout of that?

For arguments sake. Why would it be okay to kill a bug and not a cat. when the MOTIVE is exactly the same. You are not going to eat it and you are not killing it because it is injured and won't survive and hence saving it from pain. You are killing this bug because you ENJOY it.

If it was an ant or a bug, then yeah there's nothing wrong with that

I am GUESSING that the logic you are using here is that there are
(a) Lots of ants and bugs hence its okay to kill a few
(b) Ants and bugs are "less equal" than other animals/insects.

Are you serious?

I'm not buying into the previous...but i hv heard stories about taylor

My favourite current player is... Chamu Chibhabha

The reasons are as follows:

His name is Chamunorwa Justice Chibhabha...the meaning of that is awesome!!

His hair cut!! How many dudes can relax their hair and still look that cool?!?!

He works hard

Pretty close behind in terms of current favourites are tatenda and vusi

Are you serious?

I am DEAD serious and I posed an argument which I see you have shied away from.

For the record I DON"T agree with what Taylor did. But I am posing a counter argument (Say if I was I Taylor) to those who would think its okay to kill ants and bugs for FUN.

My arguement is that, It is NOT okay to kill ANY living creature for SHEER ENJOYMENT (Whether its an insect or an elephant).

WHY?

Violence towards animals is often a precursor of violence towards humans

for the very reason Eugene has stated. I made my argument cos some think its okay to kill ants and bugs etc.

I am not sure why you would think it is ok to kick an animal to death for no other purpose than enjoyment.

You are killing this bug because you ENJOY it.

Maybe you misunderstood the use of this statement. After reading it again it may have seemed like I am saying I enjoyed it. No I am stating a fact that the only Motive for killing this animal is because the person doing it enjoys it not because of any other reason. Hence it is WRONG.

Indeed, are you serious. Some people do house breaking. Others pillage, rape and murder. All are crimes. But are all these the same?

[bayhaus]

Indeed, are you serious.

I believe all creatures are the same, so in that light I am very serious and I would be concerned if someone kills and Ant or a small animal for their ENJOYMENT!

But are all these the same?

The MOTIVE is the same, give that person an opportunity and he will pillage, let him be successful at house breaking and he will degenerate into worse things. That dude who pillaged is the same dude whole stole sweets at a corner store and his mom said its okay its just two sweets.

My Question still remains, What makes it OKAY to kill bugs and ants but not small animals or large ones at that. I think the reason ya'll dont want to address the question is that you probably never really thought about it.

And we are here because of my favourite player Brendon Taylor.

You've dug a hole here mate, you fill it up

LOL Dont worry. It was just something for ya'll to think about.
Here are my two shovel fulls to fill up the hole. Dead and Buried! No hard feelings across the board?!

[eugene]

No problem Bayhaus. I think we can all agree that Brendan Taylor is a great batsman.
