    I apologize, I already edited it out.

    If it helps them ? Come on... how would that help them, can't they just kick a rock or something ?
    All life is to be respected. If you unintentionally step on an ant, so be it. But you don't have to step on them on purpose.. it's just sick.

    well if it helps them, it helps them. I rather see people alive and well than see dead ants lying on the ground.

    Unless they're Chechens. Chechens bellies lie lower than ants. They need to be erased from history.

    you speak as though killing ants is the highest pedistal of sinister evil act on Earth and that is not done...have you not seen wars of humans?
    Have you not seen the bodies...the dead soldiers...civilians killed? Have you not known of jails with prisoners killing each other? Have you not hear of violence and rape in cities like Detroit and Las Vegas?

    ants or humans?

    I choose humans

    If it makes him/her feel better and she/he therefore does not commit evil against humans...than it is the right way.

    Murdering is murdering even if its ants you are killing.
    I'm close to choosing animals over humans, but that's my problem I guess..

    Unless they're Chechens, in which case the normal rules don't apply, whether they're queer or straight, it doesn't matter. Sexuality simply isn't a consideration if they're Chechens.

    hmmm...thing is, it doesnt really help the bullfighter...he just does that because he like the art. I mean if he did it or not...it does not matter since humans are not affected by his actions.

    it takes away anger and stress from human...who could have used that anger and stress on other humans which has a great potential in resulting in infliction of pain on others or death.

    Such people should get into therapy. And don't you think there are other ways to relieve the stress without hurting animals ? Like i said, kick a rock or something or punch a wall..

    you hit a rock...you feel pain...

    I really cannot explain to you the psychology of human individuals...as pain inflicted on ants/animals by humans is that cast pain on these humans by other humans...they just mirror that pain they received unto animals.

    If someone was to kill, would you ask me to justify his killing? And what if there was logic? What would stop me from killing? So therefore I cannot explain to you why they do such as kill ants.

    Accept it and live with it because it is better choice than the rest.
