Driving a car is an essential component of life today and we all have
to take the risk of driving. Shooting is not. It is a sadistic
form of enjoyment and, in my view, those who participate in it or
encourage it deserve all they get if things go wrong.

The callous philosophy according to Angus.

Not nearly as callous as shooting wildlife.

Does anyone think that any right minded person could actually believe this?

If one is out shooting wildlife and gets shot in the process, I think
it serves him right.

I have no sympathy for them.

I think you have successfully made your point that you are callously
indifferent to any loss of life if it involves an accidental shooting
and that you have no sympathy whatsoever for the family who has lost one
of their number. I wonder if anyone other than a fanatical animal rights
supporter would share that view.

I think one has to be responsible for one's own actions and take the
risks associated with it. I take the same view in other directions as
well.

I think the farmer that shot the intruder was right to do so.

If a burglar falls through a fragile roof and kills himself it serves
him right.

If a gang member who carries a knife gets stabbed, I wouldn't be too
much concerned.

If the McCanns had not left their little girl while they went out
wining and dining, they'd have her today

And if the boy in question had not been out killing wildlife he'd be
alive today.

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
