Monsters Among Us

Theorem: a cat has nine tails.

Proof:

Look, it’s simple math, really—no cat out there has zero tails, right? So if you take a cat and give it one more tail than that zero, you’re looking at a cat with nine tails. Boom. Done.

Because, seriously, people...

Thousands upon thousands

every single day

let's not be naive here—if we can justify slaughtering a pig, we can justify kicking a cat, for Christ's sake...

... so, are we just supposed to accept this? Where does this lack of empathy lead us—this obsession with the suffering of living beings, whether it's for entertainment or whatever else? ...except maybe in Rwanda...

mistyseal11, let’s dial back the intensity for a second and actually run the numbers. What are the odds someone actually tracks this idiot down and makes an example out of him...
it’s all in his 😉

...if Google Earth is available to basically everyone... just imagine the kind of insane capabilities the US military actually has at its fingertips...

That’s quite an exaggeration, haha... though it feels like the military has nothing better to do than hunt down this lowlife. I was actually thinking more along the lines of us regular folks—the people on these forums 😍

Brenda Cooper3 As I was saying:
mistyseal11, maybe dial back the intensity just a notch and run the actual numbers for us? What are the odds someone actually tracks this idiot down and delivers him to justice like some kind of cosmic joke?
It’s all just stuck in your head. 😉

So, what’s the play here? You really think he can just break him mentally until there's nothing left? 😁
How many people like that actually exist? You don't even have to look hard to find them—maybe just check the neighbors' doorstep. It’s an old story: the state has always been the most effective tool for repression, provided you can first get it properly mobilized.

Both psychological and physical (whether it's the hard way or the soft way 😕)... 😁

Since it's a scientifically proven fact that animal cruelty during childhood and adolescence—often a symptom of a personality disorder—is incredibly linked to violent crime later in life, specifically because almost every rapist and serial killer has a history of "playing" with animals, I honestly think society needs to protect itself from these freaks. If the law won't do it (because the government doesn't give a damn until this idiot starts messing with people, and maybe even then), then we need some kind of massive retaliation.👍

So apparently, someone called me a monster just because I want to protect innocent animals and punish sick psychopaths who lack both empathy and a conscience, which is honestly pretty stupid. Because a creature like Srdjan will easily kick a baby or an old man too, and once just kicking isn't fun enough anymore, his twisted mind will come up with even more "fun" ways to torment the innocent and those weaker than him. And he'll do it without any empathy or guilt, because he simply doesn't have it, and he’s never going to learn how to care about anyone else's pain.

But, since he can still feel physical pain, it would be great to at least kick him like the moron he is.

Personally, I think creatures like that don't deserve to live or breathe the same air as us—people who actually value Life and just want to live in peace and harmony with one another and Mother Nature. And I think most people agree with me.

Someone asked me what I thought about the conflict in Rwanda, and my answer is that in this context, I don't give a shit about the conflict in Rwanda.
night.

The kind of guys who go looking for trouble with bikers or punks should be the first ones to step up and teach this animal a lesson for what he did to that animal. Not lethal, obviously. Just a few solid slaps to knock some sense into him. Aside from that, most people would probably just wet themselves if they saw twenty bald, tattooed guys marching through downtown Chicago in March...

Honestly, you know what would be pretty interesting to watch?just for a few minutes, maybe even less...if that guy actually kicked my dog.
Why just a few minutes? Because anything longer than that wouldn't be humane, obviously.
Since my dog follows my lead without question, I’d really hope he’d "forgive" me for making such a request, naturally🙂
Except, knowing how things go, that guy would probably end up crying to the local news, playing the victim and condemning both the dog and me for all the "trauma" he went through.

😍I’ve already gone ahead and shared that image😍we really ought to organize something like this😂
But that’s just what I was saying—be a tough guy now, then.Noooooo, in situations like that, people end up wetting themselves. But when it comes to bullying cats, dogs, or any other creatures that can't defend themselves? Oh, then they’re real "tough guys."
I honestly don't get it—if I saw someone five times my size being threatened, I’d rush in to protect them; to me, that feels like a challenge... but to go out of my way to hit a cat? I would feel absolutely miserable afterward...😵
Anyway—twenty bald, tattooed guys in leather jackets—as I said, daaaaah, I love the way you think😍

man, just throw him straight to the wolves and let's see how those "boys from the hood" react when you start messing with one of their own undercover brothers 😁>

... yeah, this is slowly turning into just another "venting session" thread...

ambermason16 said:You just give them a smack behind the ear, flip the little monkey over, and settle them down with three solid hits—two on the right, one on the left. Everything else is just extra credit.

I love proving the skeptics wrong. 😁

I absolutely loathe animal abusers. I’d subject them to the most brutal methods imaginable, heal them up, and then fillet them all over again.

So, we're just torturing people who are likely suffering from actual mental illness now?

