I still don't get it why people of other countries can't leave us alone and don't try to interfiere with our way of being? Oh gee, maybe it's because you're killing something just for entertainment? Gosh, could that perhaps have something to do with it? Sorry to be so passionate about this, but I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how people could be so callous and cavalier about the death of an animal. (And yes, folks, I have the same feelings about sport hunting in the US.) Maybe that could be written off a couple of hundred years ago as ignorance and human pride, but now, in the 21st century, don't you think it just might be time to move a little beyond such a barbaric and needless practice? Heck, if this is okay, why stop here? Why not bring back the gladiatorial games and have guys fight to the death for your amusement? Maybe the victor could wear the ear of his victim there as well, right? Shoot, I can see an entirely new thrust to Nike's "just do it" ads. Not much difference, Virus, no matter how you dress it up and pretend otherwise. Now, if you can possibly explain to me the rationale behind this, I'm more than willing to listen. But you're gonna have to be damn persuasive and give me more than "well, that's just the way it is".
