But Drake, it's the internet, why wouldn't any jokes be serious D:

Really, if you let everything everyone says about something you believe strongly about get to you and make you pissed off with the world, you need to disconnect from the internet, get rid of TV, etc etc. It's a cruel, tough world filled with plenty of people who say things bad like that. If you can't learn to live with it, or understand you won't be able to live without it, then, well, you're gonna do a lot of complaining in life :I

Just for the record, (I am NOT an advocate of Eugenics) Internet trolls should be made sterile, in addition to being barred from accessing electronic communications including the Internet. You can argue against that 'Draconian' level of punishment, but don't deny that they, like any man who just wants to watch the world burn, are worthless degenerates who have no place in society. I don't see much good in a person who has nothing better to do with their time than starting flame wars for the fun of watching people fight each other.

Yeah, well, I'm actually kind of ashamed to be omnivore, that I'm considering going vegetarian again, regardless of what my parents say.

Also, I hate how those people make dead animal jokes, but get so offended when misanthropes say they want to kill people. The difference is that the guys who say they want to kill humans are almost always bluffing, but the people who make dead animal jokes often aren't since what THEY say they will do is actually legal.
oh I don't know, because the people who make dead animal jokes usually DON'T follow through on what they're going to say? and when misanthropes make those sorts of jokes it is considered a threat, you know.

I agree. I know I used to (and sometimes still kinda do) say a lot of rather questionable things about animals and their rights, but I never killed anything much bigger than a Crane Fly. Not because I don't have the guts to kill things, but because of the repercussions of killing things that the general public holds dear. Just look at the Hawthorne, California incident with the Rottweiler that got shot by Police officers. Bastards are sending death threats to members of the Police Department, and their website has been denial-of-service attacked for more than a week. I'd probably have a mob outside my house if I killed a Dog, even if it were attacking me.

I think this thread has run its course and is on the verge of becoming offensive, so I'm just going to stop it here.
