Seal Wacking A Canadian SPORT? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #42951 42 posts Started by ExSane
Because Mike is lazy, and wants everyone to just go to google, instead of creating a discussion about it. Or simply answering a question.

To insinuate that ExSane was attempting to somehow belittle all Canadians by this post is ignorant. It was just to ask if it really happens, as the article suggested. To search it on the internet would do little, because you will find false information on both sides of the story. So, what better way to get the information he was seeking, then to ask someone from Canada on this board?

It's been answered by Valo, so it's over. Let's all thank Valo for not completely over-reacting, and actually educating us.

Thank you Valo.

because people who post on this board are experts right?
oh i'm lazy?
alright, we'll you're insecure because you feel the need to prove yourself and a ignorantly named thread title to people. Who cares? Fact of the matter is that he alluded to the fact that seal hunting is a sport in Canada. That's right in the title. It's not a sport. Check Canadian legislation if you want to find out if it's legal, don't go asking people on a board with all of 4 or 5 active Canadian members on it.

I don't care to debate this anymore, if you guys want to defend him that's fine, I really don't care, fact of the matter is that there are far better ways of approaching this, it's in Canadian law, so why argue about it? It's not a sport so why allude to it that way?

HE DIDNT KNOW IT WASNT. dur


The first line of your post said "I was on a website and saw this. Is this TRUE to all of you Canadians in here? Please CONFIRM this!"

So, just outta curiosity, are you trying to ask all the Canadians on this board to admit a crime? What kind of answers are you looking for from the Canadians on this board?

Being true or not, intentional or not, I believe your post is kind of rude.

i think he was asking for validation.

you all are making it seem like he was insinuating.

HUGE difference.

btw, they aren't admitting to a crime if they don't do it.

that's like asking me if people commit murders in america.

yes. yes they do. the end.

What about Norway they were also listed on myspace.
We need to give some credit to killer whales as well, they are
smart enough to know killing defenseless seals is wrong. rolleyes.gif
This whole discussion is useless. If I was Canadian I would take offense
to being singled out too. It is no different than any other kind of hunting
x-cept it is a little more graphic. I have my own whacking sport, but no
one gets hurt. laugh.gif

JDM guy made me do it.
what an over reaction.. You know if someone asked if us americans killed babys for fun like someone asked I highly doubt americans would over react because we are hated on all the time.. .

Canada on the other hand in only hated on by South Park and it seems that anything seems you upset you all very easily... which is odd cause I thought you were peaceful by nature and mature by nature... guess I was wrong

i believe he means a "sport" in the same context as hunting in the states is called a "sport". it's not like people go out and do it as a team and keep score, or anything like that.

all he's asking is if it takes place in canada, as the article suggests, whether it be legal or not.

so, it's a simple yes or no question, mike:

Does it take place in Canada, whether legal or illegal?

Yes or no, and that will be the end of it.


First that's just your interpretation of what he said
Hunting and sport are two different things.

sport  /spɔrt, spoʊrt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[spawrt, spohrt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
2. a particular form of this, esp. in the out of doors.
3. diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime.

Anyway, he should re-name the title.

As to the legality of the seal hunt, he could have googled it, it takes 3 seconds, I don't see why he would make a topic other than the fact that he wanted to draw attention to it and make a bad name for Canada.

Ok I just woke up and this is guy still posting making himself look stupid. FYI, I DID mean sport as HUNTING becuz HUNTING down here is a SPORT. Thank you again, for false assumptions! You are SOOO SMART! laugh.gif

Taking it the wrong way. I was asking them to do a confirmation on an event that I thought was unbelievable and I had no intentions of saying it is true which was why I asked. When confirming, you are to object or consider.

If you want to know about the legality of seal hunting go look it up on the internet
If you're so dumb that you actually think it's a sport up here than you're retarted, end of conversation

FYI, I did! Which was the reason why I posted and ASKED if this was true or not becuz I wasn't sure if the ARTICLE I WAS READING ON THE OTHER WEBSITE was a fake! Don't overreact becuz you ACCUSE ME of something someone else wrote! In reality, you should be bitch'n about them, not me. I simply asked if the article I read was true or not. I even used the ===== lines to seperate the article from my writings and the article. Grow the fuk up and STOP OVERREACTING. If you seriously was to post a thread up about Americans killing Arabs for a Hobby, I would simply LAUGH and say, "no... this is all fake. Don't even worry about it." Instead of jumping around like someone's got their foot up your ass.