It’s pretty easy to vent your rage on someone when you aren't even bothering to understand their struggle or their state of mind—isn't it? It’s the exact same logic used by the guy who kicked that cat.

Honestly, that guy’s volleyball serve was actually decent 😉

Why didn't he just go after the cat instead? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JckAU...eature=related

placidwolf27 said:Oh, please... since when did we start using sniper rifles on cattle?

Aside from that, livestock can actually be quite useful—I fail to see how a sniper helps there...

Seriously though, I was reading some story online the other day about some idiots setting a dog on fire. Honestly, I’d kill them if I could.😠 🙂

Oh, you’re being quite the visionary, aren't you? If we’re discussing true torture—real suffering—nothing beats the slow, agonizing process of jamming bamboo splinters under one's fingernails. Though, I suppose even the Brazen Bull isn't exactly a walk in the park.

casualharbor9 said:... yeah, this is slowly turning into just another "venting session" thread...

That’s exactly what I was trying to get at... but man, everyone is so quick to point fingers at everyone else instead of looking in the mirror...

And then once you actually call them out on their nonsense, they suddenly go all philosophical and start making excuses for themselves.🙂

Hmm... there’s a certain truth to that, isn't there? 😍

The scene:
Twenty burly men with grim expressions, shaved heads, and menacing tattoos.
You arrive... you run (captured in slow motion, just like one of those Hollywood teen movies), tossing your hair back—brown or blonde, depending on your look—and splashing ice-cold tea over your face.
Skinheads are on edge, waiting to see how this plays out... some of them are just picking at their ears in the meantime.

Then someone starts leading a stadium chant, everyone pulls into a massive group hug, and we all start dancing in a circle.
You step away for a second and suddenly a "WTF" just flashes through your mind. 😕

The guys keep dancing, then some start stripping down... just grabbing at each other because of the heat. Then the heavier types join in on the shirtless crowd. Meanwhile, the rest of the football fans just head off to the game.
You’re left standing there all alone, wearing soaked shirts with your ears ringing from that intern constantly blasting the hair dryer through your hair just because they needed the right shot for the scene...

A cat wanders in by accident, and you end up kicking it out of sheer, unadulterated rage.
Some skinhead starts screaming, all forty of them—including the ones carrying a little extra weight this time around—gather back together, and slap that idiot silly...

😂

Stupid humor, I know...
You really love spinning those little scenarios around in your head, don't you? 😬 In the style of a noir film. xD

Brenda Cooper3 said:Look, casualharbor9, it’s like when you act without giving much thought to the consequences. I think we’ve all been in a situation like that at some point. We usually just call those mistakes.
But these creeps who target animals clearly have a lower IQ, which correlates with a diminished capacity for reasoning or considering the outcome before they act.
Whatever passes through their minds in that moment probably stems from some twisted part of the brain dedicated to "entertainment," or whatever you want to call it. They simply don't think long enough to realize that this particular brand of fun is fundamentally wrong.
Because they aren't factoring in a few key things:
1. Animals feel pain too.
2. Animals are innocent, helpless creatures, and you never touch them because it is—how should I put this?—an unwritten rule.

In that specific moment, they simply don't account for any of that. 😠
Perhaps they were raised in environments where animals are viewed merely as objects—typically rural areas.
In the countryside, it’s considered perfectly normal to kill a rat, or to shoot a dog or cat if they're even slightly injured instead of taking them to a vet. Birds are either food or target practice.
I’d say animals suffer quite a bit in rural settings, especially when dealing with certain human morons—and trust me, they exist. ☕
I’m not saying the idiots from the city are any better—those guys who spend 24/7 playing shooters on a PlayStation or a PC, craving the thrill of killing "for real" 🙄 only to find an animal and lash out at it. In more extreme cases of gaming addiction, they grab an AR-15 and open fire on their classmates at a university (we’ve all heard the news stories about those types).

Honey, please don't listen to what people tell you, or even worse, think about things that way. You should try finding a friend out in the country, hang out for a bit, really get to know rural life so you can actually compare it to the city.
On most farms, though it's not a rule, animals are way more than just 'things.'
All this talk about vermin sounds like a mild horror movie (PG-13 rated) to me; I mean, killing a rat is totally normal—I don't know any other way besides pest control... shooting a dog or a cat... as for dogs, unfortunately, there are plenty of examples of that, though maybe less common than before (city folks handle it easier... they just drive out to some rural area and dump them from the trunk), and when it comes to cats, I gotta admit, I’ve never, ever heard of anyone 'shooting' a cat just because it was injured.
Prejudices, prejudices, prejudices... and of course, stereotypes.
Dear Brenda Cooper3, Happy Easter and thanks for the 'food for thought,' because you've actually given me enough motivation to go out into the yard, give my dog a big hug, play for a little while, and just listen to the birds chirping together... Peace!!!!
