Sure you can. Cp is something that complicit people are still willing to share. Generating and distributing fake non consenting porn of people doesn't need to be covered by the first amendment. Decide as a society that it's fucking gross and should be illegal and then treat violations of the laws created against it harshly.
What does that have to do with what constitutes food? Food is what is eaten for sustenance. Sharks eat animals. No they don't reflect on the morality of it but that has nothing to do with the reality that sharks eat animals for food. Animals are food. When you talk all carnivores and parasites and such out of feeding on animals then we can say that animals are not food. Us having the capacity and the will to be morally selective about our choice of food doesn't make animals not food.
Actually if you think you are making a valid coherent point please go into further detail. As I see it what they call or don't call what they eat doesn't change what it fundamentally is. Shark food is animals. Translate that into shark if you like but the meaning doesn't change.
"No-one has talked about culling at any point."
As in you literally said that.
If I took a side it was the side that culling is the practical method of managing deer. You assumed that I was disagreeing with you when I was just pointing out that you misunderstood that person.
Work on your reading skills because I did give you an example of an "other way". Additionally work on your reasoning skills because me providing another way is off topic. And you already said yourself that culling was not the only way to manage deer population. You are contradicting yourself. You have to pick if you acknowledge that there are other ways, like you said previously or if you think that you have made some great point now about how there is no other conceivable way.
The postulate is that shooting deer is the practical acceptable solution to managing deer population. The necessity of deer management being a fact is closely related but distinct from making the connection to a method.
Read. I did give an alternative.
You thought I was disagreeing with you when I wasn't. I've said from the start that deer culling is the practical way to manage deer population and that harvesting their meet is the commendable thing to do along with it. Calm down. Read. Learn to behave in a civil manner, especially if you want to go about implying other people are acting like kids.
Cool so shooting deer, like you where originally mentioning, does count as culling. And the type of population management that you started the conversation with is shooting deer. So when you said that no one was talking about culling that was nonsense wasn't it? Because you were talking about culling.
Culling is an option for population management, one that you brought up and the one that the joke was referencing, but as you said yourself culling isn't the only option of population management. Strange that you didn't mention any other methods to manage population. Was that because you were pulling it out of your ass too?
Now you still seem confused. I'm not saying that deer management is not necessary. I'm not saying that culling is the only method. I did say that it is the most practical but I don't think your reading skills caught that. Since you think offering an alternative method is important for some reason then how about sterilization? Wildly impractical but that would do the trick.
You are making the case that because it's a fact that deer must be managed and that shooting them is the major practical method to achieve that goal, that it's a good thing or at least a necessary thing to shoot deer. Shooting deer to manage the population. That's a postulate. The line of reasoning that takes you from acknowledging a problem to selecting a solution. The hypothesis advanced as a premise of a train of thought.
You know for some that seems to get pretty upset about people ignoring major points or conversations you do it a lot.
What is the distinction that makes shooting deer not culling?
Shooting deer, ya know? LIke you were talking about before you linked deer management.
The capital of Montana is Helena. That's a fact. Verifiable, irrefutable, fact. Thought I'd mention that since you keep stating facts that no one is trying to refute.
So what is the distinction that makes shooting deer not culling?
I did talk about the argument at hand.
"There is a postulate. The postulate is that shooting is the course of action to be taken to achieve population management."
Deer population control is necessary but shooting deer is not the only way to achieve it. I think it's the only practical way but it's not the only way. The postulate, or premise of a train of reasoning, that you proposed was hunting deer and commendably not wasting what could be harvested from them. Go with the denotation.
It seems like you are avoiding acknowledging that shooting deer for population management is culling. So someone did at some point talk about it. Right?
There is a postulate. The postulate is that shooting is the course of action to be taken to achieve population management.
I think you are still not getting their meaning. Given a species that has a negative impact on ecology the postulate is that the appropriate response is to cull that species. A pragmatic stance. But when generalized instead of specifying deer and when taking into consideration the negative impact that large populations of humans have we get to the "thin ice". Yes it's still deflecting from addressing your point but they were not denying the damage that deer can do and a postulate was made.
You missed the joke they were making. It's not questioning if deer have an ecological impact, it's about what to do with species that have a negative ecological impact. The thin ice being that if we apply that logic to deer then what if it's applied to us.
Then what exactly were you addressing? You haven't made the intent of your initial comment clear at all. SeaJ said that what the guy did was fucked up and deserves more jail time. What does that have to do with your comment? He didn't say anything about the sentencing for the others.
Sure you can. Cp is something that complicit people are still willing to share. Generating and distributing fake non consenting porn of people doesn't need to be covered by the first amendment.
