But in this topic I have to agree in principle with Zen, its just so not black and white. Outwardly killing, can be discussed, and debated, but we forget the fumes from our cars, the pollution that kills, its just such a huge topic, I do think its good that people have their views and want to stick to it, and i admire the perceptions people have on here for not wanting to harm any form of life. I think intent is the most important thing to me, in terms of who I am and what I want to give/take from this planet, I think most topics here really have been covered, so im not adding anything new, interesting what you say earthF about the dairy though, having worked on a dairy farm i can tell ya a few stories. lol. But it made my point that it is more than just "killing" an animal, you dont have to kill an animal to harm it in my view, and i also think the population could do with being culled also lol (metaphorically speaking) but who decides on what is or what isnt right, or who stays or who goes. we all have our own journeys, its what makes us free, free to choise, to learn and to grow. Hopefully as the earth learns and our souls learn with each new incarnation the world will elevate to a place that is the world we would want now. great threads been really interesting thanks jade [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 7/07/07 7:38 mel, by saying we should never be ashamed of who we are od what we do etc i meant by our decisions in life and taking the path we chose to take.... i would be ashamed if for instance i found a member of my family or a friend were murderers or rapists etc . but thats a whole different ball game, what i meant (for example) is many a time i have been walking alone in town , minding my own business,doing my shopping etc and some group of teens (usually boys) shout 'freak / goth etc ..... at me, why should i be ashamed of who i am? but at some points it has upset me to the point of going straight back to the car and going home. what i'm getting at is, why should squinney be ashamed of what he does if that is his path? my dad does much the same and works alongside a gamekeeper, one day on his way home from a shoot, a woman stopped her car wound her window down and shouted at my dad that he was a murderer and that he should be ashamed of himself.... what right had she got, to do that without asking why? before she said it.? i'm not having a go by the way, but why should people like my dad and squinney be ashamed of what they do when all they are trying to do is help nature regrowth? squinney... are you a member of BASC? me and dad are... its the british association for shooting AND conservation , their website is worth a look as it explains why . sorry!! i hope i haven't upset anyone, its just a subject that touches a few nerves with me, mel can i ask what environment you live in? eg country,town, city etc? blessings and love to all sam x [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
