Maybe he doesn't know how to be very social with people. Most people who aren't good with people, I've encountered, think, if something doesn't bother them, it won't bother others.

Trust me. I have 0 social skills. But i do know right from wrong. I'd expect that from most people. Although age might make someone post something immature if they think it would be funny.

My sentiments exactly. This thread has devolved bigtime.

But how is what he did, wrong? He did something that disgusted many people, that is it. What he did, is on the same level, as someone letting out a nasty fart at the dinner table.
I'm not a fanatic. Every time I said the torturing and killing of animals, I meant the torture and killing of animals. I have nothing against the killing of animals if it is necessary(like for survival or food if there are no super markets you can go to). If a bear breaks into your house and threatens your family, nothing wrong with killing the bear. I have nothing against people who eat cheeseburgers unless the cows were tortured first. The torture part is what I'm against, and then killing them afterwards is insult to injury because all they got to experience from life was pain. I have nothing against farmers etc.

And you wouldn't consider that wrong? Most people with social skills know how to behave in public. So you can fart at your own dinner table (when you're alone), but normally you wouldn't do that at your best friend's wedding. In the same way you can be interested in photos of dead animals, but asking for them in a public forum is at least a little distastful.

can you please move this out of this tread? if you have such burning feelings for this topic then create a new thread and take it there, this is derailed enough now. And a fanatic is a person who see a issue in black and white only - a ultimate truth and everything else is wrong - so far you have proven to be so. also to have double standard - I am sure the cow "volunteered" to be cheeseburger. Now I am done with you, take this elsewhere please.

I agree that calling him a douchebag wasn't very nice, but I can't see that Bavarian enticed people to say bad things about Licurg. And about him not knowing better: He might have been surprised about the reactions at first, but long after first people complained, he asked for bloodier photos and refused entries that tried to participate in a more sensible way.
Of course it is his giveaway and he can do whatever he likes, but in my eyes he crossed the line for what is appropriate for a public forum (at least for a gaming forum, wouldn't mind if we were in a hunting forum).

No, that is not the definition of a fanatic. And the cow obviously didn't volunteer to be meat for a cheeseburger but if it lived a nice life then I don't see the big deal because people need to eat. How is being against the torturing and killing of animals but being okay with killing an animal who has lived a good life for survival "also to have double standard"? Why should I make my own thread? What should I respect this possible troll thread?
When people start attacking you like you are the worst person in the world, it is human nature to become very defensive. Bavarian could of just posted in Licurg's thread, sharing his thought that what Licurg is doing is offensive to him and probably to many people. If you create a thread, you are enticing people to respond and when the OP is about Licurg doing something offensive, naturally, people who want to say bad things about him, will do so without fear. They will join the angry mob. Strength in numbers.

I can't see that anyone did this (btw. he didn't even complain about this thread). But let's keep the discussion out of this giveaway. I think it leads nowhere.

If I can enter still (I didn't real all 7 pages), then I'll enter. I'm up for anything except Divine Divinity. I got that one already.

In many ways, I think that people should be forced to kill just a few of the animals that they eat. I think we should all recognize and respect just how huge it is to eat meat. You're ending a life. And life is precious.

In doing so, I think people would abuse animals less.

Yay for not injuring animals!

Also, we don't need to eat me to live in most locations of the world. Some places, I understand. It's needed. But other places, you can do very well with eating little to no meat and be just fine (in fact, likely be healthier).

It's just you. This topic has derailed a lot :))

Death takes your body. Torture rapes your soul. Vegan/vegetarian meat replacements are also insanely expensive.
If the topic subject is
"The anti-Sacrifice-giveaway giveaway" then why shouldn't you expect it to become derailed?

Don't generalize. I am from Romania and I do not like pictures of dead animals. I spent enough time on a farm while growing up. But seeing a puppy die, knowing they kill and eat the rabbits I was feeding, knowing that people would actually drown unwanted kittens and puppies did not thing to desensitize me, on the contrary it bothers me quite a lot. And yet I did not go to Licurg's topic and spew hateful bullshit as some people do in a topic that is opposite to that one.

Seriously, that topic is a giveaway, this topic is a giveaway (a better one :P ), stop treating it like some sort of argument. It's actually you people who are fighting that made this into something else. It's a giveaway, enter it or sod off.

Edit: the last part is not aimed at you langur, but at everyone who's fighting here, which obviously includes you :)).

Maybe you are the exception in your country? I mean, if something is all around people, don't most become desensitized? This topic is more than a giveaway.
